Should have white balanced this one, methinks it may be too yellow.

Macro of the grain of a leather chair. the stitching is striking, in my own humble opinion.

The Cathedral of Learning, a local and national landmark, is the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The main part of the Cathedral's first floor is the Commons room, a Gothic-style hall that covers half an acre and extends upwards four stories. The room was a gift of Andrew Mellon. It is a piece of true Gothic architecture; no steel supports were used in the construction of its arches.

The Wassily chair was designed by Marcel Breuer. This reproduction is made out of tubular pre-stressed, pre-buffed high gauge steel 13/16" chrome. The metal is polished to a perfect mirror like finish. This chair features clean, seamless joints, and hidden drilled or countersunk holes. Seat, back and armrests are made of imported Italian double hide full leather. All of the edges and straps are fully laminated, treated and matched surfaces
This is probably one of the most famous pieces of Bauhaus furniture. Its formal and classic character brings atmosphere to any home or office. Breuer made this comfortable chair for his friend, the painter Wassily Kandinsky, while he was teaching at the Bauhaus Academy. Hence the name! As daring and fresh as Kandinsky’s paintings, the Wassily Chair remains an astonishing work. Its strong, spare lines express all the industrial heroism and engineering invention of the new architecture. While formal and classic, its animated character brings life to any residence or office
In spirit and stature, the Breuer Wassily has few equals. Marcel Breuer may not be as famous as his modernist contemporaries Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, but he was certainly as brilliant a furniture designer, maybe even more so. The Wassily Chair (1925), the first bent tubular-steel chair ever, is a case in point; all first tries should be this good.
Frame: Triple chrome steel
Leather: Thick Italian saddle leather
Size: 31"W x 30"D x 29"H; Seat Height: 12"-17"; Seat Width: 18"

French Classic Furniture

A LITTLE HISTORY IN MODERN DESIGN
From the end of the 17th century mirrors and their frames became an increasingly important part of decorating the home. Frames were largely used to reflect the general taste of the time. Ivory, silver, olive wood, tortoise shell all made their marks throughout time but were replaced whenever the trends changed as frames were much cheaper to produce than the mirrors themselves. By the 19th century the french started producing circular mirrors usually framed by extensively complex Neoclassical gilded wood carvings.

The undeniable presence these earlier mirrors created has been somewhat lost over the years. Modern day mirrors are often thought of as something to simply provide a reflection and the object itself has become less important. A mirror's commanding presence was the result of the sweat, blood and hours of skilled craftsmen who created master works impossible to reproduce today. The Diamond Mirror hopes to regain some of the power from its glory days using newer techniques and less blood. (Same amount of sweat.)

YOU'LL LOOK BETTER THAN EVER, GUARANTEED
Most glass and mirror produced today are filled with mineral impurities, namely iron, which cause a deep green tint. While most noticeable on it's edge it's also visible on the entire face of the glass causing the reflection of your skin, your hair, your walls and everything around you to have a slightly green muddy tint.

The Diamond Mirror is made from laboratory quality glass of the highest optical clarity and backed with an impossibly thin layer of pure silver. Unobscured by mineral impurities within the glass the Diamond Mirror provides more light transmission which in turn results in a reflection that is actually brighter, clearer and more vivid. Often referred to as optically white, the Diamond Mirror quite literally reflects your true colors.

THE CUT IN CUTTING EDGE
Simplicity is never what it seems. It's often cloaked by complex and demanding side effects. The 16 facets are cut and polished by hand requiring the absolute precision of a master glass beveler. To achieve the subtleties of the glass, some bevels have to be cut with a difference of less than half a degree. Imagine splitting an atom, it's something like that.

PHYSICAL ATTRACTION
To truly present itself the Diamond Mirror had to rethink it's mounting system. Modern high tech magnetics offered the perfect solution.

The Diamond Mirror is mounted by attaching a supplied steel plate to your wall. Then with its magnetic backing the mirror simply and gracefully clings to your wall. The mirror is held perfectly flat and remarkably secure and flush to the wall. In doing so, it resists all causal or accidental bumps along the way but can still be removed with a little tug in the right places. The magnetics are made to last many lifetimes and are engineered to provide just the right amount of attraction. They system allows the mirror to be leveled and adjusted up to 5 inches in any direction to fine tune its placement. You'll never worry about studs again.
