Arne Jacobsen for your office
Spring is officially here in Scandinavia, a good time to enjoy something new (or old). Warm colors, international design and clean lines are all trademarks of Danish designer and architect Arne Jacobsen. If you are in the process or remodeling or thinking about it here are some personal favorites of mine available to buy from Hivemodern.com. Enjoy!

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

Gotta love Scandinavian style. Around here in Bakersfield, it's actually possible to find vintage things in thrift stores and because no one values them, we buy for cheap! Their loss. Of course, our champagne tastes on a beer budget means that Ikea is more our speed for Scandinavian knock offs.

Love those chairs ;)
I hope you're working on volume 4 of your Space-Age Lounge compilations, I've listened to the first three about a hundred times.....Incredible collections, perfectly compiled!
Thanks

Bakersfield sounds like a great place. I would have thought it was the other way around, Scandinavian vintage design is really expensive in California? Would love some egg chairs my self hehe.
thxjay: I am working on a few new compilations, three to be exact. The first one is almost done, just need to mix the songs. Expect a release within a week or two. Oh yeah, it's not Space Age 4, but that is also in the pipe *caugh caugh* ;-)

Your compilations are very nice too thxjay! I definitely need to download more of them. Love the covers too, consistent, realistic and elegant looking. Keep it up!

Mid-century modern anything in Bakersfield is pretty much considered trash so when people have older relatives that die, they donate the "trash" to thrift stores so claim a charitable donation. If this "trash" were in LA or San Fran it would be sky high in its price. Bakersfield is kind of a place where people's taste is entirely in their mouths. They tend to go after antiques much older to prove that they know something about antiques. One of the antique stores is now co-owned by a dapper European guy and his wife and he has clued in that my wife and I are into MCM, but he also gets that we are not a bottomless money pit either.
