This book contains a lovely collection of vintage woodwork patterns for the making of furniture for the home. Including such items as 'A Table For the Television', a 'Kitchen Corner Cabinet' and a 'Four Foot Garden Seat', this book ensures that any handyman can beautifully furnish their home.
Description Compiled by Group monomono, a Tokyo-based team of woodcraft experts, this book presents 24 projects to build simple, practical wooden furniture for the home, based on designs originally published in 1953 by the industrial design group KAK. The book begins with a profile of KAK and its influence in industrial design and other fields, including woodworking. The authors cover the topics of tools and basic tool techniques, and explain structural concepts such as how bracing works to prevent deforming and how cutting a notch in one component and then fixing the members together can add strength to a structure. Projects to build chairs, tables and storage units range in skill level from beginner to advanced. Each project includes an indicator of complexity, tools and materials lists, scale drawings, step-by-step instructions supplemented with color photos, and an image of the project as it appeared in the original publication. An excellent selection of projects for DIYers and woodworkers of all skill levels, and an informative read for anyone interested in historical aspects of Japanese design. Softcover, 8" × 10", 182 pages, 2022.

French decorating can be sparse or lushly layered, but it is always attractive.French furniture spans many styles and periods. Even modern chic French interiors often include pieces from a number of periods, including Baroque, Regency, Rococo and Empire---perhaps even with a bit of Art Nouveau and Art Deco tossed in the mix. Collect antiques, or good reproductions, in historical French styles. Mix them all together, as if you inherited several centuries' worth of family pieces. Don't be afraid to add a few modern touches, like a contemporary sofa covered in plush velvet or an abstract painting. The French have cornered the market on all that is chic, sassy and stylistic, so it comes as no surprise that people around the world work diligently at replicating their style.The French are about simplicity and love neutral tones that feel comfortable, as well as vogue, bolder tones for chic looks. Black is usually the primary accenting color for the chic look but be wary of not over using it because the French look should not be too dark.Color schemes vary, but classic combinations include black and white, white on white, and the pale palette of white, cream, light gray, pink, pale butter yellow and French blue.For deeper color, use combinations of deep rose, red, bottle green, ochre, peacock blue and black. Go easy on bold prints like plaid and stripes and if you must have them, do so sparingly as they take away from the romantic look you are trying to obtain.
