In my never-ending attempt to expand my mind with an influx of information on brilliant people I have decided to read the autobiography of Steve Jobs in lieu of 50 Shades of Gray (I know, lame). But one key concept that has stuck out from the book is that Mr. Jobs was as fanatical about the BEAUTY of the inside workings of the Mac as he was about its aesthetic outward appeal. This key concept could not hold more true for furniture as well, and it seems as though Restoration Hardware has picked up on this important notion. The unveiling of their Deconstructed Collection this year has me appreciating the beauty of inner workings. Every pieces from wingback to settee has been left open-backed so the true craftsmanship shines. Perfect for rustic or shabby chic living, these pieces exemplify handmade quality you can see.
