The Chair
"I chose the Cantilly chair by Flamant because it's solid, practical, and comfortable for people of all sizes," says Burgess. "It is a great-looking reproduction that could, with its traditional lines, hold its own in a room filled with 18th-century antiques. The brown-and-gray limed finish reminded me of driftwood, which keeps the chair and the room from getting too serious. The wood could also be stained or lacquered to take the chair in a different direction."
Lovely in Leather
"The cream patent leather was inspired by some of my favorite creamware pieces," says the designer. "I love the idea of using patent leather on a classic chair to give it an edge. This style is practical for the client who needs something that cleans easily but also looks great. The chair could sit at a breakfast table that is used every day, but it looks just as chic in a formal dining room."
