Teak and Leather Sling Chair  

I don't know what the chair is but if you go to each photo on your 3rd party site and copy the HTML code on the right under "Share this photo" and then paste it here, the photos will show up in the thread. (Don't use this forum's "add photos" link at all once you get past the initial post in the thread, unless that function isn't working now.)

Thanks, Spanky.

Does anyone have experience working with/repairing leather? I think some of the issues with this chair could be solved with some sewing but I'm not sure about the holes.

Because you’ve all been on the edge of your seat since 2017....here’s this mystery solved! Thanks to a pal who found a couple with original boxes. 

Woolworth!? holy cow (pun intended)        

are you too young to remember Woolworth Ponyboy? 

@LCA Woolworth, so strange! 

I grew up on the states and I think I remember going to Woolworth. If there was a deal to be had my dad was going for it 😆

When you think Brazilian leather sling chairs, you naturally think Woolworth's.  I'd never heard of Teperman but found this summary from a Brazilian dealer on 1stDibs: 

Teperman is one of the oldest Brazilian furniture companies inaugurated in mid-1912. In fact, it was a pioneer in the production of quality pieces at a time when demand was supplied by the importation of Europe or the production by cabinetmakers. In addition, in the first three decades of operation, Teperman exclusively served the residential and hotel market. From the 1940s onwards, it also provided furniture for offices, banks and public offices. Afterwards and especially in the 1950s, the company reoriented its product line due to the construction of Brasilia and the consequent demand for furniture in line with the principles of modernist architecture. At the time, there was a significant investment in design, in addition to the hiring of architects such as Jacob Ruchti to develop new projects. Also, from 1960, they began the production of furniture in a licensed way, through the products of Herman Miller. Already in the decade of 1990 passed to reissued furniture of designers like John Graz, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchim and Ray and Charles Eames.

@mark737. Thanks for sharing . Always interesting to get some background/ historical references.

We had 2 Woolworths stores in Dublin . ( 1st shop opened 1914; company closed all shops in the Republic of Ireland, in 1983).... memories 😌 and making me feel old (er)!!

@lexi  I'm old enough to remember Woolworths being in most US cities.  The last one I patronized regularly was in Alameda (just outside San Francisco) in the mid 90's.  It still had a lunch counter at that time but I don't recall the Brazilian furniture department.  The last of the US stores closed in 1997.   I also remember visiting London in the early 80's, seeing a Woolworths  and thinking, why?
