‘good vibration’ revisited
Here is a follow-up to the story in our last issue on the prehype buzz for Ferruccio Laviani’s Good Vibration cabinet that debuted at Spring’s Salone del Mobile design fair in Milan, Italy. The finished piece certainly has the vibe of the publicity picture.
moser chairs at the bush library
The Harpswell Chair, by Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers was front stage at the opening of the George W. Bush Library and Museum, located in Dallas, TX. A set of the American Black Cherry chairs provided seating for the five living American Presidents and their spouses, at last April’s Dedication Ceremony. The furnituremaker in Auburn, ME was commissioned to make about 60 pieces for the complex, including 20 Harpswell chairs, 15 research desks, 12 benches, eight conference room tables, and a large proctor’s desk. Kittinger Furniture Co. of Buffalo, NY was given the task of recreating the furnishings for the Library’s replication of the Oval Office. They also were commissioned to create furnishings for the new movie White House Dawn.
music with a wood tone
This is not likely to become a big seller, but Amanda Ghassaei of instructables.com has created the first laser-cut wooden record out of Maple (right). Using an Epilog 120 Watt Legend EXT, the laser cuts at approximately 120 dpi, and the sampling rate is 4.5 KHz. Since the grooves are 10 times the width of a vinyl LP, each side can hold only 3 minutes of recording. Songs are recognizable, but it might make a better decorative sculpture instead.
