 I love bisque Architectural Pottery so I was pretty happy about this collection from an original owner. They are mostly by Malcolm Leland but there are a couple La Gardo Tackett large cones and one by Paul McCobb. I always found it a little strange that Paul McCobb designed for AP. All the other designers were based in Southern California. McCobb is the only east coast designer I can think of. Isamu Noguchi James Wayne glass vase, Thomas Ferreira, Kenji Fujita and Eames Kurt Versen Speaking of classic lamps, a friend gave me some awesome ephemera. Merit Specified! It includes some Pascoe drawings. I also picked up a couple photos from an LA based product photographer. Seen here is a Dan Johnson chair. There are a lot of goodies in this shot.

  Kipp Stewart, Arthur Umanoff, Kurt Versen, David Stewart, George Nelson and La Gardo Tackett These came from a designer who was doing prototype packaging for Frank Bros. The two smaller boxes have design games that were sold at Frank Bros.  The large box is still sealed! Scandi Stuff. Henning Koppel cookware, Stig Lindberg, Hans-Agne Jakobsson Jack Rogers Hopkins  Signed Isamu Noguchi poster from the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center Plaza I was in Mexico City the weekend before last and visited Casa Pedregal  again. The friend I was with had a discussion with person giving the tour about these Don Shoemaker chairs.   My first shopping stop back in the US, I found one.
