Tuft Love

After hunting for the perfect Chesterfied-style sofa for my apartment for three years, and eventually settling on a non-Chesterfield style because of space restrictions (so much of the silhouette of a trad Chesterfield is used up by the massive rolled arms and backrests - not exactly NYC studio-friendly), now Jonathan Adler touts his Baxter line of furniture. Equal parts traditional tufty goodness and modernist 70s clean lines, it's the perfect melding of old school and new cool. It kinda looks like he was channeling some vintage style (shades of Milo Baughman) as he often does, but he's good at that, so yay. But I can only dream about getting yet another new sofa, because despite it's overly current MCM lineage, I love my Room & Board Jasper sofa. Still, I can look at Adler's Baxter line and lust after it, because I even tried it at the store several months ago, and can say that it's also quite comfy. Pricing varies according to fabric, as usual. Get them at jonathanadler.com.
