Two lovely bunches of white Lisianthus from Columbia Road this week... more here.

Golden Egg

This year Arne Jacobsen's Egg chair, turns 50. On 1 February Fritz Hansen launched 999 of the limited edition chocolate brown leather and suede Golden Eggs...

Do you think there are many of these gorgeous Golden Eggs still available??

The Egg is one of my favourite chairs and I long for the day that I have room for one... never mind needing the funds to be able to buy one... but we can worry about that once we have the space.

Pot Chair

Another gem, which I picked up last year at the spring Our Showhome Midcentury.Modern fair, is an original Arne Jacobsen Pot chair. It's incredibly comfortable and had been a dream chair of mine for a long time.

I got it from The Modern Warehouse. They had a pair, and both had been reupholstered crudely in rather unplesant orange fabric so I knew I'd have to get it recovered. I contacted Fritz Hansen who are the official manufacturer of Arne Jacobsen's furniture, who put me in contact with their UK upholsterer and I arranged to have my chair covered in lovely dark grey Kvadrat wool felt.

Apologies for my poor photography, but... I love it, and am totally delighted with the end result. I feel very lucky to have it and make sure that I sit in it at least once a day... !
