out of africa

Sometimes you just stumble across something on the interweb that makes you take a sharp intake of breath.

Like the above image.

That chair! That fabric! I just went “wow!”

This classic Eames club chair has been daringly reupholstered by chez bohème, an Etsy emporium catering for “the artfully uninhibited home”.

Thankfully, I am not tempted to spend money I do not have to possess said chair, since:

a) although the picture makes great eye candy, it wouldn’t really go in my house,

b) it is prohibitively expensive ($1,150), and

c) it is located in Shelburn, Vermont, USA.

The upholstery fabric is an African wax print.

Armed with this fact, I went on a bit of a trawl for other examples of these striking fabrics.

Enjoy!
