Mid Century Metalwork

West Elm drew me to their sale page today with an extra 15% off sale merchandise coupon.  They've always had very cool modern designs, but I actually found some excellent mid century modern inspired furniture and artwork on their site as well.  Specifically the metalwork sculptures by John-Paul Philippé and the office furniture designed in collaboration with the Pratt Institute.  All but one of the following are on sale for very tempting prices, plus an extra 15% off.  I'm currently warring with myself as to whether or not to make the purchase or follow J's strict order to stop buying myself stuff until after my birthday...

This is the really cool metalwork art by John-Paul Philippé.  The wall hanging is shown styled on the site mounted to a painted wood slab and I love the effect.  I'm torn on the free-standing sculpture because I'm enamored with it, but I already have so much stuff cluttering the surfaces of my house.  And the mobile isn't on sale but is probably my favorite.  I absolutely adore the idea of a mobile because it's so non-standard in homes today and the mid century modern design seals the deal.

And here's the Pratt collaboration on office furniture.  I really don't need the desk, so I'm not personally considering it, but I do love it's lines.  And the file cabinet is just fabulous and I'm seriously thinking about getting it to replace the nightstand I have in my guest room.  I really like that it could work dual purposes.
