Rudi Schwarz Dining Suite

SOLD:  Rudi Schwarz Dining Suite

The set is all done and looks fantastic.  Now that it's done what I'm really enjoying is the subtle play of all the angles working together.  It's only now that I have the chairs set round the table that the nuances of this suite become mesmerizing . I always thought of this as such a straight line piece but now all the angles come to play.

Pair of MC Club chairs

SOLD : Pair of MC Club chairs 

 

I decided to revisit this pair, as I was totally in love but hating the area of fill on one of the arms which was way to dark.  I decided to remove it and inspect the underlying damage to see if that was less distracting than the dark fill.  In the end though I decided to color-match some new fill.  It had done exactly as I hope.   It's doesn't take away the fact that there is damage there but it does soften it on the eye. 

Backhouse Coffee Table

SOLD: Large Backhouse Coffee Table

 

The large 1.5m Backhouse table is one of my favorite NZ MC coffee tables and the same version as the one I have in my personal collection. I'm sitting at it as I type.  The proportions of this table make it perfect as real work horse, not just a very pretty face.  There are others that I drool over a touch more as far as pure aesthetics go, like my Jon Jansen cloud table, but for looks and all round sturdy usability this one takes the prize everytime.  Form and function, it's what its all about. 

Fler Dining Suite

SOLD:Fler seven piece dining suite.

The suite is looking fantastic.  I love the shape of these chairs, I think they are probably my favorite dining chair of Flers.  They have a simpler fabric on now, and that allows the delicate shaping of the ladder backs to take the limelight. Lovin' it.

70's rockers

SOLD: 70's rockers.

I popped off the legs and stripped them back by hand.  The curves were lovely to work with and look fantastic with their rich tones once again on full display.  I decided to stay with the lighter tones for the fabric to contrast against the wood. 

Stylish Office Chair

SOLD: Stylish office chair

The frame came up beautifully and with some new clothes this little beauty is ready to go.  I changed out a broken spring and gave the mechanism some light grease.  I decided on a pale olive tight weave fabric to contrast against the rich mahogany tones. 

Don Lounge Suite

Coming Up:Don Lounge Suite

Every time I get to work with one one of these (which is not very often) it's a good week.  I love this design from Don furniture.  I still have my one and nothing I have found since has impressed me enough to move them on.  Can't wait to get started.
