I live right down the street from Wright and I love biking by their gallery late at night to see the beautiful pieces on display, properly illuminated in the window. It's like a kid in front of a candy store. A very, very, expensive candy store.
Oh, gosh, the Elizabeth chair is gorgeous. Please, God, let me win the lotto...
oh my goodness!!! thank you so much for this post!!! i actually picked up an Elizabeth chair off the street in Madison, WI, a few years ago. it was out with the trash - the leather was shot, but the rest of the chair was in great shape and I've been searching Danish furniture books trying to figure out where it was from. unbelievable!
Wastepaper baskets, eh? I mean, I like them, but jebus....
(... were they really all brown?)
