Empire Furniture:Klismos Chairs

Empire Furniture & Decorating Ideas - Klismos Chairs - Designer David Kleinberg

I always enjoy a new picture featuring klismos chairs seen in this picture designed by David Kleinberg which perfectly captivates how shapely klismos chairs are. It is also really exciting to discover another designer who decorates in period style. Kleinberg tells New York Social Diary much of his inspiration is from France- Paris to be exact- "I’m so predictable. My favorite city is Paris. It’s painfully beautiful. It’s been my favorite city since I was 14. I shelved books in a public library for two years to afford a trip when I was 16. I remember walking through the Left Bank until I could get to the river and I literally wept. I’m a total Francophile. I love how impossibly difficult they are."
