falling in love with furniture

I'm not what you would call a 'house proud' person - sure I like nice things but my home is a bit sloppy. You won't ever see me calling a chair a 'standout piece' or a table an 'investment' as it's just not how I think. But as I get older I want a lot more order and style in my home, and I start to notice things like this chair by Emiliano Godoy and my heart swoons. Yes, swoons! I can't think of any other way to describe it. I look at this sustainably made, crafted, glowing "Camouflage" chair and want it in a deeper way when I "wanted" the $5 chairs I have now that I picked up from Vinnies. There's just something about it.

Godoy describes it by saying “Camouflage” values these materials for their environmental and aesthetic particularities. As a window of truth, the carved texture denounces the misguiding veneering of particleboards with seemingly elegant wood textures, and open the discussion for the birth of new aesthetics using new materials.

I like that, and I like Godoy's overall approach to design. It's worth reading here.

(PS. I agree, that description sounds a tad uppity and the younger me, rolls my eyes!)
