Hi folks,
got a rocking a chair, which I would dedicate to the Tapiovaara family, since it has these long curved runners or skids.
Probably from ASKO. I had some black rockers in the past, from similar style.
Are there any experts on Tapiovaara? I am looking for the designer of that chair.
Any help would be appreciated.
@browkin. I searched through the Asko website and found a rocking chair by Olli Borg that looks very like yours.Posting an image and link from that site. You can compare the measurements to your chair.

@lexi, By George, you've done it again!
Interesting that the predictably awkward position of the front stretcher shown in the axonometric drawing seems to have been modified in the front elevation (which one would assume was drawn first).
@tktoo2. Golly gumdrops; I had to look up axonometric. If that comes up in a crossword puzzle I will impress everyone. 🤓

@lexi, Consider it payback for tormenting me with descriptions of bucolic villages in Ireland (which tops my list of possible future travel destinations but, unfortunately, ranks a second to Bourgogne in my better half's opinion). We'll have to pretend to negotiate that if or when the world ever sorts itself out.
Full disclosure: I had to look it up, too. I almost typed 'isometric'.
P.S. I much prefer old-fashion hand drawings as they often reveal evidence of the designer's process of working out details. Something entirely lost in digitally-produced renderings.
@tktoo2. Needless to say but I would swap most little villages in Ireland for almost anywhere in France.
Hubby and I did a motor bike trip through the Loire and Bordeaux regions in 2004, with wine tasting/drinking (me ) and food in the evenings. A friend of ours, who dabbled in wine imports and is big into motor bikes, had an idea to organize group ( bike) motoring tours to France. We enthusiastically volunteered to be part of the advance party: planning routes, places to stay , visiting wineries and of course lovely food and WINE along the way . As the pillion passenger I could do a little more of the imbibing. 🤪
Fun memories.

@lexi, Fun memories indeed!
I recognize the three ladies here (expression of the older offspring *lol*) taken September, 2019.
Do you recognize the place?
@tktoo2. You might have to narrow it down for me. Which town /city would be a start. Lots of Pubs have stained glass features .
My offspring ( all ladies too) are past the scowling face phase. If memory serves, I was pretty good myself, in the day, with the " why am I here with my parents doing the embarassing tourist thing ? " look of disdain.

@lexi, Photos of me at that age are frighteningly similar - the hair, air of general disdain, etc (except I'd have had a cigarette dangling from my lips) so it's not a gender thing.
Dublin pub, though not in your neighborhood. Within staggering distance of the Morgan Hotel ...if memory serves. Likely recommended in one of Rick Steves' travel guides.
tk, while it is tough to tell with a chair of various angles and curves, I think your initial thought of that drawing being an isometric is technically correct. An axonometric is a drawing where all three axis have true dimensions. For architecture, you would take a plan, usually rotate it 30, 45, or 60 degrees, then extend upwards with the scaled height of building components. It is a relic of the past of hand drawings, and is not a view that computerized modeling programs of today even offer.
Isometrics only have true dimensions in two axis, and look less distorted than axos. Isos were the standard view in CAD programs of the past, and BIM models (Revit) of the present. Although perspectives are used mostly in the industry these days as they provide the most natural-looking views for the human eye, and the software does all of the hard work in creating them.
