Haptic chair is the result of an extensive process of analyzing, experimenting and enterpretating tactile surfaces in nature.
It has been a project which has been focusing on the haptic processes of the sense of touch, keeping in mind the importance of the haptic/optic importance as well as how we are drawn towards object, wishing to investigate and by the hand, activating the sense of touch, to feel tactile differences of the chair!
Having in mind, the different haptic sensitivities of the body, the chair is designed to stimulate the hands with fine and detailed craftmanship, while the areas touching the back and the seat has a rougher and more tactile character.
The chair is made in oak with upholstery in foam and Furniture bored. The Furniture bored is fastened with a thread in copper for constructive purposes as well as haptic.
Usually if I have vegetable leftovers, I chuck them in a stir fry. But I’m not that keen on stir fries. Perhaps I’ve eaten too many. Or maybe it’s those gloopy sachets of sweet and sour mix, or just the fact that noodles are a pain to eat.
But worry not—I’ve stumbled across a brilliant new way of using up old vegetables. It’s just as cheap, just as easy, probably healthier, and at least seven times more delicious than any stir fry. Now, the only problem is that my photos don’t really do this recipe justice—but don’t let that put you off. Give this one a try, and let me know whether or not you reckon it trumps a stir fry.
Vegetable leftovers (I used 1 courgette, 1 aubergine, 4 quite floppy carrots and 1 parsnip. I really think that pretty much anything would work with this though, as long as the vegetables are added at the right stage of cooking eg. root vegetables should go at the start, and any sort of peas, beans, spinach etc should be added near the end).
Start the dish just like you would with a stir fry. Dice the onion, and gently fry in some oil, then add garlic after a couple of minutes, and then the chopped vegetables. Do this in a thick-based casserole dish though—not a wok.
After about 7-10 minutes of cooking on gentle heat, the onion should be translucent, the vegetables should be softer, and you should be getting some nice smells. Next, stir in 3 tablespoons of curry paste—I used a pot of Tesco’s Rendang curry paste, which I’d thoroughly recommend.
Pour the chicken stock over everything, and bring to the boil. Everything might look a bit watery and oily and generally unappetizing at this point—but don’t worry, it’ll taste delicious very soon.
Turn down the heat a little, so that things are simmering gently. Add the lentils, and stir occasionally. The lentils will soak up the vegetable stock, giving your dish a great consistency – like a thick soup, or a dhal curry. I served it with rotis-that way you can use the flatbread to grab handfuls of the stuff and shovel it into your mouth. Nan bread or rice would work well with this too though. It’s cheap, healthy and delicious…and another recipe which works well in a lunchbox the next day.

Just before the end of the school vacation the younger Frenchling proposed a trip into town to see the Palais de la découverte. This is a science museum in the heart of Paris and my daughter has been there many times on school trips.
The weather could have been better that day but it was a still a nice ride into town. Versailles is not that close to Paris but we are right smack on the RER C line which goes from the Versailles Castle straight into the center of the city (Pont de l'Alma, Champs de Mars/Tour Eiffel).
Our stop was Invalides which is usually just a transfer point for me into the Paris metro. As we walked through the train station to find the right exit I saw parts of it that I never seen before. Some really lovely stonework, old doors and grills. This station is right next to the Seine which occasionally overflows its banks and seeps into the station and even onto the tracks.
We exited right under the Pont Alexandre III one of the largest and gaudiest bridges that cross the Seine. You either love it or hate it. It was built in 1900 for the World Fair and its one of several monuments in that area that survive from that period - the Grand and Petit Palais are two others.
The Palais de la découverte is in the 8th district on Franklin Delanor Roosevelt Avenue and opened in 1937 in one of the wings of the Grand Palais. It's quite an impressive building and if you think the outside is amazing, you will be stunned by the interior.
Our area of interest that day was the Astronomy section. The younger Frenchling is fascinated by theories of the origins of the universe. And of course we had to check out the planetarium as well. The show was good - very practical in the sense that the presenter tried to help the audience reliably find some of the more obvious and interesting objects in the night sky.
After the show we strolled around and stumbled on a presentation about radiation given by a very enthusiastic young French scientist.
After our visit we strolled around the neighborhood looking for a good place to eat. Here are some pictures I took as we walked around. I was very surprised to find this bust of Champlain, the "Father of New France" (aka Quebec).
