The lounge chair. Ah. To relax. Everyone wants to do it and do a lot of it. A good relaxing chair does not have to exist at the expense of an appealing form. In good industrial design, form may follow function, but its never a slave to function. Guys instinctively know this. This is why beautiful vintage cars still grace garages and workshops and streets all across America. Guys know that design is important for things like hot rods, but when it comes to things inside the living room, they suddenly black out. You've spent so many hours in the garage perfecting the inside of the engine of a sexy hot rod tripping on exhaust fumes, that you're content to relax in something reminiscent of a puffy floral covered curtain stuffed with cotton.
It doesn't have to be that way. We here at Manly Vintage are here to help. Below is a list of iconic and timeless lounge chairs that have great lines, look awesome in any home, and provide comfortable seating.
1. The Bertoia Diamond Chair with Seat Cushion
This classic chair was designed by Harry Bertoia in 1952 for the Knoll furniture company. Bertoia seems to have been obsessed with bent metal, as many of his most iconic pieces are constructed from bent steel. Of all the pieces featured in this post, some would argue that its the least comfortable. You can, however, choose to purchase the Diamond Chair with a full cover which increases the amount of padding. Personally, I've sat in them and found them more than adequate. The form, I presume, makes people think that it won't be as comfortable as it should be. They make a version which is good for outdoor seating. This bad boys look awesome next too a pool.
2. The Floating Lounge Chair by Milo Baughman
Baughman is one of my favorite furniture designers of all time. He loved chome and many of those chome pieces give off an ephemeral hollywood glam that is still muted enough to be presentable even in typical midwestern home. The chrome only gives off a hint of the seventies and even more-so a modern take on the Hollywood regency style. These chairs ooze comfort and style. Floating above the ground, they are reminiscent of much of the work of Swiss designer and artist Le Corbusier. I have a similar pair of chairs in my home and they are exceedingly comfortable. I wish I knew if mine were Baughman or not.
3. The Barcelona Chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Mies van der Rohe designed the entire Barcelona series for the World Exposition in Barcelona in 1929. The chair itself was said to be inspired by an Egyptian folding chair and a Roman folding footstool. It is one of the most famous pieces of modern furniture ever designed and made. My wife called the chair a "bachelor chair", and I would most definitely agree. America's Most excellent bachelor, Patrick Bateman rocked the Barcelona chair and ottoman.
4. lc2 by Le Corbusier
This chair, designed in 1928, was very controversial when it was released to the public. Lots have changed since then. Its considered to be so iconic, the museum of modern art keeps one in its collection. I can't think of a chair that looks more comfortable. Clean lines, lots of color and fabric choices, and tons of knock-offs to fit any budget, this chair would be a good choice for a lot of guys.
5. The Womb Chair by Eero Saarinen
The womb chair was designed in 1948 by Saarinen to be a chair that would be completely comfortable, almost "womb like". Get it? Anyways, this chair, designed by a Fin and manufactured by the American company Knoll, is really one of the most comfortable lounge chairs you can own.
Of all the chairs on the list, this is the one that I wish I had.
Sure it's a little lowbrow, but man this Best Wins of 2010 is a nail bitter. So many close calls, anyone with a heart condition should watch with caution. I don't care what anyone says, I could watch this crap all day.

Anyways, coffee is swell beyond description, and every serious drinker has a favorite cup. Maybe it was a gift, has a pleasant shape, or some lol phrase on the side; you want that cup every morning. Hey I get it. I'm in between two cups myself. For a good two years I stayed faithful to a cheap restaurant-style cup. Plain white, nothing spectacular. Then Tami thrifted this cool "history of the telephone" coffee cup from the 80s that has really got my attention. It has all the noteworthy telephone designs listed with the years, it's cool beans, and it's bigger. Ah, decisions.
So here are a handful of coffee cups off Etsy. We are pretty much down to the wire with any guarantees of arrival by Christmas, so act fast. Just contact the seller after purchase and tell them you'll bring their shop to the ground if you don't receive it by Christmas. Trust me, it'll work.
1) Skull and Bones Diner Mug. I met this seller at the Winter Renegade couple weeks ago. I'd love an entire serving set with this design.
2) Vintage Tupperware Coffee Cups. I'm a sucker for these. I grew up with these as our cups, I love them. I found a vintage Tupperware kitchen canister set last year at the thrift store, bought it , came home glowing, and Tami's like, "why did you come home with this ugly crap?". I was like, "shut up, I like them". Cool story, uh?
3) Born to Shop Coffee Mug. For the woman in your life that spends all your money. But would you want it any other way?
