	RE: Ole Wanscher/French&Son Chair ID	1 Relevance	7 years ago	SnakeJake	Identification
	... appear to be tight. The foam in the cushions seems firm. However there is some shrinkage with most of the joints. There is a crack in 3 of the 4 legs where it attaches to the “rocker”, not sure if that is the right term. There are a few dings where some of the wood may be gone, and steaming them out may not be possible, I have seen it done, but have never done it myself. The back corner joints appear to be tight, and complex, and would probably break something if an attempt was made to separate them. The cracks at the rockers might be as simple and injectin ...
	RE: Looking for advice on Eames LCM clean up	1 Relevance	5 years ago	tktoo2	Repair
	@coastcoaster, I like naphtha because it seems to work a little better and dry faster, but mineral spirits works fine, too. This is the one step that's hard to overdo. If you can find some old linen dish towels, those work best for me. Otherwise, any clean cotton rags will do. Lay on the elbow grease, don't skimp on the solvent, try not to snag any loose veneer, and stay away from that label! You really want to get any and all grime, old wax, etc. off to prepare surfaces for good adhesion of repairs and new finish. An old toothbrush is good for cleaning out ...
	How clean a white wool Knoll chair?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	I've got a nice Florence Knoll chair from the 70s in white woven wool fabric. It's looking a little dingy and I want to clean it. I have read a variety of things around the web on how clean wool, but none of them sound all that good to me. Any recommendations?
	Unexpected Herd of Eames	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Brent	General discussion
	For work I had to visit a rural Mississippi government assistance agency yesterday. To my surprise, the walls of the dingy waiting room were lined with brightly-colored Eames chairs. I couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for them out there, unknown, unappreciated. People probably love them but aren't sure why.
	One lesson of recent	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... acceptance of national charcteristics. A few examples: Although the world has come to appreciate Italian design in many products for the home, a strong house in design like Olivetti has never been able to even influence the German dominance of computer design. Even the early and great importance of IBM has not convinced users that the Eliot Noyes designs, excellent as they were, were the most appropriate (with the exception of the basic key board. In the last decades IBM had the Stutgart(Germany)based Richard Sapper as design director. We seem to like Japan ...
	Advice on replacing cushion material & cleaning original fabric	1 Relevance	10 years ago	emsy84	General discussion
	... disintegrated to orange dust and there was a bit of cotton around the outside. Question #1: How to re-wrap the springs? What materials to use? I don't want to inadvertently overstuff and lose the nice lines, but also need it to be comfortable. Question #2: Any advice on cleaning the original fabric? I did a few rounds of hot water & dish soap which helped get out a LOT of staining but as you can kind of see, it is still dingy in some areas. I'm ready to accept them as is....unless anyone has a great solution for me to try? Thanks in advance!
	Please Help identify this mid-century or Danish modern sofa	1 Relevance	11 years ago	oldmanandthesettee	Identification
	After reading this tremendous forum for years, I finally decided to dip my toes in the water and ask for help identifying a sofa I purchased at an estate sale. It has no identification markings on it, but based on its shape, use of materials and joinery, I assumed it was Danish Modern. As you can see in the pictures, the armrests are exposed teak(?) and connect to the legs through a nifty notched mortise joint. The fabric is a very dingy velvet. I was thinking about getting it restored but wanted to make sure I know the designer or manufacturer before I in ...
	washing Girard pillows	1 Relevance	17 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	I have 3 Girard pillows that need washing. The white Mexicotton is getting quite dingy from years of use. The tag says to hand wash, but I want to make sure I do it correctly without damaging the screen printed images. What should I use? What technique? Should I ring it out and scrub? Rub softly? Turn inside out? Mom thought I ought to turn inside out and machine wash.... I don't know.

	Good morning leif. [I have no fiberglass doors. They do tend, for me, to lead to dingy, disappointing rooms, although I'd never thought about it until now. (I do notice what doors are made of, but apparently have not connected the observation with the subsequent space in a causal way).] I feel the same way about a Chevrolet Corvette. Best, Aunt Mark

	I like and appreciate... I like and appreciate industrial design, but I agree with you that a lot of old cr*p is being sold to unsuspecting yuppies as "industrial" with sometimes literally a $1,000 markup. It's crazy. I checked out that website you mentioned and while they have a few nice things, I am bowled over by the amount of stuff that's just dingy and dirty being sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars. I actually want to look further through the website but their layout is so obnoxious I think I'll just stop.

	... the kind that's more rounded. I cannot find a photo of this particular model ANYWHERE online, nor are any of my keywords pulling up anything. Also, eBay searches for recently sold Herman Miller chairs turn up images of just about every other model under the sun except for this one. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of my own chair at this time. Also wondering what the approximate value might be, as well as the best way to clean the rather dingy orange fabric. Many thanks!

	While I often agree with Olive, I don't think that more information is needed. since my credo is all walls should be white (whichever subtle white variation that best expresses your awesome individuality- warm white, cold white, bright white, dingy white). The request for more info supposes that it's a scientific decision being made. I'd agree that there's a science to color-- so, from a scientific standpoint, white's the best choice exactly because it DOES work under all possible variables. Are we trying to choose an exact shade of white?
