a couple of lamps
I just got two of these lamps marked Italy, probably Raymor. They weren't cheap but they were not nearly as pricey as the one on 1stDibs right now, so ha! I LOVE THEM. Now I get to find just the right shades for them.
They're about 18" high and have four very rounded sides.
yes...
those are nice. I recently picked up some like them but without the arms. I like yours better but still nice chairs...

A little Lax
Went for a long walk to blow off some steam and some pizza eating fat, learning baking does have its downsides...someone else was in the shop looking for good stuff but I nabbed this before them, there was also a nice set of Rosti bowls but I have enough of them and the rubber was perishing on them. $18.00 not too bad. Kangaroo, veges and red wine casserole (with pastry) for dinner. Gonna teach myself how to make Danish pastries, first I have to reduce my apricots in syrup, cooking is so much fun! I never knew, and cheap, my shopping list reads like a ration book, amazing what you can do with cheap stuff and the basics.
The smell of apricots, boiling sugar and lemon juice...why wasn't I told?
No Picture Zone
OK, was at a thrift store today and saw an interesting chair. I will take pictures tomorrow, but does the following SOUND Danish or no?
Tall ladderback chair in oak. The seat strapping is that Threaded wire (looks almost like a stove's heating elements). Did anyone OTHER than the danish do that? Unmarked, of course. I will take pics on Monday. If it is danish it's older. Somewhat Craftsmen in style.
I know, I feel like an idiot even as I type this.
but, to make amends
I am about to go buy 6 Brno chairs for $150. HIDEOUSLY upholstered, but that won't be my problem...
PICS ADDED
Strapping looks original. Obviously re-upholstered. I see Grey Vinyl underneath.
I am sure they are not original, but the strapping looks vintage. I know others have made versions of the same basic chair.
Attribution may be tough!
Still, $150 for 6 works for me.
.
With some good leather or fabric they will be fine chairs, I don't think though that they are quite as pleasing as the knoll chair, the tube should have a slight 'intuitive' curve at the front leg. I read somewhere that Mies considered a straight line but decided against it in the end.
Anyway, I prefer these to the flat bar version which is ridiculously heavy.
I think
thonet made a ver as well?
the following are attributed to thonet and are evil twins of they one's I have (minus the mardi gras upholstery, of course)
