NOMADIC FURNITURE-PA

Product Information

I was hoping that Nomadic Furniture would have more creative ideas in this same vein: cheap, attractive, and highly mobile options for someone with some woodworking skill and an eye for design. While such ideas definitely exist in this book (I gave it four stars, after all), they were in my opinion sparsely distributed.

Alongside numerous designs that can be made from wood using simple tools—such as the MAK-Table by the Italian group Recession Design—a major share of this young and flexible mode of home décor consists of objects fashioned from mass-produced, semi-finished wooden elements that can be found in any hardware store. The spectrum ranges from emphatically functional furniture to intricate lighting objects like those produced by the New York-based designer Lindsey Adelman. Designers like Jerszy Seymour and Matali Crasset also deal frequently with the diverse ways of developing furniture that can be built by the end-user. Over the past decade, the new opportunities of communication and participation represented by the Internet and Web 2.0 have taken DIY-cultural hype to a renewed feverpitch. DIY portals, communities, and blogs are booming, and designers, programmers, constructors of machines, and users are busy developing new Internet-capable modalities of designing and producing furniture and furnishing items. The principle motifs of the current DIY movement are an intense preoccupation with historical models and prototypes as well as the search for furniture that is low-cost and formally pleasing, as numerous international examples in this exhibition serve to document.

I used the handheld circular saw for all of these cuts, but a miter saw would have helped immensely (which is why I asked for one for Christmas). The 1x2s support the wings of the desktop while it is open. I used the "hhcs" for this as well, but would have preferred mitered ends...

The plan is to keep adding to this post. If you know of books and resources for cheap, easy to make, well designed furniture leave a comment. For every resource that I’ve mentioned there’s probably a dozen more. When possible I’ve linked to free pdfs or books you can borrow at the Internet Archive. The cables will be passing through the seams in the desktop and attaching to an eye-screw at each end. The top two will be screwed into the top Horizontal and the bottom two will be mounted to the underside of the main desktop piece.For those adventurers out there who spend a lot of time conquering terrains and who want to reward themselves with a seat overlooking some breathtaking scenery, the Nomadic Furniture series from Jorge Penadés will be right up your street and we here at The Coolector are definitely impressed with the innovation on show from the Spanish designer. However, it's still a very cool book, for the hobbyist carpenters and nomads out there. And even in the outrageous designs, there are key ideas that you can modify for your own creative uses. For example, this is one project that appears in the book: Open Structures is a similar modular concept by Brussels designer Thomas Lommée done with metal tubes and connectors. I find it a bit more aesthetically pleasing than the drilled 2×2 lumber in the Grid Beam system, but you’ll need to be handy with metal if you want to try to homebrew this.

was originally of my own design, but in the course of investigating various options for my design's specifics, I discovered this book: Nomadic Furniture. The book is not quite what I expected, nor exactly what the description would lead you to believe, but more about that in a moment. First let's talk about my bookshelves.Here we will be adding the supports for the wings to the main desk. The supports will be lined up with the pieces that were added to the frame. When evaluating contemporary DIY strategies, their historical development can be a particularly helpful context within which to do so. For in today’s era of digital modernity, this design phenomenon continues to encompass a field situated between the two poles of mainstream and alternative culture. Even if the cheaply printed handbooks of yore have been largely replaced by Web 2.0’s forums and blogs as the creative interface, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between self-affirmative fads and subversive criticism of consumption: these are two mutually contingent aspects of design and consumer culture.
