Oh my. I’m swooning over your apartment. Those floors! Glorious.

A few questions for context:

Budget range?

Number of chairs desired?

What are your favorite styles, besides modern? I’m wondering if you’d want to do a mix of classical and modern.

Have you gone to any Paris flea markets? I would. :)

If you haven’t already, you might want to browse Chairish and First Dibs for local things … even if just for ideas and inspiration.

Re: curtains — I’d wait until a few other elements are decided upon, unless you find some you love and want to work around. Your rods look fine, do you want to stay with white curtains?

Of the chairs you posted, I adore the Cesca ones (stupidly sold mine 30 yrs ago). But I’d put a spin on them with color. Not necessarily blue or rust, just showing as examples:

I like these boucle and metal chairs, but feel boucle has become a bit overdone in some styles:

Your last chair, to me, looks possibly uncomfortable, but is interesting:

ETA: And mixing a couple of styles of chairs could look pretty fab and more unique. Just one example:

These two are from Craft Associates: https://craftassociatesfurniture.com/collections/modern-dining-chairs-and-bar-stools

This is from Forom (I’m not familiar with this company, but Cescas are easy enough to find at other places, you could surely find them in Paris): https://www.foromshop.com/products/breuer-leather-side-chair?variant=43151499952259

These chairs are so wonderfully sculptural, and the seller is in Paris. A different take on boucle:

And here are Chairish sellers in Europe.

These are lovely, maybe more traditional than you’d like … but I think they could look fantastic mixed with modern and contemporary styles:

Thank you! This is all so helpful!

Budget range? ideally no more than 300 euro per chair

Number of chairs desired? 6-8 (depends on size!)

What are your favorite styles, besides modern? i like very creative scandi, minimalism, bauhaus, contempory

Great styles! I came across some amazing vintage Bauhaus, but they were $$$$$.

I posted some pricey chairs, but more for ideas than the actual products.

Paris has such wonderful places to shop, I’d just start going in person to see and sit. I think you could find new or vintage Cesca chairs for a reasonable price. You could buy 4-6 of those for the sides, with different chairs for the ends, if you’d like a more eclectic look. So many possibilities!

I meant to ask, too … is the dining room open to the living room and/or other rooms? Do you have furniture in other rooms yet?
