wow is all i can say. pull up to an unassuming warehouse just east of santa fe in the heart of downtown's hidden treasures. last year i attended the infamous banksy opening just down the road. walk past a security guard who watches your every move. up two sets of concrete stairs. and. voila. mid-century modern heaven. no paradise. every eames, case-study, nelson, noguchi and more obscure designs line the brilliant orange metal shelving. a beaming 'michael' welcomes you and promptly engages his assistant to give you the tour. a room devoted to fabulous period typewriters, clocks, dinnerware, radios, flowered vinyl suitcases flanks the main space. fifty or so nelson bubble lamps in every shape and size hang suspended from the ceiling. tandem eames fiberglass seating in any color. my favorite? elephant. a fabulous shade of 'elephant' grey.
take a look here.
