Last week I was wandering about in the city and came across Room & Board furniture store. Holy bejesus, finally, a real furniture store that has interesting furniture that can fit in a loft apartment. All three huge floors of showroom had just tons of beautiful stuff. But I had one objective.

For months now, I’ve been searching for a comfy chair that will fit in my office and be fun and maybe even just a bit funky. I found the perfect chair (elsewhere) but when I measured the room and returned to reality where the chair would *be* the room, I realized I need to downsize my chair dimensions, and probably my ass.

Having decided that a smaller armless chair would be the way to go, I was amazed at how many armless chairs the store has. On the website there are thirty one choices! So after plunking my butt in all of them, I am down to two possibilities

(Renzo) (Gigi)

The Gigi is a very very fun chair and pretty comfy. Pondering hours and hours of X-box Halo 2 training in the chair though, I tend towards the Renzo. It is a beautiful chair, but not completely my style (and certainly not in that fabric), but man it is comfortable, and it comes in a really fun alternate fabric. I could sit in that chair all day and my butt will only have to hurt metaphorically as I play the part of skeet in the Halo 2 shootout.

As a last comment about the wonder that is Room & Board, they have a parking lot! for those of us coming from the burbs, this makes me want to kiss the sales rep before they even show me the first chair.
