eBay watch: Pair of 1970s Milo Baughman lounge chairs

Posted on | Leave a comment

Baugh

Design details are scarce, but the picture should tell you everything about this pair of Milo Baughman lounge chairs, which are available on eBay right now.

No date is attributed, but judging by the look, we would say 1970s, possibly sneaking into the late 60s, but generally that era. It's a very stylish design, with that chromed frame supporting what looks like a very comfortable seat and back, with just minimal arm rests. It's a 'red-orange striped fabric' and the seat cushions are loose.

According to the seller, the chairs are 'in good condition' with 'normal scratches, marks and light scuffs' due to age, but are 'firm and sturdy'. For the two, the price right now is $9.99 (£6.23).

Munch

Hot on the heels of the Nike Elite Vintage trainers comes another Size? exclusive reissue, the Adidas Munchen trainers, which are already flying off the (virtual) shelves.

This time the 1976 indoor training shoe is reissued with a red suede and nylon mesh upper, with white leather stripes, white mid sole and white laces. If you love red and white, it's perfect. Of not, then…maybe not.

But if you do love them, £60 is the asking price.

Normal_DSC_0102 
The Letteroom specialises in personalised gifts, which isn’t that unusual, but their Crayola Letter Art is something a bit different.

Housed in a white wooden box frame, it consists of a capital letter made entirely from Crayola crayons of different lengths and colours. You get to pick the letter obviously, but you can also chose between multi-coloured crayons, shades of pinks or shades of blue.  It would make a good  gift for a child or an adult nostalgic for childhood.

Buy it directly from The Letteroom for £37.50
