Why ChairWhore
My design addiction developed from a lifelong vintage habit. ChairWhore is the outcome of that collection. Relying on my background in Architecture and Exhibition Design, I select by instinct each unusual, classic, sexy, or colorfully inspiring object I just can't live without. This site is meant as an open invitation to that passion, which happens to include an excess of chairs. The website only touches the surface. I encourage you to reach out, follow, and get in touch to set up an appointment to view more.
​
As for the name, it's meant to be tongue in cheek, so to speak. Whore evokes both the inevitable commercial structure while playfully inverting taboo. Also, I prefer to challenge the narrow confines of "tasteful," embracing a lustful attraction to beautiful objects.​ Etymologically, whore has a Germanic root meaning "to like, or desire” while from Latin the source was “dear, beloved, expensive, and affection." So, don't be afraid to say it.
