Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

Yeah! I bet you can't even ******* hear those things.

Lol.

Still not complete but approaching it. Finishing the doors and applying tracks next. This is a very complete image of what I was planning, but I haven't convinced myself I'm totally happy with it. It could go the way of most things I build for myself, I'm initially disappointed with them, and later they grow on me once I've stopped concerning myself with the details.

 

[sugarbutch]

What's disappointing you at the moment?

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

I can't put my finger on it, so I'm probably just being neurotic.

The vertical pieces are too wide - it's making the whole unit look clunky

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

I shouldn't have said anything, because I don't want any suggestions. Just mentioning it because the process in is not one of self satisfaction all way through for me.

Be still. My heart.


Saw this today. Probber sectional in Jack Lenor Larsen tie-dyed fabric. If it wasn't so goddamned stupidly priced I'd be relaxing (if that possible) on it right now.

A giant flokati is mandatory with that bad boy. I think I would prefer a probber in bottle green crushed velvet (if that is possible).

I assume its in the same price range as this one, which isn't bad for a sofa.

Yes, it would force my wife to reconsider a flokati.

I wonder if that's the same one. Asking is 19K, which is stupid for that sofa, but it is at Wyeth.

Larsen made some fun fabrics for Probber.

I'm not sure I could live with that much visual interest in my living room.

19k, I would get a Erik Jørgensen Delphi, Lena mystique or a RocheBbobois Mah Jong instead for that kind of money.

My wife keeps pointing out the Mah Jong and I keep saying no. While it is a hot ****** mess there's something about the Probber that is coherent to my space and personality. The Mah Jong, not so much and I think it requires a vast space to work well.

Stupidly, I turned down a very groovy '70s vintage RB modular set last month that was great.

The Delphi is very nice, though it doesn't look that comfortable.

The mah jong is awful. Really top ten fugliest furniture designs ever.
