elephant:

springbok is an antelope from Africa ... national symbol for South Africa ... and the name of some of their sporting teams ... but I am sure he means the skin of the animal

and slip-covered means that the skin slides over the existing cushions - like a fitted sheet on a bed or a pillow case/slip on a pillow

Thanks

Hi Nmartin,

I did send you by email a photo of my corbusier.

Thanks cooldude !

In which color you have Le Corbusier ? Amazing chair, even is more amazing when you realized that have been made 88 years ago !

What is "slip-covered in springbok" ? (my English is not so god )

But get rid of Le Corbusier chair .... that would be a crime !

I agree: beautiful chair! Works great with the speakers.

Hey Nikola

Your place looks great !!

Getting rid of the Corbusier lounger is indeed a crime , lol .
It's as iconic as the Beovision 1 and the beolab 8000's imho.s

(Yes I do have the same corbusier lounger and is now slip-covered in springbok hide to bring it up to date and protect the original leather..)

Lovely place .... wish mine would be anything even close to that ..... I had the regular table lamp version of the same artemide light but I changed these for the older TIZIO model.

If you ask me, you should get rid of that black chair and move the couch and coffee table forward.

Interesting.... moving lounger little bit forward....

What an absolutely lovely light on the ceiling! Looks as if you can actually move it from the table to the chairs? Fantastic!

You should be able to get one of those from:

Take a skim around, if you want to replicate this look, this place is a good start. No, it's not my company!! Just a good source of 'designer' home furniture.

Try also this : www.nest.co.uk

Really nice store!

Dont you just love the look of the BV1. I got one in my bedroom and can't stop drooling over it!

IMHO BV1/BC1 is the last real B&O design icon, when we speak about TV design !

Absolutely brilliant !

I agree I agree!!
