@herringbone from the text senderlier i understood the same I looked a bit into the family bovenkampamnd understood thet went to spain after the closing of the company and died there I looked a bit into their children and found some names but never tried to contact them if they indeed were their offspring Like you did with M&S
@wesemael That could be rewarding. I also looked into the Bovenkamp family and tried to contact somebode but without luck. I was hoping to get some material from their archive.

@Herringbone It’s been a real treat watching all of this unfold! We ended up keeping the chair after following all the info that was being discovered. Is it two iconic chairs (Oda/Clam) now that have been traced back to them? Great work/research by everyone involved!
Here’s the recliner in our current set up 😀
@ponyboy Yes, you`re right. And it's a good decision to keep it. A chair, that rewrote furniture history (in a way). 🙂

@lexi, @wesemael Now that I look at wesemaels latest ad again, I come to think: Could it be that this model 12 sofa is the same model that @freebird posted a couple of moths ago in this thread? It lacks the wooden paws but otherwise it’s pretty similar. What do you think?

@herringbone. Have been following all the recent revelations on IG, with regard to Madsen and Schubell. Exciting stuff.!
With that in mind, I am re-posting an image of an M& S advert that I posted on page 2 of this thread.
@leif-ericson might appreciate it given his interest in Arnold Madsen's taste in upholstery. 😏 Advert from 1954.

andthis one is freebird one https://www.catawiki.nl/l/35840385-bovenkamp-sofa-1
Thanks Lexi. This might be the only ad, Madsen and Schubell have ever placed. I wonder where it was.
I found the image on loppefund wordpress.com. They do not say where the advert is from unfortunately. The site is basically a Blog and I can't find an e-mail address.

@wesemael Did you find these on the internet or did you go into a real newspaper archive?
