Elise Table Lamps Designed by Pablo Pardo


I found two Pablo Pardo Elise lamps in goodwill today. They were a major steal. The 18" was 1.99 and the 12" was $2.99.  They were still in the bubble wrap. Designed in 1998

Curbside Pickup: 1960s Steelcase Seating


I was driving down a long country road. As I pass the town's firehouse I see a Knoll-ish coffee out of the corner of my eye. I turn around and check it out. There was a large square 1960s Steelcase coffee table (wobbly legs), junky modern office chair, and these two chairs with an attached coffee table by the trash.  I took the coffee table off and nabbed these 2 chairs for free. Pushed together they make a nice "loveseat". The naugahyde is in great condition, and so is the steel. they are pictured in these vintage advertisements from Fortune Magazine.
