In the December 2014 issue of ELLE Decor, the magazine tapped the expertise of designers John Douglas Eason and SUITE NY favorite Kelly Behun for their Truth in Decorating edit on occasional chairs. Behun gives the insider scoop on what makes for a great occasional chair as well as shares her and John’s top picks for this household staple. On the list is Mel Smilow’s Woven Rush Chair. Breezy chic nestled in a beach bungalow or city slick in a metropolitan loft, the Woven Rush Chair is an iconic piece that is as timeless as it is versatile. ELLE Decor even posted a video with designers where they take a closer look. Watch it here.
