- by Poul Kjærholm is now up for auction here in Denmark. I've read that several of the 20 chairs made were also painted cobalt blue and some sunflower yellow. Rare, rare, rare - I wonder what the final bid will be.

great website
MA, you have just given me another website to become addicted to. My poor husband will truly not be thanking you, but I am! I don't suppose any of those auction houses on that site export to the US, but their items are lovely to look at and it's informative to see what prices items bring in Europe.
By the way, the chair is delicious, but it looks a little cockeyed on one side, or is that just the photos?

Wow,
That does NOT look comfortable to sit in, nor does it look all that stable. No wonder they only made 20. I guess you can consider it art versus furniture, but I wouldn't be investing my discretionary income on it!

Hey Riki. Yeah, one of the legs is a bit off (but it's mentioned in the auction describtion).
A little hint: The link I've provided has the laungage set on English but if you change it to Danish/dansk, the number of auctions will increase by 10 times. It's the largest on-line auction house in Denmark and there are always lots of interesting things to buy or just look at.

Not to mention
the "Drop"-chair that is also up for auction at Lauritz.com. Nice chair - rare as hen's teeth

I think this chair has recently been reintroduced in a limited edition by NY dealer, R20th Century.
