Collections - Have You Got A Problem!!!!, by scavos on Dec 7, 2007 10:08:48 GMT 1, Great thread Harveyn! My obsessions are music and art. Started with vinyl after sifting through my uncle's record collection as a nipper being blown away by the imagery of Dead Kennedys and Crass. Now have 1000s not to mention CDs. Can't beat the sound of vinyl on an old Rega turntable . Since buying Insect's 'The Eye' my obsession has developed toward art and is gradually gravitating from prints towards originals. None of this is a problem for me. Just a big problem for the good lady. ;D

Then there was trainers, was doing the same. Buying and not wearing. Hummm.

Collections - Have You Got A Problem!!!!, by guest2 on Dec 7, 2007 11:00:43 GMT 1, Great chairs Harveyn.I dont really ever buy new chairs,most of mine are 30s-80s.I think I can challenge you on comfort though with the chair in the middle of the photo.Its called a falcon chair and they are one of the most comfotable chairs ever made.
like floating on a cloud, designed by siggurd russell or something like that) they do them in chome or rosewood and large and small and have amatching coffee tables. I've had about 20 of them in the past!
Large chorme are the best. Made in Norway.

Collections - Have You Got A Problem!!!!, by Tyler Durden on Dec 7, 2007 11:27:20 GMT 1, I collect hotel matches, they're free and unique I collect matches from bars Ive drunk in - dont know why, I don't look at em, I gave up smoking years ago, so don't use them. It's basically a testament to the many places I've been drunk......and in that regard, it's shocking.
I've got a huge bowlful of matches from bars too.. Started off as an easy means to remember where I'd been the night before. Now I prefer not to remember...

I agree,I have a large size in brown with an ottoman and two low black ones.Ive seen the rosewood but never tempted to buy them as they pale in comparison to the chrome version.
Were you a vintage dealer Frankie ?

Yes, I sold modern design, I still do buy. I just bought myself an alvar aalto sidetable and stool with the finmar labels intact. If anyone needs any advice or places to buy such furniture let me know. I'll put you in the right direction. Goes very well with the art. I'll post some pics over the next week or so.

I'm sitting in a Herman Miller Aeron chair at the moment, certainly the most comfortable office chair I've ever had.

I have 3 of those, that's a collection isn't it? Also have a vast vinyl collection and Michael Lau collection and an OXO mug collection of over 200, Cmielow china from the 50's, tribal art, kuba cloth, studio pottery, art books and of coarse prints. Probably missed out a few.

Collections - Have You Got A Problem!!!!, by shogun on Dec 8, 2007 0:33:23 GMT 1, I think collecting is part of being a man (I think men collect more than women).
It starts off with the Panini footy stickers (yes i still have my garbage pail kids series 3 in full) and takes off from there. Be it stamps, airfix kits or even magazines in the teen years. Then it becomes 'serious'
We all collect vinyl and dvds etc. The chairs stuff is really interesting. Watched an Alan Yentob imagine programme on chairs - very interesting.
My own current collections - wrist watches. I used to collect clothes then one day the wife chucked half the stuff in a charity bag. Closest Ive ever been to divorce and probably murder
