Relax. Take it easy. Sit back in style. There must be a few of you out there doing that right now after taking advantage of our Valentine Day sale… there was a lot to love in February – I hope you got some!
If you missed out in the furniture love stakes, then you are still in luck. We have a couple of classic vintage danish pieces just waiting for that perfect spot. A stylish daybed by Hans Wegner, a couple of easy chairs by Arne Norelle, three Hans Wegner easy chairs (model GE 375) and a Stouby sofa.
All classic design pieces. Authentic, vintage danish furniture. It’s the real deal.
(PS Speaking of the real deal – the first three photos in this blog entry were taken by local photography expert Mandy Miller…pretty fab I think…)

Valentines Day sale is coming!
Love for a lifetime. We all crave a lifetime love for someone and somethings don’t we? Perfections. Imperfections. The changes across time. But the love is still there. Sometimes you can’t explain it or quantify it. It’s a mystery! Love is love after all.
Well, with love in the air we think its time to come and find some lovely furniture. Give it to yourself to love. Or to someone you love. Own it because of love. We know you will love it for a lifetime. I think you know it too…
Our sale starts 14 February for two weeks. Come and find us and fall in love.

Container day sale!
We have had a busy week unpacking new stock, working out which cushions go with which chairs and which legs go with which dining tables and then restoring and polishing and of course tenderly loving each piece as we finally check over them! And finally! – our September Sunday sale day is here and now…and as usual with squarepeg sales, its been a very very hectic day. Just some shots of the shop floor before the punters arrived at 10am…
With loads of new stock just arrived and getting new pieces back from restoration regularly I think you might always find something new on the floor at squarepeg!

…a leading figure in the Scandinavian design movement
Delicate. Elegant. And orderly (so very danish).
It’s the world of Danish furniture designer Ole Wanscher (1903 – 1985). We feel so lucky here at squarepeg home when we find some pieces by Ole Wanscher quite simply because they are regarded as such modern classics.
I love the simplicity of the chairs and table, matched with the long low credenza and high drinks cabinet.
The chairs we re-upholstered in a beautiful green kvadrat fabric…
It really is so delicate, so elegant, and so devine-ly orderly. So danish. Come and check it out at squarepeg.

Ever fallen in love with a chair?
Sometimes its just so hard not to fall in love. It’s impossible to turn time back. To ‘un-find’ it. To pretend you don’t really want it. 
And the part that is most heart-wrenching – it’s most probably a one-off. Once its gone, its gone. And then its a tragic love story. You are forever looking for it again.
But when you act on that love – when you buy it, own it, live with it and love it, then it becomes a great love affair. A love that you have chosen.

of Danish nightstands
A pair of vintage Danish nightstands in teak. $125 each. Very simple and elegant. And perfect for saving on space. Big enough for a glass of water and a book to rest on. And a single drawer for smaller items.

A new range of mid-century furniture at squarepeg home…
Some customers at squarepeg are purists. They love danish modern design and are collecting pieces that they fall in love with that melt their purist hearts. Others have more eclectic tastes – they might be searching for a quirky piece, a piece with a difference, with personality. The common ground for all these people is a love of something a little unusual, or special. This same desire draws us to hand select authentic vintage pieces. Attached are some pictures of our latest collection on the floor at squarepeg. We think we have something for both the purists and the eclectic sorts out there!
A mahogany dining set in immaculate condition designed by Ole Wanscher. Its an extendable table with six matching dining chairs.
A rare shelving and desk system in rosewood designed by Omann Jun. Consisting of two separate book shelves (either side) and a central desk area that folds away, its in perfect condition.
Just in are two matching rosewood bedside tables (both with two drawers). Some things are hard to come by and then just don’t seem to hang around…including this vintage danish chair in original upholstery (it sold today).
Just back from restoration is this extendable dining table designed by Johannes Andersen in rosewood.
And lastly this mid-century storage system from the UK provides the perfect elegant answer for storage.
