Anyone into classic furniture

[bikeworkshop]

Counterbalance at the back, magnifying lens up top? Very nice

Something to do with 1940s draughtsmen, iirc - car boot find in shocking condition, covered in a stained wrinkly yellow paint finish that needed removing

"Hadrill Horstmann magnifying Pluslite"

Did anyone else used to buy ‘the modernist?



Reason I ask.. I think they’re all digital downloads nowadays but they also made the back issues available and iirc.. the very first publication was about the vintage cycling aesthetic focusing on old velodromes and abandoned Olympic sites.. they only printed a few copies so quite a rare thing in print but I think the download is only £3.. I can’t vouch for the quality but .. meh! It’s only £3

Also, I'm sure he's noticed but I'll tag @pete_mcc - his house is very much on the way to museum!

Museum, junk shop, hoarders paradise…it’s all the same, right?

I have a lot of Fyne Lady Aformosia furniture designed by Richard Hornby, Eames this and that, Panton peacock chair that the cats sleep in and so much mid century glass (many Whitefriars, I have a stupidly large collection) and, fortunately, I live in a house old enough to have proper lights rather than led spots and I have a lot of bizarre 60s/70s lights. I’ll take some photos..
