Action Office!
With the winning combination of a birch top and a yellow cord management panel, I am very pleased with my new desk.

Update on the Nelson X-Leg table
This is the follow-up to another "last thing" post. In #14, I found this table, but only the legs were salvageable. I had a local shop (that, incidentally, does a lot of custom work for HM) laminate me a new top in walnut. Here's the finished table.

Time isn't Money

Upcycled
don't you just hate that word....upcycled to me means trashing something....normally with old lamps the fittings and wiring is alright..i've never ever had to rewire anything..well that is until I switched on my last Hala lamp...having a cosy night in..chillin they call it now..televission on...glass of wine...more cheese vicar ?
"can you smell something burning ?"....
"yes, a sort of plastic smouldering!it stinks"...
Then everything went dark...I blew all the fuses..then I blew my top..
The lamp was in a hundred pieces...so if I was going to upcycle then I had better do it with care..pass me my kid gloves...new wire..new fittings...what do you think..
Cheers
Jim

I don't know if I would...
I don't know if I would qualify what you did as upcycling, Tom Ado, but
rather, a necessary repair with vintage lamps. Original wiring....is dangerous, as illustrated by what happened. Had the frying occurred at the ceiling connection, it could have easily been much worse...
You did a nice job, the lamp still looks great, and is now safe to use.

Bought this sconce
at a second-hand shop in Annemasse, near Geneva, yesterday. I see two on 1stdibs right now--one dealer thinks it's French and the other thinks it's Italian. I'm leaning toward a French light with Murano shades.
Anybody know the designer/manufacturer?

Sadly
There are no labels on these. The woman I bought them from, said they were in the house since 1950. I also bought a first production rope edge with the dime imprint on the seat, that looked like it had never been sat in. These table def had some wear to them on the paint, and the rubber on the bottoms has some cracking but the finish looks original. I can post pics of the undersides but the labels are not there anymore.

Bent Falk Stove
Got this earlier this month off of CL. It was totally dead stock Rais stove by Bent Falk. Couple got it for free from a guy years ago and never got around to installing it. Even came with five brand new fire tools and a wall bracket. Above the fire box is a stove for pizzas, roasts, etc. Really happy to have it for the winter.

I did something similar
in my last home w/ soapstone. Loved it
Bought a beat beat beat set of Brown and saltman pieces by Mr. Keal. A 6 drawer dresser (I think, 8?) and what they call a blanket chest w/ 2 drawers. This is the design w/ the end to end aluminum pulls. Think I will have them professionally worked on.
They also had a Remploy cradenza that was much less beat but more money. Really nicely made but not the find that the other piece is. I will include pics later.
Did I mention it is beat?

Something
I did not expect to find at my local Goodwill.
Fornasetti bookends $2.52 on half price day no less...
If anyone knows the name of this design I'd appreciate it...I haven't been able to find it so far.

Love the woodstove. Could have used that one last week with storm
'Sandy' devouring NY. Power is back on now but what a mess it has been...
Did manage to visit the Guggenheim and the Met today to calm my scattered
visual nerves.

no pics yet
of the Brown & saltman dresser (8 drawer, I confirmed). But I have refinished the drawers. I think I will probably keep it.
I did pick up 3 Georges Briard coffee or occasional tables the other day. Georges Briard is one of those love/hate things for me. They are pretty fabulous, but not really to my tastes.

Recent Estate Find
4 vintage DAF chairs by George Nelson (attributed to Charles Pollock) Herman Miller. Designed in '54 Produced from '58-'64. I found two grey shells on chrome bases and two parchment shells on the matte black bases. I couldn't believe it until I had them home.....needed to clean them up- they were in a basement for 30 years.

my latest find...
This last weekend I was scrounging in the local St. Vincent de Paul, and turned up this lamp -- I initially thought it was IKEA when I saw the halogen fixtures. :) One halogen socket was shot, but it was quickly replaced.
Ron Arad Tree Lamp for One Off Ltd. mfrd by Barton.
We're still deciding if we want to keep it or not.

a weird lamp - bit beat
no idea. LOVE IT though. Has 2 really well made ball joints, one at the bottom and one at the top. It is pictured at maximum tilt. Not sure what it had as a shade. Some condition issues but should be fun to fix up. Obviously vintage judging by the works.

great lamp - question
picked this up today. Really like the black/white paint and the general form.
Question - Lightolier made plastic shade lamps, correct? They even had plastic refractors inside? Or is my mind playing tricks. I seem to remember desk lamps like that being attributed to Thurston. I'll see what I can find.

My new Cees Braakman table
slowly but surely I'm getting snowed under by Braakman...
the table top is a little darker..due to Mrs Smith's elbow grease and her passion for using teak oil on every suface including the toilet seat...
should I sanded down lightly to bring back the Beech look like the legs ? or just let it come back on its own ?
any help appriciated on this woodworking question...
cheers

Waffle-Lightolier lamp
Yes, Lightolier made plastic shades.
I have a Lightolier desk lamp with a plastic shade and a wall mounted swing arm lamp with the same shade and the clear plastic diffuser part is stamped/embossed Lightolier on both lamps.
They look very similar to your floor lamp.
You have found some lovely things lately!

