ADRIAN PEARSALL China Cabinet





Talk about top drawer! Adrian Pearsall was one of the big boys in Mid Century Modern designs. 
He created this lovely honey walnut china cabinet which boast an upper glass case for your best 60's dish collection. Look at the drawer pulls on the lower cabinet! The handles are squared solid brass, and offer just a kiss of wicker around the top pulls.
And can we talk about the legs?? WOW!
Won't this cabinet will look super in your dining room this Thanksgiving?

Black Leather Bullfrog Lounge Chair


WOW!! Ever heard of this company? Bullfrog is the "Florence Knoll" of Germany. While this chair is not vintage it has all the earmarks of mid century modern. The leather is as smooth as Blackgama mink, and the sit is regal. Take a seat & chill after a particularly grueling day at the office. Simply rest. Sweet!




Did I mention it looks HOT!

Kent Coffey "Focus" Credenza


Do you remember when you first got hip to Mid Century Modern? Where were you? An auction?? Estate sale?? An Uber hip vintage furniture store?? What year was it? What piece took you over the top? When you saw it did you get that all too familiar catch in your throat and run over to it. Like you just found your panacea. Did you look left, then right, then dead center back to the piece at hand? Were your thoughts, okay how do I get this to my truck? Or was it, I can only pay $$...wonder if that saleslady will work with me? Hmmm... 

It was surreal wasn't it? I remember my first Kent Coffey purchase. I had to wait while a couple made up their mind whether to go for it. Thank goodness, they didn't get it--literally. Kent-Coffey is a very desirable company in the Mid Century Modern world. I get emails all the time about different items on this blog, but Kent Coffey leads the pack! Inevitability the letters always end with "can you tell me anything about the value?"  

My answer is always the same as I think back to when I first got it.
The value--why it's priceless of course!

WORD!

Did you know this Kent Coffey "Focus" piece is made of "Avodire," pronounced (av"u-du-rā'), wood. This hard, light-colored wood of a West African tree, Turraeanthus africana, of the mahogany family, is used for making furniture.

French "Hopsack" Chair







I LOVE THIS LOOK! It's so hip, happening & now!!
It's a fabric called "Hopsack" or "Burlap." My fabric showcases advertising details made of vegetable dye. I had my upholsterer strategically place the printed side on several interesting items.
