Vista of California 50s Bar Stools – Set of 2

About the Item

Classic mahogany and iron bar stools made by Vista of California, c.1950s. Great design. These very comfortable bar height stools feature mahogany wood slats for the seats and powder coated tubular steel frames with a thinner strip of steel tubing serving as as a footrest. Vista of California was a seminal part of the California Modernism Design movement in the 50s and 60s. Vista of California was founded by Donald R. Bates and Jackson Gregory Jr. and featured legendary designers such as Don Knorr. The price is for the set of two. NOTE: We do also have another pair of Vista Bar Stools available - see other listing. Dimensions: 14” width x 20” depth x 33” height; seat height is 29.5“ Condition: Excellent vintage condition. SEE PHOTOS. These bar stools would look tremendous in any Mid-Century Modern, post modern, Danish Modern, Brazilian modern, or contemporary environment. We currently have these paired in a room with a Willy Rizzo for Cidue dining set, a 1970s Mastercraft brass coffee table and a Joaquim Tenreiro desk.

Robert Maxwell for Earthgender Critter Sculptures, Set of Three
By Robert Maxwell
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Beautiful set of three, 1970s Robert Maxwell stoneware critter sculptures for Earthgender. The set includes: three critters. Very good condition. See photos. Shows extremely well. Two of the three are signed on underside. Robert Maxwell has always worked with stoneware. Stoneware is a high-fire ware, second only to porcelain in terms of vitrification. Objects usually emerge from the bisque firing a light tan color but can be turned to rust (red-brown) by reduction (reducing the amount of oxygen in the kiln.) Maxwell generally favors the rust colored body, which he often leaves unglazed when producing his signature style animals. His animals start life just like any other object on the potter’s wheel. The difference is that midway in the process a typical vessel form morphs into an imaginary animal. The open top becomes the mouth of the beast and the base, with the addition of a tail, becomes the rear end...
