	Not realy sure about those...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	My Panton Home	General discussion
	Not realy sure about those... Not realy sure about those wall type Flowerpots. I have seen them on the internet but never in person so I realy cant tell if they are the real thing. If you have access to one it would be great if you could check if it has a LP label in the topshade and also if they are in enamel, they look kind of painted to me. But LP made a few variations themselfes without Verners input, especially of the Topan lamp. The signed print is kind of rare and they came in all the five different patterns he designed for Mira-X in the late 60´s, I have the square one in my collection. I believe its a printed signature though so i would not pay to much for one but it would be cool to have the whole set. I guess that they were used as promotional material for Mira-X.
	P.S.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	P.S. Glassartist, I'm only kidding with you. However, and this is to you purists, when I put the fake Quistgaard desk in the office in my new (to me) house, it looks better than the Paul McCobb desk that I had sitting there. SO! I'm keeping the Taiwanese knockoff which I think looks better and selling the real thing! E.G. I now have an original Paul McCobb Planner Group 5 drawer desk (which is missing 4 knobs that I am desperately trying to find on the net) for sale for a very reasonable price. Seriously, I feel like I am not being esoteric enough for this forum and waaaaaay too commerical. If you want me to shutup, I will. But I will say that I'm totally valuing your input even when you yell at me.
	photos of table	1 Relevance	19 years ago	~L	General discussion
	photos of table I can't figure out how to post the pictures to this site so I created a web page. You can view the table at www.msnusers.com/l-designs I am assuming that if it's Burke it is worth much less than Knoll. I do feel that I did well though. I bought the table, two swivel Knoll armless chairs and four stationary with arms in very nice condition. I am still searching for four more armless swivels and better pads for the arm ones. I can see that this is going to be a quest that will probably end up costing me a fortune. The funny thing is that I really love the saarinen and was hoping to buy a new set until I found out the price. And so it begins....... 😉 ~L
	Hairline surface cracks on fiberglass edge - patina or risk?	1 Relevance	5 years ago	pirouette	General discussion
	I got some old Vitra Eames DSWs, and I absolutely adore them. They are in lovely condition for their age, and I see no significant edge or surface scuffing that I've seen in a lot of similarly priced vintage chairs. The only thing that slightly worries me is that at the top quarter of their back, there are a few small hairline surface cracks on the edge. They don't go through the material, and are 3-4 mm long, on the backside of the rounded edge - I'm guessing they are probably from UV wear. So what I'd like an opinion on is whether this is something that needs to be kept an eye on, maybe eventually worth taking for restoration, or is it safe to just embrace it as patina and use the chairs without worry.

	no bedbugs....i checked 8^) ... no bedbugs....i checked 8^) this thing is very comfy....and made very nice....and it has the old style straps across the bottom...I wish it had the tags still! It does have somthing handwritten in the bottom side...it is like a cursive signature...but i cant make it out....probobly nothing...I do also own a Milo Baughman vintage DWR style scoop recliner and it does have very similar mounting holes on the base....has if this chair was set up to be a recliner or a regular chair....IDK This build of the frame is a bit different....
	spanky	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	spanky Considering what you have said, and considering the dimensions and lighting situation of your new place, I think one mirrored long wall is quite appropriate. The only thing that you might want to consider is making sure you leave at least a small amount of that long wall that is not mirrored. Just my opinion of course! You might also "veil" it a bit... with a plant or two, or something to help "confuse" the transition from real to reflection (in a good way I mean) I do agree that the sense or illusion of more space would make a huge difference in how your place feels. The difference between 11 and 21 is huge. Plus, you already have seen an example that you love!
	I'd be inclined to accept the salesman's excuse.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	I'd be inclined to accept the salesman's excuse. An imperceptible unevenness of floor can make any table wobbly-- it's the only reason a metal pedestal of this type would wobble, isn't it? Think about it-- if a table has no moving parts, and it's teetering, it's teetering because of the floor. I've never owned an extremely large Saarinen table, the only thing I could think of that would make such a table unstable would be a great amount of weight set on its edge. But that'd result in a crash, not a wobble.
