E8 A Go-Go

So while my potential house move continues in a constant state of flux, obviously my eye stays firmly placed on how I'm going to furnish this (potentially fictional) abode.

Hackney-based Chase and Sorensen have just announced a pre-Christmas sale and are having a good old clearout. Check out this set of 6 CH-30 dining chairs by Hans J. Wegner.

"These chairs are constructed of teak and oak and feature lovely design details such as the butterfly joints at the backrest. In terrific condition".

Quickly. Before I get there.

Ants 'n' Eggs

I had to post these pics after yesterday's mention of Arne Jacobsen. Both the Egg (left) and Ant (right) are featured in the Modern Warehouse update I received this morning and are available to buy. Both are gorgeous examples - the red leather is amazing, and the teak is really stunning - both look in superb condition.

Sign up to the Modern Warehouse emails for details of when they're open for browsing (if you live in London). They're really tucked away near Hackney Wick, but worth hunting down - they have a constantly rotating stock of the best in mid-century modern pieces.

Propping Up The Bar

So, I'm in the process of buying the flat I fell in love with, and am desperately trying not to get excited about it in case it falls through.

But I have no self discipline and am now in the process of mentally redesigning the kitchen. I want some bar stools and love the classic design of the wire Harry Bertoia chairs, but the ones I'm totally heads over heels about are these Danish beauties, in teak and rosewood, designed by Erik Buck, which I've just discovered.

Now, where are my Lottery numbers?
