Lane Rhythm 4 pc. Bedroom Set

This walnut and pecan bedroom set by Lane was just completely refinished and is now ready for action!
The dresser has ample storage with 6 good sized drawers. The top two drawers still have their original removable dividers. Behind the center doors are 2 fixed shelves with open storage. It can be difficult to find sets with a pair of matching nightstands. The pair of nightstands in this set each have one single drawer and are perched on long slender legs. The set also includes a mirror that can be mounted to the back of the dresser or a wall. As is typical with Lane mid century pieces, all the drawers are dovetailed and use metal guides with roller bearings for smooth operation and durability. The veneers are all beautifully figured and the drawer fronts on the dresser are bookmatched. The casework is all sturdy and is built to last another 50 years.
This is a great looking and functional set with classic modern aesthetics.

Dimensions:

Dresser 64"W x 18"D x 31" H

Nightstands (x2) 22"W x 17"D x 22"W

Mirror 26" x 38"

Sirocco Chair by Arne Norell

Swedish designer Arne Norell allegedly based his 1961 design for the Sirocco chair on the Roorkee safari chair designed in the 1890's for British military officers during their military campaigns.  This is one of many ties of modernist furniture to "campaign" furniture.  While the Roorkee chair takes on a look that resembles a deconstructable king's throne, the Sirocco chair looks more like something Breuer or Mies Van Der Rohe would have designed had they been commissioned for such a piece.  Like the Roorkee, Norell's design uses a system of turned legs and tapered dowels that slip fit together and are held in tension by the leather straps and the weight of the seated user.  It disassembles in about 5 minutes and can be reassembled just as easily.  Its unnerving to pick one up as it feels wobbly, however it feels very sturdy when seated.  This design also relies on the use of quality materials.  A soft wood would flex and the holes and dowels would wear out.  The rosewood and saddle leather used in this piece are well up to the task and will easily last another 50 years.

This piece combines 2 of my favorite furniture materials: rosewood and heavy saddle leather.  Both are richly patinated and have a warm, inviting look.  There really aren't too many styles this chair won't go with: modern, rustic, industrial loft, mountain.  It would be a great show piece for any of these and is comfortable to boot.  Here is what apartmenttherapy has to say about safari chairs.
