it's nice that it's in the old Citicorp Park, which hasn't changed from its original 1984 interior design.

Truck Furniture

nest-main

Truck Furniture's new book:

For years TRUCK has created simple, honest furniture in their workshop in Osaka, Japan. This book traces the nine-year journey of Tokuhiko Kise and Hiromi Karatsu, the couple behind TRUCK, as they set out to create a place of their own, where they could live and work comfortably with their large family of one daughter, five dogs and eight cats. Together they planned and constructed a house, a store, a workshop and, with the help of their friend, celebrity chef Kentaro, a cafe called Bird, and surrounded them with individually selected trees and plants.  Written by the couple themselves and lavishly illustrated with their own photographs, this is a book we hope you'll want to keep in your living room and return to many times. 


Kinokuniya carries it and we're very psyched to get it.

Why no jump in the pool?




A good question from our 2.5 year old. (And she doesn't jump, no matter how many times you play it again, to see if she will. And the doggies don't either. ) Otherwise, what a great little film.

Glacier Fence, 1940


Some favorite photographic glass slides from an unknown but highly skilled photographer's trip to western Canada in 1940. If you're into railroads, and big, unspoiled landscapes, you could make some pretty amazing prints from these. The lot of 54 of them are in our shop,

...and check the shop often- we'll be stocking it up like crazy over the next month.
