The year is 1978 in a hotel in Stockholm. The swedish nowerdays very well known band, “Vikingarna” is ready for an international career. Their now famous singer Christer Sjögren (Far to the right in the picture, next to the “maybe to much to drink- guy”) is their new lead singer and this is his first […]

TWO NEW PICTURES
I will soon try to update some pictures from my rooms but that is not easy. Since we have a new born boy plus the 2 year old twins, our time is not really there. Also I have repainted the exterior of the house and almost finished the reparation of the kitchen. Then my usual […]
THE CONE TABLE IS READY
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. This picture shows the the original dresses in orange cotton that the waitresses were using at the restaurant in Trondheim 1959/60. The dress is probably designed by […]

The flowers are the price for best fair stand and he also won a free space the next year. Unfortunatelly the fair did not continue the year after. […]
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 […]
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
I made a little test with the application “360 PANORAMA” on my iPhone wich helps you taking pictures with 360 degrees of angle. The phone takes a lot of pictures and then put them together automatically. Probably, I will get better in this soon but here is the first test. It was really cool when […]
COMPLETE PLUS LINJE CHAIRS
Earlier, my Bar Cone Chair did not have all of the four white plastic feets and the four metal legs was not totally straight because of a repair. The “grey” chair you see to the right is a Dining Cone Chair without fabric. I bought it to use some parts to make my other chairs […]
FLOWERPOT TABLE LAMP
Here is some pictures of my new lamp. An orange table Flowerpot lamp. Strangely, I did not have this lamp in the collection before. It looks very good! From the beginning, the Flowerpot lamp was designed by Panton as an assignement to make a lamp for candles. That is why it is in enamel. It […]
