| No, these are not a Saarinen | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| ... look that a lot of office furniture places were (and still are) producing. Also, the wood on these chairs looks like a common light-colored species with a walnut-tone finish on it. I'm pretty sure that Saarinen didn't go in for that kind of thing. This chair shape was widely copied, by the way. | |||||
| WOW. | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Eameshead | Off topic | |
| WOW. I didn't know that Trump had been totally blackballed by every US bank! "Mr. Wall" who is all "us and them" on free trade, is totally kissing Putins ass for his loans! This is absurd. He calls Hillary "corrupt"--- while he continues to make significant loan deals with Putin and his friends? Do we want a president who is not credit worthy and can't even get a loan from a US Bank? Do we want a president who owes Vladimir Putin (and his friends) HUUUGE amounts of money? This guy is scum. PS did Russia hack the DNC? | |||||

| ... very close copy, which they've been known to do. That's the one in this Lauritz sale. (Just for future reference.) http://www.lauritz.com/en/auction/a-svensson-och-y-sandstroem-faatoelj-g... Wesemael, that's probably what you meant, I just got caught up in looking at all the different links and it ended up being rather confusing. I hope I didn't add to the confusion. | |||||
| This was an old thread I came | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | raulduke | General discussion | |
| ... Perfect! The damage to the chair was apparent from the pictures but I thought that, at the very least, the parts (cushions and harware) would be worth a certain amount, even if the shockmounts are damaged or the wood was irreparable. The chair arrived in good structural condition, which was a bonus. Several months after having it sit in my living room, I came across some Natural oil and had enough time to take a stab at following tktoo's instructions. I was planning on using a damaged base first, but my wife convinced me not to. I still think that was a ter ... | |||||
| I really don't mean to | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| I really don't mean to discourage you about your situation. It is an amazing set, with great sentimental value to you, that you didn't have to purchase. You are really in a pretty wonderful position, right off the bat. If it were me, I would live with the state it is currently in (table and chairs), and slowly save up the necessary funds to have it professionally refinished. Put the conclusion of your savings schedule out a year, or two. In a couple years, you will have the money to do it properly, and hopefully references for an artisan that can do it p ... | |||||

| ... is pretty solid construction, and in great condition so that is a plus. They said the credenza was marked Fritz Hansen in the back, but would not help me move it to check. Considering I did not really want it, and they didn't identify the Møllers, I didn't even bother looking any more closely. Also picked up a sweet little expanding teak tea cart, so it was a pretty good morning. Thanks for the input on the Gudme table. It makes good sense in hindsight. | |||||
| Oh well maybe that's where I | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Watsonette | General discussion | |
| Oh well maybe that's where I went wrong - I put some (a good amount) on a towel and rubbed it into the same spot. Nothing happened so I tried a few times on the same location and still, it didn't become sticky or change texture so I assumed it was a no-go. I still have the 2nd chair so I'll give it a go and see if it gels up and I'll let you know. I'll also post photos of the chair! I completely get your point about the spots. Some of them are very stubborn but in the end it'll work out and I'll toss this experience into my mental filing cabinet! | |||||
| That's a pretty good result | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| That's a pretty good result with the Citrus-strip. It's odd that the white didn't come off too but maybe it just needed more time? Best to err on the side of caution. Did you try a little rubbing alcohol on the white paint? | |||||
| I did some tests to see what | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Watsonette | General discussion | |
| I did some tests to see what kind of finish was on the chair and I did not get the gel response for lacquer and no response to the rubbing alcohol. I was surprised that the finish didn't react to the acetone because it is indeed chipping and cracking. Since it was not clear to me at that point, I opted not to use a stripper, which I believe is still my choice since it's my project, right? | |||||
| It's not a Wegner design but | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| It's not a Wegner design but there has been a close relationship between Denmark and Japan for a long time as far as design goes. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/63696385/list/world-of-design-japanordic-... Japan produced Danish Modern furniture---not in the quantity that Denmark did, and I'm guessing that they didn't export a lot of it just judging by how much I've seen over the years. But it's there. There's a long-running show right now at the Designmuseum Danmark about this. I wish I could go! http://designmuseum.dk/en/udstillinger/japanisme | |||||
| So here is what you going to | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| So here is what you going to discover if you try to sand these yourself. You will start on a rear leg, and discover that it gets far darker than the front leg. So you will suddenly realize you have to sand the whole chair. Then you will realize you can't sand the areas around the upholstery (it appears to be leather!) and you will realize you will have to remove all the upholstery. So let's say you skip ahead to the top of the chair, and the you will realize that you need to invest in a spine sander to get the inside corners of the backrests cross bars. Th ... | |||||

| Happy 6th of July SDR! Hmmmm…. Didn't notice the lack of notices. I check day to day anyway, except for two recent long weeks working at a benefit event. I hope all is well. Nice bar by the way. | |||||
| Ah, ok! I missed that. | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Ah, ok! I missed that. Also, I just looked at the tusks again under very bright light and magnification and it looks like they have the fine grain lines of ivory...maybe. I shaved a tiny bit off and burned it and it didn't melt, just left a black ash that crushed to nothing. So, probably ivory. eta: you're right, wooly mammoth, not mastodon! | |||||
| Good day, Spanky! | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Mark | Off topic | |
| Good day, Spanky! Yes, the cheesecake is a ricotta/quaalude based recipe that was passed on to me by a former housekeeper. Not real pretty, but quite tasty (just like me). Dearest SDR, I've never seen a bar that I didn't like,...and I like your design quite well. Especially pleasing to the eye, and it seems to float like a butterfly. Yes! Best, Your Aunt Mark | |||||
| While it's obviously inspired | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | parafo | General discussion | |
| While it's obviously inspired by or a variation of the iconic Sarfatti lamp, it looks more French to me. That spike "finial" was a common element in a lot of lamps by Arlus. I didn't see anything googling but it might be a place to start. Also, that cord pass-through on the t-bar base doesn't look like something Sarfatti would have done | |||||
