Scrapping furniture safety regulations will cost dozens of lives a year, warns fire union

Under the current rules – introduced as the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 – manufacturers must submit furniture to independent testing on flammability. The regulations are estimated to have saved between 50 and 70 lives per year.

But now the Westminster government has proposed scrapping these rules in favour of a voluntary regime. Consultation on the plans closed earlier this year and ministers are now considering proposals.

The union warned that the government was using the pretext of dealing with lithium batteries and other hazards to launch a dangerous programme of deregulation.

Couldn't find a small sofa whtin my budget and can't carry the second hand ones 6 floor up, so made one from wood pallets and cushions I found in the recycling bin of our apartment complex.

Just need to add a few more wood on the back, sand it, paint it and have it ready to be my thrown in the coming weeks and months!

Total cost 6 euros for long screws.!

I think I found an alternative to have a comfortable chair in my apartment!

Don't have money to buy new furniture, and can't buy used one because I can't carry them up 6 floor by myself.

But this might be the solution for me. 2 of these and I have a nice place to sit and relax.

I'm sure I can find enough #palettes for 2 chairs.

Zomaar een trein

Foto van paneel van meubel met onder meer een trein

São Paulo (SP) 2021

In het Braziliaanse São Paulo zag ik op een meubelstuk dit paneel met een trein op een brug. Het was trouwens een wat vreemd meubel, circusmeubel genoemd (móvel de circo). Het is in 1917 ontworpen door Pedro Antonio da Silva Pimentel. Het is een meubelstuk dat op meerdere manieren kan worden gebruikt. Ik zag het uitgeklapt als bed met commode. Zie de foto hieronder. Als laatste een (slechte) foto van internet, die de andere mogelijkheden laat zien.

Op de afbeelding (van internet) hieronder met de alle mogelijkheden van dit meubel: links als kaptafel, midden als bureau en tenslotte als bed (zoals hierboven). Als kaptafel is hij hier te zien op een betere foto, maar die kan ik niet overnemen.

How #SiliconValley helps spread the same sterile aesthetic across the world

source: https://www.theverge.com/2016/8/3/12325104/airbnb-aesthetic-global-minimalism-startup-gentrification

We could call this strange #geography created by #technology "AirSpace." It’s the realm of coffee shops, bars, #startup offices, and co-live / #work spaces that share the same hallmarks everywhere you go: a profusion of #symbols of comfort and quality, at least to a certain connoisseurial #mindset. Minimalist #furniture. Craft beer and avocado toast. Reclaimed wood. Industrial lighting. Cortados. Fast #internet.

...

This confluence of #style is being accelerated by companies that foster a sense of placelessness, using technology to break down geography. #Airbnb is a prominent example. Even as it markets unique places as consumable goods, it helps its users travel without actually having to change their environment, or leave the warm embrace of AirSpace.

Two Fender sofas in grey from True Design

Dezeen Showroom: the True collection by Italian brand True Design encompasses a range of ergonomic seating designed to be informal and adaptable to any interior space.

The True collection includes Fender, a family of sofas and armchairs with tubular steel frames and rounded edges that invite users to sit on their armrests.

Two Fender sofas in grey from True DesignFender is available as an armchair and in two sizes of sofa

"The place where the arm usually rests becomes an additional seat, a comfortable support to use the armchair in a more dynamic and informal way," said True Design.

"Sitting on the armrest is no longer a childish or impertinent gesture since it is made specifically to accommodate and sustain this."

Also featured in the True collection is Code, a range of ottomans that can be combined into different seating arrangements.

The Code poufs come in circular, square and triangular shapes and are also available with an optional backrest.
