	Anyone familiar with this design? The flared arms are unique. Can’t seem to find any thing similar. Attachment: IMG_2445.jpeg

	Knud Albert info wanted... Refering to Jesgord post above... Although the quality of your pics are not the best, the sculpture sertainly are, I also love his work. I have a small collection (pic can be put on the web if requested) but there is one thing that is difficult to find and that is information regarding this Knud Albert, I have searched but got nothnig to show for it. Is there anyone having information regarding Knud Albert, when he was active, where he worked how many sculptures he produced.... basically any information would be appreciated.
	Is this a C. Jere?	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Steph21	Identification
	My parents recently bought a house with this hanging on the wall. I didn't think a thing of it until the inspector said some people collect things like this and it may be worth something. I then looked it up and it looks a lot like the urchin by C.Jere. I couldn't see any name on it. It is heavy! Could anyone help me identify it? And I guess you sell it on this site? Thanks so much!
	Very interesting indeed. I	1 Relevance	10 years ago	cdsilva	General discussion
	Very interesting indeed. I have never heard of such a thing. However, here are two bits of info that might lead somewhere: 1) From the NYT obit for JHQ: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/02/arts/design/02quistgaard.html?_r=0 "For Christmas, the 14-year-old Jens requested, and received, a blacksmith forge and anvil." 2) One of his earliest designs was the Anker line for De Forenede Jernstøberier, which was an association of Danish companies that made cast iron products. Perhaps he did other early designs that have since been forgotten. Would you happen to be located in Denmark?
	papercord	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	papercord I've woven a lot of papercord seats. I've left mine untreated but I've wondered whether I should do something to them. I don't think oil will hurt in the long run---never heard of it being used and maybe there's some reason for that? I dunno. LuciferSum used the Danish soap method on his to clean it and I think that's probably a good way to go. I read somewhere that one can use shellac or lacquer to seal the paper; I tried this once on a seat that I'd just spent a LOT of time and effort weaving and it got horrifically blotchy and I had to redo the whole damn thing. Still makes me ill to think of it. Why I didn't do a test on some leftover cord, I don't know. Never again! So, uh...oil? Interesting idea. That's all I got.
	I love you, fastfwd	1 Relevance	16 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	I love you, fastfwd I recently asked arc the same thing about using stock photos and he told me "it's just easier" than taking pics of his own things. Go figure. I'm not the one in charge of audio equipment in this house because I live with two male techno-geeks who are far more passionate than I am about such matters (though I used to be a classical musician, so I know something about the sound end of it). That said, for awhile I bought vintage speakers at auctions. I'd phone my son with makes and model numbers and he'd look up value and then I'd buy, usually for under $30 a pair. My favorites were some 70s ESL speakers. They were really, really nice soundwise , if a bit big and boxy.
	I guess this is mostly	1 Relevance	8 years ago	frankielemmons	Repair
	I guess this is mostly directed at Leif: I'm in need of some guidance on how to do the weft stands. I've tried and failed a number of times. My next attempt is going to be to weave all of the strands through the top section of the warp and then individually attach all of them to the bottom rail left to right. And once that is done, attach all stands to the top rail right to left. I've stared at this thing and my photos and videos of the old cane for hours and this is the best I can come up with. Any ideas or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

	First of all, I agree that th... First of all, I agree that the prices of originals are often totally blown out of proportions. But, selling an unlicensed repro is really just re-selling stolen property if you ask me... Another thing, I think we should not forget about, is the way these cheap reproductions are produced. There's of course a reason why theses can be so much cheaper than the originals. They are produced in the 'People's Republic' of China, a country which is not exactly know for Human Rights or for that sake human working conditions.
	rare jacobsen teak table	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	rare jacobsen teak table I have a rare jacobsen teak wood table and i have tried every thing most of you all have discribed steel wool paste wax, light sanding, but at the end of the day I still have that nasty water mark that some careless person must have put their ice water on 35 years ago not thinking that they would ruin a real gem. But i did find one solution that worked great I put a paperwate over it and said good night....
	Coffee tables one more time	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	OK, my fellow DA'ers....help me! I need a new coffee table...I have put it off for ages because I can't make up my mind. I've been using a cheap thing from Target for the past 4 years! But now that I'm getting a new house I am going to commit to a coffee table. trouble is the ONLY one I have ever really liked is the Noguchi table. And I can't decide if I think it's iconic or ubiquitous. I don't like running with the herd. But, heck, out here in New Mexico, I'd probably be the black sheep having that instead of something southwest-ish. Any thoughts? Should I just do it? Should I keep looking? Do you have any other suggestions for a rounded shape glass top table with very simple lines? It's going to sit atop a cowhide so I don't want anything solid.

	To my friends in the European community!!! I sure hope that you guys are taking advantage of our weak dollar.

	Kevi in Denmark	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Kevi in Denmark made that design first but others make it now. I believe this one (second photo) sold by Conveyer & Caster is the essentially the same thing, though you should check dimensions and, more importantly, the type of post. (Also, the caption under the photo on C&C's page says "caster may differ from image displayed" but I think that just means that it comes in different metals, not just that one. But call and check. I ordered from them recently and talked to a very helpful and knowledgeable guy several times.) http://www.cc-efi.com/Products/Casters/Series-14.aspx
	scary thought...........	1 Relevance	17 years ago	chewbacca rug (USA)	General discussion
	scary thought........... "At the end of the day, the people who know the difference between a real Nelson, Herman Miller bench and DWR's version are likely not the people doing the majority of the shopping at DWR" if this is true and there are legions of folks who do not know the difference than DWR has done more damage to the design world than we know....... the last thing we need is to create a market of style shopping idiots who don't know shit from shine and rely on DWR to educate them. its like cruelly teaching your children all the wrong word meanings on purpose for a laff.
	two more	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	two more I just got some shelving that requires bookends. I got these Danish-made teak bookends at an auction. The weird thing is that they're candleholders! Who puts lit candles next to books?! I have them on a high enough shelf that the candle holes are not visible. And I cleaned all the wax drips off. They were reminiscent of Chianti bottles in a cheap Italian restaurant in 1967. The second pair are also from an auction (I paid $2 per pair--woohoo!). Nice, simple cast aluminum. I was thrilled to get them.
	.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. these people just get the subtelties wrong, any suggestion of a sumptuos sitting expereince is destroyed in that Le Corb confection. It looks as though its been stuffed with bricks. The Egg sofa though I don't find so bad, not great but not bad. I suspect it wasn't pursued becuase of difficulty upholstering the thing, thats a big surface area to hand glue the fabric onto the foam (an upholstery method I've allways thought little of) and people sitting on one side or the other might put the fabric under uneven strain.
