The Womb Chair and Ottoman is the greatest gift to comfy. I have one in Aegaen Boucle that makes me very happy every day. I would say that it's highest/most natural use is watching movies/conversation, due to the slightly kicked back lounging position. It's naturally comfortable to have your head back and eyes forward.

I write in mine every morning and have found that readjusting the base cushion back and the back cushion up creates a more upright posture, better for a position where the head is bowed for reading/writing. The chair perfectly accomodates the Levenger Lapdesk, which is great for typing/long-hand/note-taking. If I'm working for several hours, i'll pop a pillow behind my shoulders, as it's nice to lean my head back in deep contemplation (jk).

I'm even considering getting rid of my desk entirely, as i do most work in the Womb now.

Ah, Saarinen. Did he make any subpar objects?

i have the rolly mirror in my entryway - it's absolutely perfect. bike lights, keys, etc. thotchkes on top. simple hooks to either side. great landing strip.

i've used moleskins for awhile. they are expensive but i find that my journals last a couple months to a year - so it better be high enough quality to get jostled around in my bag for a long while. i've been very happy with mine.

then again, i'm a sucker for lovely papers.

don't call someone an idiot. it's rude.

i bought these in amsterdam while on vacation. great for arrangements in our sublet. i've recycled most of my other vases - these are perfect for small arrangements and don't take up any room in the cupboard!

oy. ugh. bleh. so...big.

I think it's important to remember that this is a Hand-Blown Object. This is an incredibly difficult skill to acquire, not to mention expensive in terms of studio time and materials.

When I buy hand made objects by designers/artists, I have the opportunity to invest in/support my creative community as well as acquiring a gorgeous object. That's worth a little bit more money to me. But then, I like to support the arts and drink good wine or pdxwater. (These carafes are the water carafe of choice at my favorite restaurants in portland, or.)
