The Boy and I headed out to San Diego on Sunday to check out Mod Swap (which he called “Mop Swap” during the entire hour and a half ride there). I’ve been rocking a super nasty cold and have since decided it was a terrible idea to venture out even though *at the time* I convinced myself I’d be fine. Now it’s a million times worse. Stupid failing body.
I know a certain someone got this round Eames Aluminum Group coffee table I had my eye on for a little bit, and a certain someone else (with those fancy leather boots) took home a nice black Bertoia diamond chair.
I loved this brass multi-tiered thing and from a distance thought it was a chandelier and couldn’t be more delighted. Unfortunately it was just a stand (plant maybe?) so the event turned out to be a bit of a bust for me. I did bring home two Eames bases for $20 for a couple of side shell chairs I’ve been working on. I still need to test them and fix them up a bit to see if they will fly for the kitchen bar area.
These were the standout Kings of Chairs at the event. The one with the ottoman was about $700 (so therefore unattainable) and the other was sold. Poop.

Does anyone know of anything like this around the NYC area? * so jealous *
In Philadelphia there are quite a few flea markets, but not nearly as many mid century finds as the mod swap. Makes me wish I lived on the West coast.
wow…i feel like i’m your stalker – first the salvation army in hemet and now mod swap ha! scored 2 Eames swivel bases for $25 and a piece of Paul McCobb dishware for $2
That sling chair on the right is/was made by Jan Barboglio…probably sold at Neiman Marcus.
