When those photos of The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, and the Thunderbird in Marfa were making the rounds many moons ago, I never stopped obsessing about those patio chairs. The fact that I could only find ONE retailer in the whole US seemed ludicrous. Somehow, after a silly amount research, I found this Canadian import company, Innit, who was a new wholesaler of the chairs, as well as a couple of other similar designs. We e-mailed back and forth about shipping, customs etc..as I hoping I could get them wholesale…they are NOT cheap. There was a minimum purchase I couldn’t handle, so I filed it away for the lottery win.
I got an e-mail from them yesterday saying that they have secured some retailers in the US and would sell retail to the public direct. Sadly, $400 each is still a bit steep for me right now, but it was good info to share for those with the means. Lots of colors to choose from, with a choice of black or chrome bases….I REALLY want the red with the black base, but if I can’t have them…maybe you can! More info with pricing and retailers here.
