lamps...always more lamps
a matched pair of just great, statuesque table lamps. Must have lived with a 3 pack a day type as they were filthy.
and a really weird green plywood laminate thingy. I have never seen anything like it. Works are vintage...but might be a custom job? It's odd for sure.
EDIT - and yes, it's sort of green

I got this lucite and brass floor/torchiere lamp last week for $5. Excellent shape. The brass sheet metal is all hand formed and welded to form the faceted shade. The lamp cord is concealed in a channel on the edge of the clear lucite column. I don't normally collect 80's (70's?) items, but I also can't pass up something this finely made when it is virtually free. I saw one on 1st Dibs, but it was only identified as being in the style of Karl Springer.
great chair
bgillettephoto,
Yes, that is a great chair.
I also compliment you on the cool accessories in the previous photos. Of course the Hassleblad camera and the Bang Olufsen receiver with the green Pro-Ject turntable.
I have my eyes on the new JA Michell TecnoDec. I would prefer the GyroDec and I like the "old school" Syncro with rounded corners.
You do have refined taste. Congratulations.
Mark, Niceguy -
Thanks! I've had my eye on them for awhile, but never felt comfortable ordering since the grain varies so much and I wanted to make sure I had a matched pair with lots of character. Since these were on display I was able to see them before I bought them. One has a small gouge that I filled, but otherwise they're in perfect shape (which is outstanding as they were made in 2009). I also managed to add a walnut "B" shape Time/Life stool into the deal.
I'm itching to shoot new photos of my place and collections - but it wouldn't look good to post such photos while my clients are waiting for theirs.. Through being a hermit, opportunity, and keeping daily expenses to a minimum I'm managed to acquire some great pieces on my artist's budget. That turntable was actually paid for with the proceeds from my first "professional" shoot, and when I was waiting for it to be rung up I managed to throw in the Beomaster 3300 for $100 in perfect condition. Unfortunately I don't get much time to sit and truly "listen" to music these days so the turntable hasn't seen much use. Instead I have an Airport Express hooked up to the Beomaster to stream from my lossless library.
At the moment though I have to figure out what I'm going to do with my Eames 671 ottoman. I thought a clip was a snap and managed to rip the clip out while removing the cushion... It should be an easy repair, but it's just another addition to my never-ending to-do list.
Waffle -
People give BOSE a hard time today (and rightfully so) because they took a great brand and destroyed it's reputation by putting too much into marketing hype and not enough into quality. Those 901s though are what gave BOSE a good reputation in the first place, and with the stands will not only sound great but look amazing as well.

The LCW is standard palisander. I've seen so many variations that I don't think it's possible to define a "typical" palisander. I almost bought a DCW that had wide, light, almost maple-colored stripes outlined in thin, dark brown.
If you're referring to the closeup of the ottoman that I messed up, that's the new oiled palisander finish.
