The house excavation hasn’t started yet and we’re already buying stuff to put in the house. Tina made a great find at Barge Canal Market on Pine Street. Two Cantilever Cane Chairs designed by Mies Van Der Rohe in 1927. We’ll need to have some caning repairs done but they are in great condition — the chrome near perfect.
When I went with Tina to check out the chairs we saw a great sofa that seems like a good fit for our main room. It was made by the Troy Sunshade Company probably back in the 50’s or 60’s. Troy Sunshade featured some interesting mid-century designers including Gilbert Rohde and Donald Deskey. We’re uncertain who designed this particular sofa, however, it will also need a little work — the gold, vinyl upholstery is in good shape but not exactly what we’d like.
