i love that bathroom. it looks beautiful, recognizable and at the same time not like it's trying too hard.

i have them in my hallway and i use 4 of them to hold my hats/my bag/my scarf (i really only always use one) and for that they are great. they come with all hooks/screws/hardware so you probably couldn't save that much if you were to do it myself ( i paid €13 per piece). i imagine they wouldn't ruin shoes - but wouldn't the shoes ruin the wall? you can vary the strength they pull things towards the wall by placing them further apart or closer together (according to the instructions they go between 80 and 90 cm in width)

i combined them with something else thats overpriced for being that simple: http://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com/Products/eur1/Furniture/Storage/4136/Mail holder

but they look great together!

hey everyone, this is Andreas

thanks for all the comments.

I wasn't sure whether the good people at AT would post the photos at all - the style is rather different from all the other places. there's barely an actual piece of furniture in my place (not by accident though).

yes, most of the comments that try to describe me are correct: Design Student, just out of college on the first job, bachelor. Funnily enough, while i was actually IN college, my furniture was more high up. Some of the other points were already addressed by other people (i.e. the square footage, minimal/minimalism)

I don't have guests over much, and I remember from my apartment that i lived in in college is that my dining area was almost never used - and I just decided there was no room for such incidental functions. likewise with guests: i do not usually have more than one person over, so I didn't make room for more than one guest.

@ Jenna, Orchid 64: I was in fact inspired by Japanese interior design. a lot of the odds and ends are from Muji, and one thing I'm still considering to get is Tatamis for the bed area

@JPK, Monca G: The headboard is something i came up with by myself - it's actually extremely simple to build. the frosted glass is attached to the wood frame with velcro strips.

Concerning the shelves: they're from muuto

in a way, thats the wrong question. those chairs aren't made to go with a couch in a classical couch/chair/coffeetable situation. what you need to do is look at what you want to do in those chairs and where they're going to go and create an environment for them that works - and that's most likely not with a couch, not in the usual way.

i don't know how uncommon it is, but when i lived in new york (financial district) we couldn't get verizon for whatever reason and so we went with covad ( http://www.covad.com ) which had practically no downtime and no issues. i could absolutely recommend it with a clear conscience...

ooh, you might wanna look at this in english i guess.

these are indeed ugly, but i am loving their togo line. maybe it's just the 60s scifi-furniture fan in me. i've test-sat those and i'm loving them: http://www.lignerosetdallas.com/images/togoatmosphere2.jpg

power pole - black. been considering that one for ages - its amazing.

i voted for the ghost chair too: a salesman in a kartell store once demonstrated the durability of the ghost chair to me: you can bend the legs or any other part over 90 degrees and they just snap right back and show no marks whatsoever! he did some more tricks with them which convinced me that those are truly meant to last a long time...

is there a way to get one of those in germany? the website doesn't let me choose a shipping address here...
