They are available for $546.00 each (regular $900) from Advanced Interior Designs: http://stores.advancedinteriordesigns.c ... Detail.bok
(There is also a matching stainless steel coffee table that is 10 inches wider, but the pictures make it look like they used the narrower benches.)
Here's a picture of Mick's coffee table, for reference:
ETA: Advanced Interior Designs also has Mick's Bertoia side chairs on sale, for $140.00!

I've got to say, I'm glad Mick's decor isn't such a violent shade of yellow! 
Yes I was thinking the same thing lol! It's bright enough to give a vampire sunburn!allegrita wrote:I've got to say, I'm glad Mick's decor isn't such a violent shade of yellow!
I actually got a quote to build a 7' x 7' Mick bookcase in my apartment and it came out to CDN $4000 for melamine or CDN $7000 for mahogany.Shadow wrote:Thanks so much for these wonderful pictures! I'm still determined to build myself a Mick bookshelf one day; it's my absolute favorite of the FoS furnishings.
I still want to get it one day, but I decided it will be the last major piece for my apartment not the first! I'm definitely planning to drop by there when I visit LA in a few weeks.allegrita wrote:It would be fun to go check that library out.
Alternatively, you could say it is vamp-friendly -- they can enjoy brightness of the sun without being in the sun.diane31 wrote:It's bright enough to give a vampire sunburn!
It's really uncanny how much Mick's loft reflects this room -- not only in the bookcase and the reading chair, but also in the the very straight, modern lines of the sofa. Mick's had much wider armrests, but it definitely has the same feeling as well. 
The wine storage cube are an interesting option. The only problem is that you end up with split "diamonds" where one cube ends and another would start...I love the bookcase and want to buy or make one for my new library. Any suggestions?
Of course, Mick's bookcase is custom built. It was designed by our production designer Alfred Sole and is (as most of Mick's place) a defining part of the set.
If I may make one suggestion. I don't know what size most of your books are, but I would take an average and tallest measurement of your books. The squares in Mick's bookcase were built at 16 inches.
This requires a large size (table or art) book to fill it properly, which became one of our biggest challenges given our time frame and budget.
As far as purchasing something like Mick's bookcase I think it would be difficult to come by.
Depending on your budget and resources I would try to find a carpenter or cabinet maker to handle the project.
For a lower budget perhaps some modular wine storage cubes would give you a similar effect.
As someone who refuses to "get rid of" her old albums, I know how perfect this bookcase would be. I lived next door to a used record shop for a few years, so I have a rather large record collection (a couple of thousand albums at one time - I've since pared down a bit). Due to the size and weight of record albums, it took me forever to find decent shelving for my record collection. I ended up having to special order something from the "Musician's Friend" Website. ). I too am hoping to someday add something 'diamond' to one of my rooms. (Although right now I'm refraining from any additions since I'm still hoping - more than ever after the recent nightmare with the neighbor - to buy a single-family house in the nice, quiet, 'suburban' neighborhood out by the ocean. Alas the techies have thrust us into another housing bubble - current median price is $1 million - so I'll have to wait a few years 'til prices come back down from the stratosphere.) 
Grumble, grumble, grumble. What a great thought, HM!HotMicks wrote:And I don't know why this thought never occurred to me when I first read that interview, but regarding the 16" openings, given Mick's former occupation I'm surprised they didn't fill them with some 'old-school' record albums.
And what a missed opportunity for them. On the other hand, I don't know if the thin edges of record albums would've have had the same visual "pop" as the large books. Still, it fits so much better with who Mick is.
