I love the Royal Festival Hall chair too. My favorite thing about it is the asymmetrical back cushion.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-67241467871783612072012-01-16T23:53:12.424-06:002012-01-16T23:53:12.424-06:00Love the whimsy of the Robin Day Royal Festival Ch...Love the whimsy of the Robin Day Royal Festival Chair, not to mention the color matching beautifully with the wood.Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-50292230586441836912012-01-16T17:00:18.187-06:002012-01-16T17:00:18.187-06:00Yes, those arms are ergonomic masterpieces, before...Yes, those arms are ergonomic masterpieces, before that became a widely used word.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-350960498959140242012-01-16T15:02:00.805-06:002012-01-16T15:02:00.805-06:00We have the reproduction organic chair.
