| | Wild colonial tallboy - Money - Business - Home - theage.com.au |
| | There were still good-quality pieces, but he believes the earlier furniture had more charm because it was hand-made and distinctive. | | | Colonial furniture expert Andrew Simpson, of Simpson's Antiques in Woollahra, says that as a rule the earlier a piece was made, the more valuable it is, "but sometimes a plain, simple side table with hardly any decoration from 1820 may not be as desirable to collectors as something that's got more decoration from 1835". | | | Plenty of lovely furniture ended up in backyard sheds or was chopped up for firewood, which, of course, makes what remains all the rarer. |

| | Amazon.com: Books: The Book of Shaker Furniture |
| | Shaker writings reveal that in the formative years furniture, including beds, was in short supply. | | | All of the photos are black and white, which at first, struck me as odd -- but Mr Kassay highly successfully uses this medium to help convey the grace, simplicity and sleekness of the Shaker's furniture. | | | While the information is fairly common among the books about the Shaker's and their furniture, it makes his book a complete reference for new comers and for people who have only room on their shelf and budget for one book. |

| | SatieMart: MHS CD with Furniture Music |
| | On the other hand, the academic music librarian is assured that the bulk of the works on this disc are not to be had elsewhere, and that the performances are uniformly clean, fully adequate realizations of the composer's intentions. | | | With a test pressing and no sleeve-notes to work on, there are uncertainties here, but this very interesting LP is apparently called "Musiques Répétitives/Phase Musics", and the idea was to bring together those of Satie's works that use techniques of conspicuous repetition. | | | The full musical content of each piece is expressed in a few bars, marked to be repeated ad libitum. |

| | Ambient Music |
| | Eno modeled his compositions after Erik Satie's M usique D'Ameublement (Furniture or Furnishing Music), 1920, useful music that did not demand one's complete attention, but existed in the room like furniture. | | | Nevertheless, we must bring about a music which is like furniture-a music, that is, which will be part of the noises of the environment, will take them into consideration. | | | Unfortunately, patrons got so creeped-out over his compositions that the regular background music had to be restored. |

| | Oddly, it was World War II and the conflict between Noguchi's two homelands — not to mention a love affair with the beautiful young niece of Indian leader Jawaharlal Nehru — that finally brought him into his own as a sculptor. | | | Known primarily as a stone sculptor, he also applied his skills to landscape and furniture design, functional ceramics, dance sets and photography. | | | Until his death in 1988, he remained a restless world traveler, obsessive creator, meticulous craftsman and renowned womanizer, who once got chased from Frida Kahlo's bed at gunpoint by her enraged husband, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (no slouch himself when it came to seduction). |

| | Ken Vandermark: Furniture Music |
| | “Nevertheless, we must bring about a music which is like furniture — a music, that is, which will be part of the noises of the environment, will take them into consideration.” — Erik Satie | | | By creating a solo music based on “typologies” (borrowing a term used by the Bechers for one of their photo collections) which represented open patterns, I was quickly able to develop a series of workable pieces. | | | If I played without compositional materials it seemed to me that I was delving into territory better realized by the musicians who had developed the ideas in the first place. |
