The joke around here is that we have a chair-chive in the basement.
When I was small we had these very, very groovy chairs on the patio under the very-southern-california patio roof that dad built. The chairs allowed one to admire the half wine barrels full of flowers and hanging cymbidiums, orchids and the like. The chairs left a significant pattern on bare skin, but I’d still love to have them back. Recently I’ve run across a spate of vintage patio goodness. It makes me feel nostalgic for the little orchid fingers.
It started when I saw one on the Flora Grubb site, and then Remodelista, and then I had to go looking. Best google bet is vintage hoop chair.
