eames chairs

i absolutely adore the design of the eames shell chairs and find myself asking do i buy the knockoff that looks exactly the same? or do 1 go and pay around $250 and up for the original versions? is it about aesthetics or authenticity? i've always been caught in the middle as i totally appreciate originality and workmanship, but my wallet has other beliefs.

after seeing this movie. i've made my decision, i will save up and get the genuine goods. 

this video is amazing all that hard work and labour, how much thought and planning that went into the design, how meticulous the measurements and details are, i could go on but ultimately without a doubt the eames chairs are worth every penny - - when i'll actually see one in my living room.... it might be a while. 

(thanks to w. for first showing me the film)

happy new year, chinese styles...

gung hay fat choy! i think my year has officially started now. consuming as many of these little sugar mandarins as i can is how i am going to celebrate. this year, will be about learning. going to learn how to cook classic spanish food. the best paella ever! and im learning mandarin and prepping for a new part time job... 

it all begins now! 

i will be updating this blog a lot more frequently than the last couple months. i feel bad but i don't think many people are actually reading anyways so i'll officially let that be my get out of jail free card. 

so happiness, health, fortune and good friends to you all.
