In the store: Wegner, Vodder, Cadovius and more

Check out the latest additions to the store. We're really proud of this magnificent selection of vintage items, many of which were found in beautiful original condition and some of which have been completely restored.

In the store: Case goods, tables and chairs

To make up for skipping Thursday's post, here's a little eye candy for your weekend. These are new inventory items at the store. If you haven't visited our website for a while, we'd love for you to drop by, because we've given it a brand new look.

In the store: Bird chair, Danish dining and lots of chrome

It frequently seems that we get an influx of several great new pieces at one time. The latest includes a newly powdercoated Bird Chair by Harry Bertoia for Knoll, a long Danish dining table with a set of chairs by Poul Cadovius, another Tobia Scarpa chrome plated steel and glass coffee table and a chrome chandelier.

We're having a charcoal colored pad made for the Bird Chair, so you'll be seeing it in its new duds soon. The Danish table is an impressive 94" dropleaf number that's a real stunner, and the Cadovius chairs speak for themselves.  In the past, we've sold an identical Scarpa coffee table, as well as the dining table from the same line, so we expect to sell this table easily. The chrome chandelier is very simple in design, but it packs a lot of glam.

Enjoy this look at our latest inventory additions.

In the store: Surfaces and seating

Lately we've been buying quite a bit of new inventory, but most of it has been project pieces that are either being restored now or are in line to be refinished or reupholstered, so I haven't posted pictures in a while. We finally picked up a few things that didn't need restoration and went straight to the floor.

Just yesterday morning my SIL picked up this Knoll Cyclone table by Isamu Noguchi. It's a real beauty in excellent original condition which had been used in the break room at a local doctor's office for decades.

Here's a great little Danish tea cart in teak that will soon have new casters. The top lifts off to be used as a tray. I had one similar to this before I got my larger glass-topped one, and I loved it. Whoever gets this one will have a little gem.

These Danish cane-backed chairs are in great condition. I love the angled backs. If these were mine, I'd reupholster the seats in a heavy, nubby fabric and then put some sort of low, eye-catching table between them.

This is a very early Knoll Tulip table by Eero Saarinen. It has some edge wear, but at the moment we're not planning to have it refinished. This is the type piece some serious collectors prefer in original condition, so we'll probably leave the restoration decisions to the buyer.

Paul McCobb lovers will recognize this Planner Group desk and chair immediately. The iconic pair will probably be sold quickly, as they are in high demand.

The  pièce de résistance is this huge Royal System wall unit by Poul Cadovius. This baby is massive and takes up a huge section of wall in the store. It was bought in Denmark in the 1960s by a friend of my SIL's family.
