View AllGuido Faleschini for Mariani Leather and Suede Wrapped Marble Topped Cabinets
By i4 Mariani, Guido Faleschini
Located in Culver City, CA
This pair of cabinet / drybar pair are absolutely stunning! Designed by Guido Faleschini for Mariani in the late 60's, the front of these cabinets is wrapped in a chocolate leather, with chrome drawer and door pulls, with shiny chrome accents; while the sides and the finished backs of the cabinets are wrapped in a slightly lighter chocolate suede (actual leather and suede). The icing on the cake are the marble tops, almost onyx looking, a cream and yellow, heavily veined marble with bullnose finish.
These cabinets absolutely ooze Italian mid century modern luxury down to every detail. These cabinets can be placed together to create a wonderful dry bar area that feature an abundance of storage for your every need.
These cabinets can be seen in our Fall Palm Springs Modernism booth alongside a Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa, a pair of Pierre Paulin Groovy chairs...

Tony Paul for Westwood Brass & Ebonized Walnut Table Lamps, A Pair, 1950s
By Tony Paul, Westwood Lamps
Located in Culver City, CA
Prepare to be mesmerized by this jaw-dropping pair of Tony Paul table lamps—truly, the finest example of his design brilliance I’ve ever seen. These lamps are seriously something special, and they come with a history as glamorous as their aesthetic, having once belonged to a member of the Getty family. Yes, those Gettys.
Standing an impressive 25" tall (and even taller with their shades), these conical beauties are crafted from solid ebonized walnut paired with Swedish brass. The base of the lamp starts wide at the bottom, with several inches of the trunk wrapped in gleaming brass. Then—surprise!—the rich, black walnut peeks through as it tapers upward, leading to an astronomical moment: a brass ellipsis that balloons out like a planetary orbit. Honestly, it's a sight to behold, like some celestial dance of design. As the brass curves inward, the cone tapers out again, returning to that striking ebonized walnut neck. The contrast between the bold black wood and the glowing brass is absolutely chef’s kiss—it’s the kind of design that screams "luxury" even if you’re not well-versed in the world of high-end lighting.
Topping these celestial wonders are 11" tall x 15.75" in diameter ivory lampshades, perfectly completing the look with their understated elegance. Oh, and don’t miss the brass finials at the top—they’re the cherry on top of this mid-century modern masterpiece. The lamps come with their original harps too, making them ready to steal the scene in any room they’re placed in.
As for condition? Both lamps show a beautiful patina on their brass—one of the ellipses has a bit more than the other (as seen in the photos), but honestly, that just means it's been loved a little more. They still make a fabulous pair, and their vintage character only adds to their charm.
Now, let’s talk about Tony Paul—the genius behind these lamps. A true icon of mid-century design, Paul was known for his clean, minimalist approach that perfectly balanced form and function. Whether working with wood, metal, or glass, his designs always had a certain warmth and elegance that made them stand out. His work ranged from furniture to lighting, but it’s his lighting designs that really defined the mid-century aesthetic. He had a knack for combining organic materials with sleek, modern lines, which made his pieces both timeless and versatile.
Paul collaborated with several companies throughout his career, but one of his most notable partnerships was with Westwood Industries, a leading lighting manufacturer of the time. Known for producing high-quality lighting that exemplified the mid-century modern aesthetic, Westwood became the perfect platform for Paul to showcase his talent. Westwood lamps, like these, were crafted with an eye for both detail and durability, often using premium materials like Swedish brass and fine hardwoods, making them highly sought-after by collectors today.
These lamps are not just lighting—they’re art, they’re history, they’re conversation pieces waiting to transform your space. Whether you’re a mid-century modern purist or just someone who appreciates incredible design, these Tony Paul lamps...

Monumental Adrian Pearsall Brutalist Wall Mounted Disc Dry Bar, 1970's
By Adrian Pearsall, Craft Associates
Located in Culver City, CA
Available right now we have this increasingly rare, mid century modern, brutalist disc bar by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates. This brutalist wall mounted disc cabinet is definitely a conversation piece-- stretching a whopping 48" in diameter, this disc dar opens to reveal a mirrored back as well as 2 shelf inserts.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this entire brutalist line of furniture appears to have (pretty obviously) been inspired by American craft movement designer Paul Evans, who designed nearly identical pieces which were available through Directional Furniture to the trade in the 1960's and 1970's.
While this piece doesn't have the pedigree of an original Paul Evans piece, what is does have is an abundance of over-the-top maximalist style with a much more palatable price tag.
Without being mounted to the wall, this piece was a little tougher than an average piece to photograph, but for scale purposes we photographed it resting on the floor alongside a Fabricius and Kastholm grasshopper...
