Airest Lounge Suite

SOLD: Airest Lounge Suite



I just got the squabs back from the upholsterer which was the last piece of the puzzle to finish this lovely Airest set off.  It came up from Wellington 3 weeks ago and got the full treatment.  The wood is back to it's glowing best after a being gently sanded back and finished off with Danish Oil.

Fred Lowen Fler SC55's

SOLD: Fred Lowen Fler SC55's


I have always had a little weakness for this design by F Lowen for Fler.  Made by Fler in Australia and on license to Broadhead bros in NZ.  The sculptural frames are instantly recognisable and have remained an iconic sought after design from the these masters of Antipodean mid century design.

70's Tubular sling Lounge Chairs

SOLD: 70's Tubular Sling Lounge Chairs




All done and back to looking great.  The covers came together well and this pair are ready for their new home. Ridiculously comfortable and super 70's.  I would have loved to re-chrome them, if they don't sell and I keep them I will definitely consider re-chroming them in the future. ab pair of chairs.. the only risk is that you sit down to read a book in the sunshine and wake up 2 hours later.

Love these rocket chairs, solid mahogany with a cheeky style that is just so appealing. 

Parker Furniture low-back chair & footstool

SOLD: Parker Furniture low-back chair & footstool


I've had this lovely little Parker low-back for a while, always hoping that another single would come along to make the pair.  Time has come though as room is scarce.

Back to work.

Back to work - the comings and goings in the workshop.

After a lovely R&D session during July, August takes me back to the masters.  I have almost completed a lovely little Parker furniture low back lounge chair.  I have a full Danske Møbler set in the works. The 70's Tubular sling Lounge Chairs are coming along nicely and I am on the lookout for some new pieces. Thrilled with how the R&D went & it is nice to be back restoring the pieces that inspire me.
