Currently, this is my favorite spot in my house. However, before I moved this chair into the corner, our giant television, which sat on an equally imposing Tansu chest, took up this entire area, and basically obscured the window. These tall, thin windows, which flank either side of our fireplace, are a lovely architectural feature, and I was, frankly, horrified that they'd been covered up by a television.

Designed in 1958 by Norman Cherner, the Cherner Armchair ($949) has a dramatic and elegant sloping shape, achieved by molding plywood, that sweeps me off my feet, literally and figuratively. Made of solid beech, it's built to last. This particular chair is a reproduction of the 1958 design, manufactured to the exact original specs by Cherner Chair, a company run by Norman Cherner's sons.

If you're thinking the West Elm Overlapping Squares Chair and its circle followup are a bit played out, but still want to introduce that trendy geometric element into your home, then the Grandin Road Raja Chair ($299, reduced from $399) is for you. The Chinese cherry wood chair is a sleek eye-catcher that'll give any lonely corner in your home an instant face lift. It's not exactly a Papasan, but for a wood accent chair it actually looks pretty comfortable — with a cushion of course.

I may have once written that blue velvet is a fall luxury, but I lied. Sorry, it's May now and I still can't resist the rich and warm color and texture of it. Dressed in the luxurious material, the Room and Board Quinn Chair ($749) is no exception; I can't keep my eyes off of it.

I know, I know. I'm a bit behind the clock to be declaring this now. But, Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chair ($410), have I told you lately that I love you?

Absolutely Beautiful Things recently took on the challenge of reupholstering an old armchair. I suppose this senior citizen has its charms, but it's also clearly been through a lot of wear and tear over the years. She chose a gorgeous, lattice-like pattern for the fabric, and "decided to replace the gathered arm detail on this chair with face and piping detail."
