The old thread was getting a bit unwieldy at 115 posts so I thought I'd start a fresh one.
I just picked up this Time/Life Executive chair in blue hopsack. It cleaned up really nicely and I'm loving the color. It's like having a 670 lounge chair at my desk.
I also received the 2012 Select LTR I ordered, just haven't gotten around to posting it until now.
Picked up a bunch of various Eames side shells... some in better shape than others, but will be great once given a little TLC. At the moment I'm negotiating a work-for-trade on a standing-height, circular glass Burdick group table. If I get it I'm going to get a set of red Stool_ones to use with it.

Mid-Century cantilevered pipe rack. A little orange Pledge brightened it right up. This is the seller's picture of it before I oiled it.

a couple of thingies
one, a trioh metamorphic table (I think) although I haven't seen one quite like this (the lower shelf is different.
and the 2 VERY SIMILAR to Arne Norell Scirocco chairs. I think they are more recent and maybe by Scanform, but darned if I know.

believe me, it stays very human around here. she's turning 1, and the realities of poop and teeth are ever present. Happy to oblige! 🙂
We are keeping the TL chair to use as our office desk chair, though our desk is a Vodder executive desk--which I think is an odd pairing. May need to find a different desk...

Eerily familiar
BGillette did you pick up the TL chair in GR? If so I can give you some background on it.

I think good design from whatever period always looks fine paired with another, mmmm maybe thats wrong, anyway I am sure Mark has a young competitor in the insouciant stakes.
