If most men were decorators (Part Three) by Misterarthur
Please don’t get me wrong. Most of the best furniture designers in history were men: Mies, Noguchi, 1/2 of the Eames, Corbusier. But that doesn’t let us off the hook. Men are also responsible for some exceedingly odd, though enduring, designs, too. Case in point: The classic “Let’s saw a couple of logs into pieces, and voila, furniture”.
That bench will last forever. Who cares if it weighs 700 lbs? That’s why they make pickup trucks, dang it. Durabililty is important for men and design, I think. Men would be delighted to have this as a cocktail table, for example.
And why not? You can’t break it, and you could probably use it to move engine blocks around your (no doubt beautiful) garage, should that become necessary.