4) Vintage Ribbed Metal Thermos. Ok, so not a cup or mug, but holds coffee. I'm in the market for a Thermos for when I go on 1st shift at work, email me for my address. ; ) Isn't this picture great?
5) Vintage Federal Explosive Coffee Cup. Company swag is usually lame to the extreme, this thankfully, is not.
Well there you go. Thank the good Lord for coffee. Praise Him.
Last week while heading towards check out at Home Depot, I passed the beginning of their holiday sale display at the front of the store. The whole lot was organized as such: $40 and under, $30 and under… well, you get the idea. With all those hot fresh tools in one place, I slightly arched my head back and let out a, “arr, arr, arr.”
Then it hit me, Home Improvement flashbacks dropped all over my frontal lobe. I use to watch that show, like all the time. Granted, I didn’t love the show, maybe didn’t even really like to the show, but it was on after school and was right before the Simpsons.
I was drawing blanks with any of the shows details, so I hopped on the INTERNET!!! and read the entirety of the show’s Wikipedia page. Man, first-rate times, I guess. Besides the super cute mom, the rest of the cast borders on unbearably obnoxious. Ugh, and the later seasons with one son being goth, and the other a preachy liberal constantly talking about environmental nonsense; fast forward to the Simpsons please.
I looked up some quotes from the show and had a good laugh. From the quotes, I’d have to say my favorite character is head honcho Tim; and the way I’ve been acting around power tools lately, I think I’m becoming him.
Before buying a house, literally, all my tools fit inside our apartment's junk drawer. Pretty much a common hammer and screwdriver, cheap ones at that. And now, here I am at Home Depot, lusting over specific kinds of hammers. You mean there’s more than one kind of hammer? Yes my lad, there’s a plethora of diverse hammers; and check this out! You can choose a different weight for the same kind of hammer, you know, for comfort and smashing power.
Sure, Home Depot is a good choice for up-to-date power tools and items you lean towards wanting new; but lets not forget my first love, secondhand! More specifically, estate sales!
For anyone thinking/needing to build a tool collection, estate sales is the place to get the most bang for your buck.
We’re not talking cheap made in China or Taiwan garbage; your average estate sale generally reaches back to the late 50s early 60s, sometimes the 1940s 30s, enough to be considered common, and on the rare-ish side 1920s or before. Everything back then was tough as nails and made in the USA; built to last a lifetime baby. I highly recommend, purchasing your essential hand tools this way, you’ll get what you need dirt cheap, and be able to give new life to a piece of American history.
Not much time left before Christmas! Go hop on estatesales.net, find some killer sales, and start popping on some tools for the Tim Taylor in your life.

So after seeing Jayson's last blog post, like any good friend, I said, "I'm gonna do something even more last minute and better!" Our blog relationship is very much like most friendships, a stronger person befriends a weaker person for that constant reminder of how much cooler they are. So thank you Jayson, for reminding me.
But really folks, competition does play a big part in this blog. Like, have you noticed blogging has been spotty the last month or so? No competition is to blame. For awhile we had a contest that required a post every other day, the first one to fail bought the other beer and cigarettes. Yeah, I won that bad boy, won it good.
Back to the project! I've had this antique occasional table sitting around for a couple years now, I originally bought it to set my fish tank on. It's not my style, and has spent all of it's time in the attic since we bought our house. It would still be up there if I hadn't discovered a wonderful little blog last week that's rocking my socks off.
The blog is Knack. I discovered Knack after trolling for a couple hours on Design Sponge, also a recently discovered blog. Knack is a woman completely obsessed with painting all things furniture, she guest posts on Design Sponge with a series called "Before and After Basics". Seriously worth bookmarking ever one of her posts.
I for one, have always been anti painting when it come to wood furniture. My parents always frowned upon it, so I always did. I still cringe looking at some of her(Knack's) furniture, but it was this little piece here, that set my heart afire and inspired my last minute bazaar project.
Yes, I'm still the worst blogger ever. Again I forgot to take a before picture, so I dug this poor res pic off my wife's Flicker. It looks halfway decent in this picture, but the top was very worn, and the whole piece was a pecan color, which has to be the most feminine color for furniture ever.
Before.
Knack inspired, I was gonna do a masking tape design on the top. After stripping and sanding the veneer, I fell in love and decided to let it shine.
I painted the bottom sexy flat black, kept the top natural, and finished the whole piece with polyurethane.
After. Here it is in line ready to go off to the Bazaar. Apologize for the crappy picture, in a bit of a rush with tomorrow and all. See you at the Bazaar!
