These Wonderful Simple Pieces Of Wooden Art Are For More Than Just Sitting On...

I love chairs. And I love wood.
I once had a collection of beautiful chairs but when I minimalised my life to live on a yacht the chairs became the victims of downsizing.
It was an ok thing to do.
I realised I couldn't collect all the beautiful chairs in the world so why have any. I could look, admire, love any chair in any art collection anywhere in the world without the need to own it.
And so, with all that in mind I bring you this collection of beautiful wooden chairs, some very wabi-sabi, that I've fallen in love with
in recent times.
I'm very happy that other people own them.
I just want to be able to look at them... 

A Simple Stone And Driftwood Teepee With Stunning Sea Views In New Zealand's Nelson Region...

Many folk build all sorts of 'inhabitable' shelters along the coastline of New Zealand but one creative soul has been working hard to construct this wonderful driftwood and stone teepee on the appropriately named Boulder Bank near Nelson. 
Driftwood poles for are used for the main structural supports and framing and carefully placed stones complete the lovely organic exterior cladding.
The interior is described as minimalist.
And well ventilated...

Have You Ever Heard Of A Dog-Trot House...

I'd heard of a dog-house and have been there often, but a dog-trot house?
Evidently, a dog-trot house, also called a breezeway, a dog-run or a possum-trot house was a style of house common throughout the south eastern United States in the late
nineteenth century.
It consisted of two cabins connected by a passageway under a common roof. One cabin would have been used for cooking and eating, the other for living and sleeping.
This little modernist dog-trot house in Ramseur, North Carolina, is a reincarnation of the Zachary House designed by architect Stephen Atkinson some years ago.
The cladding is corrugated iron or 'wrinkly tin' as the two owners, Terri Moffitt and Aushalom Caspi, both psychology professors at Duke University, like to call it. The same as they saw used extensively in New Zealand when they were conducting research in this country.
The interior of this little house is very minimalistic and beautiful and by no means a dog-house...
