The attribution was wrong but I wasn't the only one who spotted it....hammer dropped at 1100 plus buyers premium of 20% but for me this is going into the permanent collection so hopefully my kids will do well off it in the future........which should help seeing as our govt are hell bent on ruining our kids future over here in Ireland.

Picked these up on a recent trip to Los Angeles. The woman that had them sold them very cheap SCORE!!I just refinished the Kurt Ostervig credenza and I spent some money having the papa bear chair re-upholstered! The Ostervig chair is being re-upholstered now! The papa bear was in bad shape...cats had made it a litter box and scratching post!
re: kenroy lamp (Angelo Lelli)
I am a bit confused about that lamp. Maybe you know something I don't so hopefully you can enlighten me. A few moths ago there was similar lamp on Ebay. There was actually a sticker on the base of that lamp shown in the pics that said Kenroy with the year 1986 next to it. When the lamp was listed I was sure the guy had no idea what he really had but held back from bidding as there actually is a manufacturer of lamps by the name of Kenroy. Is it possible that these are reproductions of the Angelo Lelli lamp? Maybe it is possible that Kenroy was the US distributor of the Lelli lamp.

That's true-amazing Egg Chair score for 5.00!
I myself just got a Black McCobb Planner Group cabinet over the weekend,very nice original finish,for $35.00.Great score ,but not in the league of the 2 aforementioned chairs .I'm still amazed at the upholstery job on the Papa Bear.Perfect color,and whoever reupholstered it knew what they were doing,I can see the perfect piping curves beneath the armrests,not to mention the impeccable button tufting.

I agree 5 bucks for the Egg chair is an absolute steal!! I paid $100 dollars for all three pieces!! So the papa bear comes out to roughly 35 bucks!! I did splurge on it though, it cost me $500 to have it re-upholstered and the teak refinished!
Tulipman the upholstery was done by Denmark 50 in Los Angeles. They are the masters of preservation and restoration of classic danish modern pieces!
There are Meurop
They appear in a few brochures. There's no reference to Guariche although Meurop never seemed to advertise the designers.
