And furniture-maker, artist and architect Roy McMakin nailed it with this gorgeous pair of indigo lounge chairs. This set of chairs is one of a kind, made especially for a colleague and also art professional of Mr. McMakin in the mid 1990s. The chairs not only make a bold, pop art type of statement, but are very comfortable and cozy; the type of chair that you can curl up in and let your legs hang off the side. They are made of merino wool and stained maple. The fabric is in fabulous condition and the legs are sturdy with a few scuffs that can easily be re-stained. P.S. This pair is together forever; no break-ups, only sold as a pair.

Fun Fact: A similar McMakin chair resides in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Los Angeles (MOCA).
