Furniture

I have that exact chair from the same retailer and have used it as a WFH office chair for the last 12 months.
it's pretty decent and one of the better copies out there imo.
the arms are removable.
I put one in my basket and put my email and shipping details in but didn't buy straight away, then received an offer of free shipping a short while later (was £50)

::edit::
the base on mine looks slightly different to the one pictured. mine appears to be cast aluminium with a sort of brushed finish. perhaps they have changed supplier?

I have one of these in hopsack and I get on with it well, fixed feet and arms

Nice. Thanks for the tips. wondering if "leatherette" is a bad choice....

Talk to @coppiThat, he may still have connections in the used office furniture game... He got me my Humanscale, I brought it to Oz and my back is still very much enjoying it!

Ooh. Will do. Been down a Group Chair rabbit hole today.

Of course I could just ask this guy to fix my old chair.

hah! I might send my broken aeron to this guy. the gas cylinder died and it's stuck fast in the base.
I have actually tried whacking it with a mallet but maybe I didn't get rage enough on its punk ass.

I'm struggling to find a kitchen table I like. I think at the moment the best option has been to buy a plykea countertop faced with fenix and some metal legs which is about £900. If I had unlimited money I'd buy an extending Arne Jacobsen laminate one. Any ideas?

Now listed in the classifieds.

I like our table, follows a super cheap version of what you describe.
We bought a Melltorp underframe and a 25mm Baltic Birch top that I finished with milk paint, varnish and clear coats

Hey @mustardbeak that is lovely thing. I'd take it off your hands but I have no idea where we'd put it either. Any news on the moving date btw?

On the office chair; I've put cheeky offers on a couple of proper ICF Eames group chairs. Fingers crossed. And thanks again to @Dogtemple for hipping me to the ICF thing.

Yeah, bit gutted to get rid TBH but it won't go in the house, one of the downsides of moving from a massive open plan flat to a small terrace house.

I reckon we are a 2-3 weeks from exchanging, so hopefully moving around first week of August.

Dredge!

IIRC that’s a copy of an Eames 217.

They’re actually a good buy used. They don’t lose value so long as they’re not repaired.

That’s awesome. Glad to have imparted some knowledge. Look forward to see what you get.

Lovely!
Unfortunately it's difficult getting any decent G-Plan stuff 'ere in Germany.
You can't just put it against a wall instead of using as a divider? It'ld hurt me to have to sell that!

That's how we've currently used it, we have some other bits we really want to keep, and as a result this definitely won't fit unfortunately.

Christ, that picture pretty much sums up why we need to sell our flat and move to a house, we've reached peak stuff.

My Woods Ware collecting has got seriously out of hand.

I've also got a pair of these if there is any interest. They are a copy of the Harry Bertoia Knoll Wire Bar Stool. I'd like £100 for the pair.

We've covered them with a slightly more appropriate fabric, the fabric underneath is a deep purple.

continuing the theme of chairs on garden tables too which is fun...

Like that, can the vertical side panels be detached for transport or is it glued?

I was looking at it earlier trying to see if it would come apart, but I think the middle section shelf is glued unfortunately

That’s awesome, nice choice. My office chair is the same as that just with a higher back. Used nearly everyday for work. They’re just so much better than a copy, hope you enjoy it.

Cheers dude!

really nice. looks in great condition as well.
