uploading Atlas Globe Samovar Table Lamp
England
19th Century

An impressive table lamp conversion of a 19th century brass & copper samovar urn in the Regency style with delicately cast figure of Atlas holding the globe. Supported on square solid brass platform with four brass ball feet.

Note: I have nearly the identical Atlas samover in a separate listing (1stdibs ref: U1012098866593) which, by request, we can convert to a lamp using substantially matching components as this lamp. Both samovars can be polished to match.

uploading Spinnaker Lounge Chair & Ottoman
Norway
Contemporary

The Spinnaker chair is a modern and luxurious chair created in collaboration with Hødnebø, Norwegian furniture manufacturing company and Norwegian designers Linda Steen and Lena Axelsson. The spring-loaded chair allows you to settle into the most comfortable angle possible. With its sail-like shape, the Spinnaker chair simulates the feeling of floating on a cloud and conveniently supports the arch of your reclined back, with three levels of lockable tilt possible. And you can customize it to fit your decor by choosing colors for the leather cushions and canvas backing — we will even use your old sails for added saltiness. You can also include your initials or a design, such as a compass symbol "and the sail number on your favorite sailing yacht.”

Hødnebø has been creating furniture since 1904, including the new Spinnaker chair. The Spinnaker chair is a unique and modern chair that can fit into any style of home décor. Designed with its luxurious fabric, and specific sail design.
