After a lot of to-and-fro on that rug idea for the round dining table, I decided that a cow hide might actually work. I think it does. My friends who came around for dinner last night didn't even notice it and when I pointed it out they said they thought it had always been there... I suspect this might have something to do with the fact that the pattern resembles that of my late dog's... A trick of the unconscious, maybe? I don't think that's grotesque at all - it's actually quite a nice reminder.
I was also pleasantly surprised at the feel of a hide on the floor compared to say a wool rug. The idea of a hide on the floor feels somewhat Eames-ish to me, although to be in the true Eames spirit it probably should have been a zebra instead of cow...

heh, resemblence of Gunn... i've never seen her so flat on the floor...more like jumping around beeing Gunn. well, thank you for letting us break in the cow - much appreciated - and then followed by well-tasing thai & tapas is was a perfect evening :-). we'll come again any time. but first of all - London, Baby!
