It’s being sold by some mad person. It’ll only cost you between 2 and 3 million dollars. The down side it only has one bedroom. It is however exceptionally beautiful.

School Chaise - based on an old school chair

In the category of designs that make you smile. Can’t really think of what i’d do with it though, other than just put it next to my desk and enjoy watching people wonder how to sit on it.

Vagga cradle

Lindvall has gone back to the classic Scandinavian designs of the mid-century era for inspiration, offering a hand-crafted rocking cradle in sold walnut, using the grain of the wood to create a ‘marbled’ finish on the exterior.

The first chair

I was talking about chairs today (as one often does) and the question of who invented the chair came up. An interesting question I thought, because it’s one of those things that these days is so banal that it’s hard to imagine it ever having been invented.
We could alway sit, but there must have been [...]

How to be creative

Ever wondered how to be creative. I have to say that I do with every new brief. I’m a bit scared that like some sort of ancient martial art myth that finding the knowledge will kill the ability. Ho Hum.
This guy knows. But it appears he’s retained the ability.

Social shopping again

I’ve looked into this a little more and there are quite a few interesting sites that are worth a squizz at. They are all from the enabler camp rather than online retail businesses in their own right but provide interesting features nevertheless.
I’m just going to chuck in the urls though as I’m quite lazy and [...]

Gordon Bennett!

As predicted I lost interest in my own cool wall in only 1 week. I remembered it in the shower this morning while thinking how much I enjoyed being really pissed up by 7 o’clock on friday. By 10 o’clock I’d already lost my voice on the karaoke stage. It was a good night, but it [...]

Ok, ja, today is the first Cool Wall I’m going to do. The first of many - if I can avoid losing interest really quickly and just writing random shit or nothing at all, the clock ticking away as I stare at the TV with my mouth hanging open and a small dribble on the corner of my [...]

Woo hoo, I got a chair for Christmas. I know you don’t care - I think you should be jealous but you’re not are you. My lovely new chair is not an old classic that you’ll recognise but it is from the company that still lives and breathes the thinking of one of the greatest designers/architects [...]

Rebirth of the wingback

It wasn’t long ago that the idea of a wingback type chair would have been far too olde worlde to be considered in anyway cool. I don’t if it’s because of my recent decampmant to the countryside or my advancing years, but recently there’s been a few zooper-kool examples surfacing around the place.

Viral news - I was right! Partly.

Having posted a few days ago about viral stuff and then read it back along with the comments, it was screamingly apparent that what I wrote is littered with holes. I suppose that’s good in a way - I wouldn’t have spotted the holes if I hadn’t put the words down in the first place.

Another introduction - Say Hello to Mabel

This is Mabel. A sad old saggy bug that was the first four wheels I owned. We learned to drive together - her graunching and me smashing her into the back wall of the garage and scraping her down the side of the house.
We travelled up and down the country many times over the years. [...]

It always starts the same way

It always starts the same way. I am in the garden airing my terrapin Jetta when he walks past my gate, that mysterious man in black.
‘Hello Roy,’ I say. ‘What are you doing in Dusseldorf?’
‘Attending to certain matters,’ he replies.
‘Ah,’ I say.
He apprises Jetta’s lines with a keen eye. ‘That is a well-groomed terrapin,’ he [...]

If I had a million pounds

I was chatting the other day when the conversation turned to why on earth people who win the lottery exhibit such a lack of imagination when spending their windfall.
The conversation then turned, rather predictably I’m sorry to say, to what I would do if I won the lottery. It turned out that this is one [...]

The Goddess

Meet the Goddess. Like a real Goddess she does what she wants to do. Like a real Goddess sometimes she’s a goer and sometimes she site demurely in the driveway.

Chair 1

Nice

In my mind Lamborghini has always translated as ‘maker of the most ludicrously outrageous cars’. The fact that recently they’ve been bought by Audi, on top of a bit of a scaredy survival instinct has softened the cars into being beautiful but not the kind of thing that kicks your eyes in the balls. That’s [...]