The Vintage Bazaar is next Friday! Drag yourself and all your turkey stuffed, cranberry fed, and gravy stained friends and family to the third installment of this crazy vintage roller coaster that is the Vintage Bazaar.
This Bazaar will be a big deal for Jayson and I for numerous reasons. 1) Space. A 15' by 20' space. Our last booths had two tables with smalls stacked as high as safely possible. This time around furniture is king, with smalls guarding the rear. 2) Investment. We've both have put down a pretty penny to make sure our booth rocks the casbah. 3) Quality. We've managed some jaw dropping picks, with the utmost attention to detail, design, and quality. The staging is gonna be tight, the items killer, and the PBR plentiful.
I've spent every evening this week working at the arrangement of the space, and it going places let me tell ya. I struggled at the beginning with how to bring together our wide assorted of pieces, starting with 1930s industrial, to 1970s space age glam. What brought peace to my soul was dividing the space into three, mostly thinking back to amazing homes I've been during estate sales.
The front of the space is a high-end MCM living/dining room, sleek, clean, and expensive. The middle is the home's kitchen, laid back and cute. The back of the space is the basement, man cavernous to the extreme. The place to have beers with your buddies under a 10-point deer mount.
I really love the space, hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
So where are the pictures? With the sun gone by the time I get home, I simply couldn't get the lighting to place a that I could release pictures with good conscience. This weekend for sure. In the mean time, here are pictures of the geniuses that designed items that will grace the front of our booth.
So I'm name dropping. So what.
If you have been living under a rock, go here to learn about the Vintage Bazaar.
My wife and I couldn't differ more in our likes/dislike of home decor. She was definitely caught up in the cute Scandinavian, danish modern clean lines, wave of moms, kinda thingy. Bright happy rooms make her happy. Crazy right?
I don't know what the heck you'd call my decor vision. Grumpy old man chic. Nothing makes me happy.
My wife won some wallpaper on Ebay that just recently arrived at our house. The wallpaper is cute and lovely, of course, and she excitedly told me her idea about having a accent wall in our dining room. An accent wall? First, what the heck is a accent wall? Second, what the heck would it do in my sparsely furnished viking lodge of a dining room? I gave her that look, you know that look that men do that makes a woman's blood boil?
The problem is I really can't defend my decor choices, all her criticism is of course spot on. Depressing junk is about right.
I think I've stretched myself a little thin in bringing home an over all style for our house. I'm not home all that much to put it all together, so real solid pieces or ideas just sit in different corners of the house, and well, everything just looks unfinished.
My wife and I have been talking a lot about the kind of husband I am, and stubborn and self-centered are at the top of my flaw list. I know dealing with these sins via home decor may sound flippant, but you gotta start somewhere. So here we go.
I give up. She wins. I'll do whatever makes her happy. I'd be lost without her, and I know she'll put together a home that makes us both proud. If that means birds and clouds in every room, whatever man.
AND. Lets not get too crazy. I do have a finished basement she only goes down to do laundry, it's all mine baby. First on the list, a manly vintage workshop. I've got tools up the ying yang with nowhere to go.
I'm thinking a cast-iron inspired, dark but well lit, industrial dungeon of home improvement. Definitely a project for the deep Chicago cold after the new year.
Hello, my name is Morgan, and I don't finish things.
I'm a total sucker for thinking of myself as a jack of all trades, fixer upper, 101 projects going on at once without breaking a sweat; where did I get that crazy idea.
Right now, my garage sits with only a quarter of a roof. I started it last week.
The hole I dug three months ago to patch my foundation crack has yet to be filled. I dug a 5' x 4' hole in about a hour and a half, not bad aye? Filling the hole? Um yeah...
Don't get my wife started on the work I need to do in the basement. Forget about it.
On top of my house, which, in all truthfulness, I haven't been too bad getting the ball rolling lately; I have literally, a couple years worth of furniture/vintage projects clogging my brain waves. I'm at a emotional/visual/monetary, do or die moment with a lot of this stuff .
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!!!
So I'm challenging myself. Roof and hole are asap, but they're kinda boring, the fun part of the challenge will be some of the vintage projects I've gathered around myself for the last couple years. Did I say some? Maybe more like twenty...
With the upcoming Vintage Bazaar(woot woot) I've been doing inventory, and I'm ashamed, flipping ashamed about how many chairs I bought with good intentions but never got around to them. There's also about six lamps and two fans, but I have a long history of failure with the chairs. I really love chairs. Especially wood chairs that have ripped upholstery, or one broken arm, or just a frame of a chair. For years I bought them off Craigslist and at estate sales, vowing to fix em' up, but they would just stacked up in our apartment basement. Now with a house they have been all over the attic. Last night I bought them down into the basement to start work.
