This Finnish church by Anssi Lassila was one of the reasons for starting this blog, and maybe that’s why, paradoxically, it got forgetten – it already seemed to be here.

Custom woodwork by Vladimir
July 5, 2010
This is my friend Vladimir, a master woodworker in Vancouver who is originally from Moscow. I feel that local craftspeople like Vlad who produce one-of-a-kind objects and high-level custom work do not get enough press.

The Most Simple Chair / Grycja Erde
June 14, 2010
the most simple chair designed by grycja erde. Via rolu, one of the very best blogs in this plethora of blogs. I like furniture that stacks and gets out of the way, especially if it forms a large solid platform to sit or put objects on.
Patio chair of rebar and planks
May 19, 2010
Outdoor chairs made very simply from welded rebar and wooden planks. The little folding perch is clever too. If you’re from DF and you know the name of this designer, please remind me.

Chapel in Tarnów, Poland, by Beton Architects
November 8, 2009
This chapel in Tarnów, Poland, is by Marta Rowińska & Lech Rowiński of the firm Beton (photos by Beton) and was completed in 2009. Being a completely non-religious non-churchgoer who really dislikes all the tortured religious iconography and narrative (and could do without the cross), I don’t know why I’m so attracted to all these humble churches (see also here and here) but I think it’s a relief to see a building whose utility is somewhat non-utilitarian and undefinable.

Kelly Wearstler on 2thewalls
October 24, 2009
I feel badly stealing these pictures from 2thewalls, because I know how much time KEEHNAN, its author, probably spent scanning these photos. I don’t know what it is about scanning but it’s an intensely boring process during which time seems to actually drag backwards.

Art object & Christmas tree – PossibiliTree
October 13, 2009
Bringing a Christmas tree inside is actually a relatively new phenomenon. It does not go back to pagan times. It started in Germany, where one tree was brought into the local guild hall but not into every house.
