Faust, I have been looking for an armchair for ages, and it has been difficult. Many of the better examples are priced like sofas, which is unfortunate. A store in Toronto, Kiosk, carries quite a few interesting brands, and their website, kioskdesign.ca, has a huge list of armchairs with photos.
Fuck... Just missed out on a PK22 in a sweet brown hue with lots of patina for a great price just cause I don't have a god damn car or a friend who could lend me his.
I probably will beat myself to death thinking that I should've taken a buss and hassle around with a chair with all the other passangers and a stressed out chauffeur.

I would have carried it home.

a couple of beautiful armchairs by michael yeung for HALO, albeit not your conventional kind... but they ARE super comfortable and sleek at the same time...
their esquire line has one of the most comfortable armchairs i've ever sat in, called the commodore (www.esquirehomecollection.com). it's a beautiful 2-material very classic looking chair with a modern twist (i hate to describe things like this but essentially this is what it is):
there's a black leather + charcoal grey wool version i like better.
(btw, a large portion of restoration hardware's stuff come from halo)
... and of course, the armchair of all armchairs -
they started out by copying the likes of b&b italia and flexform (down to the nut and bolt) and over the years have perfected their craft and are now embarking on original designs. i heard, they are so good that, rather then suing them for copyright infringement etc, b&b italia instead approached them to do oem...
small (3.5k for a couch, 2 for a chair). no fucking clue! :-)
I don't know whether to keep contemporary, or go back in time. definitely no danish mid-century or eames or modernist classics or any of that. I want earthy colors - grays, aubergine, etc...
I found this louis IX repro at ABC and I like them. I like the idea that it's a stripped down repro and not something that's trying to copy the real thing.

who? camerich or halo? camerich has 2 showrooms in the states - seattle and las vegas (check their site)... halo i'm sure they have reps in the states, they're actually a british company.
^ that Edra sofa is beautiful. Their offerings are ridiculously priced at retail, so it's pretty much the only time I would ever think of buying anything from them.
Faust - that sofa is so completely opposite to what I thought you were going to like that I'm pretty much at a loss as to suggestions.

/\ Haha, don't worry. I don't know myself. I usually gravitate towards contemporary stuff like B&B, Cassina, Zanotta, Ligne Roset, etc., but now I am starting to feel like maybe they are a bit too cold (and fucking expensive) and I am starting to gravitate more towards the wabi-sabi spirit. I think I want something with gray linen slipcovers or something like that.
