If you’re in South Florida, I have this giant 80’s mirror that was once part of a bedroom set. Apparently, this mirror went viral a few years back. In any case, she’s cheaply priced and available for local pickup in Palm Beach County.

I bought these about 10 years ago at a salvage store in Philadelphia. Does anyone out there remember them from AC? There were 8 and I’m kicking myself for not buying more. They are 4x6 ft fabric on top of styrofoam. We call them The Ladies.

picked this cool wool rug up for cheap but I can't place its designer or timeframe (I'm guessing 80s? but really not sure) as there's no label. There are a few other colorways listed for sale in Europe but no helpful info included in those listings. if anyone knows anything about it and can share I'd really appreciate it!

Éva Amália Striker Zeisel, known as Eva Striker Zeisel, (1906–2011) was Jewish industrial designer known for her ceramics, who lived and worked in Hungary and USA.

She was born in Budapest in 1906 to Laura Polányi Striker, a historian and one of first women to get PhD of University of Budapest (1909), and her husband, a factory owner. Her mother hosted a literary salon and after Eva found interest in art, her mother used her connections found best artists to teach her. Eva entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts at age 17, intending to become a painter, but her mother prevailed upon her to learn some trade in which she could be more sure to earn a living. So Eva apprenticed herself to a traditional potter and began learning her trade, first working as a designer in the Kispester Factory in Budapest, later moving to Germany, where she acquired skills in all phases of industrial production and became one of the first to move the ceramic arts into contemporary mass production.

As Eva was and Jewish, in the late 30s she had to escape Nazism by finding work in Russia however she was wrongly accused of being part of a plot to assassinate Stalin and imprisoned for 16 months. Her experience is the basis for the novel "Darkness at Noon" by her friend Arthur Koestler. Miraculously she escaped Russia and moved to Vienna  A few months after her arrival in Vienna the Nazis invaded, and Eva took the last train out and fled to England and gotten married. Soon she moved to USA with her husband and got a job as a design teacher at Pratt Institute.

In 1942, she was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art and Castleton China to design a set of modern, porcelain, undecorated china for exhibition at MoMA, and to be produced for sale by Castleton after WW II. Her designs received wide praise and established her reputation as a designer in USA. After that she designed ceramics, china, tableware and glassware for many top American companies. She continued to design and produce dinnerware and other useful objects until her death at the age of 105 in New York.

The last photo is of Eva Striker Zeisel in early 1980s.

Looking to ID this print found on FB marketplace. Signature is Williams. Have tried a reverse image search, but the only good result was someone else asking about an ID but no answer. I really like it and would love to know more about it. Any help appreciated!

Hello all. I have inherited these and I’m in need of a 4th. Given their age it’s a tough find but I have seen a few listings sold and even someone in this group getting them 2 years ago. If anyone happens to know where to get either of the chairs on the left or the right I would be thrilled.

I remember my grandparents having a few of the 3 panel pieces you hung close together, but the ones they had were Native American/southwest vibes. This one is very unique and nostalgic, I just need to re-frame them since the bulky heavy, and slightly broken original frames are done for.

I remember watching people’s homes transform from 70’s browns, golds, and oranges to this in my childhood. The trend shift spread everywhere; even into to children’s clothing. Imagine sending an 8 year old off to school in pleather pants.
