“A chair is still a chair even though nothing is sitting there even when there's no one sitting there.” Do you remember the title of the song that has these particular lyrics? If you are a baby boomer, I surmise that you know the title of the song. For the millennials, I would like to share with you the title which is “ A House is Not a Home” by Luther Vandross. It was also popularized by Dionne Warwick in 1964, for everyone’s information.

An accent chair is one similar to the description of the chair in the song. An accent chair will always be the point of emphasis and accent from an array of different kinds of a chair in a living room. The accent chair has its own aesthetic quality that always seems to dominate and reign over other pieces of furniture. On the other hand, it also has this inherent characteristic of complementing other furniture while it enhances the beauty of any setting where it is placed.

That is the natural beauty of an accent chair, to delight us with its unique beauty as it also conforms to the overall design and decor of the area or setting where it is more oblivious and visible.

Accent chairs became more significant in the 20th century with various intricately and aesthetically designed accent chairs introduced in 1923. Some of the most popular chairs are:

• Eames Lounge & Ottoman - was designed by the husband and wife team, Charles and Ray Eames in 1956. The chair is visible everywhere from mid-century modern homes to contemporary boutique hotels. This accent chair is a product of Herman Miller, Inc. which became dominant among other designs since its birth in 1923. It is "sleek with sexy curves" made of "molded wood encasement and supple leather that was totally hand-assembled." (https://www.summitdaily.com/).
