Wow.. I do that too.. how embarassing.. my mom was going to throw them away when I went off to the dorms.. so I took them and stuffed them in the attic.. I can't imagine them being in the dumpsters
..I keep a couple in my dorm room too.. the favorites

HISTORY TABLECLOTH
The tablecloth draws attention to the flow of objects over a surface in the home by signalling how long things have been left upon it. If an object is left on the table for a while, a glowing halo forms beneath it that grows slowly over time, until the object is moved. This object raises issues about the desirability of using technology to emphasise existing behaviour.

thanks miss travolta ... i'll add some more then! (i love this topic)
Not all forms of energy are as instant and apparent home electricity or lighting. Ongoing natural cycles such as sunlight represent forms of energy that that have a significant but slow change in behavior over time. ‘Appearing-Pattern Wallpaper’ amplifies such slow behaviors – it comes in a solid color when purchased, but a pattern emerges over time as sunlight exposes textures printed with UV-sensitive ink. This is a poetic example of how the life-span of ordinary things and everyday life may be transformed in relation to existant energy conditions. source: http://www.tii.se/static/

As You Like It said:That is very elegant, indeed!
To share the lighting fixture joy:
The delightfully Art-Deco light globe in the breakfast nook.
I don't have any theme with any of my furniture outside of all of it being old. I don't have anything purchased new! My newest thing is I guess maybe the sofa, which dates to around 1979, and I don't have it for its aesthetic considerations, as it is hideous. It just so happens to have been free and very comfortable!
I want to get one of the plainer French Provencial-style lounge suites from the 1940s of 1950s and upholser it and make a matching slipcover for the extant sofa.
Here is the dining table:
And here is the bedroom, plus Griswald (when he was little)
I love the purple (shawl?) thats so creatively put on the curtains! I have an affair with the color purple.
^Yay! I'm a huge Maarten Baas fan!! I love that stuff. I wonder if he will continue to burn stuff or if he will move on to something else? I can't wait to see what he does next.
One of my favorite designers is Jurgen Bey. This is bench was created for the Droog Design for Oranienbaum project in 99'. It's meant to be used outdoors and symbolizes an interaction between culture and nature.

Here's a screenshot from his website of his design for the Interpolis Tilberg restaurant:
Will post more later
