Jacobsen, Fritz...
Jacobsen, Fritz Hansen(swivel) Egg Chair and Ottoman. On the street outside of a local thrift store this afternoon for $5-I nearly crapped my pants. Was afraid that someone would steal it while I was getting my car.....but I made it home w/ the chair. Filthy faded (once brown) hopsack and crumbling foam. Now to decide on fabric or leather.....? Back to the office.....it was a longer than expected lunch break.
Camel color Leather would look sweet...
LOL. Wow, nice find, funny and good to know I'm not the only one out there who would nearly crap their pants and think someone would want to snatch it up or offer more while I'm getting the car. Try fitting that in a VW, LOL; oh it's doable!
I told the lady at the thrift...
I told the lady at the thrift store who sold it to me that people might be coming along and offering more money.....when I got back she told me I was right. Several people had asked to buy it and had offered considerably more than I had paid. (It was outside on a NYC sidewalk for God's sake). Clearly there is still some integrity in the world. I will be going back to the store tomorrow to make a donation...(not for the full value of the chair-but more than the $5 I paid)
