I'm a homo sapien so I can't help but have the tendency to anthropomorphize objects.
I do this with clothes, art, and furniture.
Plus I like making scenarios up in my head which I do all the time while waiting for things so I did this while scrolling on Pinter-est.

You may not like these chairs but you know these chairs.

This is nourishment in minutiae but non-negotiable.

Might be time to just like each others' posts on Facebook and leave it at that.
Upcycled Suitcase as Chair

She also starts every other sentence with,"You are never going to believe this!"
Fur upholstered director's chair
This chair is like that person who says that they are so chilled out and so relaxed and they are so zen and that yoga has changed their life but they freak out that there is lemon instead of lime in their room temperature,crystal infused, new moon marinated Emoto water.

This chair wouldn't use a mobile phone unless it's an emergency. They hate the internet and thinks it is a conspiracy for Big Brother to track your every move and will ultimately be the downfall for the human race that most likely deserves it anyway.
And they are probably right.
Quaker Farmchair
Not necessarily the best value at dinner parties nor are they your most amusing friend but they are the ones who will bring you soup if you are ill, they are the ones who actually answers the phone, and they always keep your extra set of house keys safe.
Whether you liked it or not, you are getting a part 2 next month!
Love this.
ReplyDeleteTa!

Deletethis post is great. Looking forward to part 2. Den x
ReplyDeleteThere really are so many chairs like people types Den! x
DeleteI can't wait for the overly dramatic friend or the one who thinks the are your friend,,,but they're really not. Ooooh, what's your take on the lazy boy recliner?
ReplyDeleteLazy boy? by name by nature no?! ;)
DeleteIf I send pictures of chairs, will you describe them?
ReplyDeleteKaren
Hi Karen, if you are willing and I feel inspired then I just might - but this is a bit like psychic reading so I might get nothing at all! ;)
DeleteVery funny! I love the high functioning alcoholic chair myself - looks very comfy.
ReplyDeleteI also once had a skirt made out of that Louis chair flower fabric. It's a very nice embroidered fabric. Made a good skirt, bit much on a chair though. xx
Very comfy after two drinks but awkward after 5!
DeleteThe fabric is lovely but it is a bit one hit wonder for a chair? xx
This post madre me simile, The best thing to begin the day witg. Can't wait for The second part
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Ordinette!
DeleteI think that my chairs represent the type of person who never goes out to buy chairs, but just makes do with whatever gravitates his way. I also have a pair of dour, sharp-edged ancestors, but to balance these a more genial, sturdy bamboo-blond friendly type.
ReplyDelete--Jim
PS--The Curmudgeon chair is correct about the internet--in fact, it's even worse than he thinks!
Ha Jim! My chairs are a bit worrying now that I look at it - but I make do you see and I am to scared to delve hehe
DeleteOk, so I actually like the poppy fabric on your Louis Whatsy chair!
ReplyDeleteMay the Chair Be With You.
Takes my mind off Old Kate's Indian tour frocks x
Gotta say that the new yet ol' couple ain't making the headlines even on the daily mail - would love to workshop all that with you!! x
DeleteLove it! I might well see myself in part two of your study of chairs!
ReplyDeleteSSG xxx
Oh? Shall we guess which ones! :) xx
DeleteSo funny. Hehe I'm going to look at the chairs around my house differently today. XO
ReplyDeleteBut remember your chairs don't reflect you though hehe xx
DeleteLOVED this :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Deleteif I were a chair I think I'd be an emerald lacquered Chinese Chippendale with a white patent leather seat. As in you love it at first and then it grates on your nerves quickly and becomes overwhelming. I am nothing if not self aware.
ReplyDeleteMore chairs tomorrow please I don't want to wait. If you lived in the US I would make a Dawson's Creek reference here. I know genius can't be rushed but rush.
HAHAHAHAA! I'd buy that chair and show it off for a while and stick you back up for auction only to be stored away but then fifty years later you become a collectors and you are then saved from a life of being suffocated with dirty laundry then to the double edge sword of life in an ivory tower sectioned off in a museum.
DeleteSAJ - I would for you but I am out tonight but maybe I can do a token one chair - compromise is key!
Aah, I like it and am waiting for part two!I wonder what's to come. I'm the quaker armchair sort of person - I've got one.
ReplyDeleteSturdy reliable and never out of fashion :)
DeleteI LOVE this!!! I'd like to motion that Emoto Water crowd over to the electric chair.
ReplyDeleteLol! Good one!
DeleteOh my gawd! :) I think I know someone like that Louis floral chair :)
ReplyDeleteToo fun!
xoxo
I do like quirky furniture, that upcycled suitcase chair is a gem! Happy weekend xx
ReplyDeleteI rather like the Midas chair. It sort of says " sit for just a bit & then, move on. It's visually appealing, but will never be your best friend.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know someone else has a tendency to anthropomorphise furniture.
Great selection of chairs & their personalities!
Hilarious. Love the high functioning alcoholic green one. Looking forward to your comments on Le Corb chaise longue, etc. In Sri Lanka they used to have cane chairs that bit you (well the cane bugs did). Often in doctors' waiting rooms. Then there are the ones with backs that suddenly give way behind you. You think it's just a normal chair and lean back a little, next thing you're almost prone in a split second. There was one like this at Parliament House in one of the Committee rooms. Quickly learned which one to avoid - but it did enliven meetings when a person rushed in late and threw themselves into it and then gave out a low scream as they hurtled backwards. Funny how the maintenance people never seemed to fix it! Pammie
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! So funny!
DeleteSuch a great post. I like the emerald chair and I will leave it at that. Ha. Can't wait for part two! xx

DeleteBeing a scarf and chair lover that I am, many years ago, I bought a Gucci scarf that has many chairs printed on it. How I wish I have the time to upload an well-constructed image of the said scarf - Italian furniture is tops in my books!
ReplyDeleteI adore Italian furniture too so I'm biased so can't look at it with the analytics.
DeleteI love that plush emerald green, reminds me so much of British styling, my friend had a bathroom in that color and it was stunning
ReplyDeleteYou lived in London so that chair is very London!
DeleteYou are hilarious! The high functioning alcoholic: *snort*. And the suburban smug chair made me laugh out loud. This is a coffee table book in the making, my friend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have a warped sense of humour like me!
DeleteThis is hilarious and has me looking at my chairs. I think I have a couple of fat disapproving old matrons in the family room. They’re looking down their noses at my faux zebra rug. Waiting for second edition! Tonkath
ReplyDeleteThat marshmallow is like me! ;)
DeleteI love the vintage 50's one. I would be the floral pink Louis armchair, but something that pretty should get a second date! I have a small fading brown velvet boudior chair in my bedroom that belonged to my mother, I'm thinking of a character for it now!
ReplyDeleteOh yes but life is funny like that right?
