This past weekend we caught the closing day of the Getty's expansive video art exhibition, California Video, which included a piece by a favourite artist of mine, John Baldessari. In a video piece titled Ed Henderson Suggests Sound Tracks for Photographs, Baldessari asked his student to blindly select a musical accompaniment for photographs. We thought it might be fun to do something similar on a weekly basis, but with furniture designs or interior space as the subject in question...
Taking a quick glance at the design above, tell us what you believe would be the best song that represents the design shown above (song name or link to streaming/downloadable song). I'll start things off with my choice:
Autumn in Connecticut - by Elmer Bernstein: there's a somber sophistication of this chair that reminds me of the Douglas Sirk inspired film, Far From Heaven...like beautifully tailored sorrow.

not for me thanks.
Completely ME, thanks Gregory!
This chair reminds me of the film "the taylor of panama". On the surface from afar it looks clean, complex, and hard but when you get close you see its really just a rebel looking to get into trouble. Thats my opinion anyways..
