This morning I informed my fiancee of my longing for a couple of Modernica fiberglass side chairs with Eiffel tower bases for our new dining table. "How much are they?" he asked. When I told him "$239," bracing myself for vehement opposition to even dreaming of dining chairs that cost that much, he replied, "Wow, not bad!" I was shocked.

I'm hoping the Eames-inspired side chairs (the ones that get to call themselves "Eames" are the newer molded plastic, not fiberglass, and sold at DWR — even though Modernica is the original manufacturer) will keep the vibe light around our very solid, parsons-style wood dining table.
There's so much heavy, brown wood in our apartment, and anything plastic or metal just pops. Or, in this case, metal and plastic.
At Velocity.
