the original of the emerson chair is over at the concorde museum. and in a wonderful collaboration with them last year the , museum, the trustees of the preservation and the north , bennet street school came together to reproduce the emerson chair so that visitors could sit in the chair where imris and wrote "nature" and look out over the landscape. one thing people always notice if they have seen the original and they look at this one that is reproduced, this one is green and the original chair is black. in fact, the green chair is what it would have been when emerson first sat in it at mary windsor's writing desk, in this period, but later victorians loved to paint things black so the chair was changed. so what people notice is when they sit in it, it envelopes you. you feel very held when you are writing there. this wonderful wood piece of this writing surface is actually a natural color. this is a furniture piece of adaptive use. it started out as a green chair. possibly ezra ripley, the tall gentleman, he wanted the writing surface a little hig