Thank You Robert
for your reply....I'm on the right track then...I must admit...I do tend to go over the top...why buy one if you can buy two for the same price as one...could be my motto..
so yet another Cees Braakman...it was less than half a mile away..I couldn't resist it...come to daddy Cees..
cheers
Jim
I have just posted a second photo..I think its over the top two book cases but in the corner of the room I have a massive Christmas tree...so until the festive season is over..the two Siamese twins have to stay together...more tea Vicar...a generous slice of Yule tide log,perhaps ?
cheers
Jim

yes, I am pretty sure it is lightolier. Everything points that way OTHER than I have never seen another like it AND it isn't marked anywhere. It is a wonderful light, though.

I also picked up this other lamp at the goodwill about 3 months ago but just discovered it's a george nelson design for koch and lowy.

Jim, great to see you've snagged that pastoe
cabinet from marktplaats. I recognise the little whole in the underside.
You've almost got the catalogue from that period now!
Great products and the birchwood really glows with age.
We gathered 3 different pieces from the japanese series:

Birch series over Japan...
Birch series over Japan series each and every time! Better construction, earlier and more fun. Don't get why the Japan series is so over priced.
Viva Marktplaatz!

I agree, greavesy.
The japanese series are overpriced and the
'Berken' series contain more solid wood, are more playfull
and sympathetic in style and material.
But the japanese cabinets have a very graphic look, display a striking
visual balance, the veneers are really thick (I think way more than on the earlier
pieces)...
They are just the next in line, the newer generation, spun from the same mind with the same ideals concerning modularity, clarity in design and construction.

Beautiful RAIS stove.
I love that stove. Very nice ... Nice presentation as well. Our RAIS stove was one our best purchases ever. Great designs and very efficient.

I have followed
this post for a while and it always interests me what can and does get found out there.
While I have not felt the need to share all changed when I had a call to buy some danish furniture.
Walking a round the house looking if "there is anything else you might like" i spotted this light.
Very much in a sad state with rice paper shade which had gone completely and smoke stained cord.
A quick trip to Denmark for some lime green fabric covered cord and a LE KLINT 172A shade
Voila my new reading light.
It had me so intrigued and I love it as it works entirely on gravity holding the arm against the cord and stopping the light from dropping out the fixture!

Bought 6 of these Mollers
model 80, blonde oak together with (I guess) a Gudme table.
How is the back piece inset in the wooden frame?

Great find, and even better rebirth.
My favorite part of collecting is bringing stuff back to life.

It's a sebaceous cyst. Basica...
It's a sebaceous cyst. Basically a clogged oil duct. It can be drained, but it'll just fill back up. Sometimes it leaks and gets smaller for awhile but eventually grows bigger. Basically I just have to wait for it to rupture and then keep it clean while it heals. That, or it's full of baby spiders waiting to hatch.

Pets they eat your heart out
my very old German Shepperd (13) had a growth on her side and a fatty tissue on her paw...The vet removed them both last month...then removed 505 euro from my bank balance...
Here is she next to a 1950 Pilastro set of 3 side tables...just put this in before any one said "this is a design forum and not Pet's Corner"
good luck with the cyst..
cheers
Jim

Thanks. We're concerned that...
Thanks. We're concerned that a trip to the vet might be too stressful for her to handle. It's been ten years since she's been in the car. To keep things on-topic, I just ordered three sets of new shock mounts and some reproduction bases for my Eames shells. I'm all about keeping things original - but I'd rather the bases match and not have to worry about visually judging guests weight before letting them sit. Black/Walnut dowel bases for the orange and ochre sideshells (currently on an eiffel and stacking base), and a black/walnut rocker base for my dark green armshell (currently on a lowrod/cat's cradle base). Hopefully they'll arrive around the same time as the other things I ordered earlier this month during the Herman Miller sale (pic of my selections attached).

picked up
a George Mulhauser Plycraft Mr. Chair (the type with the winged wood arm rests) today w/ matching ottoman. I think it is the older variant w/ the wood leg covers (or whatever you want to call them). Needs some housekeeping but pretty good shape overall. Will pick it up in a few days and update w/ pics.
as promised, pics.
ALSO, a Danish teak animal (any help w/ id?) nicely marked
a Fran Hosken table (a long time fan. Shocked to find oen)
A nice set of Heath Coffee cups (love heath to pieces)

I love the juxtaposition of...
I love the juxtaposition of "classic" quilted leather on such a modern chair design. Also, you seem to have a rat in your house. You might want to catch it before it builds a nest out of vintage chair filling (or in my case, modern Porsche seat filling and dashboard insulation, with a trail of urine and poop in the glovebox...).

some days
It rains...
Yes, I love those heath cups, I have a suspicion my wife may ask me to keep them.
I already have a plycraft Eames knockoff that I will likely keep. This chair was a one owner baby, a bit rough, but honest rough. Where it counts (the upholstery) it's terrific.
I think the RAT is Lonborg. Agreement?
The table might be my best find, though. Hosken is not that well known I think but early and influential.

for a rat
He's rather charming.
and just for full disclosure, I picked up 15 of the heath cups at 2, almost adjacent, thrift stores.

Laurids Lonborg seems right...
Laurids Lonborg seems right for the rat...
I had not heard of Hosken until now. Had I seen it at a thrift store I would have bought it immediately...it's quite attractive.
This is not a negative commentary on the craftsmanship, it looks well made...had it not been labeled I would have assumed it to be a home made jobbie.

agreed
I think the top has been refinished, but ages ago. Craftsmanship is there, but has seen a full life. Should clean up perfectly, though.

Just scored
A set of four Eberle Vecta chairs in white and they came with an oval shaped table w/ a tulip base. Psyched to polish up the chrome and clean up the leather.
