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"
