Set of 4 Panton Chairs and Glass Top Table

The Panton Chair is a classic in the history of modern furniture design.  From the early 1950's, Danish designer Verner Panton had desired to create a stackable, cantilevered chair out of a single piece of moulded plastic.  In 1960, the chair was developed to the point where it could go into production.  It was the first chair to be manufactured completely out of a single piece of plastic.  Since its introduction to the market, it has undergone a number of design modifications and been produced by various manufacturers including Herman Miller.  While this set has been attributed to Herman Miller,

it doesn't have a Herman Miller stamp or label, so we can't confirm the manufacturer.
The chairs are very comfortable due to the cantilever structure and the flexibility of the polystyrene.  The table has a glass top and hollow tubular legs.  It would make a great breakfast or kitchen set.
The Panton Chair has received many international design awards over the years and resides in the collections of many prominent museums including the MoMA.
Chairs, 32" h., 20" w., 20" d.  Table, 41" diam., 27" h.  American, c. 1970's  $1,275.00 for the set  SALE $795.00 for the set
Condition:  3 Chairs and table are in good - very good vintage condition with some typical age appropriate marking and color variance in the polystyrene.  1 chair has a small piece missing from the side of the seat, but it does not affect the structure and still shows well.  The chair could be restored.

Woodard Windows

A Window with a (Inter) View

Our new windows pay tribute to Andy Warhol who would be turning 88 in a few weeks.  Long before there was the Internet, there was Interview.  Andy Warhol's Interview magazine was the best source in the 1970's and 80's for who to wear, who and what to watch, where to dance, dine, shop, and just generally finding out what was happening with the "in-crowd".  It was a great pre-Kardashian time when celebrities generally had to have a talent or accomplish something to achieve a celebrity status.  Looking through this collection of magazines is always a fun NYC throwback with its ads for restaurants, clubs, stores and designers....  Mortimers, Florent, Jerry's, Cafe Luxembourg; Area, Limelight, Pyramid; Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci, Susan Bennis/ Warren Edwards, Agnes b..... and interviews with everyone from Nick Rhodes, Grace Jones and Madonna to Nastassia Kinski, Kathleen Turner, and Jane Fonda.
The chairs and tables are 1970's and were designed by Milo Baughman.  The chairs are newly reupholstered in a dove grey velvet.  The geometric vases are new and in keeping with the Warhol theme contain fresh daisies.  Chairs, SOLD  Tables, SOLD for set of three (nesting).  Vases, $56.00 each

Period Pictures

If you check out our blog regularly, you might have noticed that, when possible, we like to post period pictures of pieces we have in the shop.  I think it's interesting to see pieces in original photos, ads or editorial layouts and what life and interiors were like when these pieces were new.  This picture was taken in the early 1950's at the Clemson House at Clemson University where my dad went to school.  That's him in the striped tie with the very pretty Miss South Carolina in period polka dots.  You might recognize the chairs from yesterday's posting.....early Eames...... probably pretty fresh off the showroom floor.  The whole restaurant was furnished with them.
