Jill spots a spectacular I Dream of Jeannie chair and sofa…and a new junque shoppe

Posted by: Pam Kueber • October 6, 2008

New reader Jill sent in this stunning gold chair – with matching sofa – from a store in Vancouver. This I Dream of Jeannie set was sold. But my goodness, I went to look at their site and there were several other finds I found quite fabulous as well – and at pretty decent prices. Thanks, Jill!

Hi Pam,

I saw this 1950′s couch and chair on a local vintage store website and I thought they were so cool that I would like to share the photo’s with you and your readers. They were in the “recently sold” section. This is the write up that was with them:

This amazing 50′s sofa has lovely gold colored fabric and a curved wooden frame. Excellent condition! It comes with the matching equally fabulous chair.

This is a truly stunning piece, comes in gold velvety fabric, with amazing curved wooden frame. Excellent condition. You won’t believe your eyes! ** Sofa and Chair sold as a set only!! Price: $2,200.00

Thanks,

Jill

ALAS: DISCONTINUED! The website says that these are for “contract” jobs — that is, interior designers working on commercial projects. But hey, if you really like these retro laminate choices, go after Nevamar and get them!

I have been working on retro laminates lately – and originally thought there were only these big five: Wilsonart, Formica, Pionite, Nevamar and Arborite. But – I’ve now discovered a 6th company – Arpa USA. They have a terrific-looking portfolio — of solids, in particular. Some of the greens come darn close to that famous [...]
