| Vintage for me, Thanks | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Russel730 | General discussion | |
| Vintage for me, Thanks Then again, I am of the "Vintage over New" philosophy in the never ending debate. As always, I guess it boils down to what do you prefer? I personally enjoy the aged look of the aluminum and the subtle patina my walnut table top has. Yes, it has a few dings and scratches but I see them more as adding to the character and a connection to the history of the piece. As far as quality, I think Herman Miller always produces a high quality product (and will make you pay for it). Another reason to buy vintage is in most cases the cost ... | |||||
| Thanks, Robert | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Riki | General discussion | |
| Thanks, Robert I have one and I love it but both of the observations above are correct. Mine has yellowed and the tips are very fragile. Mine is actually cracked/broken in two places. Still, it looks great when lit and has a much better form and presence than the later IKEA versions. I have had it about 2 years and moved it from Florida to South Carolina to Switzerland which is how it acquired its dings. Anyway, glad to know who designed it and when. | |||||
| No brainer from my perspective | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| ... Generally, most of the money you spend on your vintage sofa you can recoup if it no longer suits your needs and you have to sell it. Quality. A great many vintage sofas were built with better craftsmanship and materials than are available today. The most important part of your sofa (the frame) is the part you don't see. Many perfectly nice looking sofas available today just can't compare to vintage pieces when you see the structure. I often say that Dunbar sofas are heirloom pieces. You can change the upholstery as fashions and trends change, but the classi ... | |||||

| ... In great shape other than some hardened foam on the side portions of the back cushion and some minor fading to the seat. The frame could also use a polish but no significant rust, dents or dings, It even still has the original Knoll tag and sticker. Am hoping I can have the cushions re-foamed and leave the original upholstery. Anyone know if this is an option with these? http://www.findingthegrail.com/ | |||||
| yet another opnion | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | bustelo | General discussion | |
| yet another opnion I prefer the surfboard table in white; however, I find the table hogs alot of real estate. I agree that the edges chip easily, my low rod tables all have bumps and dings after only a couple of years. Might you consider a tulip table by Eero; or perhaps, search the Architonic site for other ideas? | |||||
| Interesting | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | dready | General discussion | |
| Interesting The dented chair seems not to be dented but the bow seems to be part of the design as the paint is fine, no dents or dings or broken wire that would be apparent if it were bent. Hmmm? The bikini pads also seem very vintage. Thanks for the insight. Keep it coming. Opinions? Like or contrary? | |||||
| I agree with you, Rocky | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| I agree with you, Rocky When I had my Grasshopper chair and ottoman repaired and recovered, my upholsterer and I both decided not to sand and refinish the bent wood...just leave it as is with its nice period yellowey glow and just live with the few dings. I try my best to maintain the look and condition of my furniture, but I'm not living in a gallery, so the stuff is there to be used, appreciated and lived with. Hell, I've already had to clean up Cat urp from my sofa (thank goodness I bought my Bissell carpet cleaner with the attachment...it cleaned it up b ... | |||||

| Thanks again everyone I did sell it to the person I was thinking of...and Maryanne, you were right on the money. We settled on $350. and it was Craigs list. It did have a few dings and such... Here it is after the danish oil and put back on the wall. | |||||
| I really think... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Cloudburst2000 | General discussion | |
| I really think... that the inner frame is not original. It's not real wood. I do think that the outer frame is original though it's in pretty rough condition...missing paint in parts, some significant chips and dings. I was thinking that, at least, the inner frame should be replaced with something made of real wood. Don't know why anyone put a plastic frame there. And should I attempt to restore the outer frame. I'm not opposed to keeping the outer frame, but it's in such rough condition (can't really see it from the photos) that it quite distracts fro ... | |||||

| Llama feet | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Brent | General discussion | |
| ... decided to go ahead and replace all four, though, and opted for the four feet package. Some purists say it's better to stick with the original hardware, dings and all, but I like the look of four new feet, and Betsy likes them as well. Anyhow, I hope this helps. http://www.llamaweb.com | |||||
| What kind of varnish? | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Ben joyner-72 | General discussion | |
| What kind of varnish? Thanks Koen. I have started stripping one chair and it is going well! The seats have a few knocks and dings on them but i've decided not to sand them out so that they retain as much character as possible. Do you know what kind of varnish they should be finished with? Matt? Satin? I also stripped the legs. They are actually in good condition, with a few areas of oxidisation but nothing distracting. The original finish on them appears to be a dullish grey metal as opposed to shiny chrome - does this sound right? | |||||

| ... willing to invest in the repair/restoration of it. I'm a big fan of doing as much possible - within reason. If you want to restore the chair to 'like new' you might as well buy a new chair. You can also acknowledge the chairs history and accept some of the dings and flaws it has accquired in its life, something the Japanese call WabiSabi (wabi=inherent irregular quality + sabi=patina of age). This doesnt mean you have to leave the chair in disrepair, you simply fix it up as much as you can and dont try to hide the fact that it was damaged. Some options ... | |||||
