Versace’s Discontinued Vanitas Chair
April 22, 2026
When I first came across these chairs, I didn't have the money to buy them. I just figured I would one day. I pictured having either a pair of the right one sitting in my living room as accents to an overall calm design, or a pair of the left one in a large home office full of color and sitting across my desk. The one thing I didn't imagine was them not being available when I got older. I guess when you're young, you sort of think things last forever. If I had known otherwise, I would've saved harder to secure my dream before it was too late.
They have the most unique look to them. They're ornate to be sure, which isn't always a good thing, especially if you bought a full set to put around your dining table. Their details would get lost, and you wouldn't appreciate them. And that would be a shame because these chairs were meant for more than just sitting. They were made to be looked at and admired. That's why I liked the idea of them sitting across my desk-- I'd be able to look at them all the time just for enjoyment. ◡̈
P.S. When I was searching for pictures of the Vanitas, I came across the chairs below and thought, whoa, these are pretty too. And FYI: I don't know who made them or where to buy them, and I'd actually put these around a dining table.
