Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

Figured I'd update this since I posed the question to the thread. We ended up going with an early Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin lounge chair. Given that our house has more of a bungalow feel, we felt the rattan detailing and corduroy cushions give it a warmer feel that's more in line with our house. While I love the hardcore MCM stuff, not living in a white-walled concrete box makes it a bit harder to blend. I think this chair strikes the right balance. Now just need to find a small end table and should be good to go...

That looks very good.

I think the table would be best if it were dark wood, very simple, center-legged, round or oval, slightly larger (but not much more) than the silver round drinks tray and oval votive.

Any plans for maybe a white door/doors to close off the recess?

No plans for for the recess as of now. That stems from the likelihood that we'll be renovating our bathroom in the next year or so. That wall backs up to the master bathroom and we're likely to extend the existing closet, meaning that recess will be walled off. That will create a whole new dynamic to the room, obviously, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Totally agree on the side table. The hunt for that... continues. Thanks for the thoughts!

I see, that makes sense.

The table will make itself known to you, I think, because you have so much else in place now. Maybe even in a thrift store/swap meet/etc. Some of the Jens Risom pieces might work too, like his "T.710" or "Triangle Table", but even a real antique, something simple and direct but not excessively angular (like an English country pedestal side table) could be good too.

Anyone have a recommendation on a good desk or table for a workspace? I decided I really like the Eiermann 1 table:

but I can't seem to find a shop that will ship it to the US for a price that doesn't put it into a better category of desks (the EDU, eg). I like how flexible and simple the E1 is.

Hi! I can be recommendation to you

I love the minimalist style of these vases, handmade here in Santa Fe. We are commissioning a few more pieces from the maker Modern Folk Ware.

Nice.
Reminiscent of some of Lagardo Tackett's work.

Omega, are you familiar with DeWain Valentine's "Circle" series? They are amazing, and photographs do not do them justice. In real life in a gallery they really do dissolve into infinity. The effect is incredibly beautiful in person.

DeWain Valentine, "Circles".

That console is nuts. Who made it/what is it?

It looks a lot like the line media console at dwr.

You should ask the target cashier. I'm sure she will know design within reach.
