At this time of year when it’s cold and dark outside, the key is persuade your friends to come round to you rather than you having to schlep out in the rain and fail to find a taxi or a bus home some hours later. To do that you will need a) the ability to open a bottle of wine and throw together a bowl of pasta and b) somewhere comfy to sit.
Bingo. This rather beautiful piece will support and hug in all the right places and yes, while it’s expensive (good chairs are) these days you absolutely don’t have to have a matching set, so mixing up a cheapy vintage with a more expensive version and perhaps a wooden bench with a great cushion on, will solve your problems and help the budget.
