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!

Julia, We usually only comment on posts about houses, but those prints are cute! Just checked out Sophie’s site and saw a lot of cute (and affordable!) stuff. –CDHQ

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….

I like these better. I have been coveting one for over a year.

Thanks for you comment Julia. Will be poking around your bog today for some much needed eye candy.

Very fun idea! I really do need to be careful about buying more art (see latest post!), but I love the concept of these.

18 Tracy @ Comfort&Luxury February 24, 2010 at 3:38 pm

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”.

19 Angie @ Seriously... A Homemaker! February 24, 2010 at 3:38 pm

I thought you meant that literally… and i thought, what a good idea! what chair can i screw into the wall???

A picture works too… I guess.

Better actually…

Dang

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.

They’re a great find! I like the Eames chair best!

WOW! I just happened upon your wonderful blog and found this post! I’m the illustrator who makes the Modern Design Deck prints…. and I can’t say enough how nice it was to read such a lovely post and all the incredibly nice comments. Your generosity really made my night.

Thank you!

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