Ok, just looked a bunch of AJ series 7 Chairs earlier and they where a little beat-up but only 10 bucks each. I thought for sure they must be cheap knock-offs but they felt really solid and well made, but then I found a label on one that said they where by ICF?
Never heard of them until I quickly googled and found this...
"ICF Founded in 1962, ICF was the first company to distribute furniture designed by international architects to the U.S. market. This began with the work of Alvar Aalto in the 60's, continued with Arne Jacobsen's Seven chair in the 70's, expanded to Italian and Spanish designs in the 80's, and became truly international as it commissioned American designers to develop proprietary product in the 90's. Today ICF maintains its strong legacy in Scandanavian rationality and continues to pride itself in being the cultural broker between some of the best manufacturers of contract furniture in the world and the US interior designer community".
My question is should I rush back there in the morning and pick-up a set?I think they had 20-30 chairs total.
Thanks fo your input!
Does anyone want any? I could p/u and throw them on the bus for you.
ICF
ICF is the American distributor for Fritz Hansen, Artek, and Thonet, among others. It's not surprising that a group of 3107s would have ICF stickers.
And $10 is a killer deal, even for the basic chair with some dings and scrapes. If you like those chairs, you're unlikely to find a better price.

decided to pass on them.
The one that had stickers said they where made by IFC in Canada. Not sure if a knock-off or licensed production...Still a good deal I guess? http://www.diggerslist.com/sale/furniture/High-Quality-Wooden-Stacking-C...
