Was walking through my neighborhood this afternoon and what should catch my eye (in the garbage) but a Sol Bloom Catch it All. After looking at it closely, however, it seems too new/clean to be an original edition. All iron frame surfaces are plasticized as are the welds on the bottom of the frame. It also has hard plastic/rubber feet in near perfect condition. As an aside, there are a couple of areas (near the weldsand where the plastic coating has dissapeared) that have significant oxidation/rust. My question is whether anybody has recently re-issued/knocked off the catch it all? If so, who and where can it be found? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Sol Bloom was a sculptur who designed some mesh and iron furniture for a company called New Dimensions Furniture. To be honest, although the catch it all is an iconic mid century design...I don't know much more than that about Mr. Bloom

I have scoured the web for more info on Sol Bloom and the Catch it All. A "scoop chair" was just auctioned yesterday at treadway/toomey. ( see link) I also just found a table top version of the catch it all that sold on ebay with the same plastic feet that mine has. Maybe mine is an original after all?
