TimeOut

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...  

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...  

love the look of the timber grain like this i see why you love it too

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, ... 

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...  

I have always liked rosewood furniture. JerryW

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

Nothing like in my house unfortunately. Though I am a fan of Eames. I have a couple of arm shells which I love.

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!

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...  

... 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 have a desk in my home office from Arne Vodder. Thanks for showing the pics, Dirk

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...  

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...  

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... 

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 app...