My secondary goal in all of this, is to offer all my current projects finished and beautiful to my customers at the next Vintage Bazaar, but my main goal is to make this a regular act in my vintage circus I'm putting on for all you lucky people, maybe even start designing and building my own furniture...
My plans for some of these pieces are maybe a little too grand. I'm determined to use real leather for the upholstery. Is this hard? My wife is a seamstress extraordinaire, who has promised to help with the fabric and leather ordeals. We shall see.
Below is my room of projects, hover over each picture for a description and some idea of what I plan to do.
You probably don't remember, but after the second Bazaar at the Congress Theater, I wrote this:
The J-Dog and I are pretty much pros at this now, but there are a couple things we're gonna do different next time.
1. Bigger is better. Lets just say, we're sick of selling items, we want to sell rooms. Rooms baby! So maybe this WILL become a cute couple interior design blog. harharhar.
The last Bazaar, Jayson and I left the theater that night vowing to never get a small vendor space again. We wanted the furniture, the room for styling and presentation, the dizzying highs! The crushing lows! We want it all.
Well our dreams have been answered! Manly Vintage is one of the five sellers that will be keeping it real at the next Vintage Bazaar in a Logan Square store front. A FLIPPING STORE FRONT!!! Info herehere and here.
Jayson and I are gonna have some killer sleepovers as we set up and stage beforehand in my basement. Oh it's gonna be manly alright.
I haven't been able to even take it home yet, as I had a car full of four kids at the time. This ridiculous piece of furniture only cost me $30 and I actually got it from my own church's rummage sale. When I first saw it, I was interested, but unsure. I looked underneath for a marking, and the Knoll tag made my heart flutter. But I'm so ignorant about mid-century furniture I still had to text my pal Michael from Flatout Design and ask if it was worth. When I sent him the picture via sms asking if it was worth $30, his response was, "Where's the church? Is there anything else good there?"
I thought it might be worth around 150 or so, but upon further research, it may be worth more than that if I fix it up. If I sell it for something ridiculous, I'll give a portion of the profitback to my church. Its going to need to be refinished, but it'll be amazing once I do.
I constantly need to remind myself to listen and learn from my Dad. He has served and loved the same woman for over 26 years. He is a praying man, and I know I'll be in his prayers till the day he dies. He is steadfast, which I can't even fathom someone describing me as that.
Here's a handful of pictures of a younger him. The last one includes yours truly.
"Dazzle camouflage, also known as Razzle Dazzle or Dazzle painting, was a camouflage paint scheme used on ships, extensively during World War I and to a lesser extent in World War II. Credited to artist Norman Wilkinson, it consisted of a complex pattern of geometric shapes in contrasting colors, interrupting and intersecting each other."

Razzle Dazzle enthusiast have a blog here. Prints of the original plans are being sold here. Definitely something to keep in mind the next time you're sprucing up the home office or your son's room.
Original frame in the back. Its hand drawn, not a photograph. I know I know it looks exactly like something that Sue over at Estrogen Rescue Squad would love, but I'm no hater when it comes to antiques. Morgan is planning on decorating his son's room with antique pictures of men with beards and mustaches. I think this might fit right in. The person I bought it from was related to the couple. Sad she didn't want to keep it. That's life.
This photo was made in the Old Secretariat in Patna, Bihar, India….
When I entered, of the dozen or so people in the room, two or three were snoring. Others had their feet on the desk and were comfortably…dozing away. One man was actually doing what I naively thought they were all supposed to do: typing.
When asked why they kept this “typewriter graveyard,” he answered: “This is not a graveyard! These typewriters are awaiting new personnel. We’re 40% understaffed.”
For a long time I thought Flickr was alright, I guess. It is full of photographic badassery, but for reals, to find all the good stuff it took some digging. Just about every design blog out there has a folder labeled "inspiration" or "ideas", and you'd have a handful on cute decor pics taken by some stay at home mom from Connecticut or San Francisco. The quality of those blog worthy pictures from moms everywhere, and the crap that came up even when I searched specific terms, was maddening.
So, I emailed original gangster from BackGarage K-Raz and asked her what her secret was. The answer is... search in groups. So instead of only having the endurance of your clicking finger at your disposal, you employ discerning photographers from around the world to sort through the blah and put all the hotties in one place. Pretty cool bro. Maybe this is common knowledge? I tell ya, it has turned my Flickr world upside down.
