Design Voyeur: Walter Lamb

From Francesca

From Francesca,

My 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.

Below: Bronze chaise from the late 1940s; rewebbed in cotton yacht cord. $5,500 at Modest Designs.

We have a frame for a "sunspot" and I wonder if it is a Walter Lamb design - the only image I have seen of these is from a photo of case study homes in LA

WOW, these are vintage and absolutely beautiful. I have been looking through old garages and attics for years for these. I know they are out there because Lamb outdoor furniture is so "unknown" to the masses.

I actually found one in an uncle's garage when I was about 10 years old. I did not know what it was back then. If I recall, it was sold for $2.00 at the estate sale. Apparently, no one else knew what it was either. I guess that why I grew to love Outdoor Living Furniture so much. I realized what I had missed.

Thanks for sharing these Great shots!!
