spring is well and truly here
and what better way to celebrate it than with an outdoor room like this one ...
Domino
Elle Decor
The popularity of this chair peaked in Ancient Greece around 400BC.
No one has actually sat on an original, as not one has actually survived!
It was first spied on ancient Greek pots.
The elegant klismos chair has been
reproduced
reinvented
refreshed
and
retailed
and I love them!
HAPPY MONDAY!
