Dierbaar Design

You are a race enthousiast, a commited vegan, a full-time yuppie, or just love a good game of chess …

You are all going to fall head over heels for this brand new (2023) Herman Miller lounge in black ash and timeless Girard checker fabric .

I got this from the Herman Miller legend Cal Rotman on my 2023 run : he was the dedicated employee who handpicked the rosewood veneers for the lounge chairs . He even met Charles and Ray when they walked the factory floors .

It had veneer damage to the headrest and that’s why we set it aside all this time .

Veneer is fixed , all parts repainted . Ready for you to enjoy this weekend .

Indulge yourself with this classic where milestones meet : Charlie , Alexander and Cal .

There’s a saying “It takes a village to raise a child” .

And an extensive restoration sometimes feels the same way . We started out from scratch on this one : our intern Noémie did lots of research together with Australia and me, and Gerard did the dismantling, metalwork by Kristof and me , powdercoating and surface treatment by Peter and me , woodtreatment by , frame repairs Gerard and me , textile by , upholstery Vicky .i.k.w.e.r.k and Noémie , paintjob by Jan , mounting and me (with new old stock hardware we could acquire of a local hardware store that went out of business after nearly 100 years) , proffesional photos taken by and all communication of the entire process with our beloved client was done by Ingrid .consultancy .

Now, I’m probably still forgetting to mention a couple persons here but so far well over 30 skillful hands have worked on this one .
Our client was emotionally moved by the result , now they are off again to Indonesia .

Sometimes you come across fun stuff :
Take this 2nd gen LTR for instance . Mislabeled as a George Nelson design , or was it a practical joke of both designers ..? We can only fantasize about it , but I bet they both would have a laugh about it .
850 euro

Don’t let your happiness depend on others , get yourself a treat today !

We have a legsplint , an old 2nd gen LTR or a more recent red Herman Miller LCW ( 2004 ) , basically up for grabs .

Brand new ottoman , who got injured in the showroom , ready for pick-up . ✔️

If you are more of an old English type of gentleman and are thinking of ways to blend in more with the younger crowd we might have your answer just sitting right here . We have this beautiful bordeaux leather over rosewood lounge chair in which holds the perfect balance between classy and sassy . It’s got the perfect mixture of both worlds . It will give you this distinguished look but in such a subtle way it will envy people . We offer it ‘as is’ but I’m praying out loud to all the chairgods to please let me refinish this one . It’s rather hard to tell but it’s got a beautiful grain in the veneer which will set you out from the crowd . Her old bones are great . And besides from all the bu****it written above : have you ever seen a bordeaux over rosewood lounge chair ??
Did I mention it’s a Herman Miller white label ?
Buy now or regret forever .
