Danish Modern Fabulousness find

[petek]

I just got home from the gym and stopped at a little thrift store enroute. I almost peed my pants in excitement when I saw this beauty sitting in the corner.

Now I bring it in the house and that creature I live with says "You're not bringing that old piece of junk upstairs, take it to the basement" Anyone got the Murder for Hire number LOL

All You Need Now:

Is some cup hooks, and you can ripen bananas till the cows come home ;-)

Seriously, that's a rare survival. It appears to be American-made, and it dates from around 1963, the height of Danish Modern's mass popularity. Lamps in general take a beating, and floor lamps seem to get it worst of all, so finding something like that in that condition is fan-freakin'-tastic.

Very - very - cool find.

Wonderful!

Nice lamp! I like the simplicity of the design. You don't see that very often anymore.

Sandy.. you're probably right. As nice as it is and it is in primo condition it definitely doesn't have that "quality, polished feel" to it, but that's ok. I've got a loveseat a chair and another floor lamp.. Now I need to make some room to set them up it properly, some day LOL

The funny thing is I was wanting a floor lamp for behind this green vintage sectional, when Dave stayed over the other weekend it was kinda awkward having to get up and flip wall switches, this does just perfect there for now.

Wow . . .

I love that lamp, what a beauty!

Pete,

Just what are you doing with my Mixmaster on your coffee table? I say put the lamp upstairs, and the other half goes in the basement. lol

Great find Pete! All your Danish is confined to the downstairs, isn't it? I love lamps and hanging lights. I want to put my hanging lamp in the dining area, and put my fancy table lamps to good use soon.

"Now I bring it in the house and that creature I live with says 'You're not bringing that old piece of junk upstairs, take it to the basement'"

That happened to me, and it would be the "creature" who'd be moving to the basement! (Easy words for someone who's single to say!)

Nice find!

Great lamp, Pete!!!

You do have the luck when thrifting I'm sure that you'll find a spot that will please both of you! If not...to the basement it goes BUT please make sure you feed him from time to time )
