The same advice surely applies to writing a blog, but it seems that just as I think I've run out of anything to say, we find another chair or another piece of pottery that just begs for research. So off I go again, learning something new that I can share with you and hoping to learn more from you in return.
Such was the case once more when my SIL found a pair of Erik Wørts chairs the other day that he's considering buying. I had never heard of Wørts, and I couldn't find much biographical information on him, but I did find some pictures of his designs, most done in teak or rosewood and often with cane and leather.

Here are the chairs my SIL is considering buying, along with a shot of the manufacturer's label on the bottom.
Anyone know anything else about Wørts, aside from the fact that he designed for Niels Eilersen, Kjellerup Møbelfabrik and Henrik Wørts Møbelsnedkeri from the 1950s through the 1970s?
