The Panther by Volido, excerpt from the original DIY Furniture Book
Although we love to checkout (and write about) beautiful home furnishings, there's really nothing more satisfying than building it yourself. And as we shared in our 2011 End of Year/End of the World Gift Guide, the DIY Furniture Book is a step-by-step guide to building your own, modern furnishings for home or bomb shelter!
Lucky for all you DIY builders, the editors of DIY Furniture are preparing for a sequel with a call for submissions. Along with the editor's curated list of designers, they are seeking works from builders like you!
Use readily available off-the-shelf parts (from the hardware store or online like McMaster-Carr) as the materials for your original design. No variations or reproductions of existing designs! The goal is to create unique gallery/boutique worthy furniture that no one has seen before.
Submit your designs today. The call for submissions wrapsup on June 15th.
