| Thank you. That catalogue | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | lowwall | General discussion | |
| Thank you. That catalogue page is just what I was looking for. Except now I have to find at least one ottoman 🙂 I just spent a couple of hours sitting in it and I didn't even notice the armrests except when I consciously thought about them. They curve out a bit and the dished out section is wide enough to hold my arms comfortably. OTOH, I don't have anything to compare them to. Perhaps they lost out to the flatter style when compared side by side in the showroom. I must say that I find the typical Kofod Larsen armrest more visually appealing. But then I re ... | |||||

| ... a fix. That's interesting about Ib. When I first saw the name, I thought it was some sort of corporate identifier like LTD or SA. Re, the webbing. On my chair, it's attached with multiple staples. The shop I bought it from had made new cushions and redid the seat. They did not know anything about these chairs. They didn't know it was knockdown and they weren't even sure it was Danish, so I'm not surprised their "restoration" is a bit of a hack. At least they didn't screw anything together. I will probably redo it at some point, it's the kind of project I l ... | |||||
| My observations agree with | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| My observations agree with muehlebach's. Let's face it, Winchendon was not particularly choosy when it came to matching individual boards for grain and color when gluing up panels for Planner Group pieces. From what I've seen, I suspect they didn't pay too much attention to species, either. I'd almost swear I've noticed a mix of birch and soft maple in some. Certainly, though, the color is in the finish. I imagine the panels were originally sealed with an initial coat (possibly shellac) and then sprayed with a toned nitrocellulose lacquer. This was the commo ... | |||||

| A built a coffee table for a buddy of mine. He came to visit me in Chicago and I challenged myself to build something flat pack that didn't look like it came out of an IKEA factory. The top is an 8/4 live edge Elm slab. I love the burl through the middle of the table. My friend elected to keep the bark on the slab. The base is solid 1" bar 6061 aluminum. All of the joints were hand machined on an old Bridgeport mill. Each joint was then drilled and tapped to accept a 5/8-16 counter-sunk machine screw. Each cross member fits into a tight pocket on the other. ... | |||||
| I am in the Chicago area, it | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Lowe9 | General discussion | |
| I am in the Chicago area, it was for sale by an older gentleman close to Wheeling. After much thought, I elected not to buy the table. I really didn't have room for it, and without enough information, and lacking the original glass top, I had no idea to its authenticity. I've continued to do some research on it, and haven't been able to find anything. At this point I'm guessing its a handmade replica by a skilled wood worker who saw a picture of it. This table is a complete mystery at this point. | |||||
| I saw a matched blenko | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | waffle | General discussion | |
| I saw a matched blenko bookend in Albany today. Hum Well, I just spent about an hour trying to id the lamps above. I didn't buy the Design Technics id. For a time thought it might be David Cressey (which would have been massively cool). Then I found it, Bob Kinzie for Affiliated Craftsman. Stubborness pays off. The pleasure of the I.D. sometimes surpasses the pleasure of the find itself. | |||||
| The first listing was only up | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| The first listing was only up for a few hours, and I didn't save any of those photos. There was not a shot of the underside, which I agree is often helpful in determining both timeframe and country of origin. I did send an inquiry for the new listing to send a photo of the underside, but have not yet received one. I guess it's the detailing of the backrest that still has me interested in these chairs. With the amount of curves and constantly changing cross-sections, it doesn't fit the profile of your usual derivative designs (e.g. Benny Linden or D-scan). | |||||
| I had a similar mishap, | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I had a similar mishap, though in this case my head was not under the fixture (thank god) and and the fixture had no particular value other than that I liked it a lot. However, my lovely Danish teak table sustained a bunch of dings. I had modified the fixture before hanging it and I think I had also mis-wired it a bit on a 3-pole switch or something, I forget. But then I had a handyman redo it and it still didn't hold. The wire at the connection heated up and failed. Too much weight on it the way I'd modified it. OH WELL. The crash when it hit was un ... | |||||
| Hmmmm | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Hal10000 | General discussion | |
| Hmmmm Well, I found a piece of paper inside, under the cushion, from when the chair was bought. I belive it was a mix of down and duck feathers. Not sure about the foam. I'll have to check it when it gets back, but seeing these little pieces of paper was really cool. didn't expect to find them under there. I believe the chair is from the mid/late 70's (according to the original owners daughter). As for the lacquer vs oil question, I talked to the guy restoring it. He seems to know what he's talking about and I've seen countless Eames chairs he's restored for ... | |||||
| Since you seem to be looking | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| Since you seem to be looking for a simple answer, I'll give you one: you paid too much for that chair with that damage. If you didn't ask thrice about its value, then I would have assumed that you bought the chair with that damage because you wanted to enjoy it, and not because it was a deal. | |||||

| I noticed that too. But there was also a layer of mossy like krud from them being in the dirt on some surfaces The 2nd time around I just going to let it sit like you said since all the grime is gone. I didn't know you are suppose to let it dry on the wood. I let it sit on for about 15-20 mins after the light scrubbing and then washed off and dried what I could with a towel The strechers (are they bleech wood?) Cleaned up a little but not that much | |||||
| I agree; the first is brass | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | gropius | General discussion | |
| I agree; the first is brass plated steel that has rusted through. Attempt to remove rust will go down to steel and you'll lose whatever brass plating is still there. You didn't show a picture of the lamp as a whole - is it worth saving? The second lamp looks to be made of brass; personally I would leave it as is, though you could polish it if you wanted to (it will be a lot of work). Any brass polish will work. You didn't show a picture of that one either. | |||||

| That's what I had thought seeing the single broken tennon on the bad chair. I just didn't know if the if the side stretchers had a tenon/ dowel combo. Are the lower dowel stretchers just pressure or do they have glue as well? | |||||
| This little Hans Bølling | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| This little Hans Bølling duckling is not my most recent acquisition. I actually got it 4-5 years ago, a gift from some dear friends. But then I moved twice in the space of 3 years and then finally unpacked in my new home, he was nowhere to be found! I didn't even realize it until a year later because I'd never really put it on display. I looked everywhere and finallly decided that I must have thrown him out with the packing paper. I felt sick. Then while going through work stuff in long-term storage in my kid's garage, I found one box that was supposed t ... | |||||
