Picked up this Curtis Jere lamp, designed for Laurel, at an estate sale. $35? You bet I'm taking it home! Caught some serious flak from the gf for this one. I'm actually not a huge fan of most Jere stuff either, but this one caught my eye. I'm gonna need to find a better looking shade though...

I got a torn paper collage at the Goodwill for $7, by Jo Lathwood (1902-1987) who was a sportswear designer and artist in Southern California in the 1950's.

I just pulled 4 red Panton licensed S chairs out of a dumpster a few hours ago. They are newer plastic and very chalky on the top. Anyone know how to get rid of the chalk? Light sanding? I'm sure I can seal then with semi-gloss plastic spray paint when done.

I like the artwork tchp, very nice.

Thanks. It is not a very large piece, at 20x16 inches, but my girlfriend and I like it a lot as well.

CTM
Won a CTM in excellent shape for a really good price at auction(good price at auction!?...what a shock!)
CTM has always been one of my favorite Eames designs.
Borrowed the picture from Google but mine looks exactly the same

Look what I found at the thrift today! Picked it up, to see who it was by, and can you imagine my surprise when I saw the name "Koen de Winter". Designed in 1977, and manufactured by Rosti in Holland, this piece is part of MOMA's collection. And now it's part of mine

Barstool trio
Picked up these nice Rosengren Hansen stools at the debut of a small auction house near my home. I thought they were a bargain. I see them described alternately as either Teak or Rosewood. Does anyone here know for sure? I don't know enough about woods to tell!

Thanks BJ...

great stools by the way!
I'm planning to make some myself, out of ash and walnut.
This could roughly be the design...

From the Goodwill for $14.99, what appears to be an Aldo Londi bull, albeit missing the more typical bright colored glaze and stamped patterns.

Last week at a local auction house. Has brass frame. No makers mark tho.

I guess they are training all Goodwill and Salvation Army workers to spot value and look things up on the internet because by definition a bull figurine should not be $15 at a "thrift" store.

The training thing has been...
The training thing has been going on for quite some time, although I suppose that there is only so much value that you can train or motivate a minimum wage earner to spot. That being said, I no longer tend to pick up things at thrift stores that say "Leica" on them.
