Beautiful rosewood
Thanks for sharing your pictures, Andrew! There's very little in the world of wood that matches the amazing depth, grain, and tone of Brazilian rosewood. Your furniture provides a good, graphic example of that. I don't own any furniture of note, but I appreciate the attraction of fine wood, as you can see on my instruments here:
Clouded sapele wood.
Indian rosewood.
Cheers,
Daos
Furniture ...
Hi All, I have fallen in love with mid-twentieth century Danish furniture. Apart from recognising an Eames chair or a Noguchi table, I had never thought I would own and live with 'designer' pieces. But after adding a desk, tallboys, lamps and chairs to th...
More desktops ...
I love this rosewood and its grain so much that I thought I would share some more high-res images with you. I even use this as my PC 'desktop' at work! Andrew...
They look great Andrew
love the look of the timber grain like this i see why you love it too
Intense!!!
Andrew, When I was a child, I would lie in bed staring at the paneling on our wall looking for the faces I could find. The first two pictures bring back that old feeling. Actually, I still have a tendency to see faces and animals in unusual places; rugs, ...
Lovely story ...
Thanks Helen, That's a lovely story and I am pleased my pictures prompted you to share that with your grandson. The grain in the table comes 'out' in different ways depending on the time of day and how the light catches the surface. The wood is finished w...
re: furniture....
Another great post Andrew! Furniture is another area where you can find many fine craftsman working on some amazing pieces of exotic wood materials. Those pics have some really nice graining to it. My favorites are Cocobolo and Mahogany. -MW
Beautiful colour and grain.
Nothing like in my house unfortunately. Though I am a fan of Eames. I have a couple of arm shells which I love.
Very modern design...
I for one also like mid-20th century modern furniture. I personally appreciate both very modern designs and very traditional designs as well. The graining of the rosewood desk is indeed very ornate and impressive. Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
The plate of your desk looks ...
very nice and the simplicity of the commode is just beautiful. Wegner, Wanscher, Mogensen, ... and there are even more designers from Denmark, which did a great job. Like them, but don´t own a single piece - so far Pieces I like and have the pleasure...
A complete mix-up ...
... that's what we (mostly my wife ...) drags into our home .... from the scrapyard (true) to design-stores ... . the old cinema-chairs, they sit very comfortable and look so vintage ... . Some 300 watches are stored in here (in my dreams that is). This G...
I like Danish furniture a lot
I have a desk in my home office from Arne Vodder. Thanks for showing the pics, Dirk
Great post Andrew
and the pieces you have are extra ordinary, incredible wood. Really nice. And I loved to see the reply's as well, very nice to know a little bit about each others style of living. Although I am really interested in homes in all styles, from antique to Art...
Very eclectic ...
as always. No surprise I could imagine pieces from GEOrge Nakashima in your apartment as well: A real master of wood and furniture. China - what are you interested in? Spaces or furniture? Which style/century? Special wood like Zitan, Huanghuali, ...? I u...
Harmonious space …
Hi Geo, I Love your studio, particularly the built in shelving; good use of space, of course, but the colours, the flooring and the various pieces of furniture look great together. I could definitely be very comfortable, both physically and mentally, livi...
