Lastest creation

I just picked this up from the upholsterer. I made the base at woodwork and then took it along with the Nguni skin, [Zulu cow], I bought in South Africa. This is the result!
I was going to put some legs on it, but the upholsterer just put gliders on and I think I'm going to leave it as it is for the moment. It's approximately 1 metre across and 36cm high, so a good size. I meant to take a photo of the base I made before I got it covered, but forgot! my wood work wasn't wonderful and I had great fun with a nail gun, but as it was all getting covered it didn't matter too much.
It's a real statement piece and I LOVE it!

Vintage Furniture

I found this great site the other day - it was mentioned in Home Beautiful, an Australian magazine. Like many others, I love the Bond & Bowery site which I discovered via Studio Annettas blog, [thanks Suzy!], but shipping to Australia is very expensive.
Although 506070 hasn't got as much selection and they start at the 1950's, it's still good to find something like that here.
I've found a couple of goodies I really fancy...........

mushroom chair by designer Pierre Paulin, manufactured by Artifort. It's sitting on a Verner Panton rug.


love the look of this Arne Jacobsen Swan sofa, upholstered in chocolate leather. Hasn't got a price on it though!
