Let me begin by thanking all the wonderful fathers I have known. We all celebrate your love, influence and impact you have on your children.
I really love you guys!
But....
There's this little problem of the "Man-Chair" and your inflexible desire to have one that looks like this.....
Note the attached appendage...uh....I mean, remote control.
I hardly know what to say.......
As a designer, or a woman who really tries to do a beautiful job decorating her home, we have to work "with" these!
My sweet little client will come to me and say, "I really trust you, and I want my family room to look just like the magazine pictures....I really do. There's only one little thing
(dum dum ta da dum.....)
.....My husband's recliner just HAS to stay!"
AHHHHH!!!!!!!
So we're going to leave the elephant in the room....sigh......
I've long since stopped trying to understand.
Why do they think that a chair is only comfortable if it looks like a marshmellow???
What do fashionable women of good taste do?
Even this is better.

I can live with this...maybe......
Getting better.

Personally I think a comfy chair and ottoman is a great way to go. It is big enough, comfortable enough, and can be designed to balance in the room.

I know....it's about taking a nap during the ball game!
Isn't that what beds are for....or even sofa's?
Why is it necessary to sleep in a chair?
But if you have to have a recliner, maybe something a little more modern would work.

classic Eames recliner and ottoman from Herman Miller
And althougth this chair doesn't recline, it's a beautiful shape and would be soooo easy to work into a design plan.

I'm not a heartless designer. (Anyway, I know when I've been beat!)
Here's a recliner we are customizing for a client right now.
The frame will be upholstered in chocolate leather, and the cushions will be covered in the Kravet houndstooth. Masculine, but stylish! Oh, yeah!
How do you manage the ManChair?
Help! I need your ideas!!
