more from the edge....

Otto Wagner

1902

I went back through 

"Sitting on the Edge"

and picked my favorite

pieces,

well,

I tried to narrow it down to 10,

then 15, then

20....

Ended up with 22.

Here they are in chronological order....

Adolf Loos

1905

This looks like a little puppy to me.

Marcel Breuer

1922

I wish I had been sitting in this in 1922.

Image who you would have been

or what you would have been doing.

I do know what you would be doing now though...

You would be dead.

Gerrit Rietveld

1923

These should be our new dining chairs.

Joseph Hoffmanm

1928

I saw this in an old movie the other night!

Rene Herbst

1930

Zebra always gets me. Everytime....

Warren McArthur

1933

I know he's not

"in fashion"

right now, but I luv me some Warren Mac.

KEM Weber

1934

These are great.

You may be seeing more on the market soon

if the rumor I heard recently comes to pass....

Isamu Noguchi

1937

Amazing

Hans Coray

1938

This is the only example I have ever seen in red.

I have two in green, which is nice,

but the red is better.

Morgens Lassen

1942

These always reminded me of the 

manta rays I used to see

growing up when we would go fishing.

I've never found one...

yet!

Rudolph Schindler

1948

So impractical and over-designed...

but 

beautiful and amazing.

Le Corbusier

1950

I seem to really like things with holes,

what does that say about me Carl?

Jean Prouvé

1950

Yes please

Max Bill

1950

Never seen one of these in the flesh.

Franco Albini

1952

I love the shape of the arms on this, 

and how the back pivots.

I love everything Franco does.

I mead did.

He's dead.

Too bad.

Edelhardt Harlis

1955

Who?

Gio Ponti

1955

Funny,

I was talking to Michael and asked him 

if he had discovered that

Gio Ponti designed these, before or after he sold them.

He frowned and said after.

Dan Johnson

1958

These are SO fragile

when in all wood.

The bronze ones are nice too 

and much more useful.

That being said I would rather have a wood one.

Gerrit Rietveld

1963

The date of this always surprises me.

Gerrit would have been 76

when he desinged this.

he died the next year.

RIP

Gerrit.

Donald Judd

1984

Look Matt,

it's another one of those trash can chairs.

Weird.

 Donald Judd

1985

I always wondered why Michael sold this.

I will have to ask.

More

here.
