Dear Core77.com and Mid Century Mobler, as a very long time reader of this site (I was here from the start) I greatly value the stories and features you provide. However, I feel you should really label this article as a promotion or advert because that is what it is. This is what many other sites also do (sponsored content) as the feature is really simply highlighting the product that is available for sale and not actually going into depth with the story of the design or manufacturer. I have nothing against the excellent picks that Mid Century Mobler get hold of, good luck to them with their business. You ought to include the fact that this chair is still in production at Getama in Denmark who deserve some credit for the work they continue to do. A feature on any of the Scandinavian factories that are still going strong would always be welcome. If you continue to run these features as "articles" or guest content it would only be fair to point out to many readers in USA that for the prices being charged in your country for second hand Danish furniture items (some of which is not at all super rare), buying new or on auction from European sites is actually comparable and sometimes cheaper. I hope you understand my point, I think you need to make a decision and be transparent. Greetings from Denmark.
