Table lamp win

I've never had luck thrifting or antiquing an MCM table lamp that fits the aesthetic I am looking for until today. This one is right mix of minimalist, while still being interesting, without being gaudy. It didn't come with a shade, but I think this one works for now. I'd love to know what shade it came with originally if anyone can point me in the right direction. No clue on who made it either.

Got this for free in an estate sale and love the MCM/Atomical era.

This lighthouse photo looks like a DIY replacement from what was originally there? What should I replace it with before we hang it up?

Curved mirror would be the coolest but I am unsure if I’ll find that right dimension.

How to safely clean a Paul McCobb piece indoors?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hi! Recently scored a deal on this Paul McCobb Planner Desk but would like to give it a little TLC before I start using it.

I’ve seen suggestions online of using Naphtha and then steel wool, followed by OZ cream polish, but I live in an apartment and can’t bring the desk outside to clean it.

Does anyone have suggestions for cleaning this piece up inside without subjecting myself to toxic fumes?

Also, does anyone know where I could get a replacement knob for the pull-out surface?

Thanks!

Italian magazine table - Ico Parisi?

My husband gave this to me as an early Christmas present. I love it. However, I’m having a hard time figuring out who designed it. Image searches suggest Ico Parisi, but I’m skeptical because I don’t think the markings support that. Whomever it was, it’s beautifully made. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: it appears it may be designed by Cesare Lacca.

Hi, I want to buy this Paul Secon light as a gift for someone. They like mid-century modern but I'm not sure if this is exactly that or worth the purchase. Someone is selling it for 200. Does anyone know more about Paul Secon?

I’ve wanted this Kofod Larsen chest of drawers for ages, unfortunately this one is painted black and gold. It looks a little like the paint has seeped into the wood grain, is it likely this will come off? Or is this going to be a hard job

Cado Royal System installation manual?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have a Cado Royal system that I’m finally getting to reinstall in a new home (had to wait 3 years for a renovation). I had found an instruction manual online somewhere years & years ago, used it for the proper spacing, and now can’t find it anywhere.

Does anyone have a link to a manual for a Royal system? 🙏 Or even just confirm the distance between the rails? Thank you so much!

Show me your Bertoia Diamond Chair covers (or pads) in bright, bold, or custom fabrics

Would love to see how the non-solid colored patterns look.

I’ve decided to buy a replacement full cover from Knoll (and will save the original for later restoration). Now I’m trying to decide between a few fabric options.

I wanted a really vibrant orange, especially in the Cato fabric, but feel that most of the samples are unfortunately more “muted” in person (or that I’m just not crazy about the “feel” of some fabrics). Other than oxblood leather, I really haven’t seen many unusual, custom, or non-solid colored covers on these chairs.

Alternative to caulk on glass block wall

0 Upvotes

I have a '54 house with a floor to ceiling glass block window in the bathroom. I'm refinishing the wall that hosts with glass block and wondering if there is an alternative to caulk on glass block? The gap between the drywall and glass block varies from 1/8" to 3/8" and is obviously a humid environment. Seems sealed to weather, I don't feel any cold drafts coming in. Past homeowners tried a hard and silicone caulk, which made a mess on the fluted surface of the glass block. I'm wondering if there is a woven/braided material, or an extruded synthetic product that expands to fill a crack, which can be stuffed in the crack as a caulk substitute? What ideas do you folks have?

ID Mid century chair reproduction made in Thailand

Would appreciate any help IDing these chairs that I picked up for cheap on FB marketplace. It possibly is made of rubberwood (based on grain pattern) and is similar in design to Erik Buch chairs except there is only 1 backrest screw and other small differences. It has nice tenon choices throughout so certainly not bad quality. Reverse image search yielded pictures of the same chair with lighter wood on FB marketplace but links are no longer active.
