I will sit in this hairy chair and f*cking bathe in that creepy awesomeness.

Thrifty!
Monday, November 16th, 2009Welcome home little knock-off, you are replacing the huge yellow lamp for a more understated lighting statement.
I love me some Poul Henningsen, and this little light is a lovely 1970’s knock-off piece of Danish engineering. This baby is super solid and heavy, and after going to the disappointing DWR warehouse blow out sale in Palm Springs and picking up all the chintzy, poorly made and overpriced lights, this little fresh white cloud of awesome made me remember why I love vintage so much. Quality.
I found it at this place called JP Denmark in Cathedral City. If your a frequenter of the Rose Bowl Flea Market you may recognize the husband and wife team with the plethora of amazing Danish items. Well, they have a warehouse. An AMAZING warehouse that I must have passed a million times (no website, no phone listing, in a weird little industrial strip mall – it’s like a design mirage) filled with vintage Danish pieces they import directly.
Pricing can be pretty good, but obviously your not going to get a total steal. Of course they had some really nice vintage PH lights that were out of my price range and all the dressers and credenzas? OMG. Bananas. Teak heaven.
JP Denmark is located near the Perez Design District in Cathedral City. Ask the guys over at Hedge and they can point you in the right direction.
