The #kroehlerfurniture lowboy dressers are after me... maybe it’s a coincidence that the last three I’ve sold have come from the same mid century company or maybe it’s a glitch and reality as we know it is going to unravel from this moment forward... YouTube fame is inevitable - this 6 drawer dresser has mahogany paneling and these interesting brass button adornments, all above pedestal legs - 55”w x 31”t x 18”d - $395 obo https://www.instagram.com/p/BxP2Kapg2pg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kmhdgagd4nbh

This is what I want= some sacred shapes, warm drawers, cold backgrounds, handles that look like they were hammered out by bronze-age blacksmiths... veneer work that makes you wonder how much it would cost to make something this nice now. There’s a feeling embedded in the design that says, “maybe trees and computers will one day meld and people won’t be in charge anymore... we will do their bidding and we’ll all feel great about it. So just relax...” This dresser and nightstand set by #stanleyfurniture in the late 1970s / early 1980s is in shockingly good condition. Dresser 63”w, 18”d, 29.5”h and Nightstand 26”w, 16.5”d, 21.5”h - $425 sold together OR $350 dresser and $100 nightstand https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnxhGBgsvh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e4lz140zug89

The Danes are back with their storage craft. This wall unit, cabinet is teak and it was likely made by #dominomobler (only the Denmark 🇩🇰 export stamp remains). The shelves are adjustable... records will fit (etc) and if you want to get crafty with a philips head the upper cabinet itself can be moved... the wood grain has complex minimalism warlock powers. 1970s Danish Modern - 68 1/2”t x 20”d x 47.25”w - $275 obo https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxO5w_Ahw2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wcwi76z5pm5q

Put this one on the shockingly handsome list for items that exude Casual Power or Casz-Pow as we say on the streets. This highboy looks to be made of cherry wood, mahogany, or red walnut with its sides from a tiger oak (high contrast). It’s extremely well made with cuff link holders and a drawer separator. The pulls are sculptured into the side for maximum minimalism and the grain facing the front is goblin level dramatic… I’m going to say this dresser wards off toddlers. There is a subtle scrape on the top (see pic 7), makes it look rugged and unfortunately the makers mark stickers have been removed (still a little sticky on the spot where they would have been) so it’s a mystery but my guess is one of the higher end midwest houses #landstromfurniture or #hickoryfurniture etc. 37.25”w x 45”t x 18.25”d - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNH4PDAg2P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vbkvyi4binol

“You’re gonna win the poker tournament and become governor... I believe in you” says this #milobaughman for #designinstituteofamerica dining table base in brass. It’s super eleganza... I don’t have glass for it at the moment but thought I’d post it just in case someone has a glass table that they’d like to upgrade. This is meant for a 6 person table - glass should be 40” x 60” minimum. 37”w x 17.6”d x 28.5”h - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BvswblMAlIl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jmznvvzxk1nb

Well Agnes Varda, this A frame is for you... We stand here today, around the expandable Romanian table, to chairish the fire behind artistic labor. Inspiration turns into strength, strength into creativity, creativity into the desire to give and share. This dining set is one of my favorite designs all time, brought to the US via 1960s Eastern Europe... the chairs are by #aldojacober and they all collapse into the center of a mobile dropleaf table. Golden Oak- This set is in near mint condition. Closed 1’ x 3’ - open: 61.75”d x 33.75”d x 39”h. $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BvnENKqg0v6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p7t2cvfo1mft

It’s a minty green place... like a vanity stool or a vinyl poof. You can put your feet up on it or provide a seat for someone else. It’s part of the ancient aliens / psychic friends network... ergo it’s a good place to sit while taking pills and darning socks... I have a feeling this candy ottoman once served as someone’s safe place during a harrowing acid trip. (Amy repaired one of the seams, not obvious but observable). Late 1950s / early 1960s with a sparks joy color - 20”w, 12.5”t - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkJzcLgjF4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ezckd2spas02

Get ready for silk pillow fights and perfumes with names like Ascot Carburetor - these nightstands are ready to greet you in the morning then tuck you in at night. The texture is hard pale cream shell lacquer. The left one has a brass bottom that’s in great shape - the right has some wear and scratches (you can see in photo 9). I also have a highboy dresser that sort or matches them (see last pic - we should be finished with it in a few days). 25”w x 25”t x 16”d - The price is marked down to compensate for the distressed brass on the left one $Sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhZBtSgF7_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10n6kv1jzvbxq

