The Opal Chair from a contemporary collection from Lexington called Black Ice is so sophisticated and beautiful. This stylish chair features a transitional carved look, round seat back, tight seat cushion and nail head trim (optional) with a high gloss finish (other finish options are available). Available in leather or fabric upholstery.

Sometimes you have to stop, and SIT ON the roses. The Rose Chair by Masanori Umeda is very whimsical and unique, perfect for those seeking originality in design. Each petal is hand made, layered to provide a comfortably padded seat and back. The frame is in moulded metal with small parts in shaped wood. The filling is in polyurethane foam and Dacron and the legs are in turned and brushed aluminium with a kiln-dried transparent finish coating, available in aluminum or painted finishes.

Upholstery is offered in a selection of velvets, however, I could imagine mixing several colors (and textiles other than velvet) such as red and orange, or fushia and purple, or levels of turquoise to greens instead of just using one single color. Or upholstering using COM, selecting fabrics with stripes of bright colors, running the pattern on the petals vertically, and upholstering the body in a single coordinating color or pattern- which will achieve a more modern (and less feminine) look and feel. Remember, customization is your friend.

I am one who loves when traditional furniture styles are mixed with modern design trends, such as painting the frame a fresh new color and upholstering using a bold or graphic fabric. “The Canes” Ice Blue Hand Carved Chair from Room Service is a perfect example.  The Victorian-style frame is painted in a high gloss ice blue lacquer with chrome nail head details on medium-scaled Moroccan printed upholstery fabric.

Interesting as is pictured, frame paint color and upholstery fabrics are customizable. Also, never be afraid to check if the manufacturer can upholster using COM (Customers Own Material). COM means you can purchase fabric from another source and the manufacturer may be able to upholster the furniture using your chosen material, or you can take the furniture to a custom upholstery business and they can do it. Just ask the furniture manufacturer for the COM quantity, and they will tell you exactly how much is needed so you can order from the other source. Just be sure to verify that the material you are selecting is appropriate for upholstery. The cost of the chair would not include COM material- the chair and COM fabric are two separate purchased items. Be prepared for a longer lead time (usually a few more weeks than normal delivery time) when making custom orders, but the end result is always worth it.
