god its been ages since i've written anything, uni is taking its toll on me, being bombarded with theory and having to go on prac.
now that i am back living in my native brisbane again, there's a few fantastic little shops that have opened in my absence that i am only now beginning to discover.
woolloongabba appears to be fast becoming the new home of antiques and collectables in brisbane, and i stumbled upon a great little antique shop there that has my name written all over it!
in fact, check out the whole little cul-de-sac, (opposite the gabba) as there are heaps of other amazing little places there too.
Retro Moderne has an UNBELIEVABLE collection of 20th century design icons, including a set of 6 Eames "LCW" chairs (i wish i had $6000, just so i could buy ONE!). their whole back wall is lined with so many ridiculously amazing chairs i can't help but get a design chubby.
After nearly 6 months of trying, I finally managed to get a hold of 3 retro timber Parker-style chairs on ebay. These ones are an Australian-made version c1950's dubbed the "boomerang chair" because of the single boomerang-shaped piece that makes up the base and back.
