We first discovered the magnificent Birds of Paradise when watching David Attenborough’s wonderful Life of Birds series. While it’s hard for us to call any one bird our favorite, these exotic creatures are probably the ones we love the most. And how can you not? They are living works of art every one. So suffice to say, ever since we saw (via Wired.com) Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s efforts to photograph and document the entire species, we haven’t been able to stop watching the videos since. And don’t ask us to pick a favorite. That IS impossible.

We’ve been on the hunt for some leather side chairs for a client recently on one of our favorite websites to source pieces from, 1st Dibs, and there are so many great ones we had to share. We never cease to be amazed at the wonderful range of shapes and styles there are out there to chose from–there truly is something perfect for any aesthetic or direction you’d want to go. Here are some of our favorites.
