I'd no money at all so everything was salvage or freebies that got cut up and industrialised. The HiFi was on Dexion shelving and the chairs came out a Dentists waiting room...the coffee table was a Bass Cabinet with 2 12" bins in it and a sheet of glass over the top. My telly (rented) sat on an old Marshall combo. I couldn't afford a bed so I slept on a futon which sat on 4 old pallets.<br />It looked great.

And tucked into the bookcase like that? Strictly a rig for Mantovani and the Longines Symphonette. <br /><br />Also - I only spot one ottoman for the two chairs. Was the idea that you'd play footsie with someone while you played records and sipped your harvey wallbangers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-21389188061848166582010-01-14T13:41:28.771-08:002010-01-14T13:41:28.771-08:00I, too, adore 70s decor books and I love, love, lo...I, too, adore 70s decor books and I love, love, love my copy of Hi-Tech! <br /><br />It is a brilliant combination of the most excellent and the most zany.

Once that's gone, it's classic.<br /><br />My dream piece from the 70s? Other than the Eames chair & ottoman, is a stylin' rotary phone. Man, I'd love to have one of those, the desktop model, with a shoulder cradle on the receiver so you can use it hands-free the old way.<br /><br />In addition to orange, let's not forget another regrettable color from the 70s: avocado! My parents' kitchen was painted in avocado, and the flooring was off white with avocado and gold. They finally remodeled about 20 years ago, and the hardwood floors and oak cabinets look sooooo much better.Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-70094081066448003812010-01-14T10:19:32.041-08:002010-01-14T10:19:32.041-08:00good design is good design, no matter when it was ...good design is good design, no matter when it was done.davidslnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-74326853056507691292010-01-14T09:12:44.260-08:002010-01-14T09:12:44.260-08:00For every era there's always some people that ...For every era there's always some people that get it right. At least according to our individual ideals and not just fashion trends.<br /><br />When I was a teenager my friend and I house-sat for his mom's boss. Their house resembled the record listening room. They actually did have two eames chairs, along with the whole le corbusier living room set and the noguchi table. And of course ample amounts of shag carpeting and custom paintings. I think I actually slept in the eames chair it was so comfortable. Definitely the coolest house I've ever been to.<br /><br />I'm glad you shared this stuff, it's some great inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-77974606968635338112010-01-14T07:10:33.021-08:002010-01-14T07:10:33.021-08:00My parents have those Steelcase chairs.
