Lovers of eye-catching items in 60s design know it, at least in Switzerland, at least when they hang around brocantes or flea markets … the Rössler porcelain, cups, plates, jugs in the colours green, yellow and blue. Tableware from the lowest edge of the Emmental, from Ersigen, probably also in the lower price segment at the time. Today not necessarily at all. I am currently offering the items on the platform tutti.ch. click here and scroll down

Update December 2020
Still alive, or even more … Here are a few pieces of furniture that I have listed today. You can find them further down on this page or by clicking on the pictures. 
Cantilever Chairs 40s by Bigla
Teak Sideboard Arne Hovmand-Olsen
Set of 2 Cantilever Chairs Bigla Bauhaus 40s 50s
Extremely rare and very good condition, not to say great. The cantilever chairs are not marked but I have found one exactly the same, marked Bigla with the year 1949. Lacquered plywood, chrome steel frame. Midcentury, design classic, Bauhaus. Measurements on request, I don’t have the chairs here.

Teak Sideboard Arne Hovmand-Olsen für Mogens Kold 1960s
Great Danish teak chest of drawers in very good used condition. Measurements follow, width estimated just under 1 metre. Price CHF 940
Arne Hovmand-Olsen was born in 1919 in Denmark into a farming family. He quickly developed an interest in drawing and design. He began his career in 1938 with an apprenticeship as a furniture maker. He was determined to make his own creation. He decided to study at a technical school for furniture design. After completing his training, he set up his own workshop. He quickly had great success: he sold in Denmark, but mainly in the United States! His workshop was closed in the 1970s.
Update Mai 2020
Dear amateurs of vintage model cars and antique toys
Regarding my friend’s collection, see below, I recently put his cars back on Ricardo (Swiss online platform), but in the future I will make offers especially here. It’s unbelievable what has been tinkered with on this platform the last few years. In the sense of “Ricardo becomes new”, but in fact everything is getting worse. I could give you x examples. Already the product search (there is no more reliable text search!) or on Sundays and there especially in the evening there can betimeouts (i.e. the platform is 100% down), at Ricardo nobody notices anything for almost an hour. Cats are the most stressed, they serve as decoration for error messages. Ricardo doesn’t refund anything, but offers a “Platinum Boost” for 100 francs, which is meant to advertise the offers, even if you sell items for 30 francs on average … (…) my goodness. Don’t worry – “everything becomes new”.
Je vais publier des articles avec des groupes d’autos. Cela signifie des groupes modèles, on peut me faire des offres pour une ou plusieurs autos, je peux donner des idées de prix, à la fin on verra si et où on se met d’accord, comme sur une bourse, toujours mon instrument de vente préféré. Je vais proposer quelques groupes de modèles comme ensemble (prix pour tous) pour le moment et je ne les démonterai que plus tard si nécessaire.
En ce qui concerne Ricardo je dois simplement dire que les prix, surtout pour les modèles de qualité supérieure, ne reflètent pas le marché. Pas quand une parfaite Peugeot 504 cabriolet avec boîte de Dinky Toys se vend pour 61 francs. 🙂 D’autre part, des prix supérieurs à la moyenne peuvent parfois être atteints pour des modèles en état de jeu.
En général, les prix ont baissé, mais jamais autant que ce que beaucoup de gens pensent. En Suisse, le marché online des modèles diecast est petit et non représentatif. Je le sais parce que je connais très bien le marché international et parce que je vends aussi à l’étranger. Je connais très bien les prix sur les bourses. Je suis aussi coopératif que possible en ce qui concerne les prix.

Auction in England at Vectis – 15. / 16.01.2020
In Switzerland you will find many great things if you keep your eyes open. All these toys I have found here in the last 12 years, with one exception. One of them belongs to a friend of mine. Sometimes it is better to sell them on the international market, because the market and demand in Switzerland is too small or you have to wait a very long time for the right customer to arrive. Selling under price will always work, but not with me and not with such things. Frankly, the always well-organized and functioning Swiss platform, whose name has just fallen from my memory, is a necessary evil when things have to be sold in a timely manner. The market, especially for high-priced items, is too small in Switzerland. Although the pound is at an underground level, I have decided to bring these items to England. The English are the only ones who are still really “crazy” – fortunately – they appreciate the heritage, especially concerning diecast, Dinky Toys etcetera.
Most of these items I didn’t buy speculatively, they were more or less part of my collection for quite some time. The volume / space ratio is simply getting out of balance, therefore you have to be able to separate sometimes, especially when new stuff ist still coming, too. I am still primarily a passionate and secondly a trader. > Gallery:
