Whew! 7-legged furniture is not the easiest to find! Vladamir Kagan‘s avant garde work “Serpentine Sofa” will do! Kagan was an American designer who just passed away one year ago, on April 7.

Those are the essential ingredients of long-term sitting. [Plus their action […]

All are for sale at reasonable prices. These Emeco Navy bar stools are timeless – in fashion and indestructible material. They’ll find a good home. Jojo […]
Why, he’s my favorite chair I’ve ever owned. And I am stumped on his origins. I found Henry (or he found me?) at a second hand shop for next to nothing, and I’m convinced he has a noble heritage. He’s unique in design and in construction. Such a low-sitting cantilever; and 1 1/4″ diameter tubes. (For comparison, […]
Just the sights in my alleyway, this morning. Well-loved seats on their way to the dump, coloring the street for a short moment, like fall leaves. I guess the ‘no dumping mattresses’ sign needs amended.
