Michael Cannell’s article in the New York Times, “Design Loves a Depression” is very optimistic and I must say that I am too. While reading this, I could not help but think of Gerrit Rietveld’s “Crate Furniture” designed in 1934. This depression inspired design allowed the individual to make the chair themselves out of a discarded wooden crate. I have made several of these and they are durable, comfortable ( considering ) and beautiful. Perhaps these new economic conditions will generate some great things.
