Maker


The idea was so grand I couldn't even imagine it finished; if I wanted to see it in full I would actually have to make it.

Love your children


No society that loved its children would divorce them so completely from contact with soils, forests, streams, and wildlife. No society that loved its children would create places like the typical suburb or shopping mall. No society that loved its children would casually destroy real neighborhoods and communities in order to build even more highways... No society that loved its children would build more shopping malls than high schools. No society that loved its children would leave behind a legacy of ugliness...

Some help —


Little by little, as the adults around them become more confident, hopeful and secure, our children probably will, too.

Important and Importanter —


Posting on Reference Library is on hold.

Hurricane Sandy may have passed but the storm is just beginning. The situation around New York is not over and is in fact getting worse for many people. If you can't get someone food, water, candles, coats, gloves, bleach, gas, or a place to sleep then donate to the Red Cross. Don't forget that many people in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and parts of Pennsylvania are still hurting and in real need.


And don't forget to vote on Tuesday. I am not just voting for the next four years, I'm thinking about the next forty. I'm voting for the kind of place I want my daughters and son to live in. I don't need a CEO of America, Inc. I'm voting for a president for the people. Find your polling place here.

Rietveld





I bought this chair in 1952 or 1953. Carel Visser and I went to Rietveld's office on the Oude Gracht in Utrecht together to ask if we could each buy a chair. Rietveld sent us to his furniture maker Van de Gronekan in De Bilt to have them made. The price then was 80 guilders (about $45 US). —Wim Crouwel, 2012
