| This is the first I've... This is the first I've learned of him and his work...certainly not the end of it. I too wondered about those exposed fasteners. My inital two thoughts ...purely speculative, out of concerns for durability or ease/limitations of production. Certainly distracting, but doesn't diminish the overall picture. Following info culled from International Auctioneers for a red lacquered one. #238 A chair, Model SE 42, designed by Egon Eiermann in 1950 for Wilde & Spieth, Esslingen, Germany, bent and moulded laminated wood, matted, red lacquer ... | |||||
| Pefection | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Sound & Design | General discussion | |
| Pefection can always be improved upon...that's my motto We are always in some measurable way attempting towards perfection weather we admit it or not, and in some form or another....or if we'll archive it...but we do it anyway. Pointing out flaws doesn't, as you pointed out, diminish that particular design worthiness. disposable elements like shock mounts fail. They were never seen as permanent fixtures. I feel my example of the shell chair was quite suitable. Based on my understanding of its intended use, it does fall short. Comfort is an important fac ... | |||||
| What? | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Modern Love | General discussion | |
| What? "....you both have another thing coming" What?!?! I don't think whitespike meant to offend you. Nor did both whitespike and I question the dispute over the wire chairs. We just would like to know where you read that there were not many new designs coming out during that period. You can't just say stuff, and not be able to back it up, especially here on the DesignAddict forum. This portal is highly regarded internationally as a great informational resource. Possible inaccuracies in statements here will be quickly and respectfully challenged, because ... | |||||
| "The Vision of F L W" by Thomas A. Heinz, P.32 | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| ... I am wary of taking Wright for his word on the subject of his own height. You are more knowledgeable about Wright than I am, and you allow for some fudging on his part. Do you know him so well as to know precisely how much he fudged? You do seem to expect that Wright likely did fudge. The question becomes, "by how much?" I would not be surprised if he added a full six and a half inches! I allow that I could be wrong, however. I suspect several authors and historians have doubted Wright's figure, as he was somewhat vain, and that therefore different f ... | |||||

| ... have to be glued down. You may have to ship them to an upholsterer who specializes in this stuff. That, of course, would cut into your profit a bit but it's better to get it done well and get top dollar than have amateurish work that diminishes the value. Surely there are other MCM dealers in Seattle who would know of an upholsterer who can do Egg chairs well? | |||||
| How it works | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | niceguy | General discussion | |
| How it works AllthingsStig, I spoke with Rachel Prater at Gallery 925 and found that the site mentioned will remove the postings should you pay for this service. The good news is I sold her a Georg Jensen sterling silver dipping pen that she and her clients desired to acquire more than I wanted to keep. I do not care for any form of writing that diminishes the lessons (form and style) I was taught as a child. | |||||
| Going once, Going twice... | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | bustelo | General discussion | |
| Going once, Going twice... Personally, I think it is a generic mid 1960s piece, which in no way diminishes its aesthetic or usefulness. If it appeals to your eye and sensibilities trust your self. If the thrift store is run for a charitable cause then do not give the price a second thought. I hope you are buying the table to enjoy and use. Pick up any discount catalog and you will find dozens of tables that cost more and have far less style. You are not likely to see another one; and so, it is now or never for this design. Buy it, try it, enjoy it and if in ... | |||||

| ... a property of adhesives and expoxies and drying is the way of glues. Addition of other things into a the bonding agent such as gravel into concrete is called an admixture and creates a matrix. Concrete achieves its strength by forming a colloidal matrix (fancy word a for a soup) with all the other stuff that's in the mixture rather than forming a surface bond which it what you get with a glue. I think that it would be possible to create a glue that would allow an admixture of organics like flower petals or spices that would create a matrix with wood under p ... | |||||
| Glad to hear it is | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| ... rust on stainless qualifies as desirable "patina". And the leathe ripples look much diminished in your photos. I think the leather looks perfect actually. A touch of wear on leather, as long as it is structurally sound is my idea of perfect. Erik Jørgensen is still around. You might ask them what the code underneath means. Aside from the number that does look strikingly like a date, I would have thought the chair is older based on the wear and the fabric tag. | |||||
| Sofa, thy name is Hideous | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | Brent | General discussion | |
| ... value is her love for it. But does her love outweigh the cost--and is her love actually diminished upon learning that the sofa has no provenance? Had she learned that the sofa was the creation of a famous designer, would her love have increased? If provenance has no effect on VL's love, then what, I wonder, determines her love for the sofa? Perhaps it is comfortable. Perhaps VL is a vampire. Perhaps it is something I know not what. Curiouser and curiouser... | |||||
| Its not up to us | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| Its not up to us Agree or disagree, Noguchi did what he did and that's that. What's in those two photos above is what he diD, and that's good enough for me. I think there is an obvious clarity THERE, in those two photographed pieces. The elements hang together very solidly. (for me) The base, purchased by itself, is a wild card in one sense. If the relationship of this new separate base and top was not chosen by the artist-- or deemed acceptable by him to leave that up to others to make that choice--then I think the authenticity of any marriage of base and t ... | |||||

| ... I had the opportunity to actually sit in one and experience it first hand. I think in a past post about the kangaroo chair I may have even said that it was uncomfortable. Well, that's not really true, but it is not the chair I hoped it would be. I always regarded the kangaroo as Nelson's womb chair, and I guess I expected the scale and comfort to be on par with the womb chair as well, and it's not. The kangaroo is smaller than the womb chair (compare the dims, they are easy to find on line) and the seating posture is much different. Where the womb is a big, ... | |||||
| Capital n - o | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | brbeard | General discussion | |
| Capital n - o LuciferSam, This isn't a 'professional opinion,' but it's my opinion as a collector -- don't touch the seats. Refinishing really is a last resort and I rarely consider purchasing pieces that've been refinished. If I wanted the chair to look brand new, I'd buy a re-issue. But if I want an Evans, well, I think I'd be able to accept and maybe appreciate the "character" marks. And refinishing definitely diminishes value -- look at prices on ebay if you'd like to confirm this. | |||||

| Looks legit to me. | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | tktoo | Identification | |
| Looks legit to me. Appropriate wear and darkening of the wood (as evidenced by ghost of removed tag), label and construction details appear correct. Of course, these benches are relatively easy to fake. But taking it to the level of detail shown in your photos seems unlikely considering the law of diminishing returns and that vintage examples aren't exactly rare. | |||||
