Seeing Double

Mid-Century Danish Style Settee

Remember those two twins from The Shining, holding hands, eerie in their symmetry and blue dresses? "Come play with me, Danny..." They beckoned from a narrow corridor. Well, this settee sort of reminds me of those twins, so I wouldn't necessarily place it at the end of a long hall. But with the severely straight lines and sharp blue and white contrast, there is something strikingly minimal and beautiful about this ensemble.

Mid-Century Orange & Blue Lounge Chairs

Something about this pairing of chairs suggests that they’re in conversation. For some reason, I can’t imagine one without the other. These great looking chairs with their strange bright colors suggest a certain confidence, and be sure that their ‘conversation’ is full of disparaging remarks and tawdry rumors of the rest of the furniture in the room.

1950's Mid-Century Night Stands

If there were a spin-off of Toy Story about furniture, these two would represent Mid-Century modern. I mean, how cute? Each precious one, always at your side as you sleep, full of little lullabies and sweet nothings.

McCobb Corner Table

This corner table is serving up some mod realness. It will hold your cocktail and maybe a small plate of hors d'oeuvres, but, be careful - it'll cut you.
