We noticed some of the top designers selected were only single person teams. Although after checking on each everyone's website we noticed that silent partner's exist.

Might be interesting to see a future design contest dedicated to collaborative teams. Look in the past for great design team combinations- Ray & Charles, The Campana Brothers... JEHS LAUB.. Can't be to many cooks in the kitchen. Keeps the ego in check.

Fin Juhl needs a John Water's pencil thin Moustache to complete his self portrait.

We rolled the dice to choose our answer & the Nomad Lamp got our vote.

Wonder if boxerchick would dig the lamp if it had a Tree Bark Shade.

Just a random Thought. Something to get your feather duster caught in...

Great Designs from Duravit.
Probably would not buy from them again.
You can find cheaper alternative from local craftsman.
Even if you are resourceful you can find a space saving siphon at your local plumbing supplier for a 1/16th of the cost. See photo link for example:

The plastic p-trap Duravit sells for 70.00 at most online retailers can be found for only 7.00 at any local plumber's supply store. I guess some people have tons of money to flush so it probably does not matter to find a cheaper alternative.

We are going for knocking off furniture for our bathroom vanity due to poor customer service from the company we have made purchases from in the past. In our world we only knock off furniture for our own home to make things with our own hands & plus you get so much more finish options.
Since we are so ticked off with this euro company we are going to offer our Solidworks drawings for all the world to see & have a try at making their own spin off on a Happy D vanity at a fraction of the cost. The only tough item on this furniture knock off is to find a local furniture maker that is good a creating curved ply drawer front...
I would love to see Duravit try & sue us- maybe then they would be wasting the same amount of time we spent dealing with crappy customer service...

Might be able to get a tax credit for those farm animals.
I think we get a property tax break in Kansas if we have a small herd of goats in the front yard. Beats having to mow the lawn.

Very nice pad.

The bent wood high chair from SVAN is sweet.
