ARTEMIDE DEDALOTTO


After years of intense researches, this is it, i got a Dedalotto (even 2 ... a white one too ! ). Gotta buy some flowers to my Old Lady (damn i should stop watching Sons Of Anarchy !) ! :))

SPIROS SPIROS SPIROS SPIROS




A couple of new Spiros ashtrays (a spare yellow and a black one) Still looking for and orange/red and white ! Drop me a mess if you can "help" ! :))
And please no comment on my white pool ball ... ;) For 5$ the spare yellow i could not be too demanding !

PANASONIC PANAPET & TOOT A LOOP




Colorful and funny portable radios from Japan ! Wrist or belt ... it's up to you !

ANGELO MANGIAROTTI'S SECTICON CLOCKS









God i love these clocks ... As you can see, 4 new arrivals since last update and other coming up if i'm lucky !

DEDALO DEDALOTTO DEDALINO






Introducing the little family ! All designed by Emma Gismondi Schweinberger for Artemide in 1966, you have 3 different size and use, the small are pencil older(dedalino), the middle are flower vases (dedalotto), and the large are umbrella older (dedalo). The vases are pretty hard to find (i guess it wasn't a succes back then ... ). Received just this morning yellow and green dedalinos from Australia, white, red black and white dedalinos are from Spain and the 2 dedalottos arrived last week from Japan !! Damn ... what a trip ! I think that Teddy Qui Dit (http://www.flickr.com/photos/teddy_qui_dit/page1/ ) would agree with me saying that yellow and green was not produce in europe but only in Australia (a bit like Joe Colombo's KD28 that you can find over there in much more colors !).

DID YOU SAY TELEGONO ?


One more Telegono for my collection ! This time in red ...

PALLADE ARTEMIDE STUDIO TETRARCH



Today's features is the orange Pallade lamp by Studio Tetrarch for Artemide ... standing on a Knoll International marble ashtray ! This HUGE lamp has never been re-edited !

Got some fun dedalos from a closing office monthes ago ... don't even know if i have a single umbrella ! Years ago i bought the Stacy Dukes yellow child stool for 2 $ ! this color is just unfindable and it's made of fiberglass ! A mystery ....

KD27 JOE COLOMBO for KARTELL 1 2 3



God i love Joe Colombo ... Orange/red/white ... still green, black and yellow to go !

UTEN SILO DOROTHEE BECKER DESIGN M


No need to introduce this classic ! I really wanted to buy a vintage one (i love stuffs with a past and history), this is the little one (UTENSILO2).
If you want to get one, you gotta know that the Vitra reissue is the exact copy (with signature ....) Got a precise look at it in a shop in Paris ... this is great work really !

KNOLL INTERNATIONAL SAARINEN STOOL

Found this stool for a couple of bills !!!! And this one swivels ! Yes it is ! :)

SECTICON



Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti, these SECTICON clocks are just awesome ! From 1966, there design was so much "avant garde" ! There are several models, but i really think this one is the best (H:24cm) ! And pretty heavy too .... Sadly very hard to find, but worth the "time" ! :))

SAARINEN KNOLL TULIP CHAIRS SECOND BIRTH




Yep, these are not shadows ... but real vintage dirt !!


After almost 15 years of research i've finally managed to grab these swiveling babies ! For quite an honest price actually ! After about 16 hours of cleaning, restoring and searching for new cushions, they are back in business for another 50 years ! And you best believe i'm gonna take extra good care of these beauties !! :)
Uncle F, i owe you one ....
