Before the week is out...Buy this

THIS BUTTERFLY chair might look ultra-modern, but the design has been around for 60 years. The secret is constant reincarnation and the Nineties version is the most adaptable. Buy a frame (pounds 28) and change the cover to suit your mood. Urban Outfitters has a selection for pounds 28. For a really cosy nest choose their fake fur range. If you prefer traditional, Jerry's Home Store sells exact copies of the original (pounds 60, black only). IK
