Why do I like this chair? I cannot imagine ever actually purchasing it for use in my home. Nor would I recommend it to a client, if I were a decorator–which I am not.
Maybe because it is witty. Some people will think it is pro-war, but I dunno. For one thing, they don’t wear camo like that in Iraq. Also, it’s made by Frenchmen.

Sure, I eventually met my husband, Mr. Right-Click, through online dating. But not before I had dated nearly one hundred of Los Angeles' least suitable bachelors. Laugh along in my Online Dating Chronicles.

Los Angeles is where I was born and raised. I always thought I'd leave, but for some reason I never did. Sometimes, I like it here. Other times, I'm not so sure. But good or bad, it has made me who I am.
Sometimes I take the melodrama of my life and twist and turn it until it looks almost charming. I do this because I want you to like me:
He is my best friend, even if he uses a PC. And the fact that sometimes he will pretend to be a "Pancake Pirate" is only part of the reason. Arrrr!
His cutie-pie percentile group is off the charts.
If you think this is just about exercise, then you have underestimated how wildly inappropriate people can be when they undergo physical pain in a group setting.

It is witty, playful, even though I don’t think I would ever have it in my home. It doesn’t look comfortable enough.
Oh, I didn’t think “camo” at all when I looked at it (and I abhor camo and, as such, feel like I have “camo radar”). It actually instantly made me think of Matisse… I LIKE IT!!! I would buy it. It could be my “conversation piece,” starting conversations like: “So, what do you think of camo?”
I think the chair is great! I agree with J, it’s playful.
Fun piece. I like the juxtaposition of the classic chair silhouette with the ’70s pop art reference fabric. I wouldn’t buy it, though….mostly because my cat would end up yakking on the cream colored spot on the front.
It is a clown chair. I don’t like it.
@PauvrePlume. Hmm, never thought of the Matisse angle, but I do see what you are saying. OTOH, the color scheme is pretty much unarguably military. The name of the fabric is “cache cache.” Anybody want to take a stab at deconstructing?
@Weezy. Yeah, it’s not exactly practical. Don’t think it would be enhanced by the addition of crusted chicken nuggets–so it’s a no-go in this house. But we are modern less than we are Montage, anyway.
@AKD. do you mean a clown chair as in a chair that a clown would own, or a chair that looks like a clown, or a chair that makes one into a clown for buying it. PS how do you really feel?
Hey Anna,
“Cache” means “hide” in French…”cache cache” is actually the name the French give to “hide-’n-go-seek,” so I guess they were going for the camo angle, huh?? I still like it.
Whenever I wear a piece of clothing that sports a colorful pattern like this, Will labels it “clown fashion.” I believe that it means “something that a clown would wear.” So therefore, this chair would be something that a clown would own. Can’t you see a clown sitting in it, with a painted-on greasepaint smile and big floppy shoes?
