I’ve revisited my Japanese Source 64 Chairs once more and found the Hands Chair by Salvador Dali.
The working drawing for this design was made by Edward James according to a suggestion made by Salvador Dali in 1936.
The chair was produced specifically for James’ residence, West Dean.

Chair Blog’s second weekly e-mail newsletter has landed in several e-mail boxes this morning.
Two weeks ago I’ve started the weekly e-mail newsletter a bit silently by installing a widget to subscribe to the newsletter in the sidebar.
As of today there is also a link to Chair Blog’s Newsletter Archive in that widget.
If you like it you can subscribe using the widget or simply use this subscription link.
It is my intention to keep this weekly newsletter as unobtrusive as possible. It is only meant as an extra service for my busy readership only and in addition to the more common news reader subscription. The Newsletter will have no photos. If you like to have a quick overview of my postings, a newsreader subsciption will remain necessary. The e-mail newsletter will be just be a wrap up of posts from the past week.
Please note I’m still experimenting a bit. I noticed for instance that not all posts from the past week were included in the second newsletter. Maybe there is a limit to the number of posts that the program can handle. Then it might be necessary to send the newsletter more frequently (after I have posted a certain number of posts).
If the weekly newsletter would be annoying for you, you can always unsubscribe:-)
A big thank you to the early subscribers! They know who they are.

Inspecting old posts here on the blog results in many new posts. Here is the Thonet Chair Café Daum. Still available at Thonet Australia
Designer: Thonet
Finishes Walnut and Dark Oak
Dimensions in mm H 890, D 550, W 420 Seat H 460
Thonet’s first independent commission in 1849, resulted in this design for the Café Daum in Vienna. Today it is
recognised as the quintessential society cafe chair. European beech frame, beech ply seat. Seat pad an option.
That’s nice. Isn’t it?
However, whenever you are looking for a Thonet chair, you shouldn’t forget to check the sites of the connoisseurs. I checked the German language site of Swiss Thonet specialist Dieter Staedeli. Currently he has this photo of a Thonet no 4:
and has following observation:
The chair Thonet designed for Café Daum which became became the Thonet no 4 later didn’t have additional leg stabilization
Now I’m a bit confused: I see two differences: The leg stabilisation and the form of the seat. Which in the Staedeli photo is made of two round bentwood parts. Also it misses the additional seat-back stabilisator….
