David, I'm in Oregon. In fact, that's where I bought this. In a thrift shop looking for (what else) Tiki stuff. I have been going with a wicker and bamboo look in this room, (a bedroom) and storing my collection on shelves. But I have been looking at some picture books like Tiki Modern and others, and liking how the primitive mixes with 50s and 60s modern in vintage pictures of the period. I thought that this may be a sort of poor man's Danish Modern type piece? That suits me, since do have a thrift store budget and actually enjoy the process of making finds. Anyway, I'm still finding out what constitutes Danish Modern and Eames etc. I am finding a few good websites for info and pictures of rooms groups from that era to inspire me. Do you think my piece is '50s? Stu thanks for the input. I figured this must have been rather cheap mass produced stuff since it's laminated or veneer or whatever. I have seen a headboard around here in the same finish that is unfortunately really beat up. Would be sweet though. [ Edited by: ManFromT.I.K.I. 2008-07-09 15:25 ] |
