In zilele noastre oamenii regasesc mobilierul din aceasta perioada, si daca vorbim de ce se intampla in Europa sau Statele Unite, se cumpara online de pe platforme de licitatii gen eBay, sau se achizitioneaza reproduceri sau reintrepretari ale modelelor recunoscute de mai demult. Daca vorbim de Regatul Unit, unul din centrele de baza in materie de designul in mobilier, stilul modern a devenit la moda dupa "Festival of Britain" din 1951. Manifestarea a acordat oportunitatea celor mai buni designeri, sa expuna un design nou si captivant, pentru publicul dornic de schimbare. In anii 50, multimea si-a modificat preferintele de la stilul classic la cel modern. Ceea ce era considerat modern acum este incadrat la retro. Stilul retro este o modalitate de a-ti face apartamentul sa detina un aer distinctiv, fata de aspectul "do it yourself" promovat de Ikea, pe care mai toata lumea il adopta. Cu precadere in strainatate, mai putin in Romania, unde trendul retro este foarte pronuntat mobila facuta dupa modele notorii este disponibila in numeroase magazine. Daca nu vrei sa platesti pretul de designer, atunci designul original in mobila din anii 50 si 60 este disponibil pe magazinele de pe intenet gen eBay. Ia singur decizia ce este un design bun, nu oricare produs de mobila moderna din anii 50 si 60 a fost. Urmariti produsele cu forme necomplicate precum commode joase cu decoratii minime. Deseori daca arata bine, este un design potrivit. Daca proportiile nu se pastreaza nu il cumparati. Urmariti produsele de mobila in finisaj de nuc, teak sau palisandru. Palisandrul are un model de fibra curbata si diferita. Deseori acesta este confundat cu lemnul de mahon sau cu lemnul de sapele. Ultimele au un model al fibrei mai putin curbat, ceea ce le face mai putin aparte si nimerite stilului retro. Cateva marci notorii pe plan international din anii 50 si 60 sunt: G-Plan, Stag, Ercol, Austinsuite si Nathan. G-Plan a fost un deschizator de drumuri in designul modern al acelei vremi. Stag i-a angajat pe John si Syvia Reid, pentru a crea cateva produse de mobila deosebite. Cea mai binecunoscuta colectie a acestora a fost Ministrel - o reinterpretare din secolul XVII, pentru timpurile moderne. Ercol este un fabricant care a produs piese de mobilier simple si moderne, de obicei din lemn de ulm englezesc. Articolele acestor nume sunt scumpe. Atunci cand vreti sa va incardrati in buget, interesati-va de piesele realizate de producatori romani sau daca va permiteti sa le luati de fara si sa platiti transportul uitati-va dupa mobila scandinava sau marci precum Gordon Russell, Archie Shine ori Younger. Acestea vor fi mai accesibile decat unele asemanatoare ale designerilor de top. Asadar urmariti produsele de mobila care va atrag, decat cele care ganditi ca sunt mai scumpe.

Granny Square Crochet  By : Tambia Jackson With the renewed interest in crochet, brought about because of being used in fashion statement clothing, and the evergreen interest in anything antique, vintage, or nostalgic, - most easily recognizable in the patchwork quilting phenomenon - there has also come a growing interest in crochet in general, and the making of rugs, shawls, throws, etc. in the style commonly called 'Granny Square Crochet'. This much-loved style of crochet is arguably the most universally recognized crochet motif around the world. Its popularity stems from the facts that it is made from very basic stitches and is therefore quick and easy, it is small, very portable, quick, and uses up bits of yarn left over from other projects. When the motifs are joined together the end result is a very practical, colorful and cosy article which looks and feels very special and yet was both easy and very cost effective to make. Adapted from the much finer and more complex crochet patterns brought by the early European settlers to America, which of course were also time-consuming, granny square crochet became the lifestyle crochet at a time when practicality and usefulness were much more necessary to everyday life, and indeed survival, than fine and intricate beauty was. Which is not to say that granny square crochet is not beautiful, because it most certainly does have a beauty all its own. With its wonderful colors, patterns and textures it has aesthetic beauty, but it also has an ethereal beauty, too, or 'soul' - the ability to touch our hearts, perhaps because it connects us with the 'humanness' of the ones who made it, and also because it is so practical. Granny square rugs, shawls and throws are 'comfort' articles. They are also very satisfying to make. Crochet Beginner - Moving Forward  By : Tambia Jackson So you want to know how to crochet?
