I won two high quality copies of vintage brochures, and one of them shows some of the wonderful stuff nelson designed for Howard Miller.

Including:
1018 18" square Spice Cabinet ($60.00)
1028 28" square Spice Cabinet ($85.00)
1030 Wall Vanity ($150.00)
1040 Wall Desk ($130.00)
an endless variety of vertical colored strips called RIBBON WALL
plus
4 different planters
and
2 cool room dividers; one free standing and one floor to ceiling pole style.

Also, there were 6 Zoo Timers clocks:

2321 Rowana the Ram ($995 electric or $17.95 battery)
2322 Tallulah the Toucan (same price)
2323 Samantha The Swallow (same price)
2324 Fernando the Fish (same price)
2325 Elihu the Elephant (same price)
2326 Omar the Owl (same price)

cool, huh?

I'll try to get these uploaded and posted.

I also got a really swell Paul Evans brochure from the Directional Furniture Company!

Ribbon wall looks an aweful lot like vertical blinds, no? From the scan you can't tell, but was there an option to mount this on a moveable track?

No....
I'm quite sure I recently saw a short track installed. It's a fixed ceiling track with the hanging ribbons free flowing, like a vertical curtain. It's really cool looking....and very 1960's.

I'll look into it
I never offered to make 'em available, but I might if I can them copies in color for a reasonable fee.
I also have a Paul Evans collection brochure from Directional, and believe you, me, they're some wild and crazy designs.

believe it or not Paul Evans...
believe it or not Paul Evans was the greatest!!!!! He was a sculpture first and artist and then furniture designer , he did three styles, his most famous the citycape collection that brings the big bucks
I have his cityscape lamp that i got at a store in Palm Springs several years ago made by laurel lamps, but that furniture is so cool.
His other stuff is really out there it scultupure furniture almost looks like it should be in a dungeon very heavy and really wierd stuff,
