VINTAGE FURNITURE - I FOUND A HERMAN MILLER EAMES TABLE!

Dear All

Good designs and good furniture are seldom missed by discerning eyes.  They recognize gems even in their raw and rundown states and grab them at the first opportunity and with creative taste, transformed them into the deserving stature that these furniture are. I witnessed so many of these creative transformations over the years and salutes the creative spirits behind them.

These creative souls are no longer captive to old ideas of furnishings,  are opened to experimentation with colours, finishings and fabrics, bold to combine various period styles without being discordant, and happily mixing and matching pieces that will create a personalized space, unique and meaningful to them and their loved ones. Watching them and dealing with them, is really a joy. And I learned a lot too in the process.

6 pieces of midcentury teak dining chairs that Marcus and Rie 

unearthed from the back of our shop and get us to restore and 

reupholster for them. The result is a beautiful transformation.

A pair of midcentury teak chairs reupholstered in vintage fabric for 

Jeffrey Tay. Vintage fabric from Second Charm

 

5 pieces of mid century scan teak chairs.  The wooden frames

are still in good condition but would require reupholstery for the seats

They are really worth restoring because they are one of those

scandinavian designs that will remain as classics.  

2 taken up by Jeffrey Tay.  3 pcs available.

Retro sofa taken up by Melinda together with 3 singles

armchairs of the same period.  She chose plain cream coloured

fabric for a modern, clean look. 

Pencil retro armchair taken up by Athalee Brown.

Art deco 1950's table.  Makes an ideal TV stand. 

Taken up by Sarah Hawkins

An art deco teak side coffee table in black paint to be restored

to natural teak stain for Sarah Hawkins.

A solid pine dining table repainted in white.

Athalee Brown scourged through the top floor of our Kuala Lumpur 

shop and discovered these cane dining chairs among stacks of chairs 

and have us painted white for her.  The result is a fresh, warmth look.

Batik fabric for the cushion covers gave the set a local flavour.

A high back cane armchair given a fresh look with white coat

Part of several cane furniture taken up by Athalee Brown.

This cane footstool originally in natural light brown colour and cream 

fabric has been lying around at our shop for sometime until Athalee 

recognizes the potential and have us repainted it in white 

 and reupholstered it into beautiful velvet tufted cushion.

A lovely cane lounge chair and footstool set.  The original cushions are

reversible in fabric on one side and leather on the other side.

A perfect set in one's balcony or patio.

An old  solid teak wooden top 100 x 70 cm on a vintage sewing 

machine legs. We have yet to stain the wooden top.

4 sturdy Friedrich-W Dauphin (West Germany) swivel office chairs.

Arms lined with leather.

4  pieces  of Wiesner Hager lounge chairs.  2 reserved by

Martin.  2 more available.

5 pieces of Besucherstuhl chairs.

A french armchair that can be very beautiful with the right

upholstery. Wooden frame in good condition

3 wooden stools - broad and sturdy.  2 taken up. One available.

A wooden chair - english windsor style chair.  

2 more in whites available.

A cute high standing magazine rack.

A low cane magazine rack in black.

A  lovely green painted magazine holder.

A vintage cane rack

W20 x D14 x H29.5 inches

Another vintage cane rack.

W28 x D12 x H34 inches

Vintage 1970's solid teak formica top foldable table.

L35 x W35 x H30 inches

Vintage 1960's solid teak dresser with tall mirror.

Original condition.

I found vintage Herman Miller tables! 7 pieces in all.

I was attracted to the legs of the tables, slim and slender.

Underneath the laminate table top is the Herman Miller 

brand sticker and a printed serial number

A greyish , distressed solid wooden bench.  2 pieces. Both taken

up by Mei Ling, a chef and restauranteur,  for her F & B at Fort Caning.

A nostalgic piece of the 60's and 70's. A vintage kitchen larder or 

meat safe.  We will probably put wire mesh on the front 

as most original meat safes in the past were.

A contemporary dining table.  Also makes a good conference table.

L63 x W36 x H30 inches

Doing this blog alongside watching the election results.

Till my next posting, 

Warmest regards
