Nicholas Dyson: Talks and articles

http://nicholasdyson.blogspot.com/p/talks-articles.html

Jekyll and Hyde Dictionary. Proverbs from our time. Every Crisis has a Silver Lining. An amended version of a talk given to the Northern Contemporary Furniture Makers. The bigger picture: history. Chris suggested I talk on ‘The impending crisis – a furniture maker’s response’, but I have retitled it, to absolve myself of the responsibility of saying anything too useful, ‘Every crisis has a silver lining’. Do your customers (clients? Describe their homes as their ‘private residences’? When Chris asked if ...

Nicholas Dyson: January 2014

http://nicholasdyson.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Jekyll and Hyde Dictionary. Proverbs from our time. Thursday, 30 January 2014. Tuesday, 28 January 2014. From Jane Gardam's Old Filth. Monday, 27 January 2014. Sunday, 26 January 2014. The Labour government 'wrecked' the economies; the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition (but you can forget the secondary partners now) 'fixed' it. These things don't happen unless the people in control will them. Larry Fink, chairman of fund manager BlackRock, saw it rather differently. He told the WEF that one of ...

Nicholas Dyson: News and exhibitions

http://nicholasdyson.blogspot.com/p/news-and-exhibitions.html

Jekyll and Hyde Dictionary. Proverbs from our time. My exhibition in Lye Regis is now closed but here is a resume of what was on show there. Not originally designed to accompany this desk, which it nevertheless suits, this oak chair was part of a dining table and chair set for another client in Oxford. The Ivory table and chair. They have nothing to do with elephants or walruses: there is nothing in their construction apart from English ash. The table is 1200mm diameter, with a 300 extension leaf. This a...

Nicholas Dyson: Furniture for sale

http://nicholasdyson.blogspot.com/p/furniture-for-sale.html

Jekyll and Hyde Dictionary. Proverbs from our time. This table, a very unusual piece in my output, is intended as a reworking in timber of the spirit of Italian renaissance marble tables. Although the top is richly inlaid, the decoration follows a highly unified theme and is itself a main element of the design. The structural form of the table is inspired in part by a mid-seventeenth-century table in Chetham's Hospital, Manchester. It measures approximately 2000 by 1000mm and is 730mm high. Coloured lacq...

Nicholas Dyson: September 2014

http://nicholasdyson.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Jekyll and Hyde Dictionary. Proverbs from our time. Monday, 15 September 2014. In praise of the clunk. The future's bright; the future's Apple. And it's all about the interface. To judge from the obiter dicta. But Tim Cook knows and has just pronounced that the problem with television, in which Apple still maintains a keen interest though it has yet to make its carefully planned takeover, is that it has 'not changed since the 1970s'. The thing is it is 'too clunky for the modern world'. Which sets me won...
