I'm so glad I stopped getting botox in my forehead because now my eyebrows can shoot up to the ceiling when I see stuff like that, just as god intended.

I don't understand what this house is trying to be you have part of it going for this sort of rustic farmhouse vibe with the dining table/chairs and fireplace then you have some incredibly 90s contemporary poo poo that looks to have been stolen from the Sopranos' house (kitchen stuff, that table lamp) and then you have some extremely modern lighting fixtures, like the one above the kitchen table which is a PH pendant from Louis Poulsen (or a knockoff)

The lighting was probably just picked out from the hardware store as a generic contemporary-looking thing; I don't think most people would recognize it as as being a knockoff of a particular designer tbh.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the leftovers of the owner's 80s-90s eclectic collection.

So it's just weird seeing it next to the super 90s lighting - I didn't even notice that one on the back right wall!

I noticed an Eames chair in a coworkers background during a meeting today and he got SUPER excited to tell me all about it. He's an industrial ~designer~ so I got an earful about rosewood and leather finishes.

They also make remote controlled motorized pulldown ("fireplace") mounts now.  The new paint is curing and it's getting so nice and satiny and deep now. I highly recommend painting your walls neat colors. I'm very glad we did.

I mean I've got a masters degree in industrial design and while I'm a big Charles & Ray fan I will also probably never buy one, but thats more due to the fact that we are closing on a reproduction of a 1740's Williamsburg house and it would look absolutely hella out of place.

Also I'm well aware you pay a significant markup for the name. But I'm a lot less bothered paying an extra couple hundred for the dowel leg armchair than a couple extra thousand for the lounge chair.

They look comfy but any oversized seat and foot rest would probably be comparably so, and less than a sofa so deep I can swim in it. Still, they are pretty objects, and I think that's about the appeal. Get a knockoff and be done with it.

I've sat in these in the original surroundings, and they're really weird because they're not uncomfortable at all, but have also been designed to not be comfortable enough for people to fall asleep in them, and force good posture: But that's what I'd get if I were rich.

Sirotan posted:luxurygoods.txt from what the blu dot manager told me, there is an actual foundation that part of the sales of stuff like Eames and Saarinen go to that is added to the price. Basically no current or future designer will have something like that, it's just old dudes who only have b/w pics of them wearing glasses and smoking pipes that have been enshrined in the ancient stone tablet of modern design (there is no actual tablet - or is there????) https://eamesfoundation.org/ https://www.saarinenfoundation.org/ but with more "current" stuff, the way I see it is that it's not just a functional piece of furniture, it's a piece of art. People pay thousands, or sometimes tens of thousands of dollars to put art on their wall, so furniture you both love the functionality of and like the look of seems like a relative bargain. having something you really enjoy seeing every day is really valuable! actionjackson fucked around with this message at 02:19 on May 14, 2021 |

falz posted:Pretty sure I've never seen "sunken hallway" before. It basically makes it a galley kitchen but in an open-concept way. If it weren't sunken and someone was using the hallway side of the island they would be encroaching on the hallway in an awkward way. It's unique (and I agree a weird tripping potential), but kind of a novel way to maximize the counterspace without sacrificing the open look.
