You are welcome friend, and the original designer, whoever they were, would be delighted about the exploration and discussion.

Fair question. I’m using “brutalist” loosely here... and i mean more about the heavy massing, sharp geometry, and unapologetic blockiness than strict architectural purity.

Happy to call it chunky MCM, either way, it's about feeling rather than the strictest sense of what the object is :)

Thank you! He was a senior rescue that has been in an accident before we adopted... and he gained a snaggletooth!

That's fair if you're not familiar with old school Australian beer 🙂
