Cool one and funny system of adjustment!
No possibility to block it on the path ? -
Hi, thanks for interest.
@ Pilou
In traditional chaise longues the back can be adjusted separately from the seat; here, however, a single seat/back element is pushed continuously on ball bearings along a steel supporting slat, which is hollow on the inside. The armrests welded to the side sections serve as braces with which to push oneself backward or pull oneself forward and are supported by two steel springs attached under the seat.
@ Spasher
I used Fredo curviloft pluging for the folded effect, very efficient if you draw the good profile which is most of the time the result of trial and error

Can I have a copy of the model? Thank you.

Hi,
Has anyone attempted the Jean Prouve Rack and Pinion Shelves(1948)?
I want to give it a go but the problem is getting the detailed dimensions/angles. The wall connection bracket mechanics are also a mystery as the photos of the shelves don't divulge its secrets.
I tried contacting the gallery that sells the shelves, but no response yet.
If anyone knows a website or book that details the design, please share.
This is the link to detailed photos of the shelves:

Thanks in advance and all the best.
