Today our founder Taylor Sterling is sharing the story of her hunt for a piece to anchor her family’s living space. Thanks to Rove Concepts, she has a luxurious new chair to cherish!
“Choosing the right furniture for your home is no easy feat! My husband and I spent countless hours searching for the ultimate lounge chair. I wanted something sleek yet classic; he wanted something comfortable and masculine. When I was growing up, my father had an iconic Eames lounge chair in black. It was just so cool and stylish. I’d always dreamed of having it refurbished to its original glory—it’s seen some wear and tear over the years—so I felt defeated when I realized that process would prove too costly. We were delighted when Rove Concepts offered to provide us with the Rove Concepts Lounge Chair and Ottoman. Rove Concepts offers mid-century modern replica designs that are more affordable—talk about the perfect solution!”
“We went for an iconic combination: Sienna Black leather with the Rosewood Palisander veneer. This pairing is so chic and traditional (just like my dad’s chair!). At first I was afraid that the black might look too harsh in our mostly feminine adobe, but it actually brings a stylish richness to our living room. It’s simple—almost unassuming—in its appearance, yet it really makes an elegant impact.”
“The leather is so soft and supple. (I can’t get my husband off of it. Seriously. I want a turn!) But the wood is probably my favorite part—it gives the chair a warm appearance that works really well with the rest of our furniture.”
“The chair truly speaks for itself, so we keep the styling pretty minimal. Sometimes we’ll add a blanket to cozy up with or a small throw pillow. To avoid damage from our little ones (a baby and dog), I often stretch a long faux fur throw across it—stylish and functional!”

I love that “Sparkle” photo. Does anyone know where it’s from?
Hi Lauren, thank you. It’s by Gray Malin.
We purchased my husband’s lounge chair from Rove Concepts. We could not be happier or more thrilled with it. We also went with the black leather and the Rosewood Palisander. It is absolutely beautiful. Its been 2 years and the leather has only gotten softer and more beautiful over time. Glad to see another happy Rove Concepts customer.
This is my definition of the ultimate lounge chair too – your home is looking beautiful, Taylor! :) Xo, Alison

I bought my boyfriend the brown (Selvaggio Rum Vintage leather) and he loves it. The quality is great. The Eames that it is a replica of was modeled to simulate sitting in a baseball glove and it does! A really nice mid-century touch. I love the black here too!
Shameless knock-off! Sad to see Glitter Guide supporting inauthentic copies of a classic design.
