Finally our new sofa has arrived, the Storm by Dutch manufacturer DYYK. The shop in The Hague Lasas & Loekov from which we bought this sofa named it Yellow Mellow, while the song was named Mellow Yellow

A huge painting or photo for above the sofa is on my whish list.

We had seen this Suite Sofa and liked it, but it appears out of production.

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:

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.

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!
