Hot Air Balloon Gondola Pub Bar Dining Table Rattan Basket Hand Painted Map
Located in Dayton, OH
"Vintage Hot Air balloon pub dining table deisgned by Dennis Deis, painted by Richard Mantia, and inspired by the book Around the World in 80 days, a novel by Jules Verne. This collaboration was born to raise funds for the AIDS fundraiser at the Masonic Temple in Dayton Ohio circa 1980s. The base or gondola was made by Cameron, and frequently used by Dennis during his flights before being retired and used for this installation art. The decorated gondola base supports a hand painted table top showing a colorful birdseye continental map view. At the center is handmade lamp fashioned to look like the burner of a hot air balloon. The round ceiling canopy features a red and gold candy cane exterior and mirrored interior allowing for a unique reflection off of the lantern below. Between the canopy and table surface is a fun rope and pulley design offering added dimension. The table can sit four to five stools comfortable. Dennis Deis Bio: Dennis George John Deis, b 1942 - 2012 was a loving, dedicated, trustworthy, and fun-loving family man and friend. At 70 years old, he had lived a rich, albeit too short life. He was born on May 29th, 1942, in his parents' home in Kettering's Greenmont Village. He started his adventures outside of Greenmont at 18, when he enlisted in the Navy. He served from March 28, 1960 to May 28, 1963. When he returned, he married Joyce Breckler and started working for Ohio Bell as a phone installer. After 27 years, he retired as a PBX installer for AT&T. He started a second career as a hot air balloon pilot and entrepreneur of Rainbow's End balloon flights. He was frequently seen flying over the Dayton area in the rainbow-colored Houser Asphalt balloon. Ballooning took him on adventures in Michigan, Iowa, New Mexico, Arizona, and Europe. He flew over European castles and great scenic views for Buddy Bombard. Over 10,000 Daytonians shared a balloon basket...

Vintage Italian Geometric Dry Bar by Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti, Italy
Located in Paris, France
This exceptional and very rare Italian dry bar, cocktail cabinet, designed by Giovanni Offredi one of the most discreet but among the most ingenious designers who created for the Italian manufacturer Saporiti. This design comprises a cylinder with a part of the body in black sheathed leather and the other part of the body that represents the door, is in wood forming abstract geometric shapes in wood veneered with bird's eye maple in warm tones, the interior is completed by two circular glass shelves. More than a piece of furniture, this stunning piece is a sculpture, like a TOTEM, it is topped with a turntable that can allow you to put glasses, the time to serve your guests. Make sure this eye-catching dry bar t is as useful as it is stylish and will pair with antique pieces, Art Deco or contemporary interiors. Unfortunately the photos do not do enough justice, do not hesitate to ask for more or a video. Giovanni Offredi confesses about the design: "What worries me most, when I consider a topic, is not so much the evaluation of its epidermal appearance, but its intimate essence," offers. “In the field of furniture, it is unfortunately difficult to find clients willing to carry out too innovative experiments. Furniture is in fact an asset that must last over time without exceeding certain costs. More advanced innovations can be found more easily in the objects sector”. "Italian design, which has always drawn its success from the balance between rationality and fantasy, seems to have lost this harmony. The craving for the new has created confusion. Some are caught up in forced attempts, thinking of finding space in the market and achieving success. The Postmodern, born as an act of controversy against certain rationalist positions, fossilized over time, and then established itself for the desire to renew certain forms, freeing them from their rigidity, has been transforming up to identify with the search for novelty at all costs. However, the Post Modern failed to go beyond the surface, it failed to give content to its forms. Here then we no longer have to deal with a cultural fact, but with a fact of fashion and beyond rationality there is only passion, the ephemeral, the passenger ". "The object must find its reason for utility in beauty; but, only if you can give the external aspect a content and an expressive meaning, the result can be said to be valid. I consider giving shape to an object as an attempt to obtain the image of its deepest reason. And we must not confuse beauty with appearance, since the latter is the superficial part of the form. Beauty will be greater the more it emerges of its substance. In essence, I want to make those objects that I try to create live out of their own life”. "Among the thousands of possible forms, one is chosen, the most significant of the particular cultural moment that is in us, and which is dependent on the intensity and richness of the knowledge that presses us to come to life; therefore design will never be fashionable, since this is only the ephemeral passion of its time "."The object must find its reason for utility in beauty; but, only if you can give the external aspect a content and an expressive meaning, the result can be said to be valid. I consider giving shape to an object as an attempt to obtain the image of its deepest reason. And we must not confuse beauty with appearance, since the latter is the superficial part of the form. Beauty will be greater the more it emerges of its substance. In essence, I want to make those objects that I try to create live out of their own life”. "Among the thousands of possible forms, one is chosen, the most significant of the particular cultural moment that is in us, and which is dependent on the intensity and richness of the knowledge that presses us to come to life; therefore design will never be fashionable, since this is only the ephemeral passion of its time ". Over the years, the Milanese designer Giovanni Offredi (1927-2007) has ranged from the design of furniture to lamps, from kitchens to telephones, from furnishing accessories to televisions. Since 1950, Saporiti Italia produces some of the most sophisticated and advanced pieces of furniture of the history of Italian design. Between 1970-1980 Giovanni Offredi had a big success with his innovative design for example the Wave sofa represents the peak of the Saporiti international success. Its purity of lines and its extra-large proportions, result in an incredible attraction for Saporiti’s international markets. There is a leit motiv...

Antique, New and Vintage Dry Bars

The name “dry bar” can be a bit of a misnomer. After all, the last thing you would want a bar to do is run dry. In this case, the “dry” descriptor in your antique or vintage dry bar doesn’t refer to a lack of drinks. Instead, it serves to differentiate dry-bar furniture from wet-bar installations. The latter is typically a permanent fixture in a home, requiring plumbing to support a built-in sink.

In short, a dry bar is a piece of furniture or tabletop area that you’ve built into your space for mixing cocktails and storing everything needed —bottles, barware and other accessories — for the intoxicating in-home bar you’ve designed.

Some dry bars were built with minimalism in mind. Those crafted by designers associated with mid-century modernism or Scandinvanian modern, for example, likely looked to these as practical furnishings to serve as a cabinet or case piece. But there have been decorative and even outwardly sculptural interpretations by Art Deco furniture makers and those working in the Hollywood Regency style over the years.

No matter what kind of antique, new or vintage dry bar fits your space, these versatile furnishings can definitely elevate your home bar area as well as your hosting. We’ll toast to that!
