I’ve been seeing a lot of metal side chairs recently that meld edgy, industrial chic with flea market charm. They conjure up vignettes of powdery, exposed brickwork dotted with wild and unkempt ivy and potted greens; something you might find in the cobwebby corner of an ancient conservatory, rich with atmosphere and history.
Anthropologie’s Redsmith Dining Chair, $219
I love the burnished copper finish of this piece: a bit of warmth that takes off some of the industrial edge.
Crate and Barrel’s Lyle Side Chair, $199 USD
Like a galvanized bucket reincarnated as a side chair. So cute!
You’ll even be seeing this style popping up at your nearest HomeSense in Summer 2010 in the form of this bargain-priced galvanized bistro beauty — priced at only $149! (Keep your eyes peeled for these dying-to-be-a-dining-chair perches, because these won’t last long with that price tag…)
