We had seen this Suite Sofa and liked it, but it appears out of production.
H C Andersen Wingchair by Henrik Ingemann Nielsen & Alexander H Damsbo
From time to time my poor Chairblog doesn’t get any attention from me. I leave it floating on its own. Poor blog. And then a new Januari is on the horizon and again I think: “Shall I (re)start with daily posts as I did in 2023 and 2024?”
Then I find the following message from September 6, 2012 in a newly discovered pile of messages:
Hello Guido J. van den Elshout !
I am a furniture maker from Copenhagen. I love chairs !. Thank you for your fantastic Chair Blog (and archives !).
Henrik Ingemann Nielsen, architect
It’s a bit stoopid. Only this month I discovered a whole archive of forms that people dutifully submitted and which I have never seen or looked at before.
Among it a message from Henrik Ingemann Nielsen, an architect from Copenhagen that today I see for the first time. The website he mentions (modelhotel.dk) doesn’t operate anymore, but in Googling his name I found a link to Bukowski which features this chair that he apparently designed together with Alexander H Damsbo.
He has a presence on linked in, but never posted there.
There are more compliments in those posts. There are more than 500. There is a pile of new inspiration for posts in the near future.
I feature Henrik’s message here because I like a pat on my back from time to time. I have some followers who get an e-mail when I post here and I have some followers on my weekly newsletter that is automatically sent weekly when I post here. A goal I didn’t reach in al those years of blogging is people who react here in the blog to posts. Only an occasional reaction.
An interesting feature of the H C Andersen Wingchair is it can fold into a sort of side table:
Aviva de Luxe by Baan
Baan is a manufacturer of very good quality – made in Holland – chairs and couches, benches and sofa’s in Waddinxveen, the Netherlands. Recently I disposed of a wingchair they made more than 40 years ago to my measures (I used to be 6 foot 4). I believe I don’t even have a proper photo of the chair. I’ve never featured it here which is a shame. We had it re upholstered two times.
These days I’m considering to buy a new sofa. Maybe Baan’s Aviva is an idea.
WM 1 Armchair by Werner Max Moser
It seems this chair is still or again in production. By Misura Emma in Italy. Moreover, since 2002 Swiss EMBRU produces it as well. I love it!
