for the love of chairs

pics when it's upholstered westie.

How did your chairs end up keltoi, they been destroyed yet? If not, get a cat or dog, that should finish them off. (don't get a dog)

the chairs are fine. we had to have our carpets pro-cleaned though. piss everywhere. hate cats and although i like dogs i ain't picking up no dog faeces daily, thank you very much.

Yeah, that whole being a sewer management system for a dog seems quite odd to me. I mean i'm glad now that when on walks with their dogs here it has become the done thing to carry a bag so that you can pick up the dog leavings, because once upon a time walking the footpaths of the suburban surrounds to our major cities was a dicey thing if you weren't looking where you were treading. But still the concept of having your dog dump halfway through a pleasant after work meander and then having to carry the artefacts of it's digestive tract for the remainder of the journey, strikes me as a rather dire. And then there's the expectation looming that no matter how hard you try to avoid it, that one day you'll find yourself in your own garden, within the confines of the the fortress of that is your home, depressing your shoe into a fly ridden, maggot infested chunky slice of gastrointestinal ooze, a little day wrecking time bomb nonchalantly left there by your pet. These people must be nuts. heh.

ever do anything with those chairs jules?

lol I emailed that dude today about that!

i'm thinking about this chair.

i picked up a nice bent ply, old school chair lying in the street. might post pic later. it's much like this but much better patina...

nothing fancy but will do nicely for my garage/workshop.

After much deliberation I decided against reupholstering. I came to the conclusion that the fabric IS the chair.

Like your school chairs, I vaguely remember similar chairs at my old comprehensive school. They look a bit Bauhaus.

bamco school chair. rough around the edges but free and only for the garage.

Bought this smooth motherfucker a couple of weeks ago.

woah that needs to be next to raging open fire.

I like the side table/flower arrangement you've got going on there, very tasteful.

Ha yeah, not my house. The Chesterfield's going to go in a study in my new house (moving in a month). Gonna pair it with an old bureau (antique typewriter on top) and build a wall-length bookshelf.

Just picked this up from the charity shop for £20. It's so comfortable, it's got a nice rocking action too. Going to reupholster it with a mustard coloured fabric I think.

 

Bump. My mother-in-law finally got around to reupholstering it >>>

my great-grandparents have these in their house. and not cheap knock-offs. like the original knoll saarinen chairs.

 

so my great-grandparents have now moved on to a higher plane, but fortunately their chairs have not. Now I didn't get to snag these bad boys, but I did get some major chair scores, will post later.

awesome! 

edit: not awesome about your greats though...

it happens they were both over 90.

can't find the chair pics atm, but here's a table I made out of two doors that weren't being used. looks nice but it's fucking heavy as hell

Decent. I too am on the hunt for dining chairs. No luck so far.

this is my chair

Lots of nice chairs here for sure. I can offer this more arty alternative

I really like this chair

Thanks Worlds
