Sputnik Modern and George Nelson

I have a thing for Mr. Nelson. I know, I know. His bubble lamp and marshmallow sofa are a bit overdone. (Overheard from a homeowner at a photo shoot today: “Design Within Reach is quickly becoming as ubiquitous as Pottery Barn.”) But the man knew his design and I love his work. If you do too and you have $1,200 to blow, click over to Sputnik Modern. Owner Chris Thurman — a man who knows his mid-century modern — has some Nelson seating for sale. The bench featured on the site is powder-coated sexy with a graphic print. But move fast. Chris’ stuff doesn’t last long.
