Bati Mon Nid by Shag (Josh Agle)

Bâti Mon Nid (Built My Nest), a song by French singer-songwriter Françoise Hardy. Françoise appears in the painting, sitting nude in a 1956 Eames Lounge (670) Chair (a chair she owned in the 1960s), playing the guitar for her white cat who sits on an Eames Ottoman (671). A photograph on the sideboard shows the American designers of the chair, Charles and Ray Eames. The lady in Conquest of the Mountain sits on a Tulip/Pedestal Chair, designed in 1956 by Finnish American Eero Saarinen, eating her Kellogg’s Honey Corn. In Dansk Mobelkunst, the lady speaking on the telephone has her feet resting on a 1951 Hans Jørgensen Wegner Papa Bear Chair. Hans Wegner was a Danish furniture designer and this was his first chair with Danish joinery workshop PP Møbler.
