apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

• Best Retro Modern Chaise: La Chaise by Charles and Ray Eames (1948 - shown above the jump). This seating choice won by gathering nearly three times as many votes as Bertoia's Asymmetric Lounge - 73 to 24.

A strong write-in candidate appeared in the comments and garnered lots of support: Le Courbusier's Chaise.

• Best Retro Modern Dining Table: A complete LANDSLIDE in favor of Eero Saarinen's 1956 Tulip Table! The votes were 123 to 16, making an easy defeat over Poul Kjaerholm's 1963 table.

• Best Retro Modern Dining Chair: Ooooh - a close race! The Wishbone by Hans Wegner (1950) just eeked out a victory over the Cantilever by Verner Panton (1967) with a score of 59 to 52.

The comments section brought up several worthy write-in candidates, the Eames DCW, and Eiffel Molded Chairs, the Saarinen tulip chair and Jacobsen's Series 7.

• Best Retro Modern Cocktail Table: Isamu Noguchi (1948) handily beat Warren Platner (1966) for the win with 104 to 53. The commenters pointed out a love for the Platner in bronze...perhaps if that had been the photo the results would have been different...

• Best Retro Modern Lounge Chair: The Womb Chair by Eero Saarinen (1948) prevails! It received 118 votes, while its competition, the Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen (1958) received 51.

The very strong write-in candidate from the comment thread? Not surprisingly, the Eames Lounge and Ottoman.

• Best Retro Modern Bench: George beat Florence - 97 to 79!

The comment thread brought up a write-in candidate that we really like...Harry Bertoia's Bench from 1952.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the elections!
