Brown is so overrated. The Poet Leather Chair from Crate and Barrel ($1,200) is covered in persimmon leather, and uses its curved back legs and thin arms to keep from looking too stuffy. Its bold color goes great in rooms that have a lot of neutral colors, and the contemporary design ensures that it will look fine with some of your stainless accessories.
