wrightNOW

thanks to john at velocity for passing this on to me. no matter how hard i look, i always manage to miss something extremely cool.

wright, a chicago based auction house, has a great online shop where you can buy their auction items without the whole bidding process. they describe their "wrightnow" site by saying, "can’t wait for our next auction? what you’ve come to anticipate with every wright auction will now be available everyday on wright now— an online gallery with signature wright style and a fresh new offering of modern design."

while these pieces will set you back a pretty penny in most cases, the collection is meant to appeal to the design enthusiast looking to invest in some classic, authentic pieces. you can find everything from timeless eames pieces to modern bookshelves and old standards like the tulip chairs and noguchi tables. click here for the full collection.
