>This is an original idea. The problem is that not all radiators are the same size, so perhaps made to measure benches would be a good idea. Perhaps I should think about utilising my hazel panels in an environment where air is needed to breathe through? I think they would be the ideal material for Continue Reading

>Here is something that I obviously missed at the Stockholm Furniture Fair! This is a nice elegant, lightweight, chair which uses steam bending to make the shape of the components, and simple and honest construction to assemble it. It also comes flat packed, which not only saves on transportation space, but allows the owner to Continue Reading

>I have recently developed a preoccupation with this. Here is a piece of furniture that I admire very much, The Superleggera chair by Italian designer Gio Ponti is exceptionally strong and weighs only 1.7kg.

I had originally attempted to buy this lonely planet but amazon did not deliver it in time for me leaving, so I shall send it back Continue Reading

>Amongst my continued reading, I have been jotting ideas down on my ‘thinking space’ sheets. Today I started to think about the statements I might want to make within my final project. These statements could appear within pieces of furniture that are intended for function and everyday use, or, probably the more radical ideas, could Continue Reading

>So here is the killer question that was posed to me in my tutorial the other day. I have been formulating an answer over the past few days and this is roughly the answer I have settled on. It is based on my own ideas combined with those from books that I have read. My Continue Reading