I’m into it. Again, you need to know what you’re doing with pieces like this... 1980s hard gloss futurism. The reflection is a bit dark, somewhere between high polished chrome and mirror. You can foot fetish upon yourself for hours on end. You can strike a balance between money and fun making. You can bring children happiness without lifting a finger... you can be a glamorous Russian Studio 54 cosmonaut. This is a nine drawer dresser from the late 1970s / early 1980s in excellent condition. The mirror is grey tinted (no red or orange, you’re just seeing the reflection of the ground) 30.25”t x 20”d x 71”w - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/Bveuy-Wg216/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10y33vs9emnua

Ahoy LA - you got the curtains wet! 😳 Capture into your mind’s eye this brass and subtly tinted glass #milobaughman style #douglasfurniture mid 1970s coffee table (or cocktail table). The brass is in medium good condition, some wear is evident here and there (see pic 8)... new brass is offensive anyway. The table looks to have come with another lower glass piece, we’re marking the price down accordingly but I can tell you where to get a new piece if you’d like (about $60 to match the tint and curves)... or you could have them cut the top glass into three and have a sloping hill-scape of glass and it’ll go well with your #milobaughmanetagere .... Or you can do nothing and just lie about like a big lazy glob watching the same episode of the Expanse over and over because you keep losing focus. 21”w x 49”l x 16.2”d - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BvSa3szAssX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o3mgumo2tpi1

For those of you that would buy drama cancelling head phones if somehow such a thing existed (engineer, neurology, psychic physicists needed) then perhaps this low profile mid century red walnut desk is the first step. It has a charcoal laminate top and a hidden pen drawer for minimalist doodling. 43”w, 24”d, 28.5”h - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCpnDzgNYs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c6bpj87x4zt6

Sometimes you’ve got to lower the brilliance and raise the exposure in this white curtained office of my mind... where furniture poses and do-si-dos, we can’t hide in the shadows but must step out into the world. This place is desk rich and everyone must know. Here we have a bamboo desk with glossy wood laminate top. It’s rather attractive and can double as a bar when the situation arises. 39.5”w, 20.25”d, 32”h - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/BvA1kimAhDW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2pmz7jjywbo8

Early 80s teak desk with a d-scan chair... minimal, small but large enough for an adult, ph balanced for a teen with an innernet addiction. The drawers are smooth. The chair is from Denmark, the desk is a similar style but doesn’t have a maker mark... could be from somewhere in Asia (lots of 80s teak is). Desk: 41”w, 23.5”d, 28”h - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7FpCJAYps/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lmdavd7lxz72

Lets be clear, Clarissa... we are not living in the past, the past is living in the future. This dresser could be a pure line of minimalist design, it could be a storm trooper, it could be your new friend and holder of shirts... 1980s white laminate with a black recess that make it look like the drawers come from some other dimension deep within. 70”w x 17.75”d x 31”t - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu44b90AERE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6hmmc968br3t

Did you know that Elvira (Cassandra Peters) used to hang around the Andy Warhol crew in her late teens / early 20s? It’s obvious if you think about it... All the puzzle pieces of life fit together, it’s all one big gloopy blob that only seems to have breaks and chasms. This early 1970s vinyl sofa (its size is in between a sofa and love seat / settee) is in shockingly good shape. No big flaws or observable imperfections - the piece is upholstered all the way around and it’s red maple frame has a nice geometric integrity... tufted like a chesterfield / classy grandpa that crosses between cult and culture. 62”w, 34”d, 25”h - $sold https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4at60AeBq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=29gbyjteocyi

Salon Vanity from the 1930s... the mirror is taller than the standard home version. You don’t have to perch like a troll upon a foot stool but instead you can be groomed by a fully grown hair witch (that’s how I refer to my barber). The veneer is red maple, the trim is chestnut, the handles are bronze and Bakelite. This is the 1930s... a great depression survivor. 46”w, 17”d, 64”h - $sale pending https://www.instagram.com/p/Burmrtzg_DX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l3gs1lnu7533
