	spring clamps	1 Relevance	14 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	spring clamps could work. I put a lot of tension of the cord when I do this sort of thing (usually danish cord), and I think I would push the spring clamp around. But I know vise grips would hold on there beyond my ability to man-handle them, and yet they are still as easy to reposition as spring clamps.
	RE: Danish Dining Table but who was designer/maker?	1 Relevance	5 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	That is is the really hard thing about the abbreviation. The M could be a last name or it could be Møbelfabrik, Møbler, Møbelindustri, etc. So we really need something more than something that abbreviates to AM because there are lots of options. Ansager Møbler. As trump Møbelindustri. A&M Møbler / Andersen & Morgensen which seems perhaps the best option so far since we have it proved that they used the AM abbreviation (or at least A&M, which is pretty close).
	I'm not feeling that one	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	Off topic
	I'm not feeling that one either. What about this home? It's pretty much the diametric opposite, I think. I saw photos of it years ago somewhere and was fascinated at how someone could choose to live in a home like this. I love every single thing in it and I love it all together, but it's not me, either! Still. I'd love to visit it. http://www.designrulz.com/design/2013/08/welcome-to-karens-color-explosi... PS, Aunt Mark, you are a peach among men.
	Places like that often do	1 Relevance	11 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Places like that often do purchase replica furniture, but the chairs in the auction house photo look genuine to me. All Chinese replicas that I've seen have been laughably awful; they don't look anything like the real thing. My Cone chairs are Plus-Linje, so I can't tell you exactly what to look for in a Vitra example, but if you're really worried you could start by measuring your chairs and comparing their dimensions to those published by Vitra.
	another norwegian link	1 Relevance	13 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	another norwegian link Here is another exemplar of the sideboard. Again in the US, the southwest again this time. And it is said to be Norwegian. There are no photos of a marking, but it would be odd for a dealer to invent the "norwegian" thing as it doesn't lend any special cachet. And "danish" is the expected generic. http://www.flickr.com/photos/modlivin/5396593177/sizes/o/in/photostream/
	It's groovy ... Or whatever...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	cubby01	General discussion
	It's groovy ... Or whatever... It's groovy ... Or whatever term came after groovy in the late 80s. It's not you're typical crafty rug hooker fare. I might even call it art although more commercial wall decor than art to me. I've seen some very similar before long ago but can't place exactly what setting. FWIW, I also took 'wicked large' to be 'very large'. Must be a generational thing. :-). It wasn't until later I reread and realized it was only 3ft diameter.
	apples to oranges	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	apples to oranges Comparing the Plycraft & the Eames is like comparing a Ford Focus to a BMW 3 series. Both will drive you places, have four doors, and wheels...but thats about where the similarities end. The Plycraft is good, but it will always be an imitator. If you can afford the real thing I say its worth it. You also wont have to deal with any issues of the chair already being 30 years old - which you will with Plycraft.
	I love all 100 mid century...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	I love all 100 mid century... I love all 100 mid century modern possessions , Each and every one I have picked over 30 years and love. The ones i purchased in 1977 in Houston I like as much as the Swan chairs i got a year ago. and the Florance knoll bench I bought last week that is scheduled to be recovered with new fabric. I think that is the fun thing for me i do not get tired of the old stuff just change it around. soon.
	robin	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	robin robin i find your tone rather rude and ugly !!!!!! quoteing James maybe There is a slight possibility that I may buy a Coach umbrella to go with my new sandals. quoteing me I don't undertand what unbrellas and perasols have to do with this thread????? Robin if you don't have any thing constructive to add to a international forum don't waste peoples time just cause you want to see your name on the internet!!!
	Atomic	1 Relevance	14 years ago	karin koller webb	General discussion
	I have the Atomic and keep it simply for the beauty of the design. I think the Otto is certainly an improvement as it's stainless. It does not make an espresso however, it really is a 'stovetop' machine so before shelling out the bucks be clear on what you expect. As art, I give it a definite YES! For a great cup, I'd put my money into a serious espresso machine. Some, quite a thing to behold for both design and function..
	ID Mid Century or not Mid Century.... that is the question?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	abelian	Identification
	Mid Century or not Mid Century.... that is the question? Cane is not normally my thing, but these had a really strange appeal, which may just mean I am strange rather than the chairs are. I tried a few other spots (ok many spots) before posting here and used my limited resources to try and date & id, but haven't got even close to placing them. Sorry if they are outside the scope of the forum (learner driver) Obviously not the original seat (shame)
	eames 216 soft pad	1 Relevance	19 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Hi, first time poster here. I just bought an eames 216 soft pad Herman Miller chair for a real good price. It's old but in real good condition. The thing that interests me is that it's made of hopsack instead of leather. When did they stop making those hopsack versions, I can't find any info on them... Thanks
	Thanks Don. That helps a bit	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Zephyr	General discussion
	Thanks Don. That helps a bit. Keeps me on the path towards Westnofa. I would still really like to find someone that still has a marked piece, a catalog, or other solid piece of information. Your set looks great. These tables clearly match up well with the chairs. Still on the fence as to whether I will keep them or not, but they are currently filling the table void in my basement. Maybe I need to get a couple chairs to match, and then keep the whole thing as a set. Thanks again for the additional info!
	you still didnt address what I said	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	you still didnt address what I said You have talked 3x more than anybody else in the last two days-- yet your poem rants about too much verbal clutter. I just think you should admit that you are the one who sounds like a broken power mower. So admit it. OK? YOU talked more than anybody, and now you complain about the clutter. Own up. And I hardly have been posting any longer than you dude. Im pretty new here. So that whole 12 friends thing is kinda lame.
	thanks woody	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	thanks woody Well these new chairs certainly are safe, and non-toxic. Perhaps they can sell them at Whole Foods. Safety is a good thing, but "vintage" is not what comes to mind when I look at those chairs. I wonder if Modernica will keep making their version of the fiberglass chair, "old school" style? These new ones might just make Modernica look good (for a change) I'm trying to stay positive.
