teddy blows his wad: theodore waddell "week" cums to a close....

Dining Table
1956
Ok,
I promise no more 
for 
a while,
but cum on,
you have to admit he's amazing right?

"Tensegrity Table"
Cassina
1973
A classic.
Yes, I just said that.
I also just punched myself in the groin.

The low and high versions.
Some might say a coffee table version
and a dining table version.
Some might say model number 713
and model number 714.
Someone else might need to 
punch me in the groin again....

"Table 2000-2"
2000
This is a picture of the 1/4 scale prototype.
Theodore,
let's make this puppy!

"Table 2000-2"

Pretty sweet....


"Revolving Bookcases"
(Original Plexiglas Version)
1969
"SUITABLE FOR DEAD SPACES"

"Revolving Bookcase"
(Free-standing Version with Base)
1984
I want one of these for
my dead space....
"CEILING"
'FLOOR"

Cover for 
The Architectural Forum
1969
Detail from

"Portable Radio with Exposed Circuitry"
1971
Yes please.

"Safecrackers TM"
1986
Told you.

"Vertebra Roll-up Lamp"
1984
Goes with the chair.
Sweet.

"Participation Jewellery"
1975

Last but not least,
some jewelry design.
You start with the above 
24-carat and diamond stick pins
and turn them into your own design.
Theodore did these:
Pretty fuckin' cool.
It won 3rd Prize in DeBeers
"Diamante Oggi" competition
in 1975.
