I’ve always been looking for a mid-century modern style chess set for either playing or displaying. I can see this minimal designed set sitting on my coffee table. I’m not a pro at chess by any means but I do enjoy playing. This modernist styled extruded aluminum chess set was designed by Austin E Cox for Austin Enterprises and manufactured by the Alcoa Aluminum Company.

Ardewerk en Zo is a furniture store located in a small village in the northern part of The Netherlands. They specialize in Royal System wall units designed by Poul Cadovius. I was looking at their flickr pages where they have stunning collections and found these cute ads featuring the wall unit.

There was a wall unit from an online ad that seems like it was from this brand because the design and layouts were very similar. Someone already beat me to it, but I’m hoping that they will decline so that I may have a shot at it. I’m going to cross my fingers.

David Klein is an American illustrator best known for his numerous posters for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines (TWA) during the 1950s and 1960s.

What I like most about his artworks are how he uses poppy colors and dynamic type into a simple abstract composition. Some of his pieces has psychedelic colors, I think it works well for advertisement.

One of his well known piece, the TWA poster that is advertising in New York’s Time Square (above) is a part of  MOMA’s permanent collections. All Posters has a few of his art works including this one which is on sale. You can also check out Ebay, you might just be able to find the original one!

Here are some beautiful mid-century illustrations I found online.  They are vintage Motorola ads from 1963. I just love how the furniture look in these illustrations.
