Chairs

MOLDING A MODERN DINING ROOM WITH EAMES!

August 14, 2012

A mid century modern classic…the Eames Molded Plastic Chair. First introduced to in 1948 by the famed design couple Charles and Ray Eames, this chair has become a timeless decor and design staple.

Here’s a look at how this classic is used quite elegantly in modern dining rooms from around the world!

What do you think of the Eames chair? Like or dislike? Would you ever use in your dining room? If you own one or two or more…where are you using them?

Happy Tuesday!

    I use two white ones as end chairs along with four Emeco Navy chairs…with a plain white table and Horchow’s Capiz Shell Pendant Light (the big ball) hanging above. I love them.

    I really appreciate these chairs, and I would use them in a clients home if they wanted them. But they aren’t my favorite.

    They are really starting to grow on me. I like them mixed with rustic. Would work great with my set as chairs for the head of the table. Would be a great contrast to my Darcy Shabby Chic chairs.

    I love that first room except for the chairs. It would look gorgeous with some Louis XV-style chairs.

    Hmmm I do like these chairs but not 100 percent convinced they work in these settings. I think it’s the metal frame that makes them though.

    Love the chairs, too. My favorite picture is definitely the one with the wood floor. The modern and rustic coming together is a great combo.

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.

London based interior designers at Studio Ashby @s London based interior designers at Studio Ashby @studioashby along with French architect Antoinette Zalewski @antoinettezalewskiarchitecte transformed this St Germain residence from two separate units into a seamless, elevated whole. New parquet floors, restored panelling, a bespoke staircase, and custom rugs. Every detail shaped by skilled fine craftsmen and a serene, neutral palette drawn from the colours of Paris itself. ✨

Always nice to be back here.

Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than e Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than everything else?
While living in this cute 3 bed 2 bath apartment in the 6ème, I realized it comes down to a few things done really well:
• High ceilings
They create space without adding anything
• Herringbone wood floors
Classic, subtle, and never go out of style
• Crown molding + ceiling medallions
The detail that quietly elevates the entire room
• Interior French doors
They give you openness and separation at the same time
• Natural light
The one thing you can’t fake
I’m staying in this adorable pied-a-terre for a two months. It is my sister and brother in law’s place; they invited me to cozy up here on my own while they are back home in LA.
Every room keeps proving the same point. It’s not about adding more. It’s about getting the foundation right.
If you could only bring one of these Paris apartment design elements into your home, which one would it be?

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.
