Eggs

From my childhood I have a red Arne Jacobsen egg chair by Brio with matching footstool (See it in use here) and last year I was so lucky to get one of the new egg chairs made by Minimii from Cocco. The size of the chair from Minimii is: Height 6,69cm Debth: 4,94cm Width: 5,38cm and is 1:16 according to Minimii. I have searched the net to find the size of the fullscale Egg chair and found it is Height 107cm, the Debth is 79cm and the Width is 86cm. So Minimii's chair is a perfect 1:16 scale. (3/4" scale)
My old Brio chair is slightly larger, the Height is about 7.5cm which means the scale is about 1:14.

On popular demand (I hope you read this Cocco :-)) I have taken pictures of the two chairs together to show you the difference. Click on the photos to enlarge them.

Coming out of the closet - as one shelf

ENG: Polly Line has bought some new furniture on ebay; a closet and a small table. And a little makeover converted the closet into a much needed bookshelf for her living room. The table isn't finished yet. She has also received the new furniture she was waiting for, new dining room chairs and table, (she had borrowed the table and chairs she had used until now) and her new sofa by Annina, which she has bought at Spook House. She's very proud of her sofa! She has also bought some of the furniture used in the Stavanger exhibition; the purple egg chair and the agate table.

NOR: Polly Line har kjøpt noen nye møbler fra ebay; et skap og et lite bord. Med enkle midler ble skapet forvandlet til en etterlengtet bokhylle til stua. Bordet er ikke ferdig ennå. Hun har også fått de nye møblene sine; nytt spisebord og stoler (hun hadde bare lånt dem hun hadde brukt til nå) og hennes nye Annina designsofa, som hun har kjøpt i Spook House. Hun er veldig stolt av den! Hun har også kjøpt noen av møblene brukt på Stavangerutstillingen; den lilla eggstolen og agatbordet.

ENG: Before and after. NOR: Før og etter

ENG: Polly Line has had problems finding art work she likes, so she has tried putting up some photo wallpaper instead (with a matching lamp!) We'll see how long that lasts...

This time of the year, it's daylight just for a few hours, so it's not easy taking good pictures. Some of them was taken after the sun set.

NOR: Polly Line har hatt problemer med å finne bilder hun liker til stua, så derfor har hun prøvd seg med fototapet istedet (med matchende lampe!) Vi får se hvor lenge det varer...

Dining room table is made with a combination of two different Re-ment tables. Agate table by me. Plant by the window by Christel Jensen. Accessories are Re-ment, beads, Treefeathers and random finds. "Photo paper" is a page from a magazine.

Helmer's study

ENG: This is the study in Nora and Helmers house, mostly occupied by Helmer. But I haven't yet found out what he really does there, except listening to his records or playing his guitar.

NOR: Her er kontoret i Nora og Helmers hus, oftest brukt av Helmer. Men jeg har ennå ikke helt funnet ut av hva han gjør der, bortsett fra å lytte på platene sine eller spille på gitaren.


Som meg, har Helmer dilla på pingviner.

ENG: Like me, Helmer has a thing for penguins.
This one he found in a tourist shop in Paris.



















NOR: Rommet med og uten overlys. Under er Helmer på plass ved pc-en.
ENG: Daylight through the ceiling window. Underneath we see Helmer at his computer.
