Object of desire

OK, here's mine. Le Cobusier's chaise longue. The original, from the Bauhaus.

Why? Well the design is perfect & it looks mightily comfortable.
It would be the only piece of furniture in a perfectly-sized room ... not another thing in there, apart from a well chosen plant, perhaps. The room would have no other distracting features, would be painted a neutral off-white colour & have polished floorboards. A quiet place, lit by sunlight, for thinking, reading & meditation ... Perfect!

like Deb - I'm longing for a place down the coast. I've just spent a week at my friend's place - and, while he's happy for me to use it (which makes it cheap for me!) - I'd just love one of my own.

Preferably on that part of the coast, Kiama - just south of Sydney. I used to go down there well before he bought the apartment. It's a seaside town, sitting near a beautiful bit of countryside. Great beaches, often almost empty

I'm wondering who you'd actually negotiate with to achieve this, David.

I wouldn't mind sharing a dog. I'm home a lot--except when I'm not.

I have this strong feeling, margo, that you are actually going to achieve this.
What do you reckon are the chances?

You actually have one, margo?

And you've banished it to the spare room?

I know I said I wanted the actual original Bauhaus model that Le Corbusier's hands had actually touched <sigh> .. but heck, I'd settle for a replica! (which was actually the point of his designs .. good factory-made replicas.)

Half ya luck.

I'm jealous.

I really hope your cat is not sharpening its claws on it, margo.

Good one Calamity Jane. Do you have a favorite or preferred neighborhood?

I'd prefer being an Upper Eastsider/Yorkeviller.
