Recently, with the preparations for the new house going full blast, I've developed an infatuation on beautiful 20th Century designer chairs. I've always liked good design in everything. Applied functional design has always been something I appreciate in furniture, and lately these designs have developed names. I found a picture of most of these sexy buttcatchers. Help me out, let's identify them. This is going to be fun.
