I have started yet a new photo series, cafe chairs, benches, and stools. Besides the classic rattan cafe chairs, I spotted many new versions in unusual color combinations and updated styles. Many were shot over the summer so the brilliant sunshine illuminates the texture of the chairs. I also like the bright colored table tops.

what a fabulous new series. I do the same (and YESTERDAY evening I smiled when I thought of you and your métro chair series because I just about jumped from the train when I saw those electric green round seats under a totally green publicity - and then a series of red ones with a mostly RED poster above...) Aren't we lucky to see the little 'goodies' in our daily lives?!

Love the chair idea, and finding beauty and style in everyday things we often take for granted. Merci

Wonderful photos! I'm quite partial to the classic combination of red/cream.

I love the parisian ratan chairs what a good idea to photograph them . I'm intrigued when I see them all lined up facing out to the pavement - great for people watching.
