Tres cool!

Having been released from work early for Good Friday, wanting to give my new sandals a walking test, and actually being in Orange during hours when things are open, I spent a couple hours wandering antiques malls. I was mostly keeping my eye out for a little garden table (shockingly, among 7 giant consignment malls, I found exactly zero. WTF?).

But I came across the following. Unfortunately, we have absolutely no use for any of it. But it's a gorgeous array of mid century furniture, and the marked prices are surprising:



The display cabinet in back was marked around $300. The lamp/table that's cut off on the right side of the picture was about $120. And the coffee table, the piece I desperately wish I had space for, $140! It's got a drawer underneath, which is marked "Stanley Distinctive Furniture" and it's in wonderful shape (at least the top. I didn't really inspect it to see what kind of shape it's in underneath).

But All of the pieces looked in beautiful condition. Anyone interested, I can direct you to the mall and the right stall.

Here are a few detail shots.

That is a great price for that coffee table, especially considering the wood used in it.

Can I assume that the white rectangular thing in the lower corner is just a price tag?

Yes, just a tag.

Here's some nice furniture I'd like to have around the house:
Human Furniture by David Blázquez

Possibly work safe. It's nudes, but you don't see any naughty bits.

Either that or a racing stripe.

I'm generally not one who cares much for crystal chandeliers, but I think this is damn cool.

Gawd I would love to have one of those!

The designer, Bob Basset, has a LiveJournal page, but I don't read Russian (Ukrainian?).

He's made some other things too.
