Classified of the Week: Get Your Mid-Century Modern Art Fix

The combination of Beijing's diversity and the anonymity of the Internet make for strange bedfellows. Nowhere is this more true than in this website's Classifieds. We get the full range of requests – and then some – and that doesn't even cover the ones we have to disapprove as they just aren't fit for a good, clean, wholesome.

Amidst many of this week's creative and mundane classifieds is the ad selling Barcelona, Egg, and Eames chairs. Now you might ask "What's so special about this one?" To the regular classified reader, this post may seem like something they could let slip by, but for Mid-Century modern enthusiasts like myself, this one is just too good to pass up.

Charles and Ray Eames were pioneers of the Mid-Century modern style of architecture and interior design in the States. When one mentions Eames, it's hard not to think of Josef Albers, Ludwig Miles van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Arne Jacobsen.

Zone in on this ad to add a mod touch to your Beijing pad. I don't know about you, but I know I'm getting one of these chairs. I'm still trying to decide if I want the Eames egg chair or the Bugatti lounge chair. Mav Furniture Co. which features these iconic classic chairs also has a wide range of other modern classic furniture. The Barcelona chair, Eames lounge, swan, RAR, and Y chair are among the other models.

Just getting my inner architecture geek on.
