As much as I like most Nakashima furniture, that one piece doesn't look very comfy for sitting. Much better as a bar. Well done!

That‘s what I thought. But they are surprisingly comfy. I might end up getting one sometime in the future. I was shown some wood options

How many cords is that?

You can’t use that for firewood!!!

A well made spindle back is pretty comfortable.

Howard and Sons Bridgewater chair my current obsession but too pricey to pull the trigger on.

I don't like Chairs posted. They look to me like a kindergarten chairs. Also the design element of the front legs sticking through the seat is a terrible idea in practice, I am talking from experience.

That is a miserable seat design from the ergonomics POV: depressed cane center, rigid rims and poke-through front leg tops. It may be famous, even award-winning, but having had one in the household once, it is the chair to offer when you want the guest to leave.

Talking with my wife about our next home and how we will mix Corbusier, Navajo, Mission Oak and a pair of comfortable reading chairs. We seem to be coming back to the fact that we love all kinds of modern, period, antiques, etc., but for real comfort you kinda want a cozy recliner chair. Is there any such thing besides a Lazy Boy????

Look at Ekornes Stressless chairs: super-comfortable with a modern aesthetic.

Now you need to go and watch some of those tree-slabbing videos on Youtube where they are cutting these pieces and reveal after a slosh of water on the newly-cut board what has never been seen before.

Any of you guys have any Naga furniture? If so, how have you incorporated them into your spaces?

Any recommendations of online places to buy rugs? Thinking I want a white/cream fluffy sheepskin rug or the like to start.

Just received delivery of this 5' round table that we had designed and built by a local woodworker. The wood is Ash, so it's light in color which makes it blend in with our neutral interior and doesn't look as massive as a darker table. We wanted a style that would blend in with regional vintage furnishings made from lighter colored woods, Navajo weavings and simple, contemporary shaped, neutral upholstered furnishings (still to be delivered). I love a round table for conversation and no one is the "head".
