After many hours of work I have now managed to get all the white paint from the table. This early table from Plus Linje was made 1959/60. After that, these tables had four legs in the crossfoot instead of three.

THE TABLE CLEANING
The table is getting better and better. The edges are now without paint and the plate will soon be clean from paint. It was very good to use a razorblade and a heating machine for the large areas of paint. Then I did a small test with a rubber to take away some small rest. […]
REMOVING PAINT
After some hours with razorblade and a heating pistol… The white paint is not original so therefor I will try remove the paint with razorblade and some heat… A lot of work but probably worth it!
RESTAURANT ASTORIA WAITRESS
Thomas in Norway has founded another picture from his exhibition “A sence of darkness – Verner Pantons Astoria restaurant”. “Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum” in Trondheim had the exhibition in 2002.

EARLY CONE TABLE FROM PLUS LINJE
Here comes some better pictures from the latest trip. First you can see a low Cone table from 1959/60. There is also a note under it that says ” Dranella – Stand C1 – 005 – Bella Center” The first edition of these table had a three crossed foot instead of four. So I guess […]
PROTOTYPE GEOMETRI 1 FABRIC FROM STEENS

COPENHAGEN MODERNISM 2002
A bit strange but today I got this picture from my norweigian friend Thomas. The picture was taken 10 years ago at the “Copenhagen Modernism 2002”. Not so strange with that but the purple Storz & Palmer set on the picture now stands in my basement.
A SMALL PANTOUR
Today I picked up a very rare low Cone Table from Plus Linje. It has a three-crossed foot instead of a four-crossed foot so therefor you could see it was made in 1959. After 1960, for example to the Astoria restaurant, the tables had a four-crossed foot. Someone has painted the plate white instead of […]
AUBERGINE ROOM IN 360 DEGREES
