Weinberg Modern / Books

 Back to my trip to New York. It was a short one, so I was only able to go to two shops.  Being a longtime fan of Weinberg Modern, I'm so glad I was able to visit the showroom in Tribeca. Larry has been in the business since the early 1990's, He's been dedicated to an academic approach that involves the rediscovery of some of the more obscure designers from the late late 1940s and 1950s.

In addition to many rare examples by designers such as Henry P Glass, Bill Lam and Greta Grossman, the collection of books and catalogs is just incredible.

Speaking of Bill Lam, I've never seen another one of these. 

This is truly a unicorn. A lamp by Jo Mead Designs.

Here is another look at the Henry P Glass lounge, a prototype.

Eames designs always holds their own.

In addition to the books Larry has for sale, there is his private stash. I didn't get to dive into those MoMA boxes but he did share some extremely hard to find books like...
