Cristian Zuzunaga PIXELATED.
I love this fabric. I especially love this fabric on these Ligne Roset Sala dining chairs. I’m trying to hunt down a stockist who still carries it. Can anyone help me?! Life and death, people, life and death.

Deep Thought of the Day
Frasier: So what do you think of what I’ve done with the place, you know, every item here was carefully selected. The lamp by Corbu, this chair by Eames, and this couch is an exact replica of the one Coco Chanel had in her Paris atelier.
Martin: Nothing matches.
Frasier: Well, it’s a style of decorating – it’s called eclectic. The theory behind it is, if you have really fine pieces of furniture, it doesn’t matter if they match – they will go together.
Martin: It’s your money.
