| Places like that often do purchase replica furniture, but the chairs in the auction house photo look genuine to me. All Chinese replicas that I've seen have been laughably awful; they don't look anything like the real thing. My Cone chairs are Plus-Linje, so I can't tell you exactly what to look for in a Vitra example, but if you're really worried you could start by measuring your chairs and comparing their dimensions to those published by Vitra. | |||||

And I have seen them dated to anywhere from 1950 to 1970 - can anyone give me the right year??? And how many where there actually made for this amazing ski resort? The sconces are two different dimensions - how come? Same or different mnaufacturer?(ed.Steph Simon)? I have also tried to find any kind of literature on Station 1800, but in vain - is there anything out there that documents these p ... | |||||

| ... valve (K-680-KS) with a Kohler stacked valve trim (K-T10941-4). I am using Bossini for a Hand-Shower Wall Bar system up top, and a simple Kohler spout below. HOWEVER, I NEED SOME HELP WITH ONE PART- I need to find a two outlet diverter valve (I will only have a spout below, and a hand-shower above, nothing else). I'm looking for something that has the simplicity of design of the hansgrohe Axor Uno Trio diverter model 15980181. However, because I'm using the Kohler thermostatic, I don't need the Axor's built in water volume control. Does anyone know of somet ... | |||||
| When you are planning to get | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Hanna Hall | General discussion | |
| When you are planning to get a replica. The first thing you have to make sure is the replica follows the same dimensions as the Original. I learned a lot of replicas are huge. The knock-off chair, however, just says screw it! and screws directly through the wood shell from the outside instead of into shock mounts from the inside. I did my research and found .... replica is the best (edited by DA - no advertising to repro websites please) | |||||

The numbers were all wrong, only one (the front leg to floor height) matched. the patina, the beautiful joinery, the wood- everything seemed so perfect and I'd have gotten them for a decent pre-restoration price. I got my down payment back and went home to stare at my piles of unfinished furniture. Something in me is doubting my course of action. Would the numbers really be that off it they are authentic? | |||||

| Minimoma, thanks for the suggestions - I'm in LA, I must know someone who knows someone at Sci-Arc ... I posted all the product sheets and the catalog of Designed for Moderns aka New dimensions Furniture on this site, which is the best source of info on that business. (Thanks, DA.) If the Getty's not interested in the Akron catalog, which includes much better known designers, I doubt they'd be interested in Designed for Moderns. ok, I'll put up the new thread now ... | |||||

| I would (and have, with record shelves) just base the new shelf on the old one, if you/they're in the same home. This will unify them and make them more of a pleasure to live with. Use the same proportions to the openings as the existing shelf, and then adapt overall dimensions to the new space, and the right number should present itself. A little irregularity can add some interest, as long as you're working with the same basic grid e.g. there may be some double-wide openings etc. Making a scale sketch on graph paper can help a great deal. Also, consider ... | |||||

| Possible Knoll. I think I've seen them with and without the wood-composite piece between the marble and base. You'd need to do a side-by-side comp if the dimensions match. There are knock-offs that are close. What's not to your liking about the top? Not enough veining? If it were mine, though, I'd replace the felt pads with something thinner. That 1/8th-inch reveal is keeping it from appearing firmly grounded to my eye, at least in the photo. | |||||

Apart from Vodder only NRA has made the sofa version in a very limited edition. I actually think that the frames of the NRA chairs are better than most of the Vodder chairs. In short, as far as Cabinemaker Danish furniture goes, the Chieftain is actually not that rare. True, "good" Chieftains with original leather and the right dimensions and patina are hard to come by and very expensive but there are quite a few out t ... | |||||
| Solid wood means solid boards | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Solid wood means solid boards, joined on their sides, and subject to wood movement. Beyond that there are various more modern engineered products that are design to create a wooden substrate, suitable for veneering, in larger dimensions than trees have the courtesy of growing it for us, and not subject to wood movement. These are things like lumbercore (not something you can really buy anymore), plywood in various forms, particleboard, and MDF/HDF (medium/high density fiberboard). The substrate of that base has to be an engineered product that is not subject ... | |||||

| I agree with the previous comment concerning the sideboard's origin. They do seem to crop up in Germany a lot. There was a similar label on the one I have, though with a different address. All the tables I have seen are also of the same style and in German. They seem to have made quite a few variations on this style using the same leg-frames, door/drawer pulls. I've also seen one with the same dimensions, listed as the 'Frederica B'. I wasn't the first to chop! It doesn't look Danish! As for the points made by the other posters. I agree that some may find i ... | |||||

In 2014, Carl Hansen and Son acquired the exclusive production rights and reintroduced the design for the fifth time. The design is very similar in appearance to the Willy Beck main leather version, with the wood type now offered in oak and walnut. The Carl Hansen model number is LM92. Their website h ... | |||||
