Here’s a sneak preview of some of the items heading to our web shop this week… and what an eclectic mix it is too! From mid-century modern classics to rustic vintage industrial.

The gorgeous little work stool likely came from a workshop or factory. It’s got a lovely patina with traces of original green paint – lots of marks and indentations indicating a busy & useful life! The stool’s not finished yet though. Still strong & sturdy, it would function as a little step stool, chair-side mug or book holder, small work bench for crafting or even a display stand.

The vintage leather medicine ball also has a very attractive patina – like a freshly-fallen conker! It would still function perfectly well for its original use; i.e. physical exercise. Alternatively, you don’t have to move a muscle and just stare at it – perhaps occasionally lift it up and give it a rub… it’s very tactile. It looks great amongst other vintage sports items or alongside a stack of vintage leather cases.

Then there’s an absolute classic piece of mid-century modern design – namely the Cathrineholm coffee pot designed by Grete Prytz Kittelsen, with lotus leaf pattern by Arne Clausen. We only pick these up when condition is very good. This one certainly is that and comes in the very pleasing pale blue & white colourway. Ready for use or display (it’s another object that you’re allowed to just look at and admire!).

Last, but not least – and dating from a similar era – we have a lovely vintage desk lamp produced by Prova. It’s a very nice design – good looking and practical. The head can move up & down and side to side. We’ve had quite a few of these over the years in various colourways and we’re big fans.
