Founder and CEO of fashion brand Henning Lauren Chan was looking for an unusual piece for her home: a Great Dane statue for a pedestal in her apartment. She browsed the Chairish art category on the daily for just the right item for her space (a fun activity if we’ve ever heard one). After searching for awhile, she found her match, and this statue found a new home — after all, every dog has its day. Read on to learn more about Lauren’s search and find a new piece of art for your own home.
