Probably no other piece has stood the test of time more than Billy Baldwin's classic and iconic Slipper Chair. He was said to have designed it according to Mitchell Owen's article in the New York Times , for Pauline de Rothschild's 5' 9" lanky frame in mind thus making it easier for her to strike a pose and extend her long legs, and it also happens to be a a chair that men feel comfortable sitting in - which is not a small feat.
