HOME COOKING
Some consider their dining room a waste
of space. Whereas others feel that gathering
together for a meal is the highlight of their
day. Many youngsters adore open floorpans
that insure all are involved in getting dinner
on the table. While older or wiser types keep
the key ingredients involved hidden behind
closed doors. One thing is certain. Which is
that no matter where, when, or how we dine -
having a place to sit and perch one's meal is
invaluable. No wonder dining chairs are our
most popular item. We simply can't seem to
have enough of them.
As best when preparing any repast, it's smart
to mix things up when setting one's table. In
a world where diversity rules, former dictums
about having a matched set of table and chairs
are long gone. Instead most of us combine bits
and pieces into one cohesive whole. Creating
a dining room where not only are memories
made, but kept. Hence your grandma's hand
me downs can take on a new life when paired
with a modern marvel. And much like all of
the tasty tidbits that will be dished out, a table
scape created from both new and old satisfies
one's appetite for redefining the tried and true.
Design is evolution. In the 1920s
Dane designer Frits Henningsen
reinterpreted classic furniture in
new ways. All hand crafted using
long lost traditional techniques.
The result was new yet somewhat
familiar. C+V HOME currently
has this mahogany dining table
a la Henningsen. Unsigned, it's
from an estate where the dining
chairs and sideboard carried his
label. Hence a "no-name" beauty
for a fraction of it's true cost.
Boris Tabakoff was a Bulgarian designer
based in Paris in the sixties and seventies.
In 1971 he designed the famed "Dumas"
chair for Mobile Modulaire Moderne. Its
molded for a single piece of Lexan - poly
carbonate plastic. That's not only lovely
to look at but amazingly comfortable to
sit upon. To be totally transparent many
hesitate planting themselves upon such
a work of art. Which may explain why
we still have four of these in Lewistown.
They look amazing with the Henningsen
table. A perfect example of now and zen.
James Bason is a painter based in
Great Falls, Montana. His most
popular works capture the beauty
of Big Sky Country. But recently
he decided to take a more abstract
approach. The result are a series
of large (48" x 48") works that if
nothing else causes one to take a
new look at all that Montana has
to offer. Isn't it's time you do just
that in your dining room? Even if
you can't cook, C+V HOME can
deliver style to go across the globe!
