Stone Lion to Ride On

October 17th, 2009 Bench, Location, Material, Off the Market, Other, Other/Unspecified, Stone, Type, Yonkers

This is a bit of an unconventional object.  They are meant to be garden decoration but I want to frame them as garden seating.  I want them to be physically used, and not just looked at.  Embedding them into a space, whether it is grass or concrete/tile would make them merge with the landscape.  Does anyone have an elegant method to show people that they should be utilized physically?  Maybe syncopate them within a set/pattern of stone benches.

Ethan Allen Wood and Slate Coffee Table

October 4th, 2009 Location, Manhattan, Material, New York, Off the Market, Other/Unspecified, Slate, Stone, Table, Type, Wood

I love the combination of stone and wood.  There’s a hard/soft, rigid/fluid dynamic that is incredibly appealing.  The slate on this table has beautiful texture.  I like that the stone has very prominent color variation.  This beautiful coffee table is being sold for $200, $300 less than what the seller said she paid for it.  This is a good price for such an elegant table.
