Beautiful chair, wonderful setting.

mdf, it’s obvious you are not a novice, although a novice to this site – welcome.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Great chair! What type and thickness of plywood did you use? It looks very comfortable.

Very well done. It looks alot like the Barcelona chair, I can’t remember who or when it was made. But it is really nicely done.

MDF: what a great simple clean design! I love it! What finish did you use (if any)? The color stayed so clear.

Kaleo: It was Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 World’s Fair in Barcelona. And I agree, a great (unintentional?) reinterpretation of a classic.

Kaleo and FritzM – you are right the chair does have some of the same lines, however I think my chair is closer to Hans Wegner’s folding chair from 1949. He may have been inspired by Mies Van der Rohe?. There is not much new under the sun!

The chair never got a finish. It was a prototype made out of basic plywood. The new “version” is made from red oak and the seat and back is weaved with Danish Cord.

mdf: I hadn’t seen Wegner’s folding chair until you mentioned it…. beautiful! I really like your interpretation of it. Yours in some way is a more modern (meaning of today’s) style….. I think it’s the shape of the arm rests and their position on the chair and the lack of stays connecting the seat to the back under the chair. Yours has a more CNC “flat-pack” look which I really like.

Very nice design. It looks very inviting.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Great job!
