Nathan Dining Suite

SOLD: Nathan dining suite

Just had this suite delivered.  It is in near perfect original condition.  Just beautiful.  Designed in the 60's it has been beautifully made and has obviously had a very careful owner.  I love the tuck under chairs which creates such a clean finish that it takes up little visual space.

After having to take time out I was finally able to get back to work.  This lovely lightform suite was first on the list, I just couldn't resist it any longer.

Furniture porn by Sculda.

There is a slight hiatus on the furniture front while life occurs (knee high in concrete and mortar at the moment).  Some things break through the distraction regardless.  Without fail it will be items master-crafted by Sculda.  For any of you that are interested in pieces from Fler furniture, or Fred Lowen; indeed anyone interested in furniture porn... enjoy...

Parker Knoll Style Armchairs.

Headed off to Hamilton last week to pick up this super cute pair of little fireside armchairs.  Once I got them back here I let them sit for a couple of days contemplating what to do... restore the wood, change the covers, etc etc.  In the end after spending time with them I decided they were so super cute as they were.

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.
