Located in Culver City, CA
This mirror is simply stunning! Designed by Greg Palombo, woodworker and custom craftsman out of Hurricane, UT this large modern mirror breaths a breath of fresh sunshine into any environment.

Perfect as a full body mirror, this piece can be used as a floor mirror or can be mounted / cleated to the wall. This mirror is the ultimate selfie mirror and would be prefect used as an accent piece in a maximalist home, or a home that needs a splash of color. This piece would also be incredible used in a retail environment as a display piece. This piece could be used in so many environments, and would easily flex into any Mid-Century Modern, modern or contemporary home.

21st Century Sketch Chest of Drawers Marble, Wood Made in Portugal by Malabar
Located in RIO TINTO, PT
Memphis, the Italian design collective whose debut collection caused a sensation at Milan’s 1981 Salone del Mobile, was a riotous rejection of sensible modernism. Inspired by the very known art movements back in time, Art Deco and Pop Art Style, Memphis' Group was born. Known for its bright and bold furniture design style, Memphis keeps inspired artists and becomes a trend in interiors and furniture. Tributing Ettore Sottsass, the rule-breaking Malabar creatives designed this versatile piece of art. If it makes you wonder if it's a shelving unit, a room divider, or art, well, that's the point. With a rich palette and mix of Verde Guatemala and Rosso Levanto marbles, polished and brushed brass, and walnut, black stained ash wood, and Tanganyika wood leaves, this handcrafted chest of drawers...

Ettore Sottsass Tappeto Volante Flying Carpet Chair Bedding Brevetti Italy 1972
By Ettore Sottsass
Located in Keego Harbor, MI
A postmodern lounge chair “Tappeto Volante (Flying Carpet)” designed by Ettore Sottsass for Bedding Brevetti, Italy 1972. Original label adhered to side. Beechwood and stain, stretch-jersey fabric, velvet, and carpeting. A standout example of Sottsass’s exploration of domestic form, the piece blends furniture and rug into a single surrealist gesture. Composed of soft upholstered elements– including a red carpet-like base, multicolored cushions, and asymmetrical armrests– it invites relaxation through both function and whimsy. “Tappeto Volante” reflects Sottsass’s growing interest in emotional design, blurring boundaries between utility, symbolism, and play. It has been featured in design retrospectives at the Triennale di Milano and Centre Pompidou and appears in publications documenting radical Italian design of the 1970s. “Tappeto Volante” is also in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and Vitra Design Museum. A unique opportunity to own a museum quality furniture...
