I'm wrting this from my 1930s desk:

- Dutch bent steel tube linoleum topped  table
- Dutch bent steel tube desk chair by Gispen
- German Bauhaus desk lamp by Kaiser Idell

When I look to my left it's all '50s and '60s though - Eames aluminum group round table with teak Jacobsen 7-series chairs... want me to continue?

I don't have a "fedora lounge" though, there is actually some Ikea in the mix as well as a 17th century style cabinet, a "retro" from the 19th century.

OK I won't sum up all of our possessions - but it's like this: my aesthetic sensibility doesn't stop with clothes.

I guess the collecting of vintage stuff was born out of neccessity - when I was less well off as a student, I got most of my stuff second hand. But it was never just because I couldn't afford new furniture, even back then I was amazed at how all this stuff that could be had for cheap was far better looking than most of the new furniture on offer. I'm a bit better off now, but my outlook hasn't changed a bit.

Take these Jacobsen chairs I mentioned - I found two of them on the street and bought two additional ones for less than one reproduction with the horribly shiny chrome would have cost me.  You can tell they are mid-century-modern designs, but they still work in most environments today. They don't shout "I live in the past" -  they're a bit like a good vintage 3 button sack jacket I suppose.

^ If you could be a bit more specific about these "possibilities", we might be able to tell you if they're viable online sir
