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. 
Digg this!
two things make this worth blogging. First, my NYC traffic viewer is featured on the plasma in the lobby. That was just pretty darn neat! After 45 minutes happily staring at that, I noticed the other fun feature of the lobby.
