Hello, to better introduce myself I decided to share some of the items I have in my collection.

These include lamps from Louis Poulsen, Fog & Mörup, Doria, etc, and some furniture (like the Knoll tulip chairs I want to recover). I specially like pendant lampshades and chairs, but I have some bits of other stuff as well like Stelton ashtray designed by Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto vase for Iitala, coffe jar designed by Aldo Rossi for Alessi, some Orrefors glassware, etc etc.

Here are some photos I uploaded of some of my items (see link below).

On this album you can see a set of 4 chairs that I bought that have the THONET label on the underside of the seats (can't find the model information but I like them anyway); the 4 Semi lamps from Fog & Mörup designed by Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup (25cm, 2 x 60cm and 70cm diameters); a set of brass wall sconces by Doria and my latest restoration project, a PH Contrast Lamp.

I have the main lampshade of this fabulous pendant lamp, but I'm missing the bottom detacheable part (that allows to access the light socket inside to switch light bulbs). But I like it anyway and want to recover it. Already contacted Louis Poulsen for the best way to do this, so I can't wait to start.

Best regards and if you also want to share some of your items that would be great as well to keep brand names and designer names flowing around.

Kevin

Thanks
Thank you.
I had no clue what they were when I purchased them. I only found the label when I removed the seat pad cover (which was obviously a post addition to the chair and I wanted to have a look at the original fabric beneath). I was quite surprised to discover it was produced by Thonet. Never seen these before either.
Best regards
Kevin
