They say classics never go out of style...

But apparently, forgotten classics can be reinvented. Like the "commode", a piece of furnite of which I was pretty sure it was about to become extinct. At least, as a contemporary piece I thought it was doomed, pretty much.
But luckily young austrian designer Marek Gut stepped up to the plate. He took a traditional piece of furniture (the commode), traditional woodworking skills and combined that with a contemporary style of form, material and colour. The result is pretty sexy. If one could actually claim that a piece of furniture is sexy, that is. Let's, for now, just say that it looks pretty damn smooth...
