Why ChairWhore
I have a design addiction, and ChairWhore is the forum for that collection. With a a lifelong vintage habit, and a background in Architecture and Exhibition Design, I select by instinct. Focusing on whatever unusual, classic, sexy, or colorfully inspiring thing I just can't live without. This site is meant as an open invitation to that passion, which includes an excess of chairs.
​
Whore evokes both the commercial structure of shop while playfully inverting taboo. By breaking the narrow confines of "tasteful" design, I accept my own attraction to beautiful objects and a sometimes restrained desire for more.
​
Etymologically whore has a Germanic root meaning "to like, or desire” also from Latin “dear, beloved, expensive, and affection"
