TAKE NOTE

I like a good Eames inspired musical coat rack but it is hard to find vintage originals there are so many repro versions around. I picked up two great examples recently within minutes of each other, the black version with coloured balls is a fine example of original 1950s design - and in great condition. The white version was designed for the Freemans catalogue in 1957 and was described as "Home Sweet Home' bent wire musical coat rack with treble cleff and moving notes that swivel out to right angle. Sweet. Both are available tomorrow at the Newmarket Brocante in Dublin.
