Why ChairWhore
Unabashedly addicted to design, ChairWhore is where I share my collection, and excitement, for select vintage treasures for the enjoyment of others. The name is meant to evoke the commercial aspect of shop, while reclaiming the space for the reversal of taboo. Breaking the confines of design, and playfully accepting my own closeted desire for more.
The etymology of Whore is a Germanic root meaning "to like, desire” and from Latin “dear, beloved, expensive, love, affection, high price."
Relying on my background in Architecture and Exhibition Design, and a lifelong vintage habit, I select by instinct, focusing on whatever unusual, boisterous, classic, sexy, colorful, or inspiring object I come across that I just can't live without. This site is meant to give access to that passion, as well as an excess of chairs.
