Doorway To Nostalgia

I get nostalgic pretty easily.. sometimes its a rainy evening or a whiff of a perfume, sometimes, something I've eaten, or a rarely spoken phrase, sometimes its a song and sometimes a scene from a movie...it could be a mail, a call, a card, a letter.. and then sometimes, its furniture..

Well, with furniture that has never actually happened before, but when I saw this by Haldane Martin, it took me back to days that can only be categorized as, 'way-back-when', to my grandfather's house where furniture like this was all over the place!

Atleast the chair anyway! Y'all know what am talking about?

Not all of his collection got me nostalgic though! Some of these pieces are really contemporary, modern and very, very minimal! And, really pretty cool.

Whether inciting nostalgia, or vibing 'futuristic', the furniture sure had a way of transporting you to a different time and place! Definitely worth a dekho.

So yeah, the chair in the second picture is something my grandparents owned as well ! Really funny!
And as far as the "pink" whatever chair is..I don't like it much..its as it something knitted a huge Umberella top and somewhat made it into a chair. This is totally my opnion.

I didn't see it that way, lol!! But they are futuristic and minimal and you'd be surprised how many people would go for it!
