Craigslist. Bad picture. Dainish desk (spelling as is). NO QUESTION Arne Vodder. $150. I was the 2nd respondent.

it was a fellow DA'r. Few and far between I think in my neck of the woods. i was even going to keep it (I have a fairly generic 50's oak institutional thingy as a desk). This one is going to hurt for a while

Original Corbusier LC2 chair
Unattributed item on eBay, with a bid of £10.50 with six seconds to go.
Somehow lost with a snipe despite bidding pretty high. This one is going to hurt for a while....

Yep, my desk miss still hurts too.
I just think of the gems that I have found, and some of them far outweigh the misses. Thank god!

Do you know the maker of the table pictured with the Wegner chairs?
I've just got a set of 6 Wegner chairs and the table that came with them looks very similar to that in your picture 🙂
