The Last Thing That You Acquired #57 (Post Pandemic Edition)  

An Eames lounge that needs new shock mounts and some gentle refurbishing.

Two dumpster dive old but unused faucets.

I was unsure these were Castiglioni or Jakobsen... nice found !

Knoll leather strap chair by Risom.

@minimoma I walked past a restaurant the other day and thought of you, because I believe you mentioned these got your into design - or perhaps I misremember?

Anyway, I saw some fixture shop with a lineup of these taps in a rainbow palette. It was nice to see in my area, which mostly likes to cater to incredibly rich tasteless people who want everything to look like a boutique hotel. Sometimes, very rarely, some decent design slips in under the radar!

You remember right Kyle.  Vola faucets by Arne Jacobsen (1968) had become a standard issue in many high end minimalist interiors, they are everywhere but quietly in the background.

Two toys from Creative Playthings designed by Gloria Caranica, 1960s.

Yes, together with the new moderation this thread brings hopes this place will see better times. Quite impressive finds I have to say, frankie. I have seen quite the opposite trend during the pandemic.

That sofa and the marble lamp pictured (not sure which designer has that one attributed to them, but I am guessing it's one of the Italians) are utterly epic. 

For the Senator chairs, I believe the the 3 versus 2 back slats is a production age indicator as I've never seen a France og Søn branded (medallioned ?) one with three slats. Only Poul Jeppesen or CADO. So while there's no model change, arguably the FD109 can't apply to the one with three slats as it's neither a France nor Daverkosen model anymore! 

Over here in the UK, the market has been more competitive than ever and the decent things have been fewer and further between, so I can't say it's been a similar experience.

@kyle-barrett @andersen Sorry you haven't had the luck I had assumed was more widespread.

The marble lamp is the Scarpa Biagio for FLOS. There is a really good video of how they are made if you scroll down a bit on this page:

For the Wanscher chairs, the ones I am referring to aren't the Senator chair. In the photos below you can see that the taller back/three slat version has both the early France and Son medallion and the France and Daverkosen stamp below it (I realized after posting that the FD stamp is hard to make out, but it is on the slat just below the medallion). While the next two photos of the lower back/two slat version just have the France and Son medallion. I guess it is simply that the design changed over time.

My favourite recent discovery were these 4 promotional posters that I stumbled across at Mercat Dels Encants flea market in Barcelona a little while ago. They are promoting a men's tailoring trade fair ranging from 1963 to 1971. I love the mid century styling of the graphics. Very Saul Bass.But if you can't find a genuine 1960s print there are some great mid century style artworks here. [link removed]

@frankielemmons That's my fault, I saw FD109 and assumed FD116 without a photo, specifically because you started talking about 3 versus 2 backslats. Being a bit of a sucker for that design, I am particularly aware of that exact difference in versions of the FD116, but apparently I am not particularly anal/aware when it comes to the model number!

I have picked some bits up over the last couple of months. I know it only shows six, but I picked up 9 of these model 67 Erik Buck chairs in rosewood. They're currently populating my living room. Unfortunately they are absolutely gargantuan and there's probably about 5 more than I could reasonably keep. Very comfortable and lovely figuring though.

And with the continued support of Leif and another member here I managed to secure these armchairs in original leather by Erik Kolling Andersen. They'll be living with me for while I am happy to say!
