The heads behind the desks at art galleries in Chelsea
July 17, 2009 @ 8:32 pm
Andy Freeberg has a funny series of photos called “Sentry” which show the people behind art gallery desks in Chelsea galleries here in New York City. I’ve been to plenty of galleries in Chelsea and I can testify that many of these galleries are exactly as Andy has depicted them — nothing but tops of heads from behind big white desks. It’s funny and also a bit sad that human interaction is so limited at art galleries.

This is the Moonbird Lamp designed by Yukio Hashimoto for Japanese lighting manufacturer Yamagiwa. It’s such a beautiful and simple unit. Check out more pictures at Contemporist.
Rare P.-D.G. desk by Maurice Calka up for auction
April 22, 2009 @ 8:29 pm
The desk above is called the P.-D.G. desk by French designer Maurice Calka. The desk was targeted to the richest of clients and people in senior management. In fact, the name itself was an acronym for “Président Directeur Générale”, which pointed directly at someone in higher positions within a company.
In his lifetime, Maurice Calka was known to only have made about 4 or 5 of these desks but Sotheby’s currently has one previously unknown desk up for auction for over 100,000 USD. Bid on it if you want to own a small niche item in furniture design history. [via]
