When my partner and I moved in together, I only had one rule: she had to get rid of her netted, ergonomic desk chair. While I understand the need for back support, my background in design writing won out. I couldn't stomach the thought of having a piece of furniture that so extremely favored function over form in our beautiful city apartment.
As I scoured the internet for a more stylish alternative, I became even more disillusioned by the desk chair options. Anything comfortable enough to offer 8 hours of lumbar support had the chicness quotient of the average teenage boy's bedroom, while anything design-led was basically a glorified dining chair. That's why I was elated when I finally came across Kelly Clarkson's Louise Velvet Modern Task Chair.
