New favorite source: Casamidy furniture

If I were going to produce a furniture line, this is exactly what it would look like. The best thing about Casamidy is, their stuff really is not crazy expensive--not affordable for those of us who are broke, of course, but considering how gorgeous it is, and given that it's handmade, I'd normally expect it to cost a hell of a lot more. It is literally SO GOOD that a post attempting to show all the highlights would be three pages long; so since I've already shown you the best of the end tables, here is part two: the chairs.

The Symi armchair... be still, my wildly palpitating heart.

The Varenne opera chair

Which is also available in luminous nickel plate

and as a side chair

the Ixelles chaise

and the Ixelles solarium dining chair

I love that all these pieces are stunning in all 360 degrees... they're like evening gowns with some gorgeously unexpected detail in the back. It takes a great designer to think to make the back of a chair as beautiful as the front.
