Seating is everything. It can make or break a room, and your comfort. While the design of any given seat can be crucial to the aesthetic of a space, it is important to strike the delicate balance of design and comfort, with an equal emphasis on both. At Dittmar Design, we get quite the thrill from well designed chairs, and how it can instantly give any room an immediate facelift. From heavily textured to more comfy chairs, to sleek modern and sophisticated, we have selected five chairs we are coveting now.

Leather Chair

One of our favorite pieces, this Baker Mcguire chair makes a statement. This unique design, made up of leather fringe, is an accent chair we love to add to any living space; particularly a warm and open living room to anchor the space.

Oakley Chair

The Modern armchair we can’t live without. This chair is a tribute to the work of Pierre Jeanneret in India. It’s architectural design packs so much punch and personality, a wonderful accent chair we prefer to put in pairs. Buy 2 and make them a part of your open living space, office or library.

Spanish Chair

An exceptional oak and leather chair that is sure to steal the show. It’s sophisticated masculine aesthetic pairs perfectly with a mountain chic theme and acts as the perfect accent chair for an office, library or mountain chalet living room. We love to see this anchor a seating area alongside an oversized coffee table, cloud-like couch and textured rug.

Danishcabinet Maker Wing Chair

The wing chair we want to nap in. This cozy shearling and inviting oversized chair adds warmth to the home. It’s rich in texture and steeped in comfort. It’s design was birthed in Denmark in the 1940’s and has held the test of time.

Oakley Chair

Sustainability is always at the forefront of our minds at Dittmar design, and this sustainably made oakley chair is one of our top favorites. Why? This chair sits on glides and is ultra-comfy. For those looking to add a sophisticated accent chair to a modern space, this is the chair we recommend.

Event Synopsis:

HIGH POINT MARKET, NC.

High Point Market was the high point in my fall. Hosted in North Carolina, the biannual event is the largest furnishing trade show in the world, spread over 180 buildings encompassing 10 million square feet of things I love: textures, patterns, colors, prints, structure and making space livable and lovable. 

This trade show didn't just come out of nowhere; in 1909 the first Southern Furniture Market took place over two weeks and has been held in some form ever since (except at the end of World War II). People come from all over the world for it, and after attending for my first time I now know why. 

I travelled to the southeast in early October for the event, and still feel inspired by it today. Highlights from High Point include a book signing with Kelly Wearstler at Visual Comfort (she's one of my icons!) and a fringe chair from McGuire and Baker. Some other great stops were Four Hands, Moe's, and Arteriors (mixing art and interior design, just like it sounds). I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Just click on the photo to scroll through the gallery, and scope out what's new in interior design.
