Vintage Designer Spotlight - Georges Briard

As collectors and purveyors of all things vintage, we come across designers who catch our eye and appeal to our own sense of style. Occasionally, a designer will appeal to me, not only for the above reasons but because of their business/branding savvy. These people were the trendsetters of decades. They formed "looks" that would last for years to come...amazing really, when you think about it. For my first vintage designer spotlight, I chose Georges Briard...barware & glassware, table & kitchen linens and a wide variety of china & serving pieces, this man was the master of mid century branding!

Rushmore is Completed and The Jeep is Invented 1942 Casablanca is Released, The T-Shirt is Invented and The Congress of Racial Equality is Formed 1943 The Casablanca Conference is held to plan the next cour

I've Got This Terrible Pain In All The Diodes Down My Left Side!

I’ve got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side This is another comic installment from one of our Vintage & Antiques Community on G+ vintage bloggers, Steve from Mullard Magic. Steve, correctly identifies the vintage audio & radio components, making up ‘Marvin The Paranoid Android,’ in the current BBC radio 4 version of ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.’ “I’ve got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side”, good old Marvin and, doesn’t the symbol for an indirectly heated thermionic diode look similar to Marvin 1.0’s face? The original Marvin Who can forget those fateful words by the laconic and lugubrious Marvin, the Paranoid Android from The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy who was also described as having a brain the size of the planet as the video embedded below will remind you. Of course, Marvin featured large in my formative years, because when I met the yet to be Mrs Mullard Magic, when she was a pert PhD student compl
