Fashion designer Vivienne Tam collaborated with Rowe to create a new collection of custom upholstery furniture.

The Reed Chair is part of Rowe's Vivienne Tam Collection.

I like the fact that this chair and the accompanying ottoman could be inviting a guy, too. A chair like this is a good compromise between someone who is averse to putting over-stuffed recliners in living rooms, and their significant others who don't want to forego comfort for fashion.

The generous proportions of this chair tell you that you can be comfortable in it whether for simply relaxing, socializing, reading or watching television.

The very bold white detailing on black gives it a modern look and a lot of visual interest. It can easily be used for emphasis in a room, or recede in the background, depending on what you choose to surround it with.
