Last week a very nice bloke showed up at my door with a van full of very cool chairs. He'd been asked to stop by by a friend of mine who thought I'd really like his stuff, and yep, I have to say that friend is totally on the ball. The bloke in question is Paul of Innit Design, who has just started to import the Acapulco Chair into Canada from Mexico. Originally designed by a French tourist in the 1940's - so the story goes - since then it has managed to find a spot in both chilled out beach resorts and the chic neighbourhoods of Mexico City. And, apart from being really rather swish, I'm happy to report that the chair is eminently comfortable, looks brill both indoors and out, and is even available in a super fun kid-sized version.
Tune into CityLine on Citytv this coming Monday to see the chairs in an ultra-colourful vignette I pulled together. Or, if you fancy giving one a try, pop into Hollace Cluny, Urban Mode and Ella & Elliot (for the kid's version). You can also click here to see Innit's full list of stores.
