THE ODEON SIDE CHAIR BY DUANE MODERN
Platt admires this take on a 1940s Moderne-style chair. "It's a contemporary nod to an iconic design -- and I like this version in glossy patent leather," he says. He also favors the "deep, enveloping back that makes you want to sit and stay a while" and pictures it in a den or a club room. Height: 37"; width: 21.5"; depth: 21"; seat height: 18"; material: dark-stained poplar with Dacron-wrapped-foam fill (custom finishes available); delivery: 10-12 weeks; price: $2,000 c.o.m.
