More 1960s furniture finds......

Finding myself with some down time over Christmas I have been tempted onto Ebay again looking for more vintage furniture and things.  Actually, I got a great book for Christmas -Miller's Mid-Century Modern: Living with Mid-Century Modern Design and this has reminded me of the Midwinter Pottery amongst other great vintage design.  I absolutely love this Zambesi range and I am currently stalking some of this for sale online - too expensive I think but I will keep watching..

Midwinter Zambesi Coffee Set

One of the great designers for Midwinter was Jessie Tait - LINK HERE to an article from The Guardian about her (obituary) Zambesi is one of her designs along with Primerva and Festival - all really great designs and available reasonably priced online.

However, today I have bought a pair of Guy Rogers Chairs online through Ebay from http://sweet-vintage.com/

They should look great in the garden room.  The frames have been restored but I may need to redo the upholstery.  Guy Rogers Ltd made furniture in Speke in Liverpool in the 1960s for companies like Heals.  Their style was very simple, clean and modern with clear Scandinavian influences.  These chairs are made from Afromosia wood (a type of teak) and there is lots of this wood in the interior detailing of our house so they should fit in just fine.

Anyway that's enough for now - I have to get back online!!  So much fun to be had re- discovering some of these fab designs at really reasonable prices!
