    Default For the modernist...

    ... some amazing looking furniture forms.

    Modern where they look like bush craft built or woodworkers of yore from farming districts work.

    So is this the genre you're moving on to WW?

    I think it's a bit like Paris Hilton... attractive in an odd sort of way, but I wouldn't want it in my house.

    Weird! I usually want to touch wood furniture, but not those. (I reckon there might be the odd dovetail in some of the chairs though. )

    It's what's known in this household as a 'lighthouse' (after those posters of a massive wave breaking round a lighthouse with some unsuspecting sod standing in a doorway on the leeward side - the photograph is amazing, but after I saw it, I wasn't bothered if I ever saw it again).

    Definitely not modernist, most could probably pass for kitsch. Kinda like the chair, at least is an attempt at ornate functionality, the stools could be made of plastic and OK in the room of a kid who likes fairies sitting on toadstools, the rest are just pedestals gone troppo. IMHO.

    Good grief! One wood worker's artistic expression perhaps.

    A few of them are quite good but I don't know if I'd have them in the house. I do like the curved seat. They are eye catchers.

    Thumbs up

    Some of that is really off beat, such as the upside down echidna.

    I happen to like the stools and the chair is fine too.
