I remember when sitting in your grandfathers chair was considered a crime worthy of capital punishment. Oddly, the fear of getting caught was muffled by the wave of accomplishment once saddled atop the leather lazy boy. Call it a right-of-passage but everyman needs a chair marked “his.” It’s inherent, perhaps it stems from the king’s throne. For most men, it’s about comfort, but for a select few it’s all about the prestige.
Guy Manningham has discovered what we think is the all-encompassing man’s chair, the Aviator Chair – Distressed Whiskey. The only thing keeping her from being authentic; a sexy pin-up painted on the side and a nuclear fission cocktail tucked in her undercarriage.
