Vintage Spotlight – Original Uten.Silo New In Box

Alyssa Zukas — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:31:35 +0000

Snagged this super cool original Uten.Silo at opening day of the LA Flea Market! I’d never seen one in person and this one was still in it’s original box with original mounting hardware. It wasn’t a very interesting box otherwise I would have taken a picture. Even the silver “Design M, Ingo Maurer” label, was still attached in the lower right corner. I’d never heard Ingo Maurer’s name associated with this before, only Vitra but apparently they were the original manufacturers.

It’s one of the most fun things do decorate with. I loaded it up with Walter Bosse and Auböck brass along with some Ikea paintbrushes, leftovers from the wedding and my Andy and Conan dolls.

Vintage Spotlight: My Vintage Walter Bosse / Hagenauer / Taxco Collection

Alyssa Zukas — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 08:50:45 +0000

I’ve been getting quite a bit of requests lately to put up pictures of my Vintage Austrian Brass and Walter Bosse collection. Ever since seeing the reproductions on DWR I fell in love with Bosse’s design! Rather than grab a repro I decided to do a little research and find out what Walter Bosse was really all about. Turns out, not only did he work in brass, but with pottery and ceramics as well.

And now… after A LOT of patience, learning a bit of German and 3 years of my life I’m pretty psyched with my collection! It’s been great and fun and an exciting journey. Always buy vintage I say!
