OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE OLD - VINTAGE FURNITURE SALE

When we opened our doors about a quarter of our inventory were vintage, mid-century modern and art deco period pieces. Our vintage furniture has been a huge draw and as you can imagine many of the pieces were picked up early! Architectural Digest picked up our pair of 1940's Poltrona Chairs - which we have since started reproducing here in New England due to popular demand. Elle Decor scooped up the Lupino Bar Cart which we are also reproducing in custom sizes and finishes. There are still a few items left over that have been marked down substantially as we are expecting a container of vintage furniture and accessories this Spring!

Milo Baughman - Mid 20th Century Modern Furniture Designer

“Good Modern Design has proven to be the most enduring, timeless and classic of all design movements.”

Milo Ray Baughman, Jr.,  (1923-2003)

Milo Baughman was a mid 20^th century modern furniture designer.  His forward-thinking designs were distinctive, yet affordable.  His work has been featured in the “High Styles” show at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York and he lectured broadly on the state of modern design at a variety of universities and art institutes including the Rhode Island School of Design.  Milo Baughman was inducted into the Furniture Designer's Hall of Fame in 1987.

Shown is a set of 4 Dining Room Chairs c.1978 by Milo Baughman in grey vinyl and eco chrome bases.  Price for the four chairs is $2,650.  These chairs are among the many vintage furnishings and accessories available at D SCALE. www.dscalemodern.com.

Table base is Vietanne by Spectrum.

 
I also found this guest house in Belmont, Massachusetts designed by Paul Rovinelli, AIA of H.P. Rovinelli Architects www.hprovinelli.com which is filled with living room and dining room furniture by Milo Baughman.

Among the most exciting pieces was her vintage Murano glass chandelier in her dining room which we have a similar one of here at D SCALE. D SCALE's vintage Murano chandelier (see image) is from the 70's and has one metal frame connecting 28 white hand-forged glass discs that form a 4-tiered pendant, retail $2,500.00.

Architectural Digest Features Poltrona Chairs

      

Poltrona Armchair
Originally uploaded by dscalemodern.com

D SCALE is featured in the September 2008 issue of Architectural Digest for its Vintage 1940’s Armchairs from the Italian firm Poltrona. The response to these chairs was overwhelming and D SCALE is now re-producing these vintage classics. Complementing the D SCALE collection of contemporary furnishings are vintage 20th century furnishings and accessories from South America and Europe.  These items were hand selected by Dennis Duffy and include vintage ‘70’s B&B Italia dining chairs and a parchment cabinet in the style of Andre’ Arbus, along with Murano table lamps and even some re-conditioned finds from the local flea markets.  In late August 2008, D SCALE will be receiving a new container of vintage items.
