Century Finds-Bertoia Chair print

Check out these cool contemporary chair prints from Century Finds. Aren’t they fun?

Century Finds-Eames Rocker print

If you can’t choose just one print, how about a poster featuring all of the illustrations from Jen Renninger’s Modern Design Deck?

Century Finds-moderndesigndeck posterCentury Finds is a great online resource for contemporary design and vintage decor, and I’m proud to have them as one of my blog’s sponsors.

Sophie, the owner, says, “My love of vintage items started as a child in the ’70s, uncovering discarded housewares in chests and closets all around our home. Later, I spent many happy hours in the flea markets of Paris and London. I started Century Finds as a way to share some of those unique little found items which can ‘make’ a room.”

Visit Century Finds to see what else is in Sophie’s shop this week!

I had to come over and read this post based on the title. I was really curious! These prints are MUCH cuter than a real chair hanging on the wall. Ha!

Yes, sometimes a girl just can’t get enough furniture so we hang more on the wall :0
One of my favorite paintings in my home is a chalk oil of a patterned chair.
Nice post. Fun idea.

I love it! I’m thinking about homeschooling my kids…would it be awful if I taught my kindergartener the ABC’s according to that poster? E says “E” as in Eames….funny. I’d probably raise an interior designer.

These are cool. I love the feel of them.

Inhabit also makes some fun mid-century chair prints for your wall — along with coordinating pillows. I wrote about them here: http://www.thedesignfile.net/thedesignfile/2009/07/spotlight-inhabits-new-modern-classics-line.html.

Very fun.

These are so cool! I imagine incorporating them into a kid’s room – hoping they will pick up on my love for design while also learning the alphabet! They’d look great in an office as well.

Very cute prints… but I tend to hang REAL chairs on my wall!
Art can be so much more than two-dimensional. {And chairs hung on the wall offer ’shelf space’, too!} Works great in retail stores for display….

Oh no. Chairs + primary colors + cool graphics… I have to investigate this further! And possibly make room on a wall! Thanks for this, Julia. It’s very much “me”.

I don’t think I would want any of these hanging up in my house. I could see, however, one of these pictures hanging up in small town store.

Those prints are adorable! I love the red Eames rocking chair. Although, the real Eames chair would be nice too.
