ELIZABETH YOUNG Elizabeth Young Design T here are many chairs I would love to be! But after much thought, I've decided the winner is Claude Lalanne's Crocodile chair. The idea of being one of the most resilient creatures on Earth in the form of a chair is pretty great. I would be admired for my strength, power, and survival in the most elegant, beautiful form. And I would only get better with age. Klismos chair RUSSELL WINDHAM Curtis & Windham Architects I would want to be a Klismos chair. Did not even have to think for a minute. Klismos chairs are simultaneously strong and elegant in their most basic appearance and function. On top of that, they're easily dressed up with fanciful cushions and trimmings, if desired. MARIE FLANIGAN Marie Flanigan Interiors I would undoubtedly be a Klismos chair. Its timeless silhouette, with graceful, curved lines and clean proportions, strikes the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The Klismos honors its classical origins with an appreciation for history and craftsmanship, yet its contemporary iterations — crafted in natural woods, metals, or modern textured fabrics — make it versatile enough to blend seamlessly into any space. KARA CHILDRESS Kara Childress Interiors I would become a John Saladino Harley chair, because it offers the perfect balance of comfort and style. The leather is as soft as butter, providing ultimate relaxation while making a bold, beautiful statement. 39
