I’m writing this because to my annoyance my Dark Prince Chair was imitated. Poorly …and no credit given, of course. DARK PRINCE CHAIR (Dirk Marwig, 2009) -This chair was designed,constructed and finished by me (Dirk Marwig) in West Vancouver, Canada 2009. Dimensions: Total height: 100 cm , Seat height: 45 cm Width: 44.5 cm Total depth: 61 cm , Seat depth: 43 cm Construction: Recycled solid Walnut and Cherry wooden floor boards(1 inch thick),wooden dowels and biscuits, wood glue(no screws or nails) Color: Natural light walnut and reddish cherry Finish: Hand rubbed Danish oil. Extras: Supports up to 300 kg of dead weight (proven, with a really fat guy of same weight sitting on it!) Extremely comfortable. The only wooden chair in the WORLD with this DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION (according to thorough research) -signed and dated,with the title(engraved) on the base (bottom) of chair.
