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.

AA1 Sofa Bed by Alvar Aalto for Misura Emme

It happens that I’m surfing the internet and find something I would like to feature here on the blog and I make a note or put something somewhere on my computer and forget about it. All of a sudden and sometimes eons later I can refind it on a place I would not reckognize as some place to put down items for future posts on Chair Blog. So I found Misura Emma. It exists already since 1902 and seems having collaborated in the 1930ies already with Alvar Aalto to produce this wonderful sofa bed. Would love to have it, but pff expensive somewhere in the € 7,000 nds.
