the Eileen Gray de Stijl table project

Working the wood with a woodworking wonk who would willingly work the woodwork to recreate Eileen Gray's 1922 de Stijl table (a working version...). It is hands down my most favoritist table ever. My pal, a maker of more traditional fare, described the table as "confusing" but nonetheless doable.

Here's some good music to listen to while making neoplastic furniture:



There's even a track titled "Let's Build a Home"!

  1. I don't know what he thinks is so confusing about that. Three legs, one of which is a sheet, two to three tops (depending on how you're counting), two side panel thingies, and the beginnings of a flag pole sticking out on top -- makes perfect sense to me.

    No. No, it doesn't.
