8 Danish Dining Room Chairs by Erik Christensen

8 Erik Christensen Slagelse Mobelvaerk Fabrik Chairs

The wonderful thing about this biz is we always take every opportunity to make it a learning experience. Over the years we've learned:

A. The many types of woods used to create the pieces. Mahogany, Rosewood, Fruitwood, Walnut, Oak, Teak...

B. How the piece was treated over the years by its original owners. E.g., was the piece always by the window catching sun rays? Did the O.O. use oils or varnishes on the pieces? Have the pieces been properly repaired/restored if broken? Or was it a DIY project?

C. What was the vintage manufacturer's budget when creating these stellar works of art? Yes some manufacturer's had more money than others, & they were mass produced--& that's okay, but some lack quality & some companies made up for a low production budget with a good design!

Well I'm here to tell you folks, this is not one of them. These chairs are SOLID TEAK & hands down individual works of art. Can you imagine what SOLID TEAK would cost today if you wanted to replicate just one chair? Pardon me, I don't wish to speak of money, I just want to make my point clear. Nothings made of SOLID ANYTHING today!!

My hubby Ty McDaniel pointed out, the arm & hip of the chair is in the shape of a "Boomerang." Hence the nickname--"Boomerang chair." We usually source our pieces from D.C. & Ohio, but when these came available, we hit the road, along with a hand full of other dealers & travelled a great distance to acquire them! Why? Because these chairs are individual works of art. And to have a set of 8 is almost unheard of. Oh & BTW, its rumoured Erik Christensen only made these chairs for 3 years. So you won't find them at Design Within Reach, or any of the big box stores that make "licensed reproductions." No judgement! I'm just saying.

And who is this ERIK CHRISTENSEN genius person? A hard working designer turned manufacturer of the Slagelse furniture company! No small feat apparently...

These 8 classic Scandinavian, signed & Denmark control sealed, Solid TEAK chairs are available now only at AOM! Go ahead, Modernists, pull ahead of the pack. True Mad Men/Women--you won't see these stunners anywhere, but

Dux Sofa by Folke Ohlsson @ An Orange Moon

Dux was a San Francisco based company started by Swedish designer Folke Ohlsson in the late 1950s. Dux furniture is usually referred to as Danish Modern or Scandinavian Modern, and this Dux sofa is an uber barometer of stellar design! What do you think about the Tiffany Blue Boucle (pronounced Boo-clay) Yeah, right??!!

Design Stars, this sweetheart measures approximately 8ft and has been totally redone by our personal upholsterer. Today it is in house, on our showroom floor, waiting to be wisked away to your uber hip space!

Let me be clear about the process. This vintage sofa/couch was stripped done to the frame & brought back up with all NEW hand-picked & sourced materials. Are you ready to make your design mark? Call Lynne @ 312.450.9821 with questions regarding shipping, delivery or design assistance.

An Orange Moon Uber Hip Vintage Furniture & Design

After announcing to her husband, Ty, in 2009 that she’d quit her teaching job to follow her passion for salvaging vintage furniture, Lynne McDaniel, owner of An Orange Moon, was a little nervous. Much to her surprise, Ty, enthusiastically shouted, “Do it!” A little over three years later, and after moving locations from the South Side to a much larger space in Bucktown, business is thriving. “In today’s lingo, sustainability means ‘keep it moving,’” asserts Ms. McDaniel. “If you really think about it, we’re affected on many levels by consumerism. An Orange Moon sustains by keeping our green promise through upcycling vintage furniture. Nowadays, if you want to help the planet, it’s imperative that you upcycle.” There’s always a beautiful display of handmade wood pieces. “Many of the woods used building vintage furniture are headed to the endangered species list, and we help by not only providing beauty and function, but by offering heirloom quality pieces.” The gorgeous new showroom is about to expand with its freshly curated English Garden outdoor space, where Ms. McDaniel will host “After Dark” events in the spring, summer and fall.
