Great write up of the show! Love the commentary on the Finn Juhl chair. As a furniture making friend of mine has said. “A chair shouldn’t dare you to sit on it” I frequently have this thought looking at Tenreiro chairs!
I am in the process of making at least a small zine of Art Basel Basel & Paris booth furniture. Like everybody else apparently I was wondering why this has not been done yet.
Hi Charlotte- Thanks for reading both the Substack "blog" and my book! An updated version would be fun & informative, but I'm not sure anyone would want to publish it. But if you know someone, please let me know! Thanks again for your support! All the best, -Patrick
Enjoying your Substack. Just re-reading your book, I do this at the start of every year to get the necessary kick in the pants for a year of wheeling and dealing. Have you thought about doing a revised edition? I feel like so much has changed in the last 6 years in collecting and buying and I’d be interested in your take. Maybe it’s just prices rocketing rather than any substantial change in the industry, who knows!
