My great grandfather was a wicker worker, and my grandfather and his sister had/have some pieces that stood the test of time. Notably, a white painted wicker chair, with a circular top. It isn't exactly my style, but I found it fairly inspiring. I definitely think it held up better than the wood chair from the other side of the family in the same generation which is loose and creaky at its craftsman joints. (Not what I expected.) What I didn't like about it is that the seat was small, and not the sort of thing you feel comfortable leaning back in. However, I think that makes artists who work with large, flowing wicker forms so compelling. There's a literal nesting possibility with wicker, bamboo, steam bent, and woven wood. Something people might not realize is that willow copices were an amazing source of fast growing building essentials, animal feed, and an active participant in land, and water management strategies, and a very useful part of basic, sustainable living in Europe, and around the world. In the past. They were a go-to resource, when you wanted to whack most things together. Wattle made up moving animal fences for herds, and chickens, and houses were made of wattle and daub. It was very natural to make furniture out of the same stuff. For that reason, I think it should be said that not only could wicker really suit traditional styles, and Tudor houses, but also cob houses, and in a fashion, the new artistic, sustainable, big bamboo styles of home. There's a lot of potential in the art form. That said, finishing is kind of an issue, as with anything wood, you're hoping will last for a while. The piece I know survived had an indoor life, and was painted. When it comes to wood, there is a balance of structural capabilities inherent in grain, and direction. Willow is being mechanically bent, and its desire to come back into its original shape is being used as spring to create strength in the structure, which certainly affects things. And wood is stronger when it is living, and still green... When it has moisture. Put aged, grey, dried wood into water, you just get mold and rot. But there's still a reason why some of the finest wood traditions in the world are also the ones advocating for oil and vinegar finishes which are onerous to maintain, and do not protect against everything. I think it may be important to point out that most of the wicker you've seen in your life has likely been a piece that has a mass produced past, focusing on look over function. I don't know if we're talking wage slave, or slave slave labor, or what, but if you've ever gotten into basketry, or making daisy crowns maybe you have a notion of what finessing the material looks, and feels like. It takes time, and a bit of care. The pieces aren't the same. That's supposed to be part of the character of the piece, which is something that's been lost in a big way. I'd challenge you to see wicker in a radically different way, such as in the work of Patrick Dougherty, Sue Kirk, Spencer Byles, and Phyllis Kudder Sullivan. Or to look at adjacent art forms, using materials like reed, bamboo, hazel, ash (in some cases), and juxtaposing ways of connecting wood, like birch bark boats and containers to start to get a broader idea of what wood like this can do, and what it is all about.

Good info EXCEPT: there are many polyester upholstery fabrics with very high double rub counts. Polyester can also be very soft (or not) - depends on how it is constructed. Not all polys are created the same. It happens to be an excellent choice for furniture. AND there are many tightly woven, nubby boucles that will last as long as any other fabric. It is the "medium or bigger looped" ones that can be a problem. I've been in the business for decades and feel having the correct info is important!
@ApricusInaros9 ай бұрын
I was wondering the same about bouclé fabric. If you have a bouclé with 35K martindale rating, that should be enough to last you at least 10 years to look good, if you care enough for your furniture and don't wear jewelry like a Christmas tree rubbing against the fabric every day. Or am I wrong and that martindale count needs to be higher for bouclé? My armchair is in bouclé, in what I perceive a rather tight woven structure (Vitra Grand Repos).

Btw, with carpeting, nylon increases durability. If you're genuinely on a budget, maybe you're buying secondhand so you can't check the testing the company did. If you have to or just want to get something synthetic, check that it has nylon in there or it will wear out pretty quick. Ive seen ads for polypropylene rugs also. No clue how good that is but its a new material that may or may not be durable.

Firstly, I ❤ you and the video. You are not afraid to tell the truth. Secondly: I couldn’t care less bathing on my BODY SOUP! I just love ❤my jets. My bathtub is 34 years old, and I am the only one who really uses it. So all the bacteria in it is mine. I do shower before going in. Or at least wash the parts that matter. 😂 I am a water lover, but I have a ocd about it that is smaller than my love for it. Lakes, ocean, pools, every body of water, I go in. And I always remember all the poop from animals and humans that are there. But, what can I do? Just build my immunity 😅 I have a spa in my pool for summer, and my bathtub for winter. My lower back is fine and dandy. Nothing like a jet massage after a long work day. Nevertheless, you are right. And I am jealous of your chair. It’s on my bucket list. Love from Brazil! I am an architect here, but I don’t do projects. I work as an architect in a bank. I analyze apartment buildings that we finance. But my creative side can be put down. So I follow people like you. And you are really fun to follow. I wish you all the best.

But Daddy, my mother who knew her fabrics said to always get wool with 10 or 20% polyester because "it wears better than 100% wool". Question: if a lamp shade should have no fabric then what should it be made from? From the '70's, they had those shades that looked like a beer can in proportion, which is what I need for a floor lamp because I don't want to be able to see the bulb while standing up. Any suggestions besides get a different lamp? I put a shag rug under the bed, love the look there, but a B to clean, luckily my shark just barely keeps it from jamming, so I can at least vacuum it. Yes the dust is always a big surprise, as stated. 😛WTF? No nudity in this one?

@@mrphoenixgreyI wouldn’t want it in my house (associations with the shape of the top I don’t want in my furniture), but it’s quite dramatic looking. I like the stripe colors in the fabric.

It's more of a Beetlejuice chair to me, and I like it.

Akari lamps are not made of the same paper as others. Japanese washi paper can handle being cleaned. That said, I just use a duster. It's not an issue.

I don’t know why but I need to see something you design put into Sims 4. Idk about anyone else but personally if I did come into a ton of money I wouldn’t buy things I don’t need. And if it has any logo on it then it doesn’t belong in my living space, my living space is for comfort my clothes are for logos.
