We need to liven up this joint. In the spirit of fun (hopefully), inspiration, and self-congratulation, please post a photo of a recent design-related item that you purchased, stole (j/k!), or otherwise acquired.

Nice wooden items Woodywood...
Nice wooden items Woodywood and Graeme!
Wood again... We've bought this little Danish fellow this morning for 20 cents. So, not sure if it's an aquisition or if it's stealing.

designer unknown
Nice find. The chairs als appear in TASHEN, interiors now, p. 139. I have a similar green executive chair. On the internet these chairs are sometimes attributed to Guariche and Meurop, Belgium, but I have never found proof in an old brochure, magazine or book. Anyway they are nice

mobler
Picked up a few things on my last trip. Here's my favs from the day though.
Set of teak HJN Mobler bedroom chests. One is a standard 3 drawer chest; and this is the other: They look identical until you open it up.
Not sure of rarity, but I can't find more than 2 other HJN pieces in all my searches.

Lounge chair
I found this chair at a garage sale and picked it up for $15. It is by Percival Lafer. I have never seen one with cushions such as this, but they are original and have the MP Lafer labels sewn just inside each cushion. The chair has had two of the rear leather straps replaced and also the seat webbing. Honestly the most comfortable chair i now own. I love the clean simple lines, and who doesn't love Brazilian rosewood?

Good call Woodywood
Heres mine, a collection of Moller 62s and 78s in dire need of reupholstering.

Beautiful frames
I've always been partial to natural tan or camel leather. Similar to the fabric color in the photo.
