100 chairs in 100 days - project - "Didn’t make one hundred chairs just for myself or even in an effort to rescue a few hundred unwanted chairs from the streets. The motivation was the methodology: the process of making, of producing and absolutely not striving for the perfect one."

On the 1981 recession: “A few years ago, everybody was saying we must have more leisure, everyone’s working too much. Now everybody’s got more leisure time they’re complaining they’re unemployed. People don’t seem to make up their minds what they want.”

Prince Philip, Duke of Edimburgh

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's quotes "British women can't cook."

We do it, we do it again, once more, and once more.

We do as many times as we need to get it right.

(The instructors)

“...At last I met a pretty girl,

She laughed and talked with me

We both walked out of the kitchen

And danced in a new way...

You’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties.”

Jona Lewie

Die Frankfurter Küche - The Frankfurt kitchen was a milestone in domestic architecture, considered the fore-runner of modern fitted kitchens, for it realised for the first time a kitchen built after a unified concept, designed to enable efficient work and to be built at low cost. It was designed in 1926 by Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky for the social housing project Römerstadt in Frankfurt, Germany of architect Ernst May. Some 10,000 units were built in the late 1920s in Frankfurt. (Student Anja Titze shared this link)
