Do love the black vinyl chairs though. Kinda classy and practical.
Kudos to lovebrigade - its a great looking suite and they deserved the excellent price they got. The new owner should be very happy.

More Larsens than a Danish shipping company
Ok, turns out the tables below ARE from the man Otto himself. One even has his maker's stamp on it.
So what do you do with two identical 1350mm Otto Larsen pedestal tables? You go looking for suitable chairs of course. And in Kaukapakapa we found the answer to a danish prayer.
A real nice couple up there were keeping a waaaay cool Otto L rectangular extender table, but selling the trademark chairs - six of! Done deal - you couldn't hold me back.
Now, the lower Kaipara Harbour has to be a happy hunting ground 'cos we were up there a few weeks back on a collection round. Parakai as it happens. On the way home we picked up some FUGLY chairs. OMG. Shoot the dog.
Got them home and left them outside for three weeks - that bad. They refused to rot away, so this week I stripped the buttoned vinyl upholstery off one of them.
Surprise surprise... Sapele mahogany frame with a Jorganesque copy of a ladder back! Oh Joy!
Photos soonish. Look for the tables as a suite on Trade me over the next few weeks or contact us directly if you are interested.
