I don't care about furniture since I break and stain it all but it's really cool to see it all split up and floating like that. Really cool, thanks!

So weird to walk down my street and see these decorating store windows. There's like one on almost every block.

Necropost! But this was fun: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19590714

I had never noticed the Eames office had made Powers of Ten, one of my favorite films ever.

I was in an abandoned house a few weeks ago that had at least a dozen fiberglass chairs strewn about the basement. The looked just like Eames copies, but there were four bolts molded into a layer of fiberglass, different than the epoxied bolts you usually see. Plus they had green tweed fabric covering a black plastic frame that was glued to the white fiberglass.

None of them had legs, which makes me think they may have come from some sort of bench type arrangement. Nearly all of them were in bad shape. I took two home that were in the actual garbage and stripped them down to the fiberglass shell, just need to remove the foam and get some cheap legs.

That's the rub- for the price of a pair of legs I can get a pair of new repros with no work involved.

Speaking of repros, you can get an Eames lounge chair via Lex Mod on sale for 600 dollars every so often. They look great, perfect for reading or watching TV, terrible to try to sleep in.

Also perfect for smoking a pipe.

Don't see the relation.

Some taken apart vs something split in half. And Hirst is a hack..(No pun intended)

And off topic - was there a shirt actually released with that Hiro Grim Waldar guts design, kroker? If so I'd love to get one.
