Twelve Chairs, Fort Point, Boston

Located near the Boston Seaport district, in the up and coming Fort Point neighborhood, is this destination shop and design studio, Twelve Chairs.  Great home furnishings and inspiration!  And if you want designer services that don't look overly designed this is a great resource:

Here are the "Twelve Chairs" -original artwork and truly 12 chairs deconstructed giving the shop its name!

If you want to see the shop and even purchase via the internet- there are "shots of the shop" on their website
