Will they ever go out of style? We doubt it. Forged by the mid century modern era gods of furniture design, these chairs were the epitome of innovation when they were first conceived and still top the charts today as the greatest for their resilience and timeless design. These classic designer chairs have a funny way of transforming an ordinary room into something spectacular. But at times it can be a bit confusing to decide which of these would look great for a particular space. To help you with this, we have prepared a guide that provides suggestions for the application of these chairs in various contemporary interior settings.
