Of all the chairs I saw and considered, there were very few that I’d actually sit with in my own home. India Mahdavi’s creation for Gebrüder Thonet won me over at first blush. Mahdavi’s use of color is noteworthy, as seen in the Pepto-y pink of London restaurant Sketch in 2018, and her eye for interiors that are welcoming, lived-in, and above all, interesting, is unmatched.
