Too much time has passed since we last checked in with mid-century furniture aficianado Sam Kaufman, whose diminutive gallery on Beverly Boulevard is always stocked with the most wonderful things. Here he shares hia considerable knowledge to give us a bit of back story to a few of his most recent acquisitions.

"These Danish bar stools, designed by Henry Rosengren Hansen for Brande Møbelfabrik, incorporate some really cool forms, with great craftsmanship and attention to detail.

These are of the most compelling bar stools I have ever seen. Lovely patina to the wood."
