Mid-Century Ashtrays

Smoking was hip. Smoking was part of your look. Not so much now. Mid-century ashtrays are still fun to have around to hold your car keys or jellybeans….but don't tell that to Don Draper.

A Reader Request! Can anyone identify these chairs?

I came into 2 of these chairs. They are very beat up, and someone tried to repaint them it looks like. However, they’re molded fiberglass and old. I’m assuming they are an Eames inspired no name chair, but I could be wrong. They look like they’re an amalgamation of so many different manufacturers - Burke, Chromcraft, Sturgis, Krueger, Saarinen, and Eames. I can’t see a stamp from the photos. Anyone recognize them?

Jazz Icons | Jimmy Smith live in '69

Jimmy Smith boasts an incredible 90-minute concert from 1969 filmed in Paris. Working in his classic trio format (with longtime guitarist Eddie McFadden and drummer Charlie Crosby), Jimmy shows why he is still the uncontested king of the jazz organ. Highlights include blues jams 'Got My Mojo Working' and 'Sonnymoon For Two,' the classic ballads 'Alfie' and 'Satin Doll,' as well as a blinding 23-minute version of his showcase number 'The Sermon.' - Via

901: After 45 Years of Working

A powerful record of the Eameses' famed design space at 901 Washington Blvd. in Venice, CA. It was here that the groundbreaking design team developed furniture, made films, created architecture, produced exhibitions and much more - work that continues to shape our world and the way we see it. The film also chronicles the process of closing the workshop of 45 years.

As the musical tower developed by Charles and Ray plays its cascade of music, the camera roams, using the office itself as a prism through which viewers can observe their lives and their work. The film offers viewers a last chance to visit the shop and celebrate its joyous texture and aesthetic. 901 is a wonderful complement to the Eames films and a whirlwind introduction to the Eames legacy. Film by Eames Demetrios.
