DetailsChairs by Architects FREE Shipping on orders over . “This is a book to savor in a favorite chair. Maybe you’ll even find the one you’re sitting in reflected in its pages: Now I Sit Me Down is charmingly illustrated with postage-stamp-size images of many of the chairs discussed―all drawn with obvious care by the author.” ―Henry Petroski, The Wall Street Journal“Rybczynski adds another delightful volume to an already impressive shelf of books notable for formidable learning worn lightly and an infectious fascination with the way we craft the built environment . . .
His prose has the engagingly conversational tone of an accomplished lecturer. You needn’t be a student of architecture or design to enjoy Now I Sit Me Down, but you will certainly come away knowing a lot more about the practices and principles that shaped chairs throughout history.” ―Wendy Smith, The Boston GlobeThe book is a slim, insightful introduction to the piece of furniture that shapes not only the way we sit, but the way we live, too.” ―Mark Medley, The Globe and Mail“Whether describing the Egyptian stool or its surprising descendant, the Hollywood director’s chair, Rybczynski elegantly sums up the social trends and technological innovations that have conspired to change the way we sit . . . There is a tactile quality to the writing.” ―Amanda Kolsen Hurley, Architect Magazine"[Rybczynski is] a refreshing voice on the design writing scene.” ―MiChelle Jones, The Dallas Morning News“With wit, scholarship and perspective, Witold Rybczynski's history of chairs and how we use them is a pure delight.” ―Shelf Awareness(starred review)"Who knew sitting was so complicated?
Rybczynski . . . has a special knack for making everyday objects and ideas seem captivating, in part because he places them in a larger historical narrative. In his telling, the chair becomes a seemingly immortal character traveling, Forest Gump-like, through the vicissitudes of our shared history.” ―Doug Childers, Richmond Times-Dispatch“The chair becomes anything but everyday in Rybczynski’s discerning history . . . A worthy addition to Rybczynski’s well-regarded oeuvre, this cultured examination should be read in one’s favorite reading chair.” ―Booklist (starred review)“Rybczynski is totally engaging in this smoothly flowing, sharp, witty narrative―another winner from a top-notch writer on design.” ―Kirkus Reviews“[A] detailed and comprehensive history of the chair . . . .Rybczynski’s relentless curiosity is easily transferred to the reader as he astutely zeroes in on the details of what makes a chair design special or significant. This latest contribution from Rybczynski serves as further evidence that he is one of the best writers on design working today.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

How Architecture Works: A Humanist's Toolkit Home: A Short History of an IdeaAnother sneak peek of our patio space! I know, I’m such a tease. Anyways in the last post about the outdoor sofa makeover, I talked about how we wanted to do this patio makeover on a budget. Enter ugly beat up plastic chairs that I found at a local thrift store for a few measly dollars. I knew with a little TLC & some spray paint that these babies would be as good as new & be a great addition to our patio makeover.
And actually these chairs are pretty heavy & are very sturdy so it was a great deal. I hope this post makes you think twice about passing up some ugly plastic furniture at your local thrift store or inspires you to paint some plastic furniture of your own! So you have a not so pretty plastic piece of furniture. It’s so easy to give it a makeover that it would be a sin not to make it pretty! 1- wash the entire surface of the plastic piece of furniture. I like using windex or vinegar and water to clean with. I feel like it gets all of the dirts & oils completely off the surface which will allow the paint to adhere better to the plastic. 2- You can choose to prime if you want to. I don’t prime when painting plastic. One, because I’m lazy & I don’t feel like it’s necessary. I have never had a problem with paint coming off of my plastic pieces when I don’t prime. Plastic is an absorbent material and any kind of spray paint works very well in my opinion. But, if you do want to prime, you can use kilz or rust-oleums oil based primers for extra security that your paint will last & go on smooth.
My favorite spray paint to use is Rust-oleum (and no this post is not sponsored, but hey what’s up rust-oleum! I like your product!) I feel like for plastic and outdoor pieces in general it’s very durable and long lasting. I especially love the hammered textured series because it hides flaws & really leaves no room for error.Let your piece dry until it’s out in the weather conditions, but really now you have a beautiful “new” piece of furniture that you can be proud of and that will make your outdoor space look like a whole new area!
