Le Corbusier, Charles Eames, and Barcelona furniture or ur poor as fuck

>>12085250
I love Eames chairs but the sofas look hideous.

>>12085260
you're a pleb, they're still works of art and quintessential pieces of the Eames design language

>>12085273
Which Eames sofa are you talking about. One of the Eames sofas sold today wasn't even designed until the 60s, and wasn't even finished and released until after Charles Eames died.

I have a midcentury daybed that we use as a sofa, space is tight in manhattan

How do you feel about Steelcase Sieste hospital sleeper sofas?

I want to get one for maximum practicality and irony.

somebody redpill me on the importance of nice furniture and how it fits into the scope of a 20-something earning some money but not extravagant amounts pls

>>12085399
You don't need designer furnitures.

>>12085300
only if you're poor

>>12085399
same with fast fashion, if you're only buying ikea bullshit you're basic and you're wasting money on flimsy shit you're going to have to replace. Not to mention it's cheaper and more fun to get involved in estate sales/mid century stores/craigslist to find things you'll have forever and really love rather than some flat pack cookie cutter interior.

Worst thing you can do with your money.

>>12085399

Quality and nice design matters, judge for yourself. Brand name doesn't matter. If you can get some decent quality replicas of the classics then do that. If you can get a shelf from IKEA that you feel isn't going to fall apart with the way you plan on using it, buy that. If you can find some sweet shit second hand and do it up yourself, do that. If you want to make something yourself, do that.

Don't listen to these dudes shilling x thousand dollar furnitures that they don't own. Design is for everyone.

>>12085577

Some IKEA shit is bad for sure. Don't think I'd buy a kitchen table from there, for example, or another desk. But some of their designs are classics in their own right at this point. Lack and Poäng are classics to me.

Depends how heavy your usage is going to be.

It's ghastly beyond words. It's based on a Quinze and Milan couch which looks awful too.

Does anyone have a good guide for identifying well made high quality furniture? I can tell if a sofa feels sturdy and get a good idea for upholstery quality, but I've got no idea how to tell if the frame is good quality or not.

You plan on going backpacking with that sofa?

This is something that I've always hated about designer furniture. Yeah it looks cool and all but you know what, I mostly just want to sit in it wearing sweatpants. Too bad it just had a stubby asymmetrical back.

There must be a way to be comfy and fashionable.

>>12094079
I'd say: buy a comfy couch, used, and get it reupholstered with an /fa/ fabric

What's the deal with the huge depths on sofas and chairs these days? There's no way to sit with your back against it bend your knees so they touch the floor. It's like they're designing all furniture for Shaq.
