plywood+nuts+bolts+OSB and you may get a little TILTED
I am really digging the use of simple and available materials that TILT is using in their projects. I can’t help but on some level think they are inspiring all of us to DIY, how to, or even make your own furniture using some of the simplest of materials. In no way am I taking away from their work, I think it is killer. I really like the industrial modern vibe that the OSB and nuts and bolts provide. More inspiration after the jump.
Mathias Hahn - product design
I am totally digging on all of Mathias Hahn’s products, I could see any of these in my home. I am especially impressed with their modern lighting collection. My favorite has to be the Lantern, the combination of metal and class is very cool. Check out more of this London based studio after the jump.
Barcelona Chair, Real or Fake - A Craigslist Tale
I don’t really have a habit of checking Craigslist every day but I happen to check it early one morning last week. The listing said “black leather designer chair”. I clicked the link and there was a picture of a Ludwig Mies van der Rohe barcelona chair. I instantly thought this had to be a reproduction because there could in no way be one this cheap, in this area. There was one feature that made me hope this could be original and it was the piping in the stitching. There was no phone number in the listing so I sent off an email. Click read more to hear how it turned out.

Do you know Brown-Saltman?
I didn’t until last week. I was on my usual Friday thrifting rounds and spied this amazing smaller square coffee table with an incredible walnut grain. I won’t say how much I paid but it was a goooood deal. While I was there I saw another longer coffee table but really did not pay it much attention due to the fact it had a smoked glass top which hid it’s beauty. When I got the smaller table home and cleaned up I noticed the logo and did a little research on Brown-Saltman. While thumbing through google images I came across an image of the table I passed up, yes it too was a Brown-Saltman. I worried all weekend if this other table was still there, Monday they were closed. On Tuesday I sped over and sure enough it was still there and the same price as the other one. Make the jump to read a little more about Brown-Saltman and see the two tables I scored.
