Good finds

Re: good finds



[quote user="Chinorlz"]Oh neat! This one is the medium sized one. There is a small one (actually for sale at the Library), this one and the large one. The large one is about 5 feet in diameter. This one is about 3 feet maybe? Like john said, unwearable.... Just a neat art piece for the floor. I think I have photos of mine somewhere..... KH and Minorityrev both have them in their store but not for sale I dont think. Now, one of the Ccp giant gloves just needs to show up online for sale.....[/quote]

They have one for sale at Maxfield. I believe the princely sum of $10K is the price. Very cool fixture for the home as well. Albert, did you pick up one of those spiral belts? Those are pretty gnarly.

Whoa. They actually have one?! $10 is... too much. Can you actually sit on it? I don't really have much of an idea as to the exact scale. Talk about a badass fixture in the house though.

CR is right, I have the largest spiral belt-rug. They used an entire bull hide to make it. Requires quite a large flawless hide. They had it at L'Eclaireur Rue Herold and I day tripped it there to pick it up when I was in Berlin. Definitely a fun piece and strangely enough it was only about $1500. [73]

Thanks for the Maxfield's info! Damn, I'm really curious about that place... one day I'll make it over there.

one day.......

Re: good finds



heehee...nothing wrong with dreaming. After all, sometimes dreams come true. Unlikely in this instance though. The owner has a strong affinity for Poell's work, so things
tend to drift to the storage room only to resurface at a later time. The jeans that disappeared on Cas only to reappear a year later for me to snag is a prime example. I think he set the stratospheric price on the glove so that it wouldn't sell, so that he could keep it as a permanent store fixture. [86] It is proudly and prominently displayed in the center of the men's aisle.

Man Albert! That's a great deal you got on that sprial belt/rug. Do you have pictures of it layed out or have you stored it in a climate controlled vault? Wicked score on that one!

Re: good finds

Lovely piece!

Re: good finds

haha..Yeah John! I saw it as the background image for the C2 pages. Everyone should go over there, check out the site and spend some time doing a little shopping for themselves. The site looks phenomenal with it in the background for sure and Albert's is offering some stellar pieces. And that belt is definitely a stunning showcase piece. I'd love to see that thing spread out on the floor amongst furniture to get an idea of just how massive it is.

very subtle indeed. I didn't realize what that was until you guys pointed it out...

Re: good finds



Thanks for the kind words DHC :)

Yeah, it's a pretty subtle effect that i went for with the belt background. Something that wouldn't be too distracting but would also be better than plain ol black. It's actually so dark that on some computers (including this one I'm at here at the hospital library) just register it as black.

Re: good finds



here are a couple of photos I dug up from the day after i lugged the thing back:

If you guys know the rough size of the CCP buckle, it'll give you an idea of the size. Poor Boris and Nathalie had to work real hard to coil it up so that it would fit into a shopping bag for the flight back for me. [:$][73]

Re: good finds

Albert,

I like the understatement, clean design of your new C2 website a lot.

Fits perfect to the items you're selling.

Keep the good work going man!

Re: good finds



buttons are on women's side for sure (on the photo it is unbuttoned) but sizing is quite strange. i owe one coat from helmut and there is the same thing - men's size, button's on right side, black tag (also i have men's pieces with all white tags which are usually on women's line) and cut somehow pretty unisex... btw, wanted to bid on that coat too ;-)

Christ man!!! That thing is fucking huuuuuge!! I could imagine Boris and Nathalie having to work together to coil that up. Haha. Golden!!
