	RE: Possible Yngve Ekstrom Pastoe Chair?	1 Relevance	6 years ago	havertz	Identification
	Posted by: lexi @havertz. A side view would give a lot of information; however at this point in time I would say it looks like a Folke Ohlsson chair for Dux. The one thing that is bothering me though is the seat shape, but this may have been a later re- upholstery job? Thank you, this makes a lot more sense. I think it was reupholstered because they have a matching blue leather sofa.

	I actually did try this once ...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I actually did try this once ... I actually did try this once by working the end of a short piece of drinking straw between the treads of the fabric and spraying glue through it. I masked everything off to avoid the problem of overspray, too. It didn't work; the glue ended up very concentrated in a small area under the fabric and soaked through the fabric enough that you could feel it when it dried. It looks like the fabric is a bit grubby. And what's the condition of the foam under it? It looks lumpy, possibly dried out? I'd bite the bullet and have the whole thing redone in a new Knoll fabric.
	Wow! I have been contemplating putting up the very same post!	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	Wow! I have been contemplating putting up the very same post! I too have thought of late that there have been an awful lot of posts from people who seem to parachute in, ask a whole lot of questions regarding "What's it Worth?" and then we never hear from them again, unless a few months later, it's to ask again regarding a recent acquisition, What's it Worth? I also thought that it might have been a function of the economy. I understand the desire to know what a thing is worth, but ultimately it's worth whatever you paid for it if you love it, and it is concurrently worth in the marketplace, whatever someone else is willing to pay for it, and that can vary from state to state and country to country.
	SDR is right, too.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	SDR is right, too. Your poor table has led a hard life and suffered many an insult. It presents a wonderful opportunity for your furniture class (and teacher) though, to learn some important lessons. Not the least of which would be to determine whether or not your table is rare and valuable before using the top as a dart board. In fairness to all involved, the thing was a mess to start out with and would make a great student project to restore to some semblance of its former dignity. I don't think rols or his tutor have done anything to devalue the piece further than it had been previously.
	Robert Sonomon	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	Robert Sonomon These are two of 15 lamps that i bought out of a closed down office furniture store that went out of business in 1982 that sold real hi end furniture and accessories to oil and gas companies doing well in the late 70s and early 80s me being one, Those were the years when every one wanted killer offices and price was no object, just wanted the place to look knocked out, a good friend took me by to look at the building for a potential warehouse for one of our businesses When i went into the office furniture store it was not only a real mess but time warp closed for almost 25 years, I went to the third floor and sitting in a room with no light was a Herman miller 670 lounge chair with 5 inchs of dust , the store carried miller in the 60s and on the 2nd floor was all the lamps of Robert Sonomon, verner panton made by Louis Paulsen Gio Ponti lamps a Italian company call Riggo hanging lamps ,more lamps and some wonderful things from a company called mutual sunshade, I was so excited to see this stuff it was earey as this stuff had been sitting since the early 80's in the top part of this old warehouse, i asked the owner for what he wanted and at first he said he could not sell cause they were in there old partners estate and could not be divided till the building was sold To make a long story short i went back every month for 8 months and finally i said this is so stupid. I bought the guy 1000 dollars cash and he helped me carry every thing out. I never put this in the best deals like the dumpster finds cause i did pay a grand but it truly was the best grand i ever spent,cause when i moved to my new home we used every thing that i bought especially the wonderful hanging lamps by sononmon, panton, and Jacobsen,
	help me ID this sofa	1 Relevance	19 years ago	dargelos	Identification
	Hello, Just acquired this pair of sofas upholstered in Mohair, high end construction. The only thing I can think of is Roche Bobois from the 70's but i may be completely wrong. Any info would be greatly appreciated! [IMG] [/IMG]
	This is a little off topic...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Solange	General discussion
	This is a little off topic... This is a little off topic but did the seller say it was all original? The rocker base looks like a newer addition....it has that horizontal support rod in the front, I thought the older rocker bases didn't have it until much later. Does anyone know when that extra support rod made it's first appearance? edit: Apologies...I just took a look at some images of old bases...I think I may be totally wrong about that extra horizontal bar thing... although I'm sure I've seen one or two without it...Clearly I'm also a noob...
	Well......	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	Well...... I respectfully disagree. If you can say that that about this lamp, then you can say the same thing about that Starck Gun Lamp, and a whole slew of other things. And don't get me started on that pink Sottsass vase again. The lamp reflects its time. It is a good design. Sure, the Devo reference is amusing, but ignoring that, it is a very good design. Besides, if Devo is cool, then though transitive property, this lamp is cool too. Crack that whip!

	Thanks heaps! SDR, thats... Thanks heaps! SDR, thats pretty much what I was thinking of,perhaps a tighter spiral but obviously it must close the spiral at some point, I was thinking of maybe deforming a thinner top edge by hand, I don't know anything technical but it looks like a handbuidling sort of thing to me. But anough with that, I hope Koen can work out all of the technical problems with the hexagonal vase, and if he does do a protoype by hand I think we all owe him a lot, thankyou Koen.

	I think some wool felt sheds	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	I think some wool felt sheds or pills because the fibers are short and/or are of a wool variety that doesn't lock onto itself as securely as some others. (Wool from some kinds of sheep barely felts at all while wool from others will start to felt if you even think about touching it---almost.) I have see a warning on at least one wool felt from a major mill that said something like "this fabric will shed"---which is all that it takes to keep me from using it. But then, I did a lot of upholstery for other people and the last thing I wanted was for someone to come back a year or two later with a chair covered in pills.
	In the example attributed to	1 Relevance	9 years ago	_	Identification
	In the example attributed to Gino Vistosi, the round glass discs does not look like they are mounted with screws but hanging on some hook/ loop thing at the top of the glass. The glass too seem different, yours are speckled instead of the round milky white centered on clear glass discs. Your glass discs also looked cupped(?) instead of flatter. Hi Jochen, the glass in your lamp, are they showing slight variations like they were made individually or more uniform like they came out of a mold?
	I think Vitra was giving you a line.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	I think Vitra was giving you a line. Herman Miller - in the US and Vitra - worldwide are the sole legal makers of Eames products. Herman Miller has gone after some producers of the knockoffs and have stopped them, but, in my opinion, both HM and Vitra was too wimpy about being aggressive. They can stop anyone from selling these pieces if they wanted to. If you want to save money, the best thing is to buy a second hand real Herman Miller or Vitra chair and ottoman and if they need to, have them repaired.
	A over-used classic	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	A over-used classic Hello everyone. I do believe the Barcelona Chair is the all time classic chair. I used to lust for one on my living room, but I'm now glad that I didn't pay an arm and a leg for it, 1) unless you want your home to look like the waiting room of Budget Airlines 2) Its the most over-used classic chair and most copied. Its like a LV handbag, no one can be sure if yours is the real thing (in my part of the world at least) 3) Its a design 'no brainer'. Any design wannabe can get one, there's nothing special about it anymore. Instead, I prefer to look for more rare pieces, less well known, but much more highly appreciated
