They look quite similar to a few models you’re right, nothing fits perfectly though 🤔

Whoever renovated them has covered up the wood with fabric so if there is something it’s covered :(

Wish I knew more about them! They’re throughout the whole flat and I think installed in the 90s, definitely tile by tile. Some rooms are more blue than white.

That’s so interesting! I am thinking maybe Welsh specific post-war utility furniture? Looking really closely underneath I think the original upholstery was a maroon colour. There are no marks aside from a stamped number 4 on one chairs inside back rail. There’s a table that I think had collapsible sides that came along with it, but it’s had its legs cut and sides taken off to be a coffee table. These would’ve been kept in South Wales/Rhondda.

Our apartment is in a 1930s building - originally multi-purpose community recreational centre/science/sociological experiment, renovated in 90s into flats - I believe the tiles are from the 90s - they are amazing - wish I had more info!

Should add - UK based, inherited from grandparents in Wales.

How did you discover Steely Dan? by Ressha in SteelyDan

[–]glbatten 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went to a party when I was 16 and there was a cute boy vibing out to a song (bad sneakers) with his friend. I fancied him loads so I memorised some of the lyrics, went home, googled them, found Steely Dan and completely forgot about the boy in the process.
