vintage fair!

those of you who have been eagle-eyed to notice; its been a good 2 weeks that i've been trying to upload these pics onto the blog - i think its just the timing - sometimes it isn't as fast..

but the wait is over - here are some pics from the vintage design fair that I was helping out at..

pretty pretty things for the study, the lounge, the living room, the cigar room or even the conservatory!

and the amazing thing is; its not even super expensive! sometimes, the vintage version of a design piece is cheaper than a modern reproduction by the same studio...so you get a slightly worn, but really amazing piece of history!

and the old-timers...what can I say - for €40,000 (about S$100k)...i'd get it if i could afford it..

amazing stuff they made yah?

funny story behind this pic: back when we were living in Seah Street, we had to clear ut some really grotty/dusty/yucky fabric upholstered chairs from the apartment when we first moved in...

and looking at this original Eames from the 50s, i realised 2 things:

1) its amazing but very true how the humidity and heat affect things even only after 50 years

2) we must have then thrown out original made-in-china copies of these Eames chairs!! (but without the cool legs and the metal struts)
