	Woops! I'll edit the 'not' in... Woops! I'll edit the 'not' into that. My mistake! Yeah, I guess nothing really adds up for me. It doesn't look much like a Pearsall construction, and the only thing on the tag that is relatable is the word "craft," which doesn't really narrow anything down in the scheme of things. While the chairs do have that biomorphic feel, I'd be shocked to find out that these are in any way related to Pearsall.

	Re-read the mans post. He... Re-read the mans post. He never mentioned details. He's looking for a replica that has the same specs. You know, proportions/materials. Sorry I can't help you...good luck with your search and enjoy your new chair. I love PK's designs and would do the same thing if I were strapped. Kind of hard to justify 2-3K for a chair when there are other priorities.
	Oh you don't even know	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Caco	General discussion
	Oh you don't even know Just because you're not environmentally conscious doesn't mean it's not a deciding factor for others. The environment is a big issue for me. I ride bicycle every day, I recycle up to the most ridiculous little thing I come across and yet I think about the environment when buying furniture. I's not a nobly defense. In fact buying new furniture doesn't attract me too much. I rather find vintage for so many reasons. Yes, the landfill is one of them.
	Well done	1 Relevance	17 years ago	rockland	General discussion
	Well done on the wood restore. It is good to have a site to reference. The original cushion were saved for later restoration it was mentioned. Good thing. The Herman Miller replacement ones are all wrong. Wrong leather. Puffy. I'm surprised. I could use a new set of cushions and now know not to get a replacement. I'll find the correct leather and have them recovered.
	I meant	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	I meant I meant I couldn't find any images of a verified Artek-Pascoe stool to compare to my own. Nothing that exhibits the same sort of bevel. It's actually more rounded than bevelled. Oh, Paulanna, you were dead on - the stool is about an inch taller than the Finnish versions I've got. When did the Artek-Pascoe thing fall apart?
	I wouldn't give up	1 Relevance	13 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I wouldn't give up on this piece without further study and appreciation. For one thing, the slight modifications to the design are telling, suggesting (to me) a desire to improve on the original image. One element that's missing or faded, part of the landscape piece (?) on the left, has been included in the newer version. The texture of one or two colors of the earlier work might be sun-fading; the second work is clearly made in a more permanent medium. Perhaps a friend or relative of the artist made the newer version as a way of "completing" the original work -- as a study or a student practice exercise in design and technique ? It's so odd that the back of a perfectly good canvas-board was used for the first work, saving the better face for a future painting. Perhaps the whole thing can be explained simply, by positing that the same artist made both images, trying out his design and colors on the reverse of the board, and following up with the final version on the correct side of the material -- with a prolonged gestation period intervening ? In other words, Norm's original suggestion . . . The range of opinions about this puzzle indicate the difficulties in attribution and construction of a true tale of origin. I'm not aware of another similar case. The puzzle alone makes the painting(s) worthy of note and of display, in my view -- and the second version is a perfectly fine example of modernist decorative illustration, as I see it. Perhaps a full-size photo-copy of the rear (first) version of the image could be framed -- to match ? -- and displayed next to the "better" one . . . ?
	What's the verdict on this chair?	1 Relevance	13 years ago	muehlebach	General discussion
	So, the only thing I've been able to figure out is that several people have said that these are attributed to Allan Gould. Are they or aren't they Gould chairs? And if they aren't, than who made them. Thanks DA friends.
	Restoring White Shell Chair, can't buy penetrol in county. What should i use?	1 Relevance	14 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	hey, i found this Herman Miller Eames chair for $65 in bad condition, and have spent a while restoring it. I removed the fabric and wet sanded the entire base (stacking base is going in the trash) I can't buy penetrol in this county (illegal to sell it) and i believe it's a similar thing in the next county. Can i use a gel coat from a boat repair kit? I don't think clear coat will hold up to use and abuse
	more mystery tables	1 Relevance	12 years ago	kate kaplan	General discussion
	more mystery tables mystery to me, because the only record I have is the photos (except that the glass and metal one appears in the Furniture Forum thing I posted earlier) - no advertising or anything that would indicate that they were produced and sold. And they don't look like the rest of the Designed for Moderns stuff. I like them all, even though/because they're strange. oh, the round table I posted earlier is 20 inches in diameter, 22.5 high - says so on the back of the photo
	Ha, I don't know...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	brbeard	General discussion
	Ha, I don't know... Ha, I don't know superdeluxe. I hadn't wanted to, but I've been perusing this book, and they make it sound preeeeetty good. Here're a few gems from this new purchase: "Two cats, like two heads, are better than one. Unlike two heads, two cats are easy to get" 🙂 And in the chapter "How to Destroy Unwanted Kittens" we're given this advice: "If you can't keep the kittens, the kindest thing is to kill them as soon as they are born...the mother cat will forget them in a few hours" ha!
	I'm shocked, shocked to find shady dealers on Ebay!	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	I'm shocked, shocked to find shady dealers on Ebay! Ebay is FAMOUS for counterfeit goods and deceitful sellers... And of course antique dealers in general are stereotypically dishonest. Surely this isn't the first time anyone here has seen a willfully misrepresented item. It's fun to look at the results of Asawa's detective work, but really, no one should be surprised to learn that this sort of thing goes on.
	I have a similar chair,	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	I have a similar chair, it has padded fabric sewn all around the seat area, with springs exposed for give. I think you could do the same thing or a simple way would be just to "sleave" the metal slats with heavy duty fabric and if you need to cover the springs to avoid snagging cushion you could use an old bike innertube or something similar and cut to length needed. Good luck!
	Low opening bids are like catnip	1 Relevance	19 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	Low opening bids are like catnip First, the item's pounced upon by naive bottom-feeders, who actually THINK they might score the thing for ten or twenty bucks. After several of these types have nibbled the price up--in puny single-digit increments-- the item then has multiple bids, and it seems all the more desirable to other bidders. Irrational, but that's human nature. A crowd attracts a crowd.
