kai kristiansen # 42 chairs
hello,

I recently picked up a set of 4 kai kristiansen # 42 chairs that are in need of a lot of TLC...as I was taking them apart I discovered that one of the metal parts from the swivel back (thats supposed to be buried under the upholstery) is missing.

it basically makes this chair useless...I know that is a long shot but does anyone have this part to sell or a chair in bad shape that I could take this from?

fingers crossed!!!


thanks

Kevin

You can have one machined for you
by a metal fabricating place. I talked to a metal fabricator about the same type of part for a Vodder chair and he said he could do it.
