This armchair, circa 1940s, with its solid stance, wide back and extra thick seat cushion, exudes personality. I suspect this is where Rosie the Riveter would relax after a day of welding on bomber wings. Despite the feminine curves, Gertie is decidedly staunch, and a delicate floral would never do. A black and white quatrefoil feels appropriate, and, just like the chair, bridges between soft, rounded forms and an unreserved boldness.
