One for rocking, one for lounging, and one for that last-minute dinner guest
PERFECT FOR READINGThe Normann Copenhagen Era rocking chair (from $2,799) recently took home a German Design Award Special Mention. We’re not surprised the sweet and simple form rocked their world. Mint Interiors, Vancouver, mintinteriors.ca; Mendel Art Gallery, Saskatoon, mendel.caPERFECT FOR EXPANSIVE DINNER PARTIESThe Belgian-made Fläpps folding chair ($550) snaps shut to measure in at less than an inch thick for stowing away with ease—though with this pretty, geometric finish, you may want to keep it on display. Resource Furniture, Vancouver and Calgary, resourcefurniture.comPERFECT FOR LOUNGING (OR SNUGGLING)We’re currently swooning over the curvy, button-tufted Retro sofa ($1,399) from the Vancouver-based Bryght, inspired by mid-century designs but outfitted in a duo of decidedly modern grey tones.
