New Luddism. Awake and resist!
Just been browsing latest book borrowed from Brian; "Contemporary Danish Furniture Design" Frederick Sieck 9788717062023.
Very interesting stuff and should be read more widely by UK furniture designer/makers still struggling under the dreadful yoke of Arts n Crafts :roll:
I came across a "tobacco cabinet" - Ludvig Pontoppidan 1955, which was a dead ringer for one of dead Jim's little jobs! It transpires that there is a long established tradition in many countries for tobacco cabinets, including quaint picturesque versions.
So that's where the little geezer got the idea. Somewhere to put his shag, Rizlas and Zippos!
Obvious with hindsight.
