The other day, while looking for a rug on the interweb, I happened upon this handsome sight.  Room and Board’s new addition, The Louis Chair.  Isn’t he wonderful?  I don’t know why I love them so much…Maybe because wingback chairs, with their stiff, upright back and their looming and enveloping wings makes me feel protected and oh so safe.   Kinda like being swept into Colin Firths arms.  I know its not the 1700’s, I don’t need protection from the drafty windows, or the roaring fire.  But who would turn down Mr. Darcy.

A few years back, CB2 came out with the Briar chair and loveseat and I was smitten.  I used it in a model apartment I furnished.  So many people asked about it.  CB2 had a hard time keeping it in stock.  It seems that the popular wingback is here to stay a while.  I love the little twists that designers add to a classic that makes it seem fresh again.
