How did I miss this? Must've been when I had the flu.
James Collins: 52: San Francisco: sabatical
I used to be a software designer. Games, CD ROM and multimedia. But I got tired of that so I guess I'm on a sabatical until I decide what to do next.
I basically have no relevant skill or expertise in this area but I AM an insufferable 'know it all' so I often have tidbits of obscure but useful information.

Barrympls here
My name is Barry and I live in Minneapolis, MN (USA).
I have been a fan of mid-century design since the 1980's. I had a friend (now decreased_ was one of the pioneers in collecting Art Deco, Streamline (in the 1960's) and got into the post WWII stuff early on in the 1970's. He moved to NYC in 1978. My tastes were very influenced by his. (He became one of those knowledgable junk shoppers back then who found some amazing stuff long before it became 'chic'.) By the time of his death, he had a complete lounge suite of Alexander Girard Herman Miller furniture, the William Lascaze model for the Museum of Modern Art - which they did not use, over 20 George Nelson clocks, a pair of Paul Frankel Deco table lamps and lots of other amazing stuff.)
I've been lucky enough to furnish my house with lots of cool stuff, including:
** a Saarinen Grasshopper lounge chair and ottoman
** two CSS bookshelf systems
** an Aalto Zebra tank chair
** a Florence Knoll walnut top coffee table
** two George Nelson black top end tables
** 1 George Nelson white top coffee table
** an Eames Dining table with a grey top
** 4 Eames EC-127 Blue upholstered chair with the same grey edging
...and other stuff
My primary interest (outside of MCM) is collecting records (1920's and 1930's Jazz 78's, 1950's-1970's rock and rhythm & blues on 45, LP and CD).
I'm primarily interested in American design, but also love Aalto, Jacobsen, Juhl, and many other classic European designers.
Scott -Also born in 1960
Suburb of Milwaukee Wisconsin USA. Banker(yawn),Incurable romantic,tortured soul. Lover of beauty,architecture,art and,of course fine design. Married to artist/graphic designer who has little or no interest in modernism (my home is ecclectic:county French/smattering of my modernism to placate me and mitigate my whining). I also have a strong attraction to the "Adirondak Great Lodge style". Starting design on weekend home, which I'm attempting to marry: "Lodge Style meets Modernism". We'll see how it goes.

nice chairs Joel if you collect 2 a year by the time you are my age you will have a warehouse full, The most fun part of collecting the chairs is arranging them and makeing them all look good in your home, as time goes on you will weed out some of the less valuable ones and be on the lookout for the highly collectiables as that is what i have done over the years,

Longtime lurker(learner), first time poster...
Now living in northern B.C. (Canada)
I'm a designer mostly working now in furniture and product design. Started off designing predominatly in the bicycle industry. Have always had an interest in design and architecture.
Seeing pics of Falling Water when I was a kid in the '70's changed my perception of how the world was and could be (that wasn't like my wartime neighbourhood!). Suddenly everything I dreamt up seemed like it had the possibility to exist if a house like that could...very inspiring!
I'm now working on prototyping a new line of furniture I've designed called "Place"(my last name..almost more appropriate, my wife, J. Place, is a georgrapher)
