I love the mademoiselle missoni chairs. But as dining chairs, wouldnt they be prone to stains? Cant have them reupholstered because its the fabric that makes it missoni. How would you maintain these chairs? »
fzigdon scotchgaurd is always on option...but if you want a less expensive option these chairs are reproduced, you can find them on internet. ive seen them on several, one that comes to mind is interior tradefurniture.com.
The upholstered/acrylic Mademoiselle chair: deceptively pop. If this gal, made by Kartell, were a high school student, she'd be Most Popular for sure. A favorite for modernists, the chair has the high-energy flair of the Warhol look but with an Elle DECOR-ish touch.
Tea roses and other old-fashioned floral patterns have been replaced by vibrant Missoni fabric here. The modern chairs combined with the French-flea-market looking table attains the perfect balance between old and new.
In another white space the opposite approach is taken. A wide range of color and pattern is brought in through Kartell Mademoiselle chairs, patterned pillows and a wildly colorful trio of bouquets.
Here is the Louis Ghost chair again, paired playfully with another great design: the Kartell Mademoiselle chair. Using two Ghost chairs at the end of the table vs. six Mademoiselle chairs differentiates the look, and the taller Ghost chairs add a mid-tier height. The floral throw pillow on the Ghost chairs pulls them into the overall scheme.
Pillows, cushions, and colorful accessories are fun and easy ways to brighten up an otherwise simple setup. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns, contrasting colors and styles when it comes to textiles. Fabric can be a relatively inexpensive endeavor, so have fun with it and play around!
Go bright. Throw color caution to the wind by pairing a neutral table with chairs adorned in bright and bold graphic patterns. This works especially well against this white landscape, where the bright colors have little competition.
The Missoni fabric on the Kartell Mademoiselle chairs packs a vibrant floral punch.

Once she decided to bring in color, the client (whose background is in fashion) went out and bought these Mademoiselle Chairs. "You have to be choosy with your clients" Tara says. "It's a love affair — you have to REALLY like them and it has to be the right combination. An easy connection of mutual respect filters through everything, and it makes you want to do the best job you can to make their dreams come true. Each client transforms my aesthetic and helps me to grow as a designer."
Also, with silk flowers, there is very little wastage as the left over pieces like leaves, blooms, and buds can be used again in later designs. Moreover these flowers are easy to work with and there is very little room for mistakes in this kind of flower arrangement.
I love the bright colors, clean white flooring, and large windoWs showcasing the nature outside. The clean , modern look inside is a lovely juxtaposition to the raw nature outside
If your dining experience really creates that big of a mess, perhaps a wooden chair would be more appropriate.
