@atomicrobot. Same candle holders found on image search. All say " in the style of " or "attributed" to Gio Ponti... 😆 1950's!!!

Wishful thinking I suspect.

I personally like them regardless of whoever designed/made them.

These are very nice candelabras but I would not want to be underneath those things in a magnitude 7.0 earthquake.  You can probably rig those to come down when someone says anything negative or sinister about them like in an Edgar Allan Poe novel.

The internet seem to be attributing anything "pointy" to Ponti.

Went dumpster diving for some tarnished silverplate, the "Denmark" pattern by Danish American silversmith John Axel Prip.

I recently found an early 
version of the trip-trap wall
valet by Adam Hoff
and Paul Ostergaard for
Virum Mobelsnedkeri.
it is missing one peg
but it is in, otherwise,
great conditions.

I have two of these wall valets. They’re great. I refer to them as the Danish Modern version of Joseph Cornell boxes.

What trait of your valet makes it early production?

Hi

The slot for coins/watch is more rounded than those available on the internet, also the back is not painted and has hanging hooks instead of the two holes.

Is your valet marked? I’d be interested in seeing more details. If marked, it could be later production. However, there are a few details that don’t match up. As you already mentioned, the back side is not painted, there are hangers instead of slots, and the top coin tray is different. Combined with philips head screws and wood knob tops that are slightly different, might I suggest that your valet was not made by Virum? I’m not sure if there were other authorized manufacturers besides Virum, but I have seen other non-Virum examples out there which are close but not exact.

Here is an enlargement of the wall valet photo in the Grete Jalk 40 yrs cabinetmaker volumes. The slot holes for hanging can be seen here.

These are more recently gifted to me by one of the partners at work who was downsizing & made me select first items I would be interested in before sending to Goodwill.  Most were just high end stuff I have no interest in keeping but I took the iconic Beogram 4000 series and a Beocord 1800 both by B&O and both are still in working condition.

The turntable is included in the MoMA permanent collection & both are by Jacob Jensen for Bang & Olufsen.

Love the Beogram! My friend just unpacked his Beosystem 8000 a month ago only to find his Beogram was acting up. I just picked up some repair parts for him, due to arrive on Monday, so it's looking forward to listening to some vinyl again.

Kevi Chair, this one produced by Herman Miller. Anyone know when and for how long they had the rights?

These were marketed as the MKD chairs under the Herman Miller label around 1970ish-1980ish.  Knoll had an earlier version with swag legs also designed by Jorgen Rasmussen in the 1960s.  Knoll and Herman Miller were more interested in the double wheel casters (less on the Kevi chair) also designed and patented by Jorgen Rasmussen which became the standard issue caster on all office chairs.  So far, no one has designed an alternative to the double wheel casters since its inception in the 1960s.
