That's a great looking rocker, but it looks as if it could give you one heck of a kidney jab. Have to be careful with that one.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point there. I'm not sure that would be a good chair to have out at a party if alcohol were going to be served. :)
DeleteIts interesting to know that most of these awesome designers started out with someone making basic furniture and worked their way up :)..love the rocking chair, highback chair and the sofa are my top favz
ReplyDeleteYes, most did seem to start with someone established right out of college and then later open their own studios.
DeleteWhat style. Not sure about picking out furniture but if I ever have to name a kid again I am going to look through your lists of designers for a real doozy! How cool would it be to be called Illum Jones?
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence...I was just thinking this morning that my daughter and SIL should have picked famous designer names for Grandsons #1 and #2. Illum Jones kinda puts me in mind of Illya Kuryakin...only easier to spell. :)
DeleteI'll put my order in for the ML90 easy chair, they are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe ML90 is my favorite too. I'd love to have one in any color! It's so beautiful that I'd happily redecorate my room around it. :)
DeleteWe demand a ML90 easy chair- either one, we're not fussy - immediately!
ReplyDeleteWhere are these beauties hiding? I've never seen one anywhere.
DeleteMy company currently works with the Wikksloe family, and we manufacture the famous V11 sofa and easy chair and we are just about to re luanch WIkkelsoe's ML90 sofa. His work was stunning, Wikkelsoe had a great sense of balance and proportions, along with a perfectionist according to his family.
