THIS IS PREFAB FURNITURE! / Klaus Grabe
Jeff at Pierson 20th Century Modern in San Mateo shared this great piece of Klaus Grabe
ephemera with me when I was at his shop last weekend.
This is the full scale furniture pattern that came in the mail. The rest is up to the customer.
The other option is the prefab unit. The customer would get the disassembled chair in a box and just has to put it together.
Don't forget the dowels!
The prefab route would be the way to go. Cutting all that wood seems like a pain.
Meet the designer... Klaus on one of his prefab chairs.
