One of the reasons  that we’re so excited about the angelo:HOME Holiday Gift Giveaway is because Angelo Surmelis’ first furniture line (which launched earlier this year) has been wildly successful, and — despite sellouts — he and his team have pulled together 9 beautiful chairs for our winner to choose from. We’ve seen armchairs and armless chairs, patterns and solids and plenty of custom Angelo color. Ready for more? Take a look at the Grant chair in lotus green and the Hepburn in the black-and-white vine pattern.

“Go ahead, stare,” says Angelo. ”You know you want to. Believe me, I won’t blame you. I still can’t take my eyes off the Grant chair in the lotus green floral pattern with caster legs. It’s truly beautiful and it’s even better looking in person. This chair, for me, is what angelo:HOME is all about. I’m calling this line of upholstered furniture modern classics and the reason for that can be summed up in my Grant chair. Clean, modern lines, with classic, familiar styling in the details. This chair just makes me happy looking at it and it’s the perfect companion to the chocolate brown Crawford sofa. The graphic floral print and espresso stained wooden legs are just the right mix of interest that will make any room in your home instantly cheery.”

“We all relate to the familiar, yet sometimes we want to put our own stamp on it,” says Angelo. “That’s how I feel about my Hepburn chair in the black-and-white vine pattern. It was the first piece of furniture I designed for the angelo:HOME collection. The scale and the lines were incredibly important as was the “sit.” The fabric was just a big challenge for me. It had to be something classic, yet modern at the same time … while timeless in terms of color, but not boring. It needed to feel comfortable without overwhelming a room with its size. Well, after much late night coffee drinking, this was the result. Using two of them in a seating area by a window or in a bedroom could feel cozy and sophisticated without seeming cluttered. I hope you enjoy this chair as much as I did putting it together.”
