The price is certainly right, but the drawback is a minimum purchase of four. I do like the lightness of the legs and the overall sleekness and ‘edge’…

Made in Italy

This is the cheapest I’ve seen the Loop Chair–usually it’s around $900.

Made for outdoors use but could also be used indoors in the right space.

White on White just relaunched their new site. While perusing it today, I found the WB chair for only $135 (while the original sells for around $500). Such a great deal. Mind you, it is a reproduction, but if you’re in the Ikea price range, you may try White on White.

This is a pricy chair but I currently can’t imagine anything prettier. It’s so delicate. I also really like the muted color of the upholstery.

“Fashioned in transparent polycarbonate, Starck’s modern interpretation of a baroque-inspired form with the Louis Ghost chair quickly attained icon status, prompting him to design a complementary armless version that’s ideal for dining. A daring example of single-mold injection, these classic Louis XV-style chairs are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Made by Kartell.”

This is certainly a nice option for seating, though if you live in the U.S., you might have to pay a little bit more for shipping…
