more milano

These guys have a cool vintage furniture store in Milano.

I have no idea what any of this says,

but if you can speak Italian, 

and will be in Milan for the furniture fair,

this could be worth checking out, and definitely fun!

Spazio 900 

Sottsass Enamels

Damn, I knew I should have gone to Milan this year.

If you are lucky enough to be there,

make sure to check out this show.

Fulvio and Napoleone always do an amazing job with their exhibitions.

3 days until "Milan"

Alice Rawsthorn wonders in the New York Times whether or not the world needs another chair as

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile

 aka the Milan Furniture Fair looms on the horizon.

(It opens Wednesday.)

I say not really (so does she) unless it is REALLY amazing.

So until that happens, let's bring back some overlooked classics like

the Sedia, designed by my hero, Enzo Mari, in 1974.

It is being reissued by Artek.

It comes unassembled in unfinished pine.

My hero shows how to assemble it:

Long Island Moderns

The peeps over at Resolution: 4 Architecture sent out a final warning 

for all to see the show:

Arcadia/Suburbia: Architecture on Long Island, 1930-2010

It's only up for another week, so get you butts over there!

You can also buy the book on Amazon here, but it's much cooler to buy it at the 

Heckscher Museum Bookstore!

Kiosk goes to Washington, I mean Iceland

The super Kool Kats at Kiosk are launching a mini-exhibition on 

kandy, I mean CANDY from Iceland.

Who else would think of that???

Look for it any day now

Eames Auction -The Show Must Go On.... UPDATED

Well the Boys and Girls at Wright are carrying on with their amazing Eames auction despite the BULLSHIT the Eames Spawn are pulling with the lawsuit.

(See NY Times article here and Business Week here.)

Geeze kids, it took you 21 years to realize you owned the material???

Sound like SOUR GRAPES to me.

I think what Eames and Lucia Demetrios are doing with the Eames Foundation is great,

and I think it was a travesty that Vitra got the archives and prototypes, 

but you had plenty of time children to take this up with the Neuhart's

while the material was in your backyard.

To spring this on Wright and the Neuhart's in the 11 hour is, well,

not cool....

UPDATE:

Signs of a truce???

Coming Soon???
