MY HOME - WEAVERS COTTAGE YORKSHIRE UK

SOMETHING NEW - ANGLEPOISE FLOOR LAMP
Well ok its not an original anglepoise lamp, but at £79.00 its a lot more economic than the Giant Anglepoise 1227 lamp @ a hefty
£1,600. Once again I cannot vouch for its quality as I haven't seen it in the flesh. From B&Q who I also have to admit are moving into the premier league I feel where its coming to making budget retro/modern styled lamps.

THINGS IN MY HOME - HANS WEGNER TEAK GE-107 KINGSIZE BED
Have sold many of his beds, but love love this one. Have only ever seen one of his beds designs in Rosewood, but one day I will have one!.
Hans Wegner teak and rattan GE-107 bed from the 70s, which are virtually impossible to find in the UK.
The bed is striking to look at with its floating bedside cabinets with black glass tops and book shelving units.
It has a beautifully woven rattan head board and curved vynil foot board, with teak borders all round. It looks as stylish today as the day it was designed.

THINGS IN MY HOME - EAMES HANG IT ALL
I guess I never realised how much I love the Eames's furniture and products, until I kindoff realised I have bought many of them and seem to keep them for myself. It felt an extravagant buy at the time, for a coat hanger, but I still love it and it has now followed me to two houses. It also works and as you can see I fully use it!.
Both Charles and Ray Eames (1907-1978 and 1912-1988) loved designing for children. As well as their furniture and architectural projects, they developed toys, games, puzzles and children's furniture like the jolly Hang-It-All.
Designed in 1953, the Hang-It-All was produced using the same welding technology with which the Eames had designed their famous Wire Chairs. The wire framework and brightly coloured wooden balls were intended to hang children's clothes, toys, and bags.
