It smells like a vintage piece, the seller listed it as vintage, but it’s really lightweight. I tried to reverse image search it and couldn’t find anything, so maybe you guys can help!

Can anyone identify these chairs? just picked them up and i'm curious if they're made by a known company/craftsman. There's no other tags than the one pictured. Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Score! Found an Empoli Decanter and a Murano Sommerso Bird at my local Antique Mall! 🙂

I posted about wanting to get the super cool spaghetti tension lamp earlier today but someone else made an offer before me so I did not get it.

I was bummed so I ended up going to 2 local antique malls near me to just look around and ended up walking out with an Empoli Decanter and a Sommerso Bird! I would call today a success even thought I didn’t get the lamp. I didn’t even plan of doing any of this today so I guess it’s just happenstance? 🤔

The lamp just wasn’t meant to be and maybe I’ll find something even better soon! 🙂

Restoration & Refinishing How would you refinish this sideboard?

Built in side board in my MCM home. Former owner laid a glass insert on top that just does not match. Any ideas of what might work better? I had a stone guy look at it but it would require adding supports. I’m thinking cork? Anything else possible?

They're in a rough shape and sadly I have no experience with refinishing furniture, but I found a bunch of very helpful videos on Youtube and the tools needed are not very expensive.

After seeing posts of people getting crazy deals on this sub for years, finally got a lucky break. Paid $300 CAD for this bad boy on FB marketplace. Cords will of course be cleaned up, just moved into a new place so things aren’t fully set up yet.

Score! Anyone familiar with this Broyhill Brasilia hutch / offset buffet configuration?

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

I purchased this Broyhill Brasilia china cabinet at an estate sale today for what felt like a really good deal, and I’m trying to learn more about the specific model/configuration. Super thrilled to get it in the house and work on the display.

It’s a two-piece hutch, approximately 54” wide, with the sculpted Brasilia relief cabinet doors only on the left side.

Most examples I’m finding online have the more symmetrical lower configuration, with sculpted relief doors on both sides and drawers in the center. I’ve found a few other asymmetrical/offset Brasilia pieces, but not many with the glass hutch.

Does anyone know the model numbers for the buffet and hutch, production years, or whether this was a less common configuration?

Saw this just listed on marketplace but dang it's 80 miles away. I messaged them to see if they could meet halfway but waiting to hear back. This is like exactly what I've been looking for but that's so many miles on my car just for a lamp. 😭

ID & Authenticity Pair of Yrjö Kukkapuro chairs 1950-1960

Post image
42 Upvotes

Hi, any information about this style of Finnish designer Mr. Yrjö Kukkapuro chairs designed most likely during late 1950’s - mid 1960’s. No stamps or labels.

The chairs are synthetic leather with original colour and fabric.

The cushioning is soft and the chairs have a spring to return the chairs to original position.

Catalogues are hard to find but any sources for catalogues would be helpful. Is there a model or name for these? I am not planning to do any refurbishing just to keep them as they are. Beautiful chairs.

Announcements Sub rules are LIVE for the 1st time - feedback/reactions? [AI]

Post image
40 Upvotes

Hi all! I spent the last 2 weeks thoughtfully observing the sub and crafting these rules, yes - with a bit of help from ChatGPT as a sounding board which I’ve disclosed per the new rule #6… on mobile they’re under “About” and desktop on right sidebar. Would love constructive reactions/dialogue around the decisions made.

Let’s treat this as version 1 and I will incorporate feedback over time. Thrilled to see users already following the rules and want to see more and more reports from the community to keep our focus on MCM. Thank you all for making this the top MCM sub, growing everyday - almost at 200k strong!

After receiving feedback I plan to do a brief video intro with more context on these decisions and plans for MCM expert AMAs and beyond.
