Surfing Cowboys

Surfing Cowboys is a store in Venice, California that specializes in mid century furnishings, rare cultural icons and even vintage surfboards. They have so many fantastic items listed on their site, I just had to post some of my favourites.

ucinteriors and wonk

Sarah emailed me to let me know about a website she and some friends started, ucinteriors, where people from all over the world can share photos of their flats, young designers can present their work, members can post articles and ask questions and all sorts of fun stuff. It's only a week old and they plan to build up a social international network for everyone who is interested in how people live all over the world and who wants to get in contact with people from other countries. So go have a peek. Here are some photos from the site.

I also received an email from Tom at Wonk (in New York) to say they are opening their second shop in Williamsburg and are having a little party the 22nd to celebrate (6:30 pm 160 North 4th Street b/t Bedford and Driggs). Great store...here's a sample.

Saarinen Tulip Table

In the 1940’s Eero Saarinen developed this pedestal table, along with the Tulip chair, as part of his research of "organic furniture.” The Tulip Table started out with a cast iron base. It came with various tops in laminate, marble or wood, could be round or oval, and was available in various sizes. Today, the base is made of cast aluminum same as the chairs. A fabulous table that looks good with any chair, modern or traditional. A beautiful sculpture, a piece of art.

PS I have a sneaking suspicion that one of these tables is the infamous Ikea Docksta. Can you pick which one?

Mirrored furniture

Mirrored furniture is so glamourous. Not only can you see your fabulous reflection in it, but it adds sparkle to a room and is light in terms of visual weight. So have a look at these amazing pieces and why not go out and get yourself something mirrored like Pink Mohair did.
