The whole purpose of this machine is actually to reupholster this Eames knockoff chair. 1970's era. It has seen better days. I salvaged this for free off the side of the road in the trash when it had just one small tear in it. Now, it is falling apart. #reupholstering #furniture

Brown chair which looks like an Eames lounge, but is not. There are many balls of yarn behind the chair in various colors.

Someday, I have to reupholster this chair (it's in worse condition now... fake leather splitting). The bunny is a lot older ;-)

Anyone around here ever try reupholstering a fake Eames chair? Curious how hard it is. (I know another MCM chair I have apparently cannot be reupholstered, because it is held together with glue and parts that break if you try to take it all apart)

ps. I paid $0.00 for this chair, it was out on the curb for trash day and I threw it in my truck.

Soft hues and still moments — a pastel pause in Leipzig 🌸☕

I shot this peaceful café while the city was buzzing with book fair visitors and the streets were crowded. It felt so calm in contrast, as if time had slowed down just a little.

Friday 5 April 1963

Not so long ago wearing an ankle bracelet meant that you were either a film starlet with an eye for a publicity gimmick, or a woman who put impact before good taste. But today things are changing fast and rings on her toes are just as acceptable as rings on her fingers. Foot jewellery is selling fast and likely to become a fashion trend.

So much of what we think of when it comes to modern wooden furniture was his invention. It might even seem cliche now, but it's other people paying homage, copying, or ripping off George Nakashima. Bark inclusions? Him. Butterflies in checks in the wood? Him. Using the natural edges, using burled wood, book matching slabs, embracing the flaws? All George Nakashima. He loved trees, he loved wood, he loved furniture. A damn legend.

And here's the Conoid cantilevered chair of Nakashima's design. His contemporary furniture makers declared that it wouldn't work. They were wrong—its failure rate was much lower than other designs. And it slides easily, even on thick carpet. George Nakashima had advanced engineering degrees on top of being a soulful designer and craftsman. He didn't play.

Also, like his other furniture, it's a very very comfortable chair

I've been anticipating this stop for months, and it didn't disappoint: the George Nakashima Memorial Museum. Nakashima was a Spokane, WA born Japanese-American, internment camp survivor, and one of the best wood furniture designers of the 20th century. It's a small museum, but absolutely packed with his achievements. Here's his signature on a beam of the building that has become the museum
