apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Obviously, you never owned a This End Up or Cargo sofa. All I can think of is: my aching bones! Definitely not my cup of tea.

Agreed with madampince, my parents had This End Up furniture in the living room my entire life. It's not terribly comfortable and it looks like it belongs in a dorm room.

My proudest moment when I moved into my own place was getting a "normal" couch that didn't have any exposed wood aside from the feet. *bliss*

Looks like something made in woodshop class. Not for me.

nuts to them -- it looks great. I'd build one if I had the space...

I adore this couch!

Thanks Jeanine,

I want to change my last name to Eek.

A long time ago, in my first apartment, I thought it would be unique and adequate to build furniture along this style, but nothing anyone else would have wanted! I didn't have any tools, so thank god. I also sold furniture for a living at the time and was sleeping on a mattress I'd had since I was seven. I guess, random?

I don't get this plywood as an honest material. It's sheets of wood glued together to make a thicker piece of wood, so what about the thicker piece of wood is less honest? It would be guileless if someone made this for themselves, as I once was about to do. It's cheapened by the fact that someone thinks this is something of an artistic statement, avant garde, you have to get it or else you don't get it. It's even worse that you didn't think of it yourself and now you want a copy by your carpenter, Guy.

i agree about the copy thing. this is why it's so hard to be a designer, of any form. ppl see your work, like it, but then want to copy it instead.

Can the plywood fad please die? mkthxbye.
