. . . i recently posted a few pics of the frances elkins inspired steel outdoor chair ( click here ). 

i wanted to show the original indoor/interior version.  her inspiration came from a dutch chair design from the 18th century - amazing that this chair design is still very versatile & modern.   a true classic!
