Best of ’07: Design Voyeur, Walter Lamb
From Francesca,
My great friend Victoria Kirk is an interior designer in NYC with the most impeccable style; she recently introduced us to the work of Walter Lamb, a furniture designer who created a line for Brown Jordan in the forties. Working with salvaged bronze pipe from sunken naval ships at Pearl Harbor and yacht roping, he created prototypes of the most elegant patio furniture we’ve ever seen. Sadly, prices for vintage pieces are stratospheric.
