Deutches Lahn Muebel (furniture)

  Our holiday in Germany continues and yesterday we cycled from Koblenz to Nassau on the river Lahn, an eastern tributary of  the Rhine.



   Heading up stream along the north side of the river

    As we rode along we stopped for coffee in Bad Ems and then crossed over the river to ride toward Nassau. (that is the town that gave the other towns the name)  This region of the world traces its history back to before the Romans and since the Romans it has been a hot bed of war, politics, and great wine.

   Germany is also know for it functional design:


This lawn furniture we found at one point along the river would appear to be alpha stage prototypes, because I haven't seem anything like it in the stores yet.  It appears sturdy and uses simple manufacturing methods though they may be labour intensive at this time.   I endorse the mixing of wood and stone to produce the rustic style.
