Do they have tags? I detest tags on towels. My current set have seen a bit of wear, so it is almost time to replace them. I was actually thinking about having some made custom, to avoid tags, but a...
Wow, the Riga desk looks really ugly to me. I assumed it was one of the cheap ones. I've always loved the Albini desk. And the Offi Wave Desk is surprisingly attractive for only $900 (though, it ha...
Daniel P: I agree, as hipster flourish, overdose.
But for slightly classier holiday decor, I think they are cute. Other than the bone candle holders, which are tacky beyond belief. :-)...
This is my favorite cafe/dining chair ever!
No mention of Le Corbusier? (Maybe there is in that little video... can't watch it right now though, no sound at work.) Le Corbusier initiat...
I have the coffee table. I use it without wheels. It is very sturdy; recommended. I am thinking about replacing it at some point though because it is a bit too low for my sofa.
I just have to re-post part of somedudeinvicenza's comment because it is so awesome:
'Finally, I love all the "how bourgeois!" comments. Uh...this is a design blog. Who are you calling...
For practicality, steel. For aesthetics, marble. I have always disliked granite pattern. It looks like it is designed to hide dirt, which to me just makes it always look dirty, even when clean.
I also love the huge forest canvas. The tree pictures seem to be a theme. My favorite element is the contrast of the baroque frames with the industrial brick walls.
Looking at it again, I think a cream with warm tones would work best. It would pull the floor color up into the rest of the room and unify everything. You might even want to take a sample of the fl...
I vote for cream, or a pastel.
Concur with veto on bright orange and chocolate. Anything too saturated will jump forward way too much against the other colors there, I think.
Concur. This is stylish, but not minimal in any way I can see. In fact, there is a tremendous amount of traditionalist extraneous decoration, like the molding on the walls, the frilly frames (which...
Modfan: thanks. I found bauhaus2yourhouse also and was likewise slightly put off by the knock-offs, but they claim their Thonets are made in some of the original factories and are licensed. Have yo...
Wow, I know I can bring the snark sometimes here, but prettybirdblog takes the cake. Burn it?! Please. Critical is acceptable as long as it is constructive.
Anyways, I'm surprised that...
There is a case to be made that precious archaeological objects require careful preservation. But this article is not talking about precious archaeological objects being "looted"--it is talking abo...
gregny: seconded. The basics of space and lighting are more important than the furniture, which is more like detailing. Beware the marketing!
I actually like the before pictures, other...
So by this logic, I guess the little black dress would be masculine?
I don't think this is a useful paradigm for balancing a design. Instead, why not focus on real qualities (many of w...

Still tacky.

Very cohesive. My favorite elemets are the sofas. RedMaiko: I think the lights in the living room are:

I've been looking for a reputable manufacturer of Thonet chairs, specifically the Vienna Cafe Chair 18. Any recommendations?
