Rebecca Christy is a designer at Interprise in Addison, Texas. Rebecca’s design submission in Coalesse’s Carl Hansen & Son Blank Canvas Contest was the winner of our popular vote on Instagram. For her prize, Rebecca received four Carl Hansen & Son CH88 Chairs. In this blog post, Rebecca shares her experience receiving and placing the chairs in her home.
Rebecca’s winning design
First of all, I want to thank the judges and everybody who “liked” my design on Instagram. It was a very exciting and close race!
When I found out that I won the CH88 chairs, I couldn’t believe it; I was in pure disbelief. I just thought to myself, “What are the odds that I would actually win something this amazing?”
Coalesse contacted me soon after the contest ended so I could order my chairs, and let me know when I could expect them. I was like a kid in a candy store when I was picking finishes! I knew I was going to have these chairs for the rest of my life, so I chose the timeless oak with the stainless steel legs and the smoked oak in the black powder-coated legs.
I patiently waited four months, and it was worth the wait! It was like Christmas when I saw those boxes with the CH88 picture on the side. I had them delivered to the office because everyone was excited to see them, and pictures don’t do them justice.
Opening them was definitely a workout because they were so well packaged. I had to get a little bit of help getting them out of the boxes. Not a dent or scratch on them; they were perfect and as beautiful as they looked on the website and in brochures.
Once I got them to my apartment, I had to figure out where to put them.
They ended up making wonderful extra seating in my living room and bedroom. Of course, I put them by the windows for the natural light. It makes a nice reading spot, and the curve of the back props up my arms when I’m holding a book. Just add a pillow to the seat for extended reading.
Most of my current furniture is temporary, but these CH88 chairs are here to stay.
