What about the Artemide store in Soho?

Re: Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

They don't have 'em in the Soho store, only the Nesso which is a bit big for my liking. I did however take advantage of their Tolomeo lamps promo. Buy the 2nd one for half off. Got them both in black of course. And I could have easily bought the Nesso too since they were having a promo $99 down from $300+ if you spend more than $400. The Nessino came out as sort of a special edition last year in the US market, hence I'm too late for that now. I'm also worried these stockist in Europe might have a different plug configuration. The hunt continues.

Different plug doesn't much matter, you can always buy a converter. Gotta love Tolomeos... I have an Ikea knock-off [79]</p>

I figured faust, and just found out they released the Nessino only in Europe. Makes them want them even more.

Re: Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

Mike, it looks great. Once I settle down into a place for a while I'd like to look into making some basic furniture pieces. How many hours did that take you to make?

Re: Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

<P mce_keep="true"></P>


not much, an hour to draw, another one to cut the plywood, few hours to assemble it and clean the edges. </P>


since its rectangular its pretty simple, the armchair I'm working on will probably take quite a bit longer.</P>

Something to match the concrete perhaps..^^ I've been reading stuff like this for so long now, or so it seems anyway: "This season is all about mixing fabrics" ... So be it.</P>

Re: Furniture, furnishings, and interior design



i'm always a fan of all things bauhaus. haven't yet found a knock-off of the lamp that's really worthwhile. MOMA is selling it an authentic model for just under $1000.</p>

Re: Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

really? i would imagine the market has to crawl with Bauhaus knock-offs. White on White (link in this thread) surely has some of those chair knock-offs. Or by worthwhile do you mean worth having, as opposed to a good copy?

Re: Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

yeah, i was thinking more in terms of collectibility. i believe authentic pieces are marked with an official stamp of some sort. i've seen plenty of bauhaus furniture knock-offs, but less of the lights. white on white is definitely a good starting point for this kind of thing.

Oh man... I really want to make this piece! The concrete blocks would be simple... using plywood box molds with some rebar reinforcement internally. The rebar frame would be tricky to do on a small scale. Where does one get rebar bent and cut to one's specification?</P>
