What goes around

This kind of shoe style was once very fashionable – and is now ready for a new round again.

I guess I have to admit that I’m probably a bit of a dinosaur. It’s to a large extent that what was once, still appeals to me.
I like the feeling an old beautiful gramophone, let it be vintage or classic timeless style. It’s the raspy sound whit the disc & needle. Including the sound that feels authentic & genuine. It’s a lot of listening when we are gathered as family – seems like everyone
is keen on old traditions. (the gramophone is an old habit, a must during holidays when we have more time).

Gramophone

Our gramophone pops up at various family celebrations.

Then the records are played & new ones have been purchased for the occasion.

Sound quality discussions & conversations starts about how genuine & authentic this is compared with the mass industry – by our sons – who then forgets the whole thing until the next family gathering.

Unique pieces

Vintage pieces that are unique these days.

Relatively large, clumsy or coarse in design as it was at the time, and perhaps perceived as unattractive, but oh how beautiful they are in the right environment.

Comfortable

So today I felt for a post with some armchairs in different styles & shapes. That’s after a rather uncomfortable evening in a restaurant with great interior, great food & great people. It was decorated with small, small table, stools & armchairs with a mix of old & new – very nice & inviting environment albeit slightly dark. The thing is that it looked really nice which is a big part of an experience but once you’ve been sitting for a while, you feel it in your whole body.

The armchairs are too high for the low coffee tables or opposite & the tables are too small for more than two & you have to bend or lean to reach for things. It became way too uncomfortable after a while. It’s great with inspiring places & it’s nice when it looks stylish, cool or different. It’s just that I’m always impressed when it’s combined with functionality – when someone have taken the time to think through everything.
