Pierre Yovanovitch: Goldilocks and the Three Bears inspired furniture
If you've just received the keys for your new luxury property in Spain we're sure you'll want to apply some personal touches to embellish your new home.
But choosing the right furniture to complement your new Mediterranean pad can be a ponderous exercise, requiring a balance between style and practicality.
Thankfully, one of France´s most innovative interior designers has combined the sheer lovability of the humble teddy bear with the practicality required of today´s modern seating.
The Parisian designer Pierre Yovanovitch honed his craft with the eponemous men's fashion house Pierre Cardin.
With nearly 30 years experience in couture, Yovanovitch first turned his attention to interior design in 2006 producing furniture celebrating the classic Swedish Art Déco designer Axel Einar Hjorth.
And today, Pierre Yovanovitch has produced a range of luxury lounge seating that would complement any modern living room.
Sporting padded bear-like ears, the Bear Chair collection is a set of three armchairs themed around the 19th century British fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Available in three sizes: Daddy Bear, Mummy Bear, and Baby Bear; the cuddly high-couture furniture is upholstered in loveable synthetic sheepskin.
And just like any childhood stuffed carnivoran caniform the result is simply adorable, with the added bonus of superior comfort too.
The Bear Chair collection is sure to add a touch of flair to any modern Spanish living room, and thanks to the natural form and the neutral tones, the seating will complement any contemporary furniture.
Spanish homes: furnishings and styling suggestions
Sadly, the exclusive designer chairs have also proved elusive in the wild as our attempts to track down one of these rare bears online proved fruitless.
The Invisible Collection, a furniture arthouse in London's lavish Kensington borough offers a helpful quotation service, but as the company also stocks Yovanovitch's Elephant Armchair for €5,500 we're guessing the price might prove a little difficult to swallow.
Fortunately there is a more affordable yet equally stylish alternative to be found locally, right here on the Orihuela Costa.
