A Pretty Cool Space

We were so excited when we got the call to help producer/photographer/podcaster Caroline Lee, and author/stylist/blogger Anne Sage source the perfect chairs for their dreamy Art Deco office project in Pasadena. This power duo has been on our radar for a while but this was the first time we got to work together. Since they were looking to repeat an arch pattern throughout the space and incorporate a girly, yet sophisticated pink-centric color scheme, our Thonet stacking chairs were the perfect fit. (These are no longer available but shop another style here).  Scroll down to see the time-lapse of the entire transformation (that ceiling though!!) and see photos of the finished product. See the full story on Design*Sponge.

WEST GERMAN POTTERY

Image
Seemingly being generally out of fashion after the boom of the 1960's and 1970's, West German pottery has been gaining massive popularity and a dedicated collector base that appreciates its style and eccentric aesthetic. Some of these ceramic pieces are hand-thrown while others are mass-produced stock shapes. Even stock shapes are made unique by the rough textures and the huge range of individual glazes. Size and shape can a petite three inches to well over a few feet tall for the larger floor vases. Factories that produced these ceramic pieces include Baykeramik, Carstens, Dumler & Breiden, Jopeko, Roth, Ruscha, and Scheurich. Many are only marked with a serial number and often with German or W. Germany on the bottom making it difficult to determine the original designer or manufacturer. Fat Lava, a nickname for this eclectic pieces, references the thick pumice and lava-like glazing. Funnily, because of translation errors on the i

SAFARI

Image
While the word Safari might normally conjure thoughts of wild animals and outdoor adventures, it has always brought to my mind two very sexy and classic chairs, often imitated and thoroughly gorgeous. The Safari Chair , a Kaare Klint designed easy chair, was created in collaboration with his pupil Edvard Kindt-Larsen in 1930 and manufactured by Rud Rasmussen, Denmark for Kaare Klint. The Sirocco easy chair by Arne Norell, was created circa 1960 and produced for Norell Mobel AB.     The most innovative design feature of this style chair is its collapsable nature. It can be disassembled and included on what I imagine to be the most well designed and modern safari trip ever. I would assume it is probably more at home in your living room than the savanna. We have a few Safari chairs available currently, check out this very unusual version with a rosewood frame with cow hide seat or this Klaare Klint original with black leather upholstery .
