Ok you will need to take a deep breath. Because this is possibly the single MOST exciting giveaway that has ever graced the pages of The Design Files... Mandy Paton who has the fabulous Amor Y Locura shop in Fitzroy (and whose house you have seen here!), has VERY generously offered one of her stunning new Acapulco chairs (valued at $440.00 +gst) for a Design Files giveaway! O.M.G.
You may have seen these chairs very recently in publications including Elle Decoration UK, Living etc and also Inside Out magazine... they sure are popular! This iconic 1950's Mexican chair is back in production, and is truly the most fabulous piece of outdoor furniture to be seen lounging on this summer!
The winner will receive a stunning turquoise chair (pictured below), and may select from the Acapulco or La Perla shape (La Perla has a slightly more upright seating position). Please note that the lucky winner must either collect their gorgeous chair from Mandy's Fitzroy store OR arrange shipping if you are far away. (This prize does not cover shipping).
Because this is such a special giveaway, you have TWO WEEKS to enter! Just leave a comment here sometime before October 22nd, and you will be in the running! The winner will be selected at random from all comments on this post.
