	not found yet but...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	not found yet but... Look for a Scandinavian (probably Danish) manufacturer. The habit of having a wall bracket with a swing arm attached to it to hold a lamp is a very Danih thing to do. You might find that it is in fact two different products. Swingarms like this one have often been sold independently from the lamp itself just as a way to hang any kind of suspension lamp. I will check more references, promised.
	Danish dining chairs?	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Tyler	General discussion
	Sorry for the ID chair thing but I am stumped on these. No markings and searched google images up down and around the corner. Are they even Danish? Thanks so much for any help!
	Repro Kjaerholm....am I crazy?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	nautipuss	General discussion
	I am still mourning the fact that I did not bid on a Poul Kjaerholm PK-31 chair recently for sale on Ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250247428000&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching Would I be a total moron to consider a repro? Any thoughts? I believe I had my one and only chance for the real thing at an affordable price and I blew it.
	eames shell emboss / logo-glossary??	1 Relevance	19 years ago	claus (DE)	General discussion
	Hi there, as this is my first post, I' just like to say that this forum is quite resourceful when it comes to research on old pieces, thanks to all the contributers! One thing I couldn't find on the web is a comprehensive guide to the manufacturers hidden behind the different labels embossed on the bottom. Could anyone give me an overview? I just got a sand-colored shell (translucent, bought in '62 or '63) from germany. There's a "V" embossed, so is it Vitra? thanks in advance, claus
	Eames Lounge replica w/built in recliner?	1 Relevance	21 years ago	hayden	General discussion
	I just purchased an orange leather eames style loung chair with a built in recliner that folds out when you lean back. Otherwise, it looks just like the real thing, including the 5 metal legs on the base. It is finished in a beautiful dark walnut/teak on the back. What is this piece? Does anyone know how much it is worth? There are no labels on it to be found
	Zephyr is right in that these	1 Relevance	10 years ago	mgee76	General discussion
	Zephyr is right in that these photos look severely moisture damaged and I think your best bet is to chemically strip the whole thing. Also correct that the oil won't remove the black marks... so why oil first? Simple wipe with a solvent will tell you what the oil will do, and will leave nothing you don't want in the wood. You're going to want to be as close to bare wood as possible when you attempt the bleach. And a decent synthetic pad is like $1.50 at any paint store... definitely worth the cost.
	thanks!	1 Relevance	14 years ago	rockybird	General discussion
	thanks! Thanks for the pics! It's beautiful in all the varieties. I have never heard of the red one. I would love to see a pic if you ever find one. Here is another orange one I found: http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture_item_detail.php?id=687226 Below is another pic. (I'll get more tomorrow). You can see where the veneer is pulling away, but the arms are still holding their shape. I can see the same thing in the 1st dibs model also. I also have the vitra model, and I was thinking of selling it now that I have the original, but I think I will move it to another room.

	If the rod is simply... If the rod is simply threaded on each end, it could be the sort of thing you could fix yourself if you are handy, since I would be very surprised if there is a source for parts for vintage Copco pieces. A rod in the same diameter, and a thread cutting die from a hardware store might be all that is needed. However, if you are in the U.S. the project might be complicated by a need for metric sized tools and materials. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVcwjjBAT4Q

	. I'm just finishing a project that was paperless. Using PIX and other forms of communication. It was necessary being all over the city. But the iphone is trouble in NYC. (AT&T)... We worked around it somewhat. Someone brought a 'newspaper' into work last week. We all looked at it in amazement. It was one of the rags. I think the NY Post. The kids on the job thought it was really cool...times have changed. Paper is a thing of the past. Ten years ago... Imagine what the next ten years will be.
	How about just frost film?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	How about just frost film? I've used it quite a few times and it looks great. Simple, neat and very modern. You can get rolls of it at Lowe's and Home Dumpster. The only bad thing is it's vinyl, which is not all that great for the environment. But you won't need much and you could do only the lower casement if you wanted. I quite like the soft, subtle light that you get through it. I think it would look quite good in your space as it will leave the clean lines of the tile unobscured.

	. Apparantly its the simplest and fastest way of producing the geometry. Even kids can wield a crochet hook and people are encouraged to use any yarns they want and to experiemnt. You're right there is a little boom in handcraft going on, somtimes the results are good, smetimes bad (amateur woodturning, yikes!) but they still give people a sense of achievement and of having made something for themselves, not a bad thing.
	No Offense, please	1 Relevance	18 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	No Offense, please But I don't understand this thing where people take classics and draw on them. There was one womb chair on ebay for forever that someone bought new and covered it in colorful silly string looking stuff .... a 3K mistake! What makes you want to use an Eames chair as a canvas? Why not make art that stands on its own, with no connection to some other successful designer? Is there a statement being made here that I don't see?

	ah I can see it now, it... ah I can see it now, it makes more sense now that youve given it context. I imagine it had flowers in a vase on it and sat in a corner. It reminds me of English Pier tables that were meant to stand against walls between a row of windows, more part of the architecture than the meubles. I'd call it a curiosity. Is this noise sensitivity with glass topped tables a common thing? Anyone else have it?

	As a man very much in the... As a man very much in the street, I can say for myself that wealth does not lend gravity to a person's opinion or character. C'mon. The dollar is such a very relative thing. However, I don't think lionizing the wealthy is a strictly Western or Texan phenomena. I think LRF was tryng to point out that if these billionaries who could have anything they want and still don't care one way or the other, then hey...but I think wealth makes a many people too comfortable, spoiled and aloof. But, hey, money's great...
	beloved	1 Relevance	20 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	beloved I was just about to quote the exact same thing. Strange. Anyway, yes, there were a lot of designs coming out during this period. I don't know where you get that. LRF - no offense here, but it is apparent that you have read up on these designers, because you do pull out a number of facts that would not be known otherwise. BUT - you seem to have a tendency to "fill in the gaps" for yourself and believe them as fact and to slightly mix up the actual facts. On top of that I think you are romanticizing these "shouting matches" into something they are not. Believe me, it's fun to imagine what might have gone on behind closed doors .....
