Léche-vitrines

Both J and I love learning about a city by walking around, getting a bit lost, and window shopping. While J particularly liked the wall-eyed boy, I was enchanted by these:

That's right, careful readers, these aren't just any office chairs...

Chairs such as these are the reason that I like the French phrase for window shopping, léche-vitrines, which literally translates to licking the windows. These chairs made it clear that they deserved, indeed they demanded, a double take...

The editors have no idea if any snakes or crocodiles were harmed in the manufacture of these chairs.

I'm sure there is nothing like a snake-skin office chair to let your colleagues know that you can be venomous when you so choose. Personally, I think the red crocodile skin might be a bit too fabulous for this ergonomically correct chair. In fact, these chairs are so fabulous that I began to think about what they would really like to be doing right now.

I had no idea that Swedish design could be so sassy, and I'm positively charmed!
