	There is evidence	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... a broad surface. A better photograph would aid in the analysis. Clearly there is a darker-colored portion -- perhaps coinciding with the presence of extension leaves ? -- in the center of the table. A sure indication of veneer would be a closely-matching repeat in the grain pattern, something not visible in the above photo. A final check would be to see if the grain on the underside of the table matches that of the top -- going so far as to measure the location of seams in the grain. A perfect dimensional match would tend to indicate solid boards.
	1988	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	1988 I first became aware of Eames chairs in 1988 after seeing a set of 4 black all-wire chairs on eiffel bases at a big yearly sale of some kind. The chairs looked like 3-dimensional "drawings" to me. I was pretty much down the Eames river after that experience. Furniture never really mattered to me before that, but at that point I started hitting thrift shops and flea markets and every mid century modern shop I could find. I probably drove the dealers nuts with all of my questions. I purchased my first arm shell around 1988 or 89... a seafoam green Zenith rope edged chair that to this day is still my main breakfast table chair. I have around 20 shells now, and I only have room for about five so i rotate them. Bought some for 5 or 10 dollars, and paid hundreds for others. I never get tired of the shells. They are better than most paintings in my opinion. Thanks
	I have never personally seen	1 Relevance	11 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	I have never personally seen a veneer France And Søn piece, although I know from reliable sources that they do exist, so I've never had an opportunity to inspect one and try to see what the substrate is. (Sometimes an open screw hole is all it takes). I imagine the substrate is particle board. It is dimensionally stable and cheap, and heavy. Particleboard is generally heavier than solid wood because of all the glue.

	It is very odd that the edge banding fell off. What is the substrate of the top? Is it a solid wood (laminated strips of pine perhaps)? Or is it something dimensionally stable like particle board or plywood? If it is solid wood, that would explain why the edge banding came off, and you might want to think about some other approach, as it will pop off again on the two sides with substrate end grain. If the top has been varnished, stripping it would be a perfectly acceptable approach.
	Can't tell from your photo	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	Can't tell from your photo But Moderinca copies are not the same dimensionally as original chairs. I believe they are a tad wider in the seat. A real Eames wire chair has a seat width of about 18.5".
	Practical issues.	1 Relevance	14 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Practical issues. Bonding a dimensionally dynamic organic material to a rigid inorganic structure in such a way does not bode well for long-term stability in a non-climate-controlled environment. Aesthetically, it's interesting in concept, but I'm not sure I'd want one in my house.

	Seriously, it looks to me to ... Seriously, it looks to me to be pre-wrapped by Parker Brothers, a division of Hasbro. I imagine on site it is not unremarkable in many ways, but at least as far as I can see it here two-dimensionally on the street (and as a non-architect) it seems unrealized, childish. I can accept - and may even be charmed by - the notion of architecture as an extension of fun with blocks, but when you get right down to it in the great big world, that idea can become a little disarming. But I'm not mad at the Pritzker prize people, just disa ...
	The close-up	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... but the mirror repeats of the grain are evident across the whole surface. The variations -- rather than perfect repeats -- are typical of real wood, where each successive layer of veneer is a little different, as is inevitable when slicing through a three-dimensional irregular matrix. No such repeats can be seen anywhere in the painted top -- the best evidence (besides the un-burl-like appearance of the close view) that this is not veneer. The painted faux-burl is a neat trick, no doubt; I'd guess it is accomplished by dropping paint of varying tones onto a ...

	... all because of the choices various generations have made. Directly addressing your question, it isn't one dimensional as ownership or caretakers. It's multi-dimensional. My choices today may not be full considering my future children...but I do realize that my choices will affect their perception of world and the world of design. What they decide to do is up to them. Parents have one of the most important jobs, to help future generations make good sound decisions. I say help instead of teach, because what we teach isn't always right.

None of that matters, though, since the only Lounge-specific patent is the one for the shockmounts on the arms: USA 2,969,831 Switzerland 361,380 Canada 657,512 There's also a more general "Chair Construction with Resiliently Mounted Seat and Back" (US 2,667,210) and "Method of Making Laminated Articles" (US 2,395,468) that you may find interesting. However, there's no design patent for the Lounge, and even if there were, it wouldn't include the sort of dimensional detail that you're looking for. If I ...

	... when the chair was new -- and perhaps forever since ? Well, it has primarily to do with the forms, of course. The lounger and its companion footstool are composed of repeated elements, carefully "articulated" -- that is, separated into their component parts, clearly and cleanly presented, as though the seat, the lower backrest, the upper backrest, and the arm rests had descended from the parts bins and neatly arranged themselves (upon the necessary metal base and rear brackets) in the form of a comfortable and welcoming seat. Each of these elements is a w ...

One thing you could do is take a large piece of cardboard and trace the profile (if its a 2 dimensionally curved chair, like say an Aalto). The profile alone is not the design, you could save yourself a lot of work by standing on the shoulders of years of knowledge.

	$520 italian leather and top... $520 italian leather and top notch frames...stainless steel polished! And they are local for me to avoid shipping charges. Dimensionally slightly wider:good for squeezing two people on one chair. Not a purist, good enough for me! If you all want a definitely guide to the repros, allow me to set up a fund and we all contribute and I evaluate all the copies. When done, they all get auctioned on Ebay and what remains is refunded to the contributors!! http://modernfurnitureclassics.com/
