The state of repose can be one of two things: elegant or inelegant. In a world in which we push ourselves to blur the line between work and “real life,” bringing our chores into the office and likewise dragging professional assignments back home onto the couch with us at the end of each day, it’s all too easy to slide comfortably into a hunched-over position in which we seem to have given up all hope of decent posture.
Just for kicks, we’ve rounded up a quintet of artful chairs that almost inherently make their upright inhabitants look rather sophisticated as well. From the sleek and simple lines of the Panton side chair and Modern Bamboo Spring chair to the cozy luxury of the Peanut chair from Zelfo Australia, one could coin a phrase from a nearly-forgotten pop song and say these five pieces are doing their part to “bring sexy back” to the moment of physical pause.

The coat hanger chair is kind of fun.
I love the hanging chair, its perfect for draping coats. But i wonder if my clothes would ever get to the closer with these lovely chairs.
Who needs a coat rack with that chair
