Taking lessons from a chair

The alarm went off at 5:44am this morning. Pissed because I could have sworn I set it for 5:30am (or maybe I did and just didn't hear it because my body's been screaming sleep more!) I jumped out of bed and immediately grabbed a toothbrush.  I hate being late for yoga! It so stresses me out when I am...ironic?  Maybe...but I know I'm not alone in this. We rush from activity to activity from errand to errand from task to task and often forget that sometimes we just need to slow down, relax, unwind and take a little time from our daily list of to-dos to just knit a chair. That's why I love these Wooly & Stitch chairs, created by Susanne Westphal.  She asks the question, " Why do we have less time than ever before, although we've invented time saving tips?"  Each chair is unfinished and meant to be finished by the user. Using wool, the user stitches to finish and upholster the chairs.  Individual to each user's impressions of life & individuality, the more time the user spends finishing the chair the more beautiful and comfortable they are.

Although, we don't carry these chairs in our showroom, I believe in the lesson they teach and the importance of reflection.
