Sweet lamp Simon
Great find, and even better rebirth.
My favorite part of collecting is bringing stuff back to life.

I can't resist buying lamps.

As a birthday/xmas present to myself - Eames 670/671 in black Edelman and hand-oiled Santos Palisander. I ordered some other goodies for my office as well that should arrive sometime next month.

It's a sebaceous cyst. Basically a clogged oil duct. It can be drained, but it'll just fill back up. Sometimes it leaks and gets smaller for awhile but eventually grows bigger. Basically I just have to wait for it to rupture and then keep it clean while it heals. That, or it's full of baby spiders waiting to hatch.

Thanks. We're concerned that a trip to the vet might be too stressful for her to handle. It's been ten years since she's been in the car. To keep things on-topic, I just ordered three sets of new shock mounts and some reproduction bases for my Eames shells. I'm all about keeping things original - but I'd rather the bases match and not have to worry about visually judging guests weight before letting them sit. Black/Walnut dowel bases for the orange and ochre sideshells (currently on an eiffel and stacking base), and a black/walnut rocker base for my dark green armshell (currently on a lowrod/cat's cradle base). Hopefully they'll arrive around the same time as the other things I ordered earlier this month during the Herman Miller sale (pic of my selections attached).

picked up
a George Mulhauser Plycraft Mr. Chair (the type with the winged wood arm rests) today w/ matching ottoman. I think it is the older variant w/ the wood leg covers (or whatever you want to call them). Needs some housekeeping but pretty good shape overall. Will pick it up in a few days and update w/ pics.
as promised, pics.
ALSO, a Danish teak animal (any help w/ id?) nicely marked
a Fran Hosken table (a long time fan. Shocked to find oen)
A nice set of Heath Coffee cups (love heath to pieces)

I love the juxtaposition of...
I love the juxtaposition of "classic" quilted leather on such a modern chair design. Also, you seem to have a rat in your house. You might want to catch it before it builds a nest out of vintage chair filling (or in my case, modern Porsche seat filling and dashboard insulation, with a trail of urine and poop in the glovebox...).

Wow Waffle,
great goodies....I've always preferred the winged version of that chair the most......those Heath ceramics are pretty great too.

some days
It rains...
Yes, I love those heath cups, I have a suspicion my wife may ask me to keep them.
I already have a plycraft Eames knockoff that I will likely keep. This chair was a one owner baby, a bit rough, but honest rough. Where it counts (the upholstery) it's terrific.
I think the RAT is Lonborg. Agreement?
The table might be my best find, though. Hosken is not that well known I think but early and influential.

for a rat
He's rather charming.
and just for full disclosure, I picked up 15 of the heath cups at 2, almost adjacent, thrift stores.

Laurids Lonborg seems right...
Laurids Lonborg seems right for the rat...
I had not heard of Hosken until now. Had I seen it at a thrift store I would have bought it immediately...it's quite attractive.
This is not a negative commentary on the craftsmanship, it looks well made...had it not been labeled I would have assumed it to be a home made jobbie.
