Antoinette Fainting Sofa in Aubergine

A Fainting Couch wasn’t commonly referred to as such until the 19th century when ladies wore corsets so tightly that it often left them breathless to the point where one of these would be quite useful.  Poor things, I can imagine them becoming faint and turning purple like the pale cool purple of this Antoinette Fainting Sofa in Aubergine.  I, however, would be wearing my comfy jeans watching “Marie Antoinette” by Sophia Coppola as I lounge on this tufted cotton velvet chaise.  Look for some French Revolutionary Inspirations tomorrow lovelies. $550

Hot Pink Chaise 

My, my, my, did it get hot in here or is it just me? Hmmm, it might just be the hot vibes from this hot pink chaise by Laurel Crown Furniture.  If you are a fan and would consider going this daring albeit fabulous route, you must be careful and pair this one of a kind with some black (or white) and neutral tones.   No need to paint a red accent wall in this room.

Le Corbusier Chaise Lounge 

You would certainly recognize this chaise as a classic.  This Chaise Lounge is adjustable, as the chromed-steel cradle sits in a black steel base.   How strangely this design seems as effortless and modern as his other well-known furniture pieces.  Le Corbusier was certainly a genius and rightly placed in history, as the Art Deco modernism movement equally embraced and was influenced by this design giant.

Reproduction $799

 Barcelona Chair

The sweeping lines of chrome tubing make the Barcelona Chair from the Modernist movement one of my all-time favorites!  Designed in 1930 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, this design is somewhat more feminine, this can possibly be attributed to the repercussions of the Art Nouveaux movement that came before.  The matching ottoman to the Barcelona Chair is just as spectacular!

Le Corbusier Sofa Set

Le Corbusier was mainly an architect and writer who started to experiment with furniture design only a year before he designed this ultra-modern chair collection!  Inspired and designed in the late roaring 1920’s, this classic furniture line is still as impacting and fresh today as the day they were birthed.   Pieces of this sofa set are available starting at $1670, but my recommendation is to purchase either two of the chairs or just the sofa and complement it with something different (like the Barcelona chair) to mix it up a bit.  The blank canvas effect of these pieces completely allow for it.Reproductions Starting at $789
