Lately we haven't done much furniture postings which when we started I thought would be something we'd beat into the ground with an abundance of posts. Now that the blog keeps getting more and more great posts from the collective i'll do my best to keep an eye out on some vintage furnishings and new work like these drawers from Finn Juhl which is classy mid modern design with a semi brighter color palette.

56th Studio 's Caricature as furniture collection , is a line of whimsical chairs designed to look like members of The Simpsons family: Homer , Marge , Bart , and Lisa . Sadly, there's no Maggie chair. The collection doesn't start and stop with The Simpsons, however, they also have a Lady Gaga chair , a Harry Potter chair , a Hedwig chair , and two chairs - " Grace " and " Naomi " - that sadly I don't recognize. The Harry Potter chair might be my favorite of the bunch. [via [...]
The Los Angeles Times blog, L.A. at Home, recently ran an article describing the background behind Mad Men character Don Draper's 1960s era Manhattan-based high-rise apartment and the origin of its vintage mid-century furnishings. Apartment 17-B, right, set decorator Claudette Didul said, is "in a high-rise that feels like it was built in 1960 with a white-carpeted sunken living room and a fascinating fireplace and a Case Study-style kitchen with two pass through windows." It also sports walnut cabinetry with a built-in television set and one of those new-fangled-for-the-time push-button phones. Didul said Draper's [...]
If you are not a native San Franciscan, perhaps this won't seem that special to you, but for me I find myself lusting after furniture in a way I haven't done since I discovered the work of the Eames Brothers . You remember that passage in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon when one of the characters is writing about Gomer Bolstrood furniture and his wife's erotic fixation on heirloom furniture? Like that.

Today is beautiful, sunny and bright. A few white whispy clouds give the blue sky a bit of character. A strong breeze is shaking branches and whirling bird feeders. It makes the day feel a little bit cooler than it is. I'm glad to see the sun. I have never been one for domesticity. My house is always kept clean, but I don't always make my bed. I never learned to crochet or knit, and I'm sorry for that, but I can do crewel and needlepoint but haven't for a long while. Sewing a button is about the [...]

The artist Nick Veasey from Kent, UK, X-rays inanimate objects to find out what is inside. "It's probably every child's dream to be able to have X-ray vision and see inside the presents before the big day," Nick told the Daily Mail.

Created by Uruguayan designer Claudio Sibille , the Ludovico chest is made from eucalyptus wood, remove the table and pull out the chairs, suddenly you have a complete set of furniture that can disappear again at a moment's notice.
The picNYC Table by Haiko Cornelissen Architecten is a grass-covered dining table that looks at once completely whimsical and impractical. The table aspires to transplant the rural into the urban environment. "Suddenly, spilling water becomes a necessity instead of a problem and wine glasses need coasters not to prevent ring stains but to avoid tumbling," the designer explains . The grass and soil are very much real and need the attention of your green thumb. [via Doobybrain ]

After successfully designing furniture with a straightforward approach for years, Canadian designer Beaumont set out to create something unique for friends and family. His unique designs evoke the art of Salvador Dali and Walt Disney. Now check out his latest creation, Bad Table seen below.
The Sekretär Flatmate is one of those pieces of furniture that makes me think I'd somehow become 50% more productive just by having it in my house. That's probably not the case, but it would look great either way. Anybody actually have one of these things? €990 seems a bit steep for me, but I could see how it might be worth it if you were short on space in some NYC studio or something.

That video up there is probably the most mental song we've recorded in our house. It is the second of a couple of preview videos of the PAWS Toad Session, which will be going up tomorrow. Yes, Phil does play his guitar with one of our candles. Yes, and with the cymbals too. It's not often I get involved in a gin extravaganza and come off worse than anyone, but yesterday was one of those incapacitating hangovers whereby I could barely even look at the internet, much less write anything on it. Is something 'on' the [...]
