Sometime ago, I visited our neighbours at Met Home and Mary was kind enough to let me snap some pictures of her great classics.

Every time I go and visit her showroom I am reminded of why I love furniture so much. These pieces come from all over and are generally those of their era. The store is always changing with new goods but one of my favourite pieces that turned up was a pair of Kids Molar chairs by American Wendell Castle.
With proper love and care you can see how well great quality furniture holds up. Most of the pieces in the following pictures are still in production today and available in our store.

Right: A blue velvet Eames Aluminum group lounge chair. With the original four spoke base (later switched to a five spoke for safety)
