In 1744 Heppewhite, said, "To unite elegance and utility, and blend the useful with the agreeable, has ever been considered a difficult, but an honourable task." And there's the "Form follows function dictum." "Beauty walks a razor's edge, some day I'll make her mine" (Dylan said that.)
Lots of minds want straight lines, but most bodies don't. I like wood. It's wondrous. The medium has massage.
Richard is based in Brisbane.

Go on… you know you want to touch it. Please, be my guest. How does it feel? Now get down close and soak up the aromas. Open the doors. Now open the drawers. Go on. Pull them out. Don’t drop them! Look at those dovetails. Hand cut. Now step back and really look at it. If you don’t like it, that’s alright. But if you do, then welcome to my world.
