Fantastic Modern Modular Sofa and Tables

Modern, Modern, Modern - NOW $850 (Frederick County)

This listing is for a fantastic and unique modular sofa and table set, consisting of two small sofas with built in side tables / magazine racks, one corner end table, and a coffee table that assemble into a large corner unit. The pieces are all finished in a blond colored wood, with orange/red vinyl seats and what looks like a black inlay on the coffee table. This set is very original, and very (late) mid century.

It is hard to assess the value of something like this, but I will say that if I had somewhere to put this, I would be picking it up rather than writing about it. This is a great opportunity to own a unique and beautiful set of furniture.

Danish Modern Coffee Table

Vintage Teak Coffee Table - $75 (Fairfax Circle)

This listing is for a Danish modern style teak coffee table. This is a common coffee table design from this period, with a long, low profile, tapered legs, and a "lower level" truss.

The picture and description of this item leave a lot of questions, but a quick email to the seller will surely get an answer. The price seems reasonable but that is completely dependent upon the quality of the piece and the condition, which are not readily visible.

Note that the seller is willing to take offers. Possibly a good find for those of you looking to add to your Danish modern decor.

Noguchi Style Table

Glass Coffee Table (black and glass) - $75 (Lorton, VA)

There is almost no information given with this listing, but this is clearly either a Noguchi inspired table (very likely) or the real thing (very unlikely). I don't know enough about the real thing to say that this is a reproduction outright, but I do believe that the seller would know if it were original, and there are a lot of imitations out there. Then again, you never know. 

The original "Noguchi table" was designed by sculptor Isamu Noguchi and was/is mass produced by Herman Miller. The Herman Miller version sells for over $1,000, more like $1,300. There are also a lot of reproductions out there, and prices vary. New knockoffs of this table seem to start at around $300 online, so in any case $75 is a good deal.

I also found this interesting article about how to tell a real Noguchi table from a fake, which may be of interest.

Unique mid century coffee table / magazine rack

Mid Century / Vintage Coffee Table - $75 (Falls Church)

Here is a very unique and very vintage coffee table with built in magazine storage in good condition. The seller says this is wrought iron with a laminate top (it does not look like wrought iron to me, but it is admittedly hard to tell from the picture). This is a neat style and certainly a very functional piece. Certainly not a high-end piece of furniture, but very nice for the right setting, and offered at a reasonable price. This would look great in a 50s-60s lounge.

Seller is also willing to entertain offers.

Beautiful, unique Asian modern couch and table

Asian modern sofa and coffee table from the 1960s - $175 (NW)

First of all, to be clear, the price is $175 for the sofa and $175 for the table, or $300 for both. Why anyone would buy one and not the other is beyond me. It is also sad to think that after 50 years this set my be split up. But in any case, this is a beautiful set. Very unique, very modern, very Asian. Mid century modern and Asian design have a lot in common (low horizontal lines, simple clean design) and these pieces offer a great example.

There is not much else to say, other than that I wish I had room for these, because I would be out picking them up rather than posting them here!!

Beautiful Scandinavian modern dining set!!

Three-piece Scandinavian dining set - $750 (Potomac Falls)

This is a beautiful three-piece, modern Scandinavian dining room set, which seemingly includes a buffet/credenza, a china cabinet combo, and a table and chairs, possibly, although the listing is unclear.  The china cabinet and credenza are both beautiful - very clean, very simple, very modern.  I am huge fan of floating top china cabinets, and this one looks fantastic, with a rich natural wood color on all the pieces.  Unfortunately, you can't see the table or chairs clearly in the picture... however, $750 is a good deal even if just the two pieces are included, so the table and chairs are really just a bonus.

If I had room for this, I would not be posting it here! Better contact the seller quickly if you are interested.
