I think of you as a Tim Gunn of the kitchen...and I'd like to think that I have some style, as well (in a good way). So it's nice to hear that our tastes don't diverge on this point! What a relief!

Though never argumentative, once in a while Mr. Henry stakes a claim somewhat on the periphery of acceptable opinion. It's fun to watch the feathers fly. He adores the Metro and worships Antonio Gaudì. As it happens, for this post he prepared pictures of both, but opted against turning a short throw-away essay into a full blown screed. No no no.

What about Gaudi? Or the metro in Paris? In general, I am all about minimalism and functionality - machines looking like what they are. But I can't help but find a sort of emotional beauty in some more elaborate architecture and appliances... Mr. Henry,

In general, I am all about minimalism and functionality – machines looking like what they are. But I can’t help but find a sort of emotional beauty in some more elaborate architecture and appliances…

I agree with Mr. Henry, which is why all of our appliances are also chrome or stainless steel. Aside from being "honest", they're also fairly timeless and you probably won't have to worry about being ashamed of them in later years, a la the avocado green or harvest gold appliances of our parents' generation.
