There's a weird primal satisfaction in fixing things DIY.
Our washing machine gave the ghost a year ago and repairmen are practically conmen (150,- analysis beg your pardon?!). An hour later with some googling I ordered a heating element to give it a whirl. Three days later it arrived and half an hour spent on my back with my head in the back of a washing machine and the fecker worked again. Felt incredible! -

Designed 1962.

France and son only lasted until 1964/67 depending on source.
So yeah, "copy".
I wasn't aware the ekenaset was a reissue of an original design. Probably not up to the quality of the original though.
We also have a nice IKEA table, originally desk, from the 80s.
But yes, design wise IKEA knows how to copy for the masses
looking at artek copies in the cornerI try to evade IKEA where I can, or don't buy new.
I just think that when quality is concerned, you don't want IKEA.And I believe Tenderloin wasn't thinking the Swedish flatpackgiant when he asked the original question for Togo alternatives

I still very much enjoy our Grete Jalk France and Son set I renovated 1,5/2 years ago.

They really are comfy too! I always doze off in 3, 2, 1.. when I take a lie down driving my girlfriend to despair.
Mind you, they're are a set for sitting in more than Netflix couch potato. And you need some cushions for the wooden armrests but it was the look and use we were going for. -

Our monstera also has an infestation on the underside of the leaves of a similar size black fucker. There's a bunch of black cack around, so I guess their poopoo?
Please advise me how to kill them too.
Don't touch my babies!
