Fun!

I'd like to be able to climb all over a 

Pierre Jeanneret sculpture!

Dude, check out those box stool table things.

I bet the handles are different colors....

More of Pierre Jeanneret's amazing designs.

They seem to love to study outside in India.

Loving that wall, and the kids matt stool pad riser thingys.

I have no idea what this means....

But it is great looking.

It would make a good tattoo.

Outside again.

Stools please.

Outside, even though you have a brand spanking new building

behind you.

All of these photos are from 1956.

Look at all the amazing details in this one shot....

Teachers

The stencils on the chairs are very cool.

Chairs are not bad either.

Oh! She looks pissed!

Wall is amazing.

I had to show this Pierre Jeanneret sculpture again,

so killer....

You can buy the book for $1000 

here, 

which seems fitting the way the 

furniture 

has been going.

OR,

here

for

$53.21

Up to you,

but

believe you me,

 your friends will be 

WAY 

more impressed if you

pay the 

$1000....

rare and highly undesirable....

Today's fresh pick

from

"Marty The Picker"

is a set of 4 homemade

"Modern" 

chairs 

from "Home Craftsman" magazine of

January 1952.

They were

designed by Arthur Collani.

You see these every now and then,

but they usually look like they were made in a 

home woodshop by a slightly drunken, stressed-out Dad,

who was in the "shop" more to

drink beer and

 get away from the kid and the Misses

than to produce a nice piece of furniture.

But these are surprisingly well-made,

nice quality plywood 

(that was actually sanded!) 

with a

cool black cerused finish.

Too bad nobody but me cares!

But somebody has to...

might as well be me.
