Danish Modern lounge chair

Danish Modern teak lounge chair
I redid this Danish Modern teak lounge chair a couple of years ago. The original upholstery was a striped acrylic in 60s beige & brown and was quite pilly and dirty. The latex foam padding was dry and crunchy due … Continue reading

Hans Wegner CH23 chairs
My friends at Home Anthology asked me to take on two of these CH23 chairs by Danish designer Hans Wegner. I had already done one for myself and was happy to restore these two. Someone had redone the seats … Continue reading
