Mid Century Study ミッドセンチュリーの書斎, G Plan, Limestone House
1945 Snelling chair made in St Peters in Sydney out of teak and parachute straps after the war. An Australian mid century chair in original unrestored condition. Beige coloured parachute straps are woven in a chequered pattern and riveted to a teak frame. One of these iconic chairs is on display at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. This Snelling chair is still useable 70 years after manufacture.
This is my mid century modern study. I just bought the American walnut cantilevered desk. The desk was made by Hooker in the 1960s and is part of the Mainline series of desks. They are rare in Australia. 1960年代の方持ち机を仕入れました。机は「Hooker」と言うメーカの「Mainlineシリーズの家具です」。オーストラリアではこの机は極レアです。
先月旅行で日本に行って、10個のミッドセンチュリーモダン風の中古生花花器を購入した。その後船便でオーストラリアに送った。やっと花器達はオーストラリアにたどり着いた!全て無事に割れず届いた。早速僕のミッドセンチュリー棚に飾った。生花全く分からない僕は現在生花花器10個を所有しています。どうやって使うでしょうか? 形好きだけでついついいっぱい買ってしまった。I went to Japan last month and bought 10 mid century modern brutalist ikebana vases. I sent them to my house in Australia by surface mail and they just arrived. I put all the ikebana vases in display in my teak bookshelf and now have no idea what to do with them. I don't understand anything about ikebana. I just bought them because I liked they way the vases look. Oops.
My Jet Age eyeball lamps surround my 1950s Brandon series G Plan sideboard. I collect Hof plant pots, vintage Shimano groupsets and steel lamps. This part of the collection is just the tip of the iceberg. Steel is real. What's old is new again. Western Australian Mid Century style in Mosman Park. 色々なビンテージ物のコレクションがある。ホフ植物ポット、ビンテージ自転車のシマノグループセットと鉄製ランプを集めている。
1970年代イギリスで作られたBSA製Javelin自転車です。最近修理し直してピカピカになりました。 Recently restored 1970s racer made by Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) which is a British manufacturer which originally made guns and motorbikes. A second life for a 40 year old vintage pushbike.
I went to Japan and bought more vintage mid century modern ikebana vases. All vases are now back in Australia in my study but I don't even own one spiky frog (ikebana kenzan). 再び日本に行ってビンテージ花器をいっぱい買って来ました。全ての花器は無事にオーストラリアに着きました。生け花の剣山一個も所有していない。。。
I have a collection of 1960s and 1970s Planet anglepoise and Jetage eyeball lamps. All lamps are operational and working.
I just had my blondewood chair restored. I'm still researching the chair's provenance. I also found an iconic TH Brown fondue table in the wild. G Plan can be used to display vintage groupsets too.
This is my Hooker Mainline cantilevered desk. It’s made of walnut in the 1960s in the USA. These American antique desks would be rare in Australia. I wonder how it arrived in Australia from the USA? これは僕の1960年代アメリカでクルミ材で作られた片持ち支持の机です。この机ははるばるアメリカからオーストラリアまで来ました。近代の家具にないような独特なデザインだと思います。
I restored this 1960s concrete and wrought iron sputnick planter and planted a 7 headed South african fan aloe. 1960年代コンクリート•鉄の植物入れをリストアしました。南アフリカのファンアロエを植えました。
