This Chair Collection Revels in Understated Beauty

“I think beauty is underrated these days,” muses Amsterdam-based designer Carole Baijings. Her first collection for Geiger, Lijn, encompassing a side chair, armchair, and stool, revels in that quality of loveliness. Lijn means “line” in Dutch, drawing attention to the timber form’s shapely balance of straight and curved profiles, which can be dressed up in textiles, leathers, and even belted quilts. Baijings is known as a trend-setting colorist, so naturally she developed five new veneer stains for the chair: Sunshadow, Fawn, Nordic Blue, Red Clay, and Ivy. (There’s also a natural beech version.) “Color is my truest passion,” she notes, “so creating new wood hues came naturally. It allows for the design of different atmospheres: light and airy, modern, or warm and moody, but always sophisticated.” Find the collection at Geiger DatesWeiser and MillerKnoll dealers starting this fall.
