The Multi Fuel Fire is in.

The multifuel fire has been in for a week now and has been used every day.

I picked up a copy of the Daily Mail IDEAL HOME BOOK 1953 - 54 the other day and would you believe it it's in there.

My thoughts of it being a late 60s early 70s design have gone out of the window.

It was design for the Commonwealth House, but I've not been able to find any information about that house but will continue to look.

Contemporary Design in Woodwork by S.H. Glenister

I finally now hove the 3 volumes of this book and it's one of the best reference books for British Mid 20th Century Furniture Design.

They feature furniture, lighting and home wares from the designers / manufactures from 1955 to 1970






There is currently volume one on eBay item no 190492170412

1960's / 70s Space Age Multi Fuel Fire

I found this great original 1960's / 70's multi fuel fire on eBay quite a few months eBay ago and tomorrow they start to fit it.


The installer hasn't ever come across this design but I found found one in the book House & Garden Book of Country Cottages which was published in 1963.



I'll be posting pictures of the installation once it's finished.

Crestworth Twiggy Lamp

Just picked up a very rare Crestworth Twiggy Lamp. It's believed to one of the rarest lamps that Crestworth produced.

Designed by Edward Craven - Walker in the late 1960's and the patent was completed in early 1970.

Twiggy is described as "THE SENSATIONAL ALL-PURPOSE LAMP" in a 1970s Crestworth Brochure. Think of any situation where a flexible all purpose lamp could be used, then think of Twiggy.

The Twiggy Lamp is essentially an all purpose lamp with extreme functionality as you can keep on constantly changing the position and the form of the lamp by adjusting it.

This version may even by a prototype as it has a Flock covering to the shade.

Many thanks to Anthony at http://www.flowoflava.com/ for all his help on this lamp.
