Screen Time: three very vintage different folding screens. 1940s Artek-Pascoe ‘Tambour’ screen in Pine, 1950s solid Cypress screen from Frank Lloyd Wright Apprentice Lee Kawahara’s now destroyed house in Battle Creek and a Beau/Craft screen from the mid 60s. I haven’t seen any documentation online about this brand so thought it would be worth sharing. Made in Tacoma, WA.

Hans Olsen’s ultra versatile cane and teak modular seating is a favorite here at Trystcraft and we enjoy reweaving the seats in house. If there is interest, I can share a video of how the weaving is done. This set of two benches, six seats, one table and 12 cushions is available on our the website.

This 1950s Italian desk doubles as an eye-catching light fixture, with the nine convex lenses reflecting off the milk glass desktop. Check out those triangular prism marble pulls as well. I don’t know who the designer is but I know it’s good design.

Some Hans Wegner Papa Bear ‘paws’ I made for a chair that was missing both. I took the chance to make them out of some beautiful Bolivian Rosewood because, why not? This 🐻 chair was the first one I’ve also had to disassemble completely to replace broken dowels so it was fun to restore its famously well engineered structure. Looking forward to enjoying this one at home when it’s ready.

A complete George Nakashima Origins Dining set for Widdicomb, 1959. Pic 2 is from the Chicago Tribune in Nov 1961. Set includes table and one leaf, 2 armchairs, 4 side chairs, sideboard and hutch. Table has original pads that explain the great condition and the sideboard even has a Widdicomb signed silverware insert. All in very good original condition. Some great joinery details as is to be expected.

An A Frame cover structure for the sauna I built last week with Casey . It provides a focal point, privacy screen and shelter for the space. I intentionally have it straddling the fence to extend beyond the constraints of the fenced space. I always wanted to reuse the wood from the Campbell and Wong 1952 ‘Leisure House’ replica I built back in 2018 with Robert Vonderlühe and this seemed like a good enough reason to dig them out. A fun summer project!

I spent the past week attempting to learn Japanese Joinery with 20 other woodworking nerds in rural Kentucky and it was a blast! With excellent instruction by Jon Billing and masterful insights from Yama san paired with an idyllic setting to camp in, superb food laid on at every meal and a great atmosphere of sharing and support throughout, I’ll definitely be back for another course.

Routinely misattributed to Vladimir Kagan, it was nice to find this cocktail table was actually designed by Joanne Burke for Mil Mode as seen in the 1961 catalog. The collection took not so subtle inspiration from other designers including Noguchi and Harvey Probber.
