Oooh nice
So is this the iconic interiors hull – black/rosewood
Yep, that’s the one. I didn’t go and view it, but got him to send me a load of pics. To be honest, the guy is a bit of an a-hole – the first pics showed damage to the veneer on the lower seat shell and he tried to fob me off saying it was “a natural product”.
I asked him to photograph a different one and he got a bit arsey saying it was a lot of hassle to unpack them. I politely pointed out that if he’d sent me a chair in that condition, he’d be coming to collect it which would have been a lot more hassle!
I looked at the Bluesuntree one, and they sent me photos, but I wasn’t as impressed. The leather looked very stiff and tightly buttoned, and the edges of the ply were very pale and didn’t look “right”.
This one is far and away the best repro I’ve seen, I can’t find any significant differences between it and the Vitra/HM version apart from the signature badge. It’s equally solid with just the right amount of flex in the back and no slop in the base mechanism.
Shame the seller was a bit of a tit, but worth putting up with for the quality of the piece.
