Well if you are perusing the streets of NYC- the answer might be just be “I see a blue chair looking at me!”–thanks to the color-loving, design savvy crew at House Beautiful magazine.
In celebration of America’s love affair with the color Blue, the mag and some of our favorite furniture companies have teamed up to create a kind of “Where’s Waldo-meets-scavenger hunt-meets….do I dare say it: Blues Clues.”
The blue chairs were placed throughout Manhattan (one even made it across the bridge to Brooklyn) photographed and then taken away into safe hiding…but come March 1, 2010 they will magically appear back in their same spots and guess what? The ultimate game of Finders Keepers will ensue.
You heard it right. Figure out where these sky/sea hued perches are perched, bring your pick-up truck (or perhaps hail a cab) and add a bit of blue to your own abode. Happy Hunting—here are your clues:
the “Avalon Child’s Chair” from Target
Palecek’s “Manhattan Hassock” in Cobalt Blue
The Container Store’s “Polo Desk Chair”
“Village Azzuro” Blue Side Chair from Crate & Barrel
Room & Board’s American-made “Cole” chair
The La-Z-Boy “Carlyle Reclining Chair” in Blue
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams’ “Wyatt” chair in Bevan-Sky
“Eames® Molded Plastic Armchair” from Design Within Reach
Lee Industries’ 1703-01 Chair in Majestic Blue Fabric with Natural Nailhead trim
Arhaus Furniture’s “Giles” in Ocean Blue
Oh, by the way this baby is mine. And yes I do in fact know right where it is and f.y.i even if you threatened to hold your breath till you turn ‘blue’…I’m not telling!!!

I like how quirky the chairs look outside with the snow in the background. Oddly appealing, though prob chilly to sit in...