	everyone is entitled to ...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	everyone is entitled to ... Like James just said about the statement "everyone is entitled to their opinion" but that is the nice thing about this forum, Really no one should get defensive about what somewhat else says. I know i use to, but it only a forum i am sure what tynellbuyer said is not meant in a mean spirited way, I hope, Barry if you are happy with your Dusty Rose Blinds that is all that matters, you are the one who lives with them, but i think what Tynellbuyer means is you like to buy and show us all your clocks, and i know we all enjoy your purchases, perhaps a renovation of the Dusty Rose Blinds could use a update in the midcentury modern home that you are developing,
	Thanks a million for your	1 Relevance	11 years ago	DrPoulet	General discussion
	Thanks a million for your help! I am 99% sure it is not varnished as the wood of the legs feels kind of raw. One thing that bothers me is that the underside of the low shelf is somewhat lighter than the rest of the nighstand. Just like if somebody did not bother applying a finish there. My father who used to collect period furniture told me yesterday that if these are waterstains, I should try to rub them with a (clean) cork. I guess I will try this trick as I don't see how it can do any arm and I will have plenty of corks after the holidays... Then I will try oxalic acid. @ Spanky: thanks for your tip but I am afraid I won't be able to find your product as I am in France. Even oxalic acid is not called the same over here! It has a rather funny name: sel d'oseille (sorrel salt).
	WTF, khus?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	WTF, khus? Who appointed you the Topic Police? None of my posts were particularly long and all of them were germaine to the evolution of the discussion. I care not for your opinion. Go away now. w-h-c...well, I have to accept that the natural beauty here is astounding and the design sense is astoundingly awful. So, what have we concluded here. My take is that we should just do our own thing as we usually do. Put in a TV size that you can visually tolerate (and are willing to pay for). If it's a 60" sucker, well then so be it. If it's a tiny little 21" then that's all good too. At the end of the day it's about your personal aesthetc sense and your interest in TV+movies. Balancing these two things is really all that matters. That and apparently adhering to a strict code of conduct on Topic, of which I have committed a gross faux pas.
	Stamp on underside of Eames la fonda chair question	1 Relevance	14 years ago	richannsen	General discussion
	Does anyone know what this stamp means and if the three dots in the center of the stamp are the same thing as the three raised fiberglass dots on the underside of the chair? I believe that the three raised dots are from an earlier period chair, and a thicker fiberglass, is this correct? Also, can you give me a year as to when these may have been made? There are also numbers under the embossed logo. Can you explain what those numbers mean as well. I have tried to find this info on the form, but couldn't see any questions related to this subject. Thanks for your help!
	Mahogany 4 Legged Round Table #422	1 Relevance	14 years ago	D4987	General discussion
	Mahogany 4 Legged Round Table #422 Can anyone provide any information regarding this Mahogany 4 legged round table? It has 2 working drawers. Number 422. How common is this type of table? How many are there? Thank you, D Okay, while I figure out how to upload pictures of this thing...... It has 4 rounded legs that all lead together. The top is about 3 feet in diameter. It is about 3 feet high. These measurements are quick estimates. If anyone is willing to provide insight, I'd be happy to email them. Thank you, D
	I just can't get	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	I just can't get beyond all of the beige. Because half of your yard is a concrete drive which is the same color as the house, the whole thing is just swallowed up in a river of greige. Before you start worrying about shutters/no shutters, either paint the house a much darker, contrasting color to the driveway or patch and restain the drive a darker color and keep the house light. By the way, tchp, your house looks really nice and the brick apron is perfect on your facade.
	industrial fan	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	industrial fan My daughter has two industrial fans and likes them a lot. I looked into getting one but the room has a sloped ceiling and there wasn't a sloped mount thing with the fan. I wasn't sure what to get that would work with it so i opted for the ball fan. The fans my daughter got are just barely high enough off the floor on their 8' ceilings. The blades have sharper, harder edges than conventional fans. I probably wouldn't put them in our 8' rooms just because we always seem to be whacking the fan blades with stuff.
	I would feel quite confident	1 Relevance	11 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	I would feel quite confident in saying they are from the same maker. Absolutely 100%. Obviously not the same model, but it is quite useful to learn to recognize different things from the same maker, which details are important differences and which details would vary. I don't know who made the table, but I would say it is later, maybe late 70s or 80s. There was a time when chunky butcher block teak with a fat roundover was a thing. And I would be surprised to discover a designer proper was involved. By this time the Danish industry was not exporting new designer designs much. And they wouldn't have looked like this. And I've seen others from this company. If you keep digging you will find more, and perhaps one that identifies it.
