My New Danish Modern Chair
When I saw the posting on our neighborhood email list that there was a “Free Mid-Century Chair” sitting in my neighbor’s driveway, I turned off to stove, told my wife to watch the kid, and jumped in the car. What I found was a big-ass mauve upholstered chair with what looked like teak legs. I didn’t […]

Amazing cover on the DWR Holiday catalog
I don’t know about you, but it’s not even Thanksgiving and I’ve gotten dozens of holiday catalogs in the mail. But when I got the new DWR catalog, the cover photo jumped straight into my cerebral cortex’s vintage station wagon and mid-century architecture pleasure center. Wow, what an amazing shot. The Egg chair on top […]

Eames Shells Restored for Outdoors
After moving into my new home, I began to search for some seating for my back patio. It had to look great because it’s only separated from my living room by a wall of glass. And, it couldn’t be upholstered because it will be covered with pine needles in the fall and seed pods in […]

Cool Woodturning Book
I found this cool book about woodturning. The cover features a rare piece by Jens Quistgaard, abstracted shapes, and simple Helvetica type. It was published in 1970. The book features a few more Dansk pieces inside and has a ton of information on how to make just about anything on a lathe. There’s a few […]

Palm Springs: More Hipstamatic
I went to Palm Springs for a long weekend and kept finding myself without my DSLR whenever there was something cool to take a photo of. Thus, I decided to use Hipstamatic to take retro photos of some retro homes. There were some super dramatic clouds that day. The first group of photos are from […]

Looking up for up&up
Over the last year, Target has been rolling out their new “in-house” brand of home products called up&up. And I’m obsessed with them. Somehow Target has managed to laser in on multiple areas of interest for me and came up with a killer combination. First of all, I like good, consistent design. I really like […]

Cocktail Shaker Auctions
Before I collected Quistgaard’s work, before I collected other Danish Modern, I collected Martini Shakers. My collection started in the mid-to-late 90s when I was living in New York City, making very little, and getting interested in mid-century design. There were a ton of cool stores in NYC and flea markets every weekend and I […]
