New art exhibit featuring Yasuko Fujioka and Stephen Cimini
Vastu is pleased to welcome artists Yasuko Fujioka and Stephen Cimini. Stop by between now and early June to see their amazing work.
Yasuko’s collaboration with patterns, employment of materials and my personal letters are her life story…expressions of observations and fascination with the beauty and sorrow of daily life. They are a refined connection to the universality of her essential inner sentiments. These connections are her purest and most honest relation to the world.
Etsy find: Tied
This delightful pen and ink drawing illustration is a playful take on the lines of the Eames chair. Owner of the Etsy shop, NanLawson, says this of the sketch:
I love drawing Eames chairs but wanted to be a little playful about it. Perfect for a retro modern kids room! But I’m sure it works for grown ups too.
How do these stack up?
Considering some new dining chairs or side chairs? Perhaps stackable is the way to go. Stackable chairs can be comfortable and are an especially great solution for entertaining because you can easily move them out of the way into a closet or bedroom to make room for your guests. Knoll offers a number of stackable chairs.
