If we asked you to close your eyes and think of one piece of furniture, you’d likely to have imagined one of three things: a sofa, a table, or a chair. That third object is an important one because it’s most likely an object we possess most of in our homes (think about it: four or six chairs around the dining table, one for the work desk, perhaps even a few stools at the bar or breakfast bench).

Yes, chairs are so ubiquitous in our households, they’ve had entire coffee table books dedicated to them, and key designers of them very much celebrated (hello Marc Newson, hello Philippe Starck). Chairs have to be sturdy, chairs have to be comfortable, and just as importantly – for the quality aesthete in you, they have to be beautiful.

In the area of dining chairs, few showrooms offer a variety as immense and collection as appealing as Interior Secrets, whose website and showroom will have you pondering an array of fine designs.
