Mid-Century Modern Lane brutalist furniture

I want these.  Words cannot describe how much I want a set of this furniture.  I want the bedroom set....

.


and I want the dining room pieces...


Once I saw one of those stupid DIY shows where they try to makeover rooms for under a grand. I hate those shows, BUT, I remember that they had their carpenter do a headboard like this with wood scraps. I might have to try that, as these pieces are super, duper expensive. Especially since they are only vintage Lane furniture pieces. 

Maybe this will be my new summer project? 

PS I am so glad to be back!

I have these. Sideboard, bedside tables and armoire. The sideboard takes 4 men to help move, it's that heavy. Bought off a friend years ago who was going to throw out. Are they valuable/collectable?

yes to both. In a big enough city those pieces are worth quite a bit....

Seeing your blog post - we have the dining room pieces for sale now on eBay (table & chairs and a hutch that is a bit large than the one in your post). We thought you might be interested.

I have seven pieces, including the one shown as dining room. My set includes the two pieces pictured (glass front), king headboard, two nightstands and triple dresser. I am in the DFW metroplex and intend to sell this set as I am downsizing and moving. Please e mail if interested. kmv1208@yahoo.com

JUST bought (like last week) the bedroom dresser. It's wonderful but HEAVY. Broke ourselves hauling it up three flights of stairs...but I lovelovelove it. We already have a Kent-Coffey and a Broyhill in the room so won't be looking for more of this, but it's really a fab piece, well made, and just a joy to look at.

oh! you are so lucky!! I'm still looking for mine- but one day I hope to break myself hauling in one of my own!!

I have the 9 drawer dresser, the queen headboard, a nightstand, and the 5 drawer highboy. I'm starting to look at switching the furniture to something different, but I want to make sure it's going to a good home. Are you still looking for this furnitute? I'd be willing to talk about it with you since you sound like you appreciate the quality.

Let me know and we can work out how to have a private exchange.

What a combo! Sorry, I have found most of the pieces that I wanted, but I am sure that you will find someone who loves this furniture as much as we do! Good luck!!

So glad for your find, especially since you were really really wishing for it!! Way to go on getting your dreamy pieces.

Where did you end up finding them? Maybe that person or store would appreciate another set :)
