Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman- Super comfortable and iconic. It adds a little masculine feel to any space, so of course I like to balance it out with a delicate side table (like shown above).
Typically Shown in black or white leather, Personally I'd like to upholster one in olive green velvet. Let's not forget my fave: a Missoni-upholstered version from Gossip Girl.

Louis Ghost Chair. Newer onto the chair scene, this see-thru wonder is already a classic in my book. I love that it is so versatile- looks great around a table, or as an accents in the living room, bedroom, office, even bath. Great for small spaces where you don't want to feel crowded with furniture. -Thirteen and South Blog
(P.S. I think this is a unique chair that will blend in any home due to the nod to the classic style yet funky because it's a clear chair- lucite is just FUN! I do think this fun concept has an expiration date in the near future... HOWEVER I like it for now!!!)

Faux Bamboo Chippendale Chair. Whether its the Jonathan Adler variety, or the real-deal vintage version, these chairs are everywhere. Why are they so popular? For me, I like that they are little-bit classic and a little bit modern. The cushion provides comfort, the back provides a neat geometric shape and the color options are endless! Great around a table or by a desk. -Thirteen and South Blog
(P.S. I AGREE! The geometric shape is masculine and the colors are fresh and current.)

Arne Jacobsen- This chair is simple, clean, yet fun. By far the most accesible. Affordable look-a-likes available everywhere (West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Room and Board...)

Bertoia side chair designed by Harry Bertoia, 1952. Innovative, comfortable and strikingly handsome, the chair's delicate appearance belies its strength and durability. In Bertoia's own words, "If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them." A classic, modern design that enhances any environment
