Lots of new finds…

30 Jan

I’ve been pretty busy with school lately so it’s difficult for me to get out to the the thrifts.  Luckily, i’ve had pretty good luck when I have made it out.  This week I found a beautiful 1950′s 8 piece living room set.  It has a chair, a three piece sectional sofa, and four tables(a corner table, a coffee table, an end table, and a multiple leveled table).  I also found a gorgeous Laurel Lamp.

There it is in my living room…

 

I got another beautiful lamp in a similar style as well.  I found three iittala red wine glasses, a Dyrlund Danish lounge chair, two fantastic 50′s hairpin tables, danish ceramics.  I’ll put up some pictures soon hopefully!

Marianne Westman

16 Jan

Marianne Westman was the featured designer last week on my Tumblr.

She was a top designer for Rorstrand and did some fantastic work throughout the 1950’s and 60’s.  She had a real knack for pattern designs and has even recently had her Picknick design reissued.

Amazing stuff!  All these pictures are credited on my Tumblr site.

Arthur Umanoff

2 Jan

I just found a fantastic chair at a local thrift.  It’s got a woven back, a slat wood seat, and black metal legs.  It’s a beautiful design by Arthur Umanoff for Raymor.  He was a fantastic designer.  I particularly like his desk designs.  His work is often confused with Paul Mccobb.  Pictures soon…
