	@lexi, Here, we have this thing called 'age of consent'. It differs from State to State, but, where I live, pretty sure it's 16 years. Can't vouch for Pennsyltuckey.
	photos needed to ID a table	1 Relevance	4 years ago	Andersen	Identification
	Hi - does any of you have a photo of the Ditzel 146 table from the bottom ? The reason I ask is that I came across a similar table but it's hard to say if it's the real thing or not, as the legs look very off from what I see online. Many thanks
	@MLF	1 Relevance	10 years ago	pardicity	General discussion
	@MLF Honestly, disassembly, as painful as it was to the soul, was fairly easy. Everything was held together with phillips head screws and was clearly pre-drilled. The screws came out easy and clean. That said, it was a lot of unscrewing and a lot of tiny washers and screws to keep track of. I would never recommend disassembling an ESU, but the circumstances forced my hand. I was driving back from an event late at night with a friend when we spotted the unit. It couldn't fit in our car and we were petrified to leave it behind while we got the necessary vehicle only to come back and find it gone. It seemed like the only thing to do and, judging by this, may have potentially cost $$$$$ if I am ever to try and sell: http://antiques.about.com/od/furniture/tp/IdentifyingEames041610.htm The unit has not yet been reassembled. I'm prepared for it to be a rough go in terms of matching up the hardware and layout, but I don't expect it to be mechanically difficult. Also, while I couldn't be happier with this unbelievable stroke of good fortune, it's not all a fairytale story. A couple of the legs have been bent pretty well, two of the sliding veneer doors have a decent amount of water damage and the bottom shelf had a notch cut out of it, presumably for cords. Oh, and the thing looked like it had spent many of its final years in a garage.
	vintage vs vitra	1 Relevance	17 years ago	I Clock	General discussion
	vintage vs vitra DudeDah, I have seen many of the Vitra Sunflower clocks in stores and in other people's homes. I have two vintage Sunflower clocks, the walnut and birch version and the walnut and black version. How do they compare to me? Well, the good thing about the Vitra ones is that they are about 95 to 100 % true to the original design, and they do look great on a wall. The bad thing about them is that I have seen more than one of the Vitra Sunflower clocks that is hanging there and falling apart at the same time. The Vitra ones are just not as well constructed as the originals. The thin veneer petal pieces tend to pull out of their slots in wooden body center and then they look all saggy. Gravity gets the best of them. It also comes down to the visual aspects of looking like brand new, shiny, factory, stamped out by the hundreds, verses the noticeable skill and craftsmanship that went into constructing the old ones. I know that finding a vintage one is not easy, they just don't pop up every other day on Ebay or in antique stores, but they are out there. Yes, finding a vintage one in perfect condition is rare too, but the patina and wear to a vintage one just adds to it's character IMO. The Vitra one goes for over $1000 now, and seem to keep going up. I got both my vintage ones for under that price. Some of the Nelson clocks that Vitra does are pretty good, but most are rather sad in comparison to a vintage one.
	woody	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	woody You gotta be pulling my leg! if you go on ebay right now and type in "herman miller zenith" you will get at least 3 examples of large-mount red (or "salmon" color from fading) shells. One has a venice label. (All are listed by that guy that never sells anything.) Are we talking about the same thing? The red shells that fade to salmon color? Woody, I remember once long ago, you even corrected me when I referred to the color as "Salmon". I learned that the official color was called RED from you!l Not sure if there are currently any rope edged ones on ebay at the moment, but I myself have two rope edged red/salmon shells with large mounts and zenith labels, and a 3-dot no label "third generation" one with large mounts also. (That one is actually more rare than the red rope shells in my opinion.) Im surprised, because the rope edged red (or red faded to salmon) are not at all that rare. Unless we are talking about two different thing? Anyway, just check out the ebay listings, or just google "eames red rope edge" or eames red Zenith shell" and i am sure you will see a ton of them.
	There is no contradiction.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Gustavo	General discussion
	There is no contradiction. "how to interpret the profusion of Modernism at the fair?", just that Modernism stuff is becoming more popular. They had the stuff so in front of their faces that they didn't pay them attention. Daily use. Now became more rare, more for collection, but more collection, more collection, made it more popular collection. "but read somewhere that Europeans had an easier time accepting Modernism, thus more prolific..." Provably that more prolific made it more accepted. I don't know who I am to opinion, but perhaps the perspective..., Europeans have more sensitivity for modernism AS WELL AS DESIGN IN GENERAL, more as a way of life than an exceptional (or snobbish) experience. Common, ordinary users (not only design related) use design as natural thing. Perhaps Riki/others may say something. That "move" also recall me Riki's move from traditional antiques to mid-century-modern, surely felt "I was not wrong" or something like that, and wasn't indeed! 🙂 I enjoy a lot her trans-cultural experiences, this one as well as the the Hamburg hotel one. Riki, Please, keep us posting this "fresh perspective" that give you your new-arrived-perspective. I love all those thing that are there and the one that's living all his-her own life can't realize.
	I would say that anything you	1 Relevance	10 years ago	My Panton Home	Repair
	I would say that anything you do to it will make it look even worse. The only thing i would do, as suggested above, is to even out the color where you sanded through to match the rest of the top. And if you are a little handy with a pen i sure that you could make it more or less invisible looking from above filling in the grain.
