SitSteel by Gaspard Cabanes

SitSteel by Gaspard Cabanes

The furniture available from SitSteel is decidedly modern, but with a hint of old-time craftsmanship. The main creative and productive force behind SitSteel is Gaspard Cabanes, who is a metalsmith. His hands-on approach to traditional craftsmanship is melded with a minimalist aesthetic and the commitment to art-infused pieces that makes his work stand apart from the crowd. The industrial edge that each piece carries with it would compliment a loft-style or minimalist interior, and could be added to nearly any modern decor for some flavor. Most of the pieces are unique one-of-a-kind creations, so interested potential clients can customize a piece that is designed specifically for their taste and space.

Furniture Love for Second Hand Chairs

Just discovered the site Furniture Love with a wealth of information on second hand chairs.

Chair Who? Chair Whore!

That’s the wonderful thing of blogging: You browse, you share, people start to find you, they link to you, they blogrol you. You reciprocate as much as possible – at least I try to do so at my press page. They start copying stuff you’ve published, and the word spreads and spreads and spreads. Slowly but gradually. Sometimes they find you, if you haven’t found them already.

Today I looked into my blog’s stats and, out of the blue, I found incoming traffic from…who? Yes! I couldn’t believe my eyes: From Chair Whore! As Jamie from Mediarosa commented on Swiss Miss who found Chair Whore a couple of days ago:”I’m always amazed when someone can make such a singular pursuit without apology. Yay for chair whores everywhere!“. I concur, Jamie, and I love your woo theme find! Have to look into it:-) Am using the Thesis theme on the significant other blog, but hesitant about using it here.

Chair Whore is an offspring of the Blue Ant Studio blog of Miami, Florida, based Joel and Maria Pirela, which in turn has an sister Blue Art Studio blog. The photo is pinched from their blogger profile.

Until now I had been sitting on my hands not to start a “Chair Porn” series of photos I took in February of a fantastic exhibition of Ron Arad chairs in Paris. I believe I dare to do it now. Thank you Chair Whore!

Off topic observations:

  1. There is a strange find when you do a Chair Whore Google: You get this a strange PDF document, referring to Dutch Colonial past, where an OCR error occurred: The document starts as follows:
    “I think, Lady Chair, I don’t know quite where to start”
    which is garbled into:
    “[PDF] I think, Lady Chair, X don’t knar quite whore to start. hcrirould …” .
    LOL
  2. Read the Urban Dictionary definition
  3. Finally, because I’m a bit reading about SEO for bloggers, I noticed that during the afternoon Swiss Miss was overtaken in Google by several others. Now I’m curious what happens when I post this:-)[update 11.56pm it landed just above Swiss Miss in the Chair Whore Google Search]
