Charles Rennie Machintosh Argyle Chair
I made this a few days ago to break the monotony. I now keep seeing the same chair on TV sitcoms etc. I'm informed that it's in Dr Who and several other mainstream films.
I hadn't intended to keep it but it's growing on me.

Nice work but it doesn’t look very comfortable

They have a reputation for being uncomfortable but stylish in appearance. I can't really tell until it's upholstered, that can't be done until sanity returns.
If I were designing for a tea room as this was I would be looking for rapid turnover of customers so comfort needs to be limited, also in the last century people sat without lounging!

Nice.

 

[AndyP]

Is that a totally upright back? No rake at all?
Looks very well made of course.

 

[Mike Jordan]

That's right, the very back face is verticle with just a small taper on the front

 

[DaveL]

Very nice!
The idea of uncomfortable chairs is still used some fast food places, often referred to as 20 minute seats.

It looks like we're in the company of another excellent maker.

Very nice Mike.

 

[Mike Jordan]

Thank Pinch
If only I could afford some headgear.

You could always improvise and make yourself a new hat.

A bit like this innovative lady who made herself a protective face covering. :eusa-clap:

Mind you, her eyes are still exposed and on closer inspection, I think it has as much chance of protection as a ship has through a field of iceburgs.

Having owned the chair for four years I’m considering selling it on as a conversation piece.
