Work, life, so on, has gotten in the way of my minor activities, for example, this blog, furniture design, sleep. The lamp in the last post has been finally made (I had 4 built to test the water), I am having it photographed to post on Supermarkethq (where I sell some of my other stuff). So this is a quick note of update from Hastings on Hudson: I just came back from a trip to Palm Springs, CA. A mid century Mecca. My friend Stu lives there with his lovely wife, Meredith, and their 8 month old, Pip. While there we visited a great vintage furnishings shop called Hedge, run by two nice gentlemen (Thomas and Charles). They showed us around and as I'm an avid coffee drinker I was drawn to this coffee pot. Well, they had many in the process of repair and were so kind to let this go cheap. I love this shape, the streamlined vertical the opposing angles of the spout and handle, and of course the warmth of the teak handle contrasting with the pewter. It's amazing elegant. The only info I've discovered about this is it's a Royal Holland KDM and is part of a four-part set.
