Nostalgia

I was going through some old photos, the boys wanted to see how their mom looked like as teen....I really should take the albums out more, we had such a good time.
Suddenly I came across this photo of my mom (in the chair) my sister (holding the dog) and I, in our house which suddenly looks so funky and fun to me. I had to share it with you. Notice my mom is covered with some fantastic piece of Marimeko fabric and sitting on an Eams lounge chair (my dad still has that chair) there is a Marimeko table cloth too, I remember it so well, it was made of oil cloth, I wonder if you can still get it....the photo was taken in 1970.

I love Marimekko (and they are doing a collection for HM this spring - at least here in Europe) - and I actually admired this chair today in a designstore - thinking were it would fit in my livingroom. It is fun to see how fashion and design move in cycles (hmm, don't know if I translated this well into English)

That's a great picture.. We are the same age so I can relate. My father was a furniture designer in the 50's and 60's (Paul McCobb) and my mother ran a design business after his death in '69. We lived in NYC then and she loved Merimeko and that type of design. Where were you living in this photo?
