OVERSTOCK.com still has the BEST Mid-Century-Modern Knockoffs…

By Ty Wenzel • Jan 7th, 2010 • Category: Featured, Interiors Exteriors, Product & Merch, Retro Modern, Style for Less Dough

OVERSTOCK.COM
Whether it’s Eames, Saarinen, or Bertoia, you can find a direct knock-off to their most famous pieces, particularly in the chairs, dining chairs and seating departments.  I have the Saarinen tulip chair knock-off and I LOVE IT.  It’s very obvious with these pieces exactly who they are shamelessly knocking off, but really, if you want [...]

Visit Instructables!
With a special jig, a good bit of time and a LOT?of cardboard you can make the very comfortable, very groovy ball chair. Since the bulk of the material is scrap cardboard this also makes a nice recycling project. You can upholster the final chair like I did or just paint it [...]

An adjustable reclining chair that can be bolted together without making a mess.

Two years ago I tried to find myself a comfortable reclining chair for reading, taking naps, curing colds, and writing Instructables with a laptop on my lap. To my surprise, the market only offered chairs that were eit…

Herman Miller Embody Chair: The Object of Desire

By Ty Wenzel • Mar 28th, 2009 • Category: Interiors Exteriors
Herman Miller® Embody Office Chair

Visit Mod Design!Working behind a desk eight hours each day in an enclosed space certainly is no vacation. However, there are many things we can add to revamp our space to create an exciting environment, one that motivates us through the sleep deprived mornings and post-lunch afternoons. I can definitely be put into the dull [...]



Wheel Stool

By Ty Wenzel • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: DIY Junkies

Visit Instructables!
I made this chair from a wheelbarrow a couple weeks ago. Like Indians using every scrap of the bison for something, I saved the wheel for some unspecified future project. It eventually struck me that the tire could make a nice stool. Unfortunately, I thought of the idea on the way [...]



Heavy Duty Porch Swing

By Ty Wenzel • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: DIY Junkies

Visit Instructables!
When I first saw my house, I fell in love with the front porch that runs along the entire front side. It’s huge (about 8′ x 35′) and the perfect spot for a porch swing.
However, I’m a hair under 6′2 and I used to play rugby so I am most assuredly not petite or [...]



Sign Chair

By Ty Wenzel • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: DIY Junkies

Visit Instructables!
This chair is made from, obviously, a 25-year old metal sign — but, to complete the concept, all the wood I used is recycled campaign sign posts. In this election season, those wooden stakes should be plentiful. They are generally crap, rough-sawn wood, but with a little sandpaper and elbow greas…

Knock-Off Report: How to Get a Mid-Century Look With Ikea

By Ty Wenzel • Oct 22nd, 2008 • Category: Featured, Interiors Exteriors, Product & Merch, Retro Modern
The Trollsta tray table - $99

Have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with Mid-Century modern design? Even so, alas, I don’t have the income to go the *authentic* route, what with a child and his future at stake (i.e. I’d rather save for his ivy-league education), so I usually go the knock-off or “inspired-by” route. I like [...]



Laura Ashley For Centrist Modernistas

Elegant Perforations

By Ty Wenzel • Sep 5th, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors, Style Trend Forcasting

Ingenious design combined with modern technologies can make even stone furniture look light and elegant, and bring elasticity and transparence to unexpected materials like leather.
It seems that the trend for using leather with special form of incisions
on a metal frame is growing. We saw SKiN -the new sofa designed by Jean Nouvel for Molteni & [...]
