Apologies for the small picture, its the grey chair in the left of the shot, it has a matching footstool also

I read that Gwynne designed some of the furniture in The Homewood but i'm not sure if this is one of the pieces

I think you might like Arne Norell's designs too ..

Hey Pete,
Yup the Ari is one of my faves too :o)
But I would not buy any of these chairs without sitting in them first.. I got a chance to sit in the new Cor model a few months back (I thought it was a striking model), and I found it surprisingly uncomfortable. The seat angle was all wrong, and those bumpy seat rolls did not help matters either. whenever I see that chair now, I can't help it, but I am influenced by the previous bad seating experience.
I hope that the other chairs are more lounge friendly (haven' t sat in any of them yet). Perhaps the Ari would be more comfortable, due to the absence of large rolls ? Anyway, I would not commit to buy unless you have actually sat in them.
Unless you are not going to use them intensively of course.. ;o)

Just got one of these, labelled on one foot William Plunkett. The chair has a really bad upholstery job, so that will need to be done. The original fabric is still underneath, an oatmeal wool. However it is ripped and badly worn. Never saw one of these before so glad to own it!
