New computer desk!

January 13, 2007

I bought a new computer desk for $26.

I fit in it, which makes me think I haven’t grown since high school. And I had to scrape 2 wads of dessicated gum underneath.

New bench/coffee table!

December 31, 2006

I picked up the George Nelson 48-inch bench I bought yesterday. I’ve been looking for one of these for a long time. It was $245 at another antique store in Sellwood. It has some minor wear-and-tear damage and has some evidence of minor touch-up repairs. Other than that it’s in good condition. It’s not an original, it’s a reproduction. The dealer bought it from someone who bought it at Full Upright Position back when it existed. That makes this the 5th FUP-related piece I have (if you count the Eames dining room set as one piece and my house as another).

New chair!

December 30, 2006

I made another addition to the chair collection, a third Eero Saarinen chair, the Executive Arm Chair made by Knoll. I found it at an antique store in Sellwood for $38. It may be a knockoff since there’s something amiss with it. Take a look for yourself. It does have a Knoll label which makes me wonder if it’s an early version of the chair or a limited production variant.
