Stool adjustable telescopic mirima 60s

Adjustable stool, telescopic MIRIMA to 4-Star base of the 60s in skai, wood and chrome metal. This wonderful stool is quite rare, we see little of this model, with a 4-leg base. Not finding any information on this seat, I appealed to society MIRIMA (which still exists) and who answered me that there no trace of this model in their archives but that they eventually find it on an old advertising poster of 60s adorning one of their office! It is therefore the referenced telescopic model TMP with chrome legs, bits of plastic - standard height 43 to 70 cm. Adding that he "is no longer because there is more to the standards, a 4-leg base is not very stable. So no chance of finding a new edition of this very beautiful stool. This model is part of the first since the company was founded by three doctors in 1958. The most incredible, is that nearly 60 after, the mechanism to raise or lower the seat still works. Simply place your foot on the base, press the joystick, and pull the seat upwards to mount it (it doesn't get 'automatically'), and to take him down: press the joystick back slightly headquarters and then lower it to the desired height. It is metal chrome for the base in wood covered with leatherette for the seat. Pleather is in very good condition, yet flexible, just two tiny holes, not even crossing. I just "fed him. Wood is still strong, but it has many small holes, which are the marks of dozens of clips that kept several layers of upholstery fabric covering the seat when I got this seat. I could fill them to pulp, but I prefer (for the moment) leave the choice to the buyer, as these brands are also part of its charm by showing its age and its different lives... you see so. Some Staples have been impossible to remove completely, I so chose to leave in place the remaining pieces, history of not to damage more wood. I pressed them under the level of the wood for that we get hurt by manipulating the seat does not. Staples now pleather of origin are rusty but still strong. Three broken by removing those who were not original, I replaced them. The charm of the old is good, but if the seat can be used and still for many years, it's better. The base is still strong but there are brands of the time: the chrome is picté of rust, a bit on the branches, more on the central part and the controller, and many on the tubular part that moves up or down (the chrome is even missing, scratched). Not for the phobic of rust so ;-) It lacks the pads in plastic, but can be easily found in hardware stores. The metal part making connection between the base and the seat is also well rusted and has the label "seat telescopic mirima - brand and models deposited - patented United" which confirms his age, marking 'Patented United' having disappeared in 1968. It measures 43 cm in the lower position, 70 cm high, 45 cm maximum encroachment and 34 cm in diameter of Assisi. It weighs about 4 kg.
