Lost & Found

几只古董粮食袋(Antique Grain Sack)终于从法国寄来。

这些美丽的大麻、麻混织的袋子的历史可以追溯到60-150年前，是当时的农人用来盛装自家种植的燕麦或面粉，送到加工厂或售卖处之后，粮食袋会返还到出产的农人手中。为了易于辨认，每一只都不一样，有的还绣上了姓氏或所住乡镇的名字，全部手工织成。

直至今天，它们仍然惊人地美丽。很多设计师把它们改成枕头、靠枕、沙发面。。。改头换面却仍然作为独特的传家宝存在。来自广袤农田的麻袋子，毫不矜贵，但并不是起居室的配角，这是那种东西——看一眼，觉得心动，十年之后，几十年之后，你会为没有错过它感到幸运。

From Sarah

A reader sent in a tip about Lost and Found, a stylish store in the Chaoyang district of Beijing owned by ex-pat American Paul Gelinas and local Xiao Mao. Housed in a former dumpling shop, the store's offerings include vintage finds, furniture, and clothing.

To that end, the pair have taken some classic Chinese chair designs (think mid-century bureaucracy) and had them locally reproduced as limited editions.
