1950’s Mid-century modern cantilever sewing / hobby storage box, Atomic / Eames era

A highly collectable and very practical piece of mid-century modern furniture.  Originally designed as a sewing / hobby box, with its cantilevered construction, opening to reveal 8 compartments.  Sitting on lovely Atomic styled splayed legs, and with a bent ply handle, its form is very reminiscent of its Eames / Danish modern era origins.  A great storage solution for any retro, vintage or mid century styled interior.

Danish / Scandinavian Leather and Rosewood swivel lounge chair, circa 1960’s

Something a little different, and bigger than the usual offerings.  This lovely Danish style Rosewood stained bent ply and leather swivel lounge chair.  No makers mark, but ticks all the classic Scandinavian design boxes, and would make a great addition to any Mid-Century Modern through to minimal contemporary interior.  Available in my Ebay listings!

Seth Thomas ‘Starburst’ wall clock, with teak and chrome rays and atoms, Scotland circa 1960’s

Starburst wall clocks are one of the definitive and most iconic pieces for the Mid-Century Modern styled house.  They came in many varied designs, all stemming from George Nelson’s  classic clock designs of the early 1950’s.  With their atomic aesthetic, and teak and chrome construction, they are the perfect pairing for Danish / Eames furniture, as functional and striking pieces of wall art.