The very first group I started following after the revelation was Industrial Decay. The main reason I'm popping all over this group is I'm crazy excited for the new AMC series The Walking Dead, like Mad Men who? Seriously. It premieres on Halloween, wow, such a wonderful time to be alive. Here's the hot pics.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. -Jack Handy
When we first bought our house 5 months ago I had some pretty crazy ideas. When I should have been priming and painting, I was searching for a mid-century fridge. When I should have been bringing our home up to city code, I was out in Burbank digging in a garage for a 1940s gas stove. When I should have been fixing gutters and patching the foundation, I was scouring estate sales for an antique butcher block.
I’m doing this post because, well, I have some regrets. I wasted way too much time with my head in the clouds, on Craigslist list, and in line at estate sales. There I said it. Are you happy?
Majority of my failure happened in the kitchen. I wanted it all gone. I dreamed a striped down freestanding kitchen, porcelain counter tops, cast iron pots and pans hanging from the ceiling, large butcher knives on the wall. I still yearn for all of this, but really, it’s not gonna happen.
For one, my wife hates this idea. I mean, come on, she’s the one who actually use the room, and I should have all the say on how it looks. Right? …NOT.
Second, I wasn’t a handy dude at all. What do you expect for a guy who spent his life in apartments in the city? I’m getting better. Look out second home we buy! First home, not so much.
Lastly, money. Duh!
So where is all this confession coming from? Well I sold the 1954 Fridge I bought with all its sexy chrome, and today, I’m putting my 1940s Roper stove for sale on Craigslist. All this giving up is taking its toll.
But I tell ya, earlier today when I stroked the stove’s pure white porcelain top while smoking a cigarette in the garage, it was all worth it man; but then, maybe not.
So my wife and I are doing the best we can with our kitchen for now. I get to keep the butcher block, hurrah!
Here’s our kitchen in its current state (minus the fridge); it’s pretty sad, dated (in the bad way), and much work to be done. Sniff
Take me to a place where money, beer, and vintage floweth. Sure thing Shakespeare, that place is the Vintage Bazaar.
The second installment of the Vintage Bazaar was a smashing success but especially smashing, charming, sexy, oh and manly; here and here. (see below diagram)
The J-Dog and I are pretty much pros at this now, but there are a couple things we're gonna do different next time.
1. Bigger is better. Lets just say, we're sick of selling items, we want to sell rooms. Rooms baby! So maybe this WILL become a cute couple interior design blog. harharhar.
2. Cooler. For. Beer. For the cost of one beer at the Congress I skipped over to a liquor store and got a six pack. It was a big hit with Katherine and Libby. Jayson and I may have been getting a little loud with some customers towards the end. maybe. maybe not.
3. I'm gonna build an industrial size hand truck for next time. Come on, we're professionals!
4. We need signage. Manly signage.
Gotta go to work. Jayson, feel free to add to the list, wherever you are.
Y'all need to get your behinds out to the Vintage Bazaar. If the last Vintage Bazaar is any indication, its going to be epic. Lots of cool vintage stuff, beer, pies, music. Its this Sunday from 12-7 at the Congress Theater.
(Sorry this a bit of an afterthought,seeing everything is sold except for the stool, I'm a lazy blogger)
"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time."
If for a second you're thinking I'm copying an IKEA catalog, you're wrong, it's Fight Club dude. 1999 man, it was another 2-3 years before I even heard about this thing called IKEA. Another 1-2 years before my smoking hot wife and I filled our first apartment with their cheap particle board whatnot.
When was this layout original and fresh? Am I fresh?
Anyways, I like it. The folks on Craigslist couldn't get enough, got a bunch of replies just for the pictures.
"Only after disaster can we be resurrected."
"Hey, you created me. I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!"
I might of been obsessed with everything Chuck Palahniuk back in the day. good times.
I will definitely be offering this again, think about it, maybe even posting a whole room on Craigslist. The possibilities...
The lounge chair. Ah. To relax. Everyone wants to do it and do a lot of it. A good relaxing chair does not have to exist at the expense of an appealing form. In good industrial design, form may follow function, but its never a slave to function. Guys instinctively know this. This is why beautiful vintage cars still grace garages and workshops and streets all across America. Guys know that design is important for things like hot rods, but when it comes to things inside the living room, they suddenly black out. You've spent so many hours in the garage perfecting the inside of the engine of a sexy hot rod tripping on exhaust fumes, that you're content to relax in something reminiscent of a puffy floral covered curtain stuffed with cotton.
So I'm name dropping. So what.
