My virtual shopping spree turned up these beauties: A Rare, Signed Fornasetti Screen, 1953, a Pair of 1960's Jo Hammerborg Tulip Pendants, a "Traccia" Silver leaf Bird Leg Table by Meret Oppenheim, a "Tre pezzi PL19" Armchair by Franco Albini and Franca Helg, 1957, an for a dash of color, an Italian 40's Ceramic Horse Head.
I was just reading an article in the New York Times about the recent expansion of Eccola, an LA store specializing in Italian Mid-century furniture. For the complete story, click on over to the NY Times article HERE.
Eccola carries pieces by such notables as Gio Ponti (!), Franco Albini, and Osvaldo Borsani. I am besotted with the Italian Modernists, so I hopped over to take a look at Eccola's lovely inventory HERE. As you can see, my virtual shopping spree was most productive.
If nothing else, check out the intro on Eccola's website. It'll rev up your day.

I like the colors of the paintings in the first photo. I am painting through synesthesia which makes me see colors when I hear names and numbers. These colors I transform in paintings. Colors are my life.
Not only does Eccola have a great inventory--the owners are great and super welcoming.
How much I love Italian design shows on my blog and in Italy and Milan specially I always visit places like this. I am so happy that Kathleen and Maurizio brought those gorgeous pieces to the West Coast. In their website they say "Eccola" means "Here it is" while instead it should translate in "Here she is" so no matter what...beautiful objects are here!
i think this is italia design and good.
