I really like this 1940's school desk and chair that I spotted yesterday in Hindsvik's shop.
I doubt it'll stay there long. If I lived in the States I'd be tempted, it's the kind of furniture I love, just for decoration. It would be no good for any of my three children, however.

Dylan (14), in particular, has been eating his greens, you see. Lots of them, infact. So much so that he now towers above his father and I and has long since stopped borrowing our socks ( size 47 shoe and growing fast...). I'm fairly tall (1.73m) but have to look up to talk to him (currently standing at 1.88m!). This is all very well if you're into basketball but it's starting to pose a problem at home. Thank goodness for our high ceilings!
We've just had to buy Dylan a double bed and are now trying to find a long-term solution to the desk situation. Sitting down at any table has indeed become a problem, no leg room you see (you should have seen the poor kid on a plane in the Summer!).
We're thinking of trying this DIY industrial-looking desk I found in the latest issue of Milk Magazine. What do you think? Anyone have any other ideas? I'd LOVE to know.
