All item listings will close December 9.
Newest items to go live include this set of Christopher Wool screenprinted skateboard decks by Supreme, a 1970s film festival poster for the Giornate del Cinema Italiano (Days of Italian Cinema, which was later renamed the Venice Biennale), a 1970s poster for Fredrico Fellini's La Citta delle Donne (City of Women) designed by Gemma Fioretini + Michela Papadia, an amazing 1960's wall sculpture/tapestry by an unknown artist, and a nice vintage copy of Rankin's RankinWorks.
Also shown are some items from Round 1 and 2: A solid walnut modernist clock by Seth Thomas, a pair of France & Son lounge chairs by Ole Gjerlov-Knudsen and Torben Lind, a rare Fritz Hansen model 4101 chair designed by Hans Wegner, a sculptural Finn Juhl FJ 51 lounge chair, a rare Poul Volther Spindle-Back chair, a Lightolier Glass Rod chandlier most likely designed by Gaetano Sciolari, a gilt coffee table by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings and a matching French styled modernist floor lamp, and an unusual table lamp with a parasol shade by the obscure Italian Studio Evoluzione.
The only lot left is a beautiful pair of leather and walnut Paul McCobb lounge chairs, which did actually arrive last week....unfortunately without their seat cushions. If the cushions are found in time, there will be a final listing on December 8th to run 24hrs. We'll see what happens.

Spaces: Selby Archives: Kanai Residence, New York
The Gramercy Park home of graphic designer Kiyoshi Kanai, with his daugher fashion editor Aya Kanai. Easily one of my favorite shoots by Todd Selby. With the help of Selby's signature photographic style, the home has a heartwarming atmosphere and an eloquent modesty, despite some rather incredible works of art and design on display, including a rare and sculptural Hans Wegner valet chair, and a Shiro Kuramata vase.
See the full shoot here.

Karmen Pedaru by Camilla Akrans

American 50's was the inspiration for this recent shoot by photographer Camilla Akrans for T Magazine. Styled by T Magazine’s women’s fashion director Anne Christensen, the throwback hair and 50's inspired prints by Prada, Marc Jacobs and Lanvin, transform model Karmen Pedaru into mid century perfection.

Spaces: Isay Weinfeld: Santo Amaro
"Isay Weinfeld is a Brazilian architect who runs a very diverse practice with projects ranging from built work to set design to art and furniture pieces. Clean lines and functionality dominate his work." (source NOTCOT)
Santa Amara is Isay Weinfeld's latest residential project. An incredible home comprised of voluminous cubic spaces reminiscent of fellow Brazilian Marcio Cogan.
A great collection of modernist furnishings compliment the interior, featuring a mix of fine Brazilian rosewood, with sofas and club chairs by Florence Knoll.
Via Isay Weinfeld.
