| What is the original finish? | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| What is the original finish? An oil finish is meant to be maintain and renewed. A film finish like lacquer is meant to be permanent. This sort of thing makes a difference apropos of your question. (If you are going to fix the joints, please knock the chair apart so that you can clean the old glue out first, then re-glue and clamp well. PVA glue does not stick to itself well at all, so they oft seen repair of squeezing new glue into the edge of a joint over the old glue does not help, and in fact makes it worse, because there is just that much more glue to ... | |||||

| Oh, Spanky! You know I'm a big fan, and I don't come here to argue, but I must differ here. Daddy-o's chair is quite possibly all original as is and it would be a shame to paint over all that beautifully figured grain. | |||||
| The removable spring assembly | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | daddyobob | General discussion | |
| The removable spring assembly is beech I am fairly sure and has almost no visible grain nor is it stained. I don't believe the balance of the chair is beech however, but will differ to the majority. It was my understanding that they only produced rosewood and teak models. There are a few "ebonized" pieces searchable out there. Could this have been an ebonized version that was stripped and stained? | |||||

| The chairs tchp posted about sure look like the same model chairs to me. How do they differ? And I would not focus too tightly on Mogens Kold. Your chairs could be by just about anybody. I have seen lots of chairs that look a lot like the Møller 71 in one way or another and mostly nobody knows what they are. | |||||

| Thanks a lot guys. You've all been very helpful and I appreciate the insight. While most likely "in the manner of" these look the closest to the Tapiovaara designed chair (the number of spindles and general shape of the backrest are very close). The seats do differ in that while these are solid the Tapiovaara seats are a ply over top of a base. I found these photos of Stolar Fanett Ilmari Tapiovaara for Edsbyverken and while close the seat constructions do differ. Cheers. | |||||
| Ebonizing with india ink or | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | oskar | General discussion | |
| Ebonizing with india ink or another dye is fine, but how much does that differ from using a black lacquer? I assume with the india ink that you would still probably want to use a clear lacquer as a topcoat. Is it just a cost issue? | |||||
| You are right | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| You are right ..and EamesHead is right as well. The armshells differ not just in the arm, but also in the shape of the back. It has a softer curve and less pronounced "peak". I've discussed this with former Herman Miller employees and while they could not give me a definitive answer, we speculated the change was in response to upholstery. The vast majority of European production shells you will see here in the states are upholstered. It's far less common to see a bare fiberglass shell, and also perhaps the reason most people do not notice the difference. On ... | |||||

| ... that there is simply not enough inventory? Unless they are turning away pieces and counseling their clients that it is not a good time to sell (and that might indeed be the case for all I know) I don't see how they can control what comes in their doors. It's certainly got to be hard to meet the high expectations of profit and volume that were set in the last several years. For both sellers AND buyers. In any market, a "breather" is a necessary and important element. Reading all of these comments, I am struck by how a dealer's view of the marketplace can d ... | |||||

No, actually a real connoisseur won't be afraid to show his or her real taste, regardless of where the item may appear in popular culture; however, the poser might care. (About the photo, that's Peter Zumthor, widely considered one of the most accomplished architects practicing today, with one of his co-workers in his home.

Well, that's evidently an American "problem", here in Europe the MCM market is still running well, basically with Danish and German Bauhaus stuff, Eames and Nelson are down, if you see an Eames lounge chair somewhere you immediately begin to yawn and think: oh no! It's easy to differ between real connoisseurs and no-connoisseurs: you'll never find any Eames stuff in flats of real connoisseurs, but in nearly each mainstream TV-production.

| ... a time. Almost anything added will change the patina and permanently alter the original material specification. It will almost surely exaggerate the difference between less- and more-worn areas on a single chair, too. As the chairs differ -- at least one of them is unique, now -- perhaps a variety of treatments, now, would preserve all of them -- but with differences. A discreet label on the bottom would identify the one that was waxed, the oiled one, the lightly-lacquered one, etc. The set would then become a usable group with tadded benefit as a rese ... | |||||

| I'd almost bet that the shock mounts are interchangeable. Almost... because I don't know for sure. Screw threads could be metric as opposed to English as on Herman Miller editions and spacing may differ. It's probably best to ask an expert like Alfie at Hume Modern in LA or another that specializes in these repairs. One thing I would recommend that you do immediately is to disassemble the other arm assembly and remove the back from the chair. It's not stable with only one side attached and is at risk of more serious damage. | |||||

| ... going clear through and sanded off. Also on closer examination the stretcher shapes differ in minor but substantial ways. Finally, many of the Peter Wessel chairs are afrormosia. All of which have substantially cooled my opinion of the Peter Wessel possibility. Aesthetically speaking, if someone said this is a Kurt Østervig, I'd say it is plausible. The curve of the back, the wood meeting upholstery in the middle of the said curve, and the visible joint work all seem like things he might do. Of course, I haven't been able to turn up anything other than ... | |||||

| . SDR: Am I right in assuming that you spoke out some critical words regarding the chair? Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who doesn't like the Eames lounge chair, I find it too clunky, too massively built, no clear lines, simply a baroque monstrosity. I know, tastes differ, no question, but there is one point which is remarkable to me: I feel always confirmed in my opinion if I look at interior furnishings of customers (I am MCM dealer), very often this lounge chair is to find in apartments where you can see at first view that the owner has no taste ... | |||||
