Sharon and Nicola Long lounging on a Kontor Armchair designed by their father Brian Long (1970) #SpaceAgeDesign

A rare version of the chair with gradient patterned upholstery in sunset shades, with pops of blue and purple, on the white plastic shell base. The kids are wearing full body leotards that match the upholstery.

Le Monde Pendant Lamp by Carl Thore (Sigurd Lindkvist) for Granhaga Metallindustri, Sweden (1973) #spaceagedesign

Green spherical pendant light composed of stacked, curved metal bands that create a layered effect. Light filters through the gaps between the bands, while the inner cylindrical diffuser softens the glow, providing ambient illumination with minimal glare.
Lindkvist worked at Granhaga beginning in 1961 as designer and sales head, spontaneously adopting the Carl Thore name during a client presentation.

Una piccola pietra miliare del design italiano degli anni '70.
La lampada Toucan di Enea Ferrari è stata una delle prime lampade giocose mai concepite per i bambini: un oggetto scultoreo ricco di colore, ironia e presenza. #spaceagedesign #vintagelighting #italiandesign #midcenturymodern #tucanolamp
