I spent the afternoon with Kelly at the L.A. Mart gift show. I thought you might enjoy seeing a couple of my favorite vendors.
irons & duck is one of my newest finds. I know that the industrial look is very popular right now, but most of the pieces feel fake and forced. irons & duck feels authentic.
The irons & duck stall was filled with their furniture built from real factory pieces.
These benches were a couple of my favorite pieces.
The irons & duck stall was decorated with everyday items like the clip boards displayed on this wall.
Another favorite piece: this clothes rack that I want to use in my next laundry room.
They had several wonderful crusty table lamps on display.
The simplicity of their displays brought everyday objects into the realm of art.
I could imagine the person who worked in these boots for a life time.
This picture captures the sculptural feel of these stacked metal baskets.
The patina of these weights are impossible to recreate in a reproduction.
The creators of irons & ducks understands how people connect with the finish of a piece that shows the age that occurs when it has been used for decades.
I'd love to hear what you think. Do you see the beauty in real industrial furniture?
