	RE: Teak Recliner (Moved from Last thing Acquired)	1 Relevance	7 years ago	lexi	Identification
	@Ponyboy While doing research on your chair I found this sold listing on Lauritz. https://www.lauritz.com/en/auction/madsen-schubell-a-seating-suite-4/i4815425/# Very different from the other Madsen and Schubell designs but as you can see includes a coffee table as part of the set. Lexi.

	Me again; (seriously!the editing window is very short) I have found a few closed auctions for chairs attributed to Madsen and Schubell. They have the same patent number, as on Ponyboy's chair, on the tilt mechanism and one also has the "Made in Denmark by MS label sewn into the upholstery. Reposting image from other thread of label. In the meantime, I have fired off a couple of e-mails to a number of websites/bloggers who might be able to give more info; will let you know if I get replies. Lexi. Attachment: MS-DA-LABEL.jpg

	first let me appologize for giving to much trust to the dealer and theqwriter of the article i mentioned and added second i found a article march 1962 in a respecred newspaper "trouw" ( 1 of te 4 big/large newspapers in the netherlands)wich supports the findings of Heringbone the article tells about the new line off Bovenkamp "Dansk Still Mobler" (i added a link before with foto's of the catalogue) and thet article mentions the names of the designers: " Arnold Madsen en Henry Schubell" https://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?query=bovenkamp+madsen&coll=ddd&page=2&identifier=ABCDDD%3A010815030%3Ampeg21%3Aa0199&resultsidentifier=ABCDDD%3A010815030%3Ampeg21%3Aa0199 maarten

	Nice find, wesemael! I already have a confirmation, that the chair in question is a Madsen and Schubell design, although the upholstery "does not seem original or correct". I will get the whole story in june. But I really wonder where the heck those wrong first names come from. And I bet that there is much more misinformation about other designers around. Maybe we should start a research program and systematically check the backgrounds of the lesser known designers and companies.

	@herringbone my point is not that i was trying to make clear the was bovenkamp as i (and others) already did if you read back the whole tread i was trying to help solve Leif's puzzle who is MS I think however that the chairs were produced by bovenkamp in tehe netherlands but also in denmark given teh alreay shown catalogue's
	RE: Teak Recliner (Moved from Last thing Acquired)	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Herringbone	Identification
	Oh yeah, I got that 🙂 I just wanted to confirm what I could from first hand information.

	Serious sleuthing! This is/was why DA forums kill all the rest. People that give a shit about getting it right! I wish the forum would have come back to life before I had it reupholstered....original would have been ideal. Unfortunately only had what was on the chair (previously reupholstered-pictured is the 90’s monstrosity ) to work with. Attachment: 7F65904A-3A23-4CE4-8D3E-64903C6B4459.jpeg
	RE: Teak Recliner (Moved from Last thing Acquired)	1 Relevance	7 years ago	lexi	Identification
	@ponyboy OMG... that upholstery brings back memories/nightmares of fabric hunting for curtains back then !! IMHO the fabric and color you currently have on the chair is just lovely. Lexi.

	@ ponyboy - You did a great job. And thanks for posting this photo. It‘s ... hillarious.
	RE: Teak Recliner (Moved from Last thing Acquired)	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Ponyboy	Identification
	To be clear, I didn’t do the actual upholstery job. I wish I had those skills! I chose the fabric though (kvadrat Tonica) so I’ll take the credit there 😆

	By the way: I like what happens when you enter „Schubell“ in the furniture index. You get four chairs, supposedly designed by Verner Madsen, Johan Madsen, Ib Madsen and Bjarne Madsen. Schubells name is given as either Hans Thyge, Acton or Boris. I get the feeling someone was making a joke here and nobody got it.
	RE: Teak Recliner (Moved from Last thing Acquired)	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Ponyboy	Identification
	@Herringbone Hi! You mentioned you’d get the whole story in June, just curious if you got any more information 😀 The chair which was originally going to be sold is now a permanent (unless something better comes along 😉) fixture in the living room.
	RE: Teak Recliner (Moved from Last thing Acquired)	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Herringbone	Identification
	I guess we all have to wait another few weeks for the story. My inquiry seems to have inspired Mr. Schubell to do a complete documentation of his fathers whole body of work. I sent him another E-mail about a week ago, because I had not heard anything from him. He wrote back that he had not fortotten me and that he was almost done with the danish version. As soon as that would be finished, he would translate it into English. He assured me that I would be among the first ones to get it. So I'll stay patient :). I'll let you all know as soon as I have something.

	That sounds like just about the best outcome that could have come out of this! Very interested in seeing the translated information, thanks!
