In the spirit of sharing, here's another of our recent finds and faves: EamesLoft.com
This is actually a brick-and-mortar space in Brisbane, California advertised a lot on Craigslist. It's run by Tim and Tom who scour the west coast for great finds and offer them up at unbelievable prices… and deliver (locally), too.
You won't find an original Wegner Poppa Bear chair there, but you will find some great, and often one-of-a-kind pieces. Tim works behind the scenes at the airport and has been able to rescue quite a few modernist/industrial pieces — specifically Herman-Miller parts — and reassembles them into custom configurations. See the picture below with the ivory seat, table and teak cabinet… something like this would work really well against an Eichler window for extra seating/storage and a bit of window protection.
In addition to finding them online, they have a few choice pieces in the showroom of India-Rose — ironically, a shop owned by a colleague in the design world (and a happy surprise). Much of their pieces are seen best in photos online as their main space is a bit cramped at the moment as you can see in the pictures.
But don't let the lack of a glitzy space fool you — you couldn't hope for a cooler and more genuine pair of guys. We're always happy to find nice people in the world… and nice stuff.
