C 24
January 11, 2012
Nothing says simple…quiet…modern like the c 24 wishbone chair by Hans Wegner. The appeal has stayed the same since it’s introduction in 1949. Of the seemingly endless number of painted and stained finishes available today, this soaped oak with the natural woven paper seat is my hands down choice. Perfect used singly as the occasional pull up, I have my eyes set on a group for dining on this enclosed porch…simple table TBD. wegnerwishbonechair.com has anything and everything you could need to know about the c 2

I thought my sticks were going to ignite as I worked to complete this in time for Christmas giving. Done and done. A simple triangular scarf combining Habu Silk Wrapped Stainless with Plymouth Baby Alpaca Lace. I love the modern result.
Until next year…

when we carefully unpack these vintage gems again…wondering about the families they came from, each Christmas they brightened and the “sophisticate” who was so fashion forward as to select PINK as their Christmas color story in 1950 something. Do you suppose there were pink toothpicks in the cheese cubes as well? I know there was at least some pink champagne…and hey, champange of any color works for me.

All the leaves are brown…and the sky is gray. Must be why I was attracted to this skein of Berroco Boboli. Multi colored? Wha? Add some cashmere, linen, merino and hemp…swatch it up and hope for the best. The result looks surprisingly woven, not unlike some great textured Mid Century textile produced by the likes of Knoll or Herman Miller. Mad as I might sometimes be…no, I will not be knitting enough fabric to cover a chair. I’m guessing a blanket once it’s on the sticks. Stay tuned.
