Neat chair
I would like it in leather.

silverline chair
thank you guys so much for the info on the france & son chair. though it's not visible in the picture, there's unfortunately some significant structural damage on the underside of one of the legs which the previous owner tried to fix (with screws). The bad news is that the fix looks like shit, but it's stable and not really visible.
I've got a couple young kids, so I'm going with a durable knoll fabric until the kiddos get a bit older.

Knoll has some beautiful fabrics but a lot of their most durable ones are also very synthetic in looks and feel. Personally, I'd go with Hallingdal by Kvadrat/Maharam. It's been in production since the 60s and a lot of fine Danish furniture was upholstered with it back then and since. It has a wear rating of 100,000+ (very, very durable).
The good news is that you can find remnants online for less than the wholesale price. Modern-Fabrics.com usually has some though you might want to run their listings by your upholsterer first to make sure he or she can get work out the layout. A lot of their listings are for a bunch of smaller lengths sold as one lot. Still, worth looking into.

I've often wondered why this chair is so scarce.
Could it be the design of the legs was its achilleas heal?
It looks fragile and perhaps not many examples survived. asd I would love to see an image of the underside of the chair if you ever get a chance.

I was admiring this...
I was admiring this Silverline coffee table and sofa today. I would guess the aluminum that is sandwiched between the teak would impart a degree of strength, so long as the pieces were not abused. It is easy to see the potential for some damage though.

This afternoon PlyCon...
This afternoon PlyCon delivered the Borge Mogensen 8 drawer dresser I bought a few weeks back. It matches the vanity dresser/desk we already have.

Hmm
Is that the same sofa as in the ad above?

Yes, I believe so.
Yes, I believe so.

Trick of the light?
It seems to me that the sofa in that ad is possibly slightly different? The base of that sofa doesn't appear to be parallel with the armrest, like it is on asd's sofa. It seems to me that the legs on the sofa in the ad are splayed...
Look at how the light hits the base of both the sofa and the table. The middle is in shadow, while the ends are all being exposed to light. Maybe it's just a trick of the light, but to me it looks like the legs are extending diagonally, not straight, from the center of the base (sorry, can't think of a better way to describe it...)...

This is another view of the...
This is another view of the same sofa.

Thanks!
Thanks!

I found a blue piece of pottery
marked Tandinate Made in Italy. It is in perfect shape. Reminds me of Bitossi. It was cheap, and I am easy.
