Please Be Seated

kids' bertoia chair replicas!

Need to have a sit-down with your kids?

Even the squirmiest of worms will have no problem parking it in a 1952 Bertoia child’s chair replica.

Wee modernists choose between pink or white versions of the iconic basket seat. Finished with high-quality paint, the stainless steel frame comes with a detachable leatherette back pad and cushion to keep planted posteriors comfy. Stick one in front of a desk or jazz up a rustic worktable with a set.

The chairs can be used both indoors and out and clean up easily with a damp cloth. What’s more, they’re just $75 for a pair.

So you stay out of the hot seat.


Available at Room Service, 5901 West Third Street, between South Fuller Avenue and South Poinsettia Place, West Hollywood (323-692-9221 or roomservicestore.com).
