The Last Thing You Acquired #39  

Thanks for the reply Spanky.
Ok, i understand but if you change your mind i would pay a good chunk of money for it.
The Peacock only have smaller round cushions so i would not need any larger pieces anyway.
I do know about the Hallingdal fabric, but i am kind of anal with my collection and want to have the original type of fabric on my furniture.
The original fabric used by Plus Linje was called "Bolivia" and had two threads running each way, just like yours, and it was also available in that color combination, so it must be the the right kind.
So again, if you change your mind i am all ears.....

The John Risley chairs and barstools are fine to sit on as it is. I believe they originally came with loose round cushions in velvet/corduroy with bright pop solid colors. I prefer them without though.
I know what you mean about those staff with the who cares? attitude. Off topic, I was stalked by two people for randomly picking up a canvas and leather bag to carry my stuff while still looking around for more worthwhile items in the store. One offered $20 and the other $75 to let them have the handmade Ghurka Trekker bag No.32 from 1987. The store's own online site was auctioning a similar bag with 127 bidders.

My Panton--is your name Niklas, by any chance?

No, my name is Dennis.
But i do know Niklas, he is the other manic Panton collector here in Sweden!
You can see most of my collection here in the museum section: mypantonhome.com

emanuel,
Your walnut table set was actually designed by Milo Baughman for Arch Gordon.

Hi folks,
Been looking for a long time and i have been collecting/hunting for affordable design, in my opinion i did find some nice peaces for more than a fair deal. I collected all this in a year and a half.

snapscan,
Congratulations on your finds and acquisitions. I like the Marc Sadler Lite table lamps for Foscarini. Don't stop now.

Thank you "Niceguy"! I found both lamps (small and bigger one) for only 40$...i drove the car to get the lamps and double parked in-front of the house of the lady that sold them to me...it only took me about 10 minutes, when i got back to the car i had a 35$ fine for double parking....you win some, you lose some.

Navy and parchment shells on drafting bases. I'll swap the navy with another parchment shell I have and put them at the breakfast bar- drink my coffee in style!

Greets!
My last acquisition was free. It was gifted to me by a bright young child sitting next to me (first class, natch) on a recent flight. It is simply a page torn out of the kid's magazine, and cleverly folded (before my big brown eye's) into a cube. I shall keep it for a spell. I like it.
Best,
Aunt M.

My wife recently decided to commandeer my chair collecting hobby. The spoils of this week would indicate that she is better at this than I am.
On Tuesday, we took home an original Kent Floeter. Beautifully framed. I swear it weights at least 50lbs.
Today, we loaded a single SUV with:
1) an early set of four Kaare Klint red chairs in mahogany, goatskin, and horsehair;
2) two 1980s Knoll Barcelona lounges in stainless steel (to match our lonely 1985 ottoman); and
3) an Arne Jacobsen Swan chair in white leather, c. 2001.

re: Auntie's paper cube
great example of a proper "decorative accessory"
the object acquired memorably, a token of an instant, a reason for being (or at least an indication), however obscure-

Why thank you object. I used too have an origami owl that SDR made for me on our first date (circa 1970 or 71), but it started to___________. Oh the good old days.
Best,
Aunt M.
ps I learned a naughty joke today.

That was a very sweet gesture for a first date with SDR. One must know how to make a good impression.
Can his owl hoot a naughty joke?

teakhound,
Congratulations on the Barcelona chairs and the Swan chair. Those are fine examples.
While all the facts are not in and conjecture rules, it is starting to appear your wife is better at this than you on this find. Good for both of you.
