Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

both might be too traditional for my taste. I know some Wegner chairs are a bit more streamlined, will have to have a look. I guess rocking chairs are not that popular.

too bad Poul Kjaerholm never made a rocking chair, something deriving from the pk22 could've been nice.

this Panton would've made a cool rocker:

How about one of the Emeco chairs?

Are you looking for more of a lounge chair or side chair?

[lowrey]

more on the loungy side, sorry should've been more specific initially.

this is one of the few I have somewhat liked

magic if you've seen bottoms you like at IKEA you could always ask a woodshop for the top part. When I made my kitchen table I ordered the top from a firm that does interiors.

The PK table is made out of ash.

...I like the "Spun" chair...not really a rocker, per se, but still fun. The Eero Aarnio chair is super comfortable...albeit cold on the bum.

thomas pedersen stingray rocker in leather?



also, someone reassure me that sofa's with sectionals are stupid?

[lowrey]

I don't necessarily think so, depends on the sofa I guess. ours is made of three part because its super long, so we wanted the option to rearrange it if we move etc. but as the pieces are back to back it looks like one big couch.

this one is pretty cool, too bad its quite pricey.

after looking through a ton of which most don't really fit our style too well, I'm leaning more towards making one myself. I kind of want something slightly industrial looking. I'll doodle around tomorrow and see what I can come up with...

[Dane]

Let us know what you come up with. I wish I had the skills to make stuff when I couldn't find what I was looking for.

[snafu]

lowery when you posted this i was suprised you wern't just making one yourself as it would save you alot and it seems logical since you have made plenty in the past.

does it hug around corners or have some type of attached daybed? i feel if a single piece goes beyond seating 3, it looks like a burden in the room. i guess you really need to have a huge space for it..

sofas are such a pain in the ass to shop for. mid-range stuff looks too plain-jane and still poorly made. high-end stuff looks too silly (i don't want to sit on giant foam lips or some weird shit) and i don't want stinky-old mid-cent-mod vintage.

i want something that's grown-up, well-made, and can looks great in 10+ years. i keep going back to the goetz sofa, but there's nothing much else to choose from..



and another on my wishlist..

walnut floating ledge compact office with 1" chair..

an alternative:

exquisitely crafted rare hardwood [modernized chinese] furniture from CHUNZAI...

yea its L-shaped, its something like 4 meters long and the living room is not massive, so it almost fills and entire wall. it ended up being a bit larger than we pictured, but I'm still happy with it

this is the only picture I have:

if anyone is looking for wallpaper:

the flamant series evoke the texture of belgian linen with a selection of beautifully subtle color tones...

Check out Flexform.it. If you use your imagination and think outside all the white-canvas upholstery they use in their photos, many of their sofas are beautifully made, simple, and "adult" without being boring. Comfortable too. They're hardly "affordable", but worth looking at.

Up a bit in price-point would be Maxalto.

[surver]

flexform makes absolutely the most comfortable sofas... with the price to go with it...

however - i shouldn't be supporting this, but - there's this company that makes such good, almost exact, replicas of flexform/b&b italia/maxalto/etc that the real b&b italia actually approached them to oem their upholstered furniture for them:

thought of that actually.. but here doesnt seem to have a good quality of woods and mostly are those plywood. i like those with grain on it, but it might be quite costly though..
