Last-Thing-You-Acquired # 44  

Acquired this recliner a while ago, but I just finished restoring it a few days ago. The afrormosia arms are stunning. It really is too bad that afrormosia was not used more. It is such a beautiful wood, especially when it has darkened a bit from light exposure. It was made by Stranda Lenestolfabrikk in Norway. It is a very unusual design with the semi closed and upholstered arms, and the convex armrests. No idea who the designer was.

A Borge Mogensen for Fredericia coffee table. Solid oak, produced in the 60s and in fantastic condition. It is the model 271 that went with the spanish chair.

I am very jealous. It also went with my 3238 chairs. They were produced about the same time.

This too cool Bertil Vallien Antikva miniature blue and yellow vase for Kosta Boda Artist Collection 48009 along with a 1980's crystal Kosta Boda trade sign just arrived "no charge" from a "picker and collector" friend in upstate New York. How nice...

Another casualty of our disposable culture. Unused early polyethylene 'Millionaire Line' cups by Tupper (later Tupperware) from 1946. Humble everyday icon of 20th century design included in the MoMA permanent collection. Also selected in 'An Exhibition for Modern Living' at the Detroit Institute of the Arts curated by Alexander Girard in 1949. Praised for its innovative machine aesthetic, functional, elegant and simple.

minimoma,
Congratulations on the Millionaire Line cups by Tupper. Nice.
I am interested in limited vintage Tupperware (excellent pastels and functional). A later and favorite (highly usable in my home) piece is the Morrison Cousins Double colander for Tupperware.

I think i have a new favorite chair.
Picked this one up today, ca 1960 Arne Jacobsen Grand Prix chair in original black patinated leather.
Some leg funkiness but gonna sort that out.
Love it.

Grand Prix looks excellent, very sharp

I like Ron Arad and I particularly enjoy Cor Unum ceramics. The Jive vase works for me.

The Grand Prix is fabulous My Panton Home, I want!!

New cushions for my Mogens Kold lounger and a Gainey speckled planter (which I made a stand for out of wood scraps which were spared from a fiery death this winter ... kiln dried cherry burns real good).

Thanks Reamie and Objectworship!
I am kind of in love with this chair.
Always wanted a Grand Prix in original leather ever since i once saw a set of six in original red leather.
Black will do though!

I've just acquired a Karastan Kirman 717 woolen runner/rug from www.used.forsale/karastan-rug-717 managing to strike a deal with the seller paying $440 plus delivery, which seemed like a very fair price. The rug has just been professionally cleaned too so looks in superb condition.

A friend gave me the Versace Méandre dish for Rosenthal. Free Versace may interest Mark.
