The Hard Edge
They may not look too inviting from a comfort stance, but these chairs, voguish in cafés, forever tend to catch my eye. The hardness always seems to be softened when positioned in the garden-- it's a juxtaposition that tends to render an extraordinary setting, intimate and alluring. Angelina, near the Fontana di Trevi in Rome, has fantastic flip down benches both in and outside of the bar, while the restaurant's Xavier Pauchard seats go more designerly around the white dressed tables. Trattoria de Gli Amici in Trastevere also sets a serene surrounding with the wire style iron chairs-- hard edged, yet perfect to perch.
