	Hans Wegners chair is the... Hans Wegners chair is the only thing close. Lines are the same..straight legs and posts etc. Is there any way to confirm designer? is there any way to contact anyone who can varify authenticity? I am at a road block and need a good idea of value. Is there someone here willing to give me an idea? Thanks!

	LuciferSum	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	LuciferSum I wear John Loeb shoes and have for years, they are very expensive and i do buy them at Niemans twice a year on sale they are owned by Hermes, I also wear Briony Kiton and oxxford sport coats and suits, both from Niemans also buying twice a year, If you like great clothes ans great stuff you can figure out a way to own them, All the furniture that i bought in the last 4 years has been on ebay and I had my company Retro Redo redo them all as that is what put me in that business , I fiqured I spent 50,000 dollars, on every thing but I have over two hundred thousand dollars worth of furniture at current prices, and all original vintage stuff so that makes me happy and haveing the extra bucks in the bank account feels good rather then Fritz Hansens account,. I will say what Lucifersum said about hand sewing, IT IS A NIGHMARE to do!, We have done so many chairs other than the ones I own and most all have to be hand sew every time, Every time I go to the shop to see one that has to be hand sewn I hold my breath and hope that it turns out great cause of the difficulty in doing them, so if Fritz Hansen charges the big bucks cause of that, I for one can understand the cost, I guess any thing after that i can work backwords to get the correct price, Some one said you get what you pay for and that is the truest damn statement ever uttered . Whether John Loeb shoes,(they feel great by the way, and are hand sewn ) to a fritz hansen chair, Now the challenge is to figure out how you can get them with out breaking the children's milk fund.
	Don't sweat the bottom panel.	1 Relevance	10 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Don't sweat the bottom panel. Finish it the same as the rest. Nobody but you and your toddler will ever see it. The thin strips of plywood on the base would concern me more as far as little ones go, though. The ones I've seen have looked pretty splintery on the edges. The only thing I might suggest would be to add some wide fender washers when remounting the base to help distribute the stress on the plywood shell. As spanky mentioned, this is a common area of failure with these.

	Wow Leif, great help! I ordered some teak pulls from the second link on your first post assuming that the company will send out such a small order to the US. Hopefully that works as I'm not sure that I'm capable of makinking the Wegner-like knobs. If all else fails I plan on waiting for something to come up on ebay Woodywood. Funny thing is the pulls are going to cost more than the doors. But well worth it ofcourse. Thanks for your help and when I get this done I'll post pictures.

	will Mark ever reveal... ... the undisclosed whereabouts of Adam Fowler and Robert1960? I'm not sure I want to know though. The horror may be too much to take. I am now remembering that you told us you had images of each of us in your head... but you didn't tell us that they were already there all along, half-"drawn", behind the mirror. I like the time-capsule thing. Now the new mirror goes up, and someone, someday gets an unexpected blast if they dare attempt to remove the new mirrors. Maybe they will finally get to see what happened to Adam and Robert.
	A lot of it is also the rando...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	A lot of it is also the rando... A lot of it is also the random rewards aspect. That's the thing that keeps research monkeys working hardest of all to get their treats---when they know they'll get something but they don't know if it's the next attempt or the tenth or the thirtieth. It COULD be the next one because sometimes in the past it was the next one, therefore one must keep trying for it! I could make a very, very long list of all the glorious stuff I got for cheap but it would just make me weep like a poor little monkey in a cage who only gets regular meals of bananas and Purina monkey chow.
	No valuation either...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	MirnaMinkoff	General discussion
	No valuation either... It's also against the rules to ask for pricing or valuation on pieces. It's all there in the forum rules in big bold letters which they ask you to read first. I will say old medical equipment, or shelving, isn't exactly and easy sell or something that a value could be put on easily - except maybe raw scrap value for the metals involved. Just because something was made 60 years ago doesn't mean its mid-century MODERN. MCM is a design style, not a catch all for everything thing manufactured from 1946 - 1970.
	unfortunately...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	_	General discussion
	unfortunately... This is NOT made by Zenith Plastics, not an Eames design and not Herman Miller but one of the many unlicensed knock-offs that flooded the market when the original came out in the 1950's. Another unfortunate thing is this is what reached the general public's homes and most are badly and cheaply made giving the original a bad impression. It is still a good alternative to buying new and I hope you did not overpay.

	lol 'deep' what did I say?... lol 'deep' what did I say? it's hard to find a PC hardware manufacturer who doesn't make something that looks like it belongs under the bonnet of a car. that thing you just posted really does look like the engine component of a truck. would you even want a kitchen appliance that looked like that? I sure as hell wouldn't. As for big monitor and nothing else... fortunately that's iMac The challenge continues: please could somebody post an aesthetically appealing piece of PC hardware. We're waiting!
	.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	. Good Heavens, Mark that thing is super tacky! I'm sure you bought it with that in mind but WOW! uasrem2, First off I bought a Fargesia, which is a clumping type that doesn't have the rhizomatous issues of its cousin the Phyllostachys. Second, a cement-board lined trench 3ft deep. Third, I'm in New Mexico where bamboo is a bit of an exotic specimen plant. Too dry and too much UV light here for any bamboo to be as aggressive as it usually is.
	Hello Stan	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Patrick - desig...	General discussion
	Hello Stan Welcome to the forum. These cheap chairs are bad quality unlicensed reproductions. We received many bad reports from buyers who ordered at the 2 shops that you mentioned in your message. You have to look for the real thing manufactured by Herman Miller or Vitra if you are located in europe. You can find the list of their resellers on the official websites: http://www.vitra.com http://www.hermanmiller.com

	you could dress up in overall... you could dress up in overalls, hire a van and pretend to be a removalist:) A scam thats been done before but I think it could work, not that I'm advocating such a thing of course. I once worked cleaing an office tower that had the full barcelona range and the wassily in the foyer, I used to entertain myself with the most detailed scenarios of how I would break into the security room, disable the cameras, hire a van and move state under an assumed name.
	Tape	1 Relevance	18 years ago	crankyd	General discussion
	Tape I've had quite a bit of luck removing some adhesives by using...another adhesive. Get a good-quality masking tape with plenty of "stick" to it, and "dab" at the offending gob of goo. You can experiment using different amounts of applied pressure to see how much you need to pick up the old adhesive. It's worked with a lot of things for me. And yes, Goo-Gone can be evil...i destroyed a brand-new motorcycle helmet with it last year, before i even got a chance to wear the damned thing. Grrr.
	I,m still thinking it,s a bargain!	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Gustavo	General discussion
	I,m still thinking it,s a bargain! Does anybody know how much a comparable apartment in Paris cost? Let,s say same neighborhood, similar area (sq feet), but just not designed by Le Corbusiser...? About "The Modern House estate agents".. Congratulations, I think they are doing a great job, Amazing work they are doing... Very professional(thanks Robert for sharing). Dear Robert, it seems you,ve been watching/following some of those thing since sometime ago, Perhaps you know a little more between design /architecture / real estate?
