| always allows the knot to be... Edited (the first part of my initial message didn't show) Hi Spanky, The second video shows Sato, a Japanese native who has worked at Carl Hansen & Son for 15 yrs. Here's a rough translation to that second video: Sato cuts a 5 or 6 meter paper cord to start his weave for the Y-chair, since this length always allows the knot to be tied at the bottom of the chair. A Y-chair takes about 100 meter of paper cord to finish. The most difficult part of the weave is where the paper cord meet and change direction. The same amount of str ... | |||||
| OK, that was about the most | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Riki | General discussion | |
| ... thought it was going along swimmingly until I reached the fourth layer which goes over/under/over, etc. You have to go painstakingly slow to ensure against splits and twists in the cane. I didn't even do the diagonal weaving. Maybe some day when I feel a need for self-flagellation. It came out just OK, I think, although I think most of that is just the inherent beauty of the Thonet chair shining through my mediocre caning attempt. | |||||
| RE: Vintage Mid Century Modern chair - American? Walnut? Please help to ID | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | _ | Identification | |
| Now that you mentioned Canada, this could be an example of mid century modern Canadian design with Scandinavian influence. The underside of the chair frame how the seat is attached could also provide some clues of its origin, like for example, the use of corner diagonal wood blocks to attach the seat with wood screws is usually an American made mass produced chair. https://www.google.com/amp/s/donmills.wordpress.com/2010/06/26/don-mills-decorating-canadian-designed-midcentury-modern-furniture/amp/ | |||||

| Hello- I have 2 aluminum bases and was wondering if they are HM? They have a width of 27 1/2" across the diagonal arms. Are these chair or table bases? Attachment: IMG_6166.JPG | |||||

| Without any additional information, I'll take a careless guess and say faded East Indian rosewood, based on the combination of the receipt and the grain on the diagonal backrest slats of the right chair. | |||||

| Hi John. I was never quite able to figure out how to best do this. I had them restrapped using green nylon straps. They were stapled to the frame as opposes to nailing. Stapling creates less stress on the wood. There were about 8/10 staples placed diagonally at the end of each strap, stretched, and then stapled at the other end the same way. I had this done by someone and unfortunately didn | |||||
| Fixing pirelli webbing | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | bj | General discussion | |
| Hey guys, Can I staple pirelli webbing (rubber) or will this tear through? It's the beginning and end of a Grete Jalk seat, weaved diagonally. Also, do I pull this until it's tight? Thanks! | |||||

| So, you need a desk where the monitor & user are sitting on a diagonal? First, are you sure couldn't instead put the monitor on a wall-mounted arm that swivels, should you need to have the monitor visible from different parts of the room? Frankly, I think you'll have a hard time finding a nice vintage example of something so very specific.(And the new ones-- BLECH! Strictly from hunger.) Why not use the old tried & true method of two metal file cabinets with a top cut to measure-- but with the design tailored to fit a corner, akin to the design pictured belo ... | |||||

| ... it's doable and not that hard to get decent results). Depending on how much time you want to spend and the extent to which you want an invisible repair then I would suggest a different approach on the top surface and the smaller dings on the vertical surfaces (just because they're smaller). For the smaller sections you could minimise the effect of the damage by using some darker wax polish to colour the underlying carcass wood. The ding would still be visible but would just be part of the history of the piece. Alternatively, you could fill these smaller din ... | |||||

| ... wrong, and the woodgrain is wrong. And my guess would be the base is gone because that's the biggest give-a-way on this copy. The wood is not actually cherry - it is ash with a cherry stain. Cherry tends to much tighter grain, with very little texture. And the new production HermanMiller/Vitra chairs are almost glass smooth, with no physical wood texture. Armrests are way too thick, and the photo of the screws shows them at the wrong angle - going perpendicular into the underside of the pads, vs at a diagonal on the authentic chairs. And almost missed it ... | |||||
| the original butterfly chair | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | whitespike | General discussion | |
| An underrated design? I find myself wanting one with a leather cover with the original style wrought iron frame (not folding). Anyone else dig these? I sat in one years ago and remember liking it, especially sitting diagonally and swinging the leg around. I remember it being pretty comfy for such a minimal design. | |||||
| suggestions for a desk shared by two people | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| I am a long time lurker, but it is my first post. My partner and I are in the process of setting up a home office. Both of us are acedemics, so we like to have a desk; but for space purposes having two desks seems bulky. Is there a desk specifically designed for sharing? Or should we get a long and lean table and sit on it diagonally? Thanks! | |||||
| Mystery desk ID sought... | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | dcwilson | Identification | |
| I saw a desk in a thrift store that looked like it might be design significant. It consisted of formica desk top supported on a black annodized frame with a two drawer stack on the right made of wood. The desk top and the drawer stack were connected by metal tubes that extended diagonally down from the desk top to the drawer stack and then bent upwards on that outside of the drawer stack. Wish I had a picture of this, but I didn't have a camera with me. I couldn't find any markings, but it looked 50s-60s. Anybody seen anything like this? Any link to a pictur ... | |||||

| Pretty sure those screws going diagonally through the leg tenons are a signature Elly May detail. Jed might have slapped the old board onto the bottom of the seat one day out in the garage, though. Does it emit a faint aroma of possum stew by any chance? | |||||
| Trick of the light? | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | alexandersforum | General discussion | |
| Trick of the light? It seems to me that the sofa in that ad is possibly slightly different? The base of that sofa doesn't appear to be parallel with the armrest, like it is on asd's sofa. It seems to me that the legs on the sofa in the ad are splayed... Look at how the light hits the base of both the sofa and the table. The middle is in shadow, while the ends are all being exposed to light. Maybe it's just a trick of the light, but to me it looks like the legs are extending diagonally, not straight, from the center of the base (sorry, can't think of a better ... | |||||
