The Scimitar chair by Preben Fabricius and Jorgen Kastolm, made out of stainless steel and leathe. Partners Fabricus and Kastolm are Danish designers working mainly in the 1960's this chair is one of their major designs along with the FK 87 grasshopper. The chair had an estimate between $7-9000 and sold for $9375.
The slab of walnut is a great contrast to the delicate splayed legs of this coffee table, it can be both masculine and feminine. The design is of a time but could work anywhere. The brass accents put this table over the top for me. Designed by Ico and Luisa Parisi this table was right in the middle of the estimate and sold for $12.500.
The console version of this design also sold, but looks a bit disproportionate compared to the coffee table and has chromed brass accents instead of the unfinished brass.
Yes, it is a coat rack wrapped in leather. Not to be mistaken for any other kind of pole, the functioning part of the coat rack is ended in teak and rosewood balls. Designed by Osvaldo Borsani in the early 1960's this coat rack is over the top and would look great in my house.
People lament that things are not built as well as they used to be. Proof positive. Warren McArthur designed this stool in the 1930's for use. Judging by the wear on the top it was. A great no frills design.
