| Billyboy, are you in | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | _ | General discussion | |
| Billyboy, are you in Switzerland? I am not familiar with the Swiss Knoll stuff if the desk was made there or imported from the USA. Do you know the measurements of the desk if it is in inches or in metric? That might give some clue but I really do not know if dimensions were adjusted on these desks. I have those Knoll square steel tables one from 1950s & made in the USA & the top measures exactly 24"square while another more recently made one from Italy(?) I think, the top measures 60 cm square. | |||||
| Search this site for past | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | Identification | |
| Search this site for past threads on the Alvar Aalto Model 60 stool, there is a whole bunch of information on these stools and how to determine authenticity. The wood plies at the bend in the legs is the first characteristic to check. After that, dimensions need to be checked. As I said, take a look at the other threads here first, and if you still have concerns post at the end of one of those threads. doing it that way will notify the people on those threads that there is another question, and elicit the best response for you. | |||||

| No. Many legit Danish furniture pieces are unmarked (or marked with stickers/labels that fell off or were removed over the years). Details, dimensions, and construction are ways to determine legitimacy. I would be surprised if anyone was knocking off this Vamo chair design. | |||||

| First Time/Long Time! - It's my Ticki summer. Matched pair of Witco stools. In pretty great condition. Nothing quite like these, eh? Heavy as heck - What I think is a Van Keppel arm chair. The frame is right, the dimensions are right but the back piece weave is quite different. In rough shape but still sit-able. Pretty handsome | |||||

| ... that use veneer. If you look at the Mogens Koch for Rud. Rasmussen wall system you will notice that the doors have a distinctly traditional look and the reason for this is that they are solid wood and to deal with wood movement they have to be designed with small panels of solid wood floating in frames. This was not an aesthetic choice, but rather a requirement based on the material. The various options with large uninterrupted doors on case pieces are therefore made possible by dimensionally stable substrates, especially particleboard, with veneer over ... | |||||

| ... installation at the Guggenheim -- so I drew something, to be made of my favorite new material, bamboo flooring. She wanted a dark color, so that limited the choices; the darkest one I found had a rough-sawn texture -- and turned out not to have the bulletproof aluminum-oxide finish that most of this flooring is given. I missed that when I selected the product, but the benches are holding up well. The surface is scratching, with some color removed, so I may eventually apply walnut stain to the bare areas. The design is based on the standard 5" plank width ... | |||||

| ... have probably been the initiators of the category, but Koziol has certainly been the most productive. I am of course refering to the kind of products that borrow their morphology on a more or less obvious resemblance with animals or imaginary figurines. In most cases it certainly brings a smile to one's face, and in some it might even be a conversation piece for people short of subjects to discuss. In general I find the kind of humor shallow and the waste of material (most of them are substantially over dimensioned in order to give the product the features ... | |||||
| Dear functionX2 | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear functionX2 Welcome to the forum. According to your classification I am on the theoretical side. I must admit that I have never collected anything in my life unless a library is a collection of books, that is. I have even surprised some people when they find out that I do not collect my own products (I am an industrial designer). It certainly makes the forum more interesting when people like you join the fun. As to your question, I think that you are holding a one-of-a-kind piece. It is clearly based on a standard laboratory glass called an Erlenmeyer for Emil Erlenmeyer, the German "inventor" of the shape. The rest of the product is very typical for hand made pieces. The inconsistent detailing of the small knobs on to and bottom of the handle and the more mechanical look of the other pieces, the over-dimensioning of the metal pieces that hold the handle etc. are typical for the work of someone who enjoys working in his or her basement, has access to a lath etc. I suspect a lab technician with time on his hands... To start from industrially made laboratorium glass is not exceptional. The first "french press coffeemakers and later on Bodum's first production were based on standard lab glass. | |||||
| Sorry, modbend, that's just | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | tktoo | Identification | |
| Sorry, modbend, that's just not accurate. Reference images of IN-50 on HM site. As far as I know, prior to sometime in the 1990's, authorized versions were not marked in any way and some knockoffs were so close to authentic as to be virtually indistinguishable. If dimensions, glass thickness and edge detail, wood species, and finish all seem correct, it could be authentic. One detail to check would be the connecting pin. It should be solid with solid alignment lugs (which appear to be a tad short on yours?). https://www.designaddict.com/forum/General-discus ... | |||||

| Hi Ernest. I have to agree with SDR, likely a knock-off. It looks too virgin, the dimensions are odd, and no markings/tags. 3 strikes. Pass. Best, Aunt Mark ps I like it, though. buy it/ use it/ sell it/ upgrade it. And don't forget to feed the birds. They are our friends. pss I've been wrong before. | |||||
| Cheers, the technical term | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Minikin | Repair | |
| Cheers, the technical term "thingy" might have been misleading. 😉 What I am actually after is the dimensions and design of the missing centre section, the rectangular wooden plate that goes into the gap. I can imagine what the connection between the middle section and the outer parts with its spigot and bore connection is meant to look like. But what does the underside look like, where does the centre section go, when unused and does it fold for storage?. Has anybody got one of these extendable Arkana tables? They don't come up when I search google. | |||||
| 3D to 2D with CATIA | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| 3D to 2D with CATIA Right now, I'm playing around with CATIA v5, it has a geat workbench that outputs from the 3D workbench, be they in IGES, STL or DXF, you can output it in various 2D views and layouts. Then you can add as much or as little dimensioning to the drawings as you like. All the inherent 3D data is retained. Great tool. In Rhino, there is an output to 2D function, which you can save the vector splines to DWG, then dimesion in a CAD app. Rhino, parametric? hmmm? Sounds like a nice little script he should upload to the Rhino resources site. Monte ... | |||||
| Knoll ? Not Knoll ? | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | AbSoDeS | Identification | |
| Hi Guys 🙂 I'm considering buying a second tulip side table, and not sure this one is a Knoll. All dimensions are the same, but mine is stamped on the bottom, while this one has no markings. I know there are several different bases for the chairs (guess the same goes for tables) depending on the age etc, but I have never seen this one. What do you think? Thanks for your help 🙂 Edit: I'm in Europe. | |||||

| ... no more label, sticker or stamp present on the underside. According to seller, the chair was produced by Herman Miller in the 60s. Judging by the photos (e.g. floor glides), it somehow looks more recent to me. The seller pointed out that the stamps on the rubber shockmounts, the dimensions of the chair, and the bolts are all indications of authenticity. I was wondering whether anyone here has seen the stamps on the rubber shockmounts before, and whether they could indeed be an indication of authenticity, or whether there are any other clues that could reass ... | |||||
