| Eameshead, I'd happy send my children to you for extended vacations, given you don't just leave them in your shed =) Tktoo, I've literally lifted up a 670 from every generation and would honestly feel that the older chairs with down and feathers are at least 8-10lbs heavier. I'm sure both the cushion filling and the wood panels contribute to the difference. | |||||
| Kin, I no longer have the 70 | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | HowardMoon | General discussion | |
| Kin, I no longer have the 70's chair in my possession but I can tell you that underneath the cushions everything is the same, same cushion clips, screws and shockmounts I think. The only difference is the inside of the shells on the British version are stained black. Herman Miller had a factory in the UK (in Watford I believe) during the 70's. Prior to this the chair was produced under license in the UK by Hille. | |||||
| HowardMoon, The answer to | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | kin1117 | General discussion | |
| HowardMoon, The answer to your question is yes. In fact, the differences are not even subtle. First of all, if you look at the height difference of the arm rests between the 2 old chairs in my original post, the arm of the chair on the right is about an inch higher. That tells me that a lot of handwork was involved in the manufacturing of the early chairs. As a result, there's a lot of individual differences in each chair. Also, the angle at which the shock mounts is attached can vary drastically as well, resulting in chairs having different levels of reclin ... | |||||

| ... the plus side, if I'm wrong, then it doesn't really make a difference anyway. As to your Scan comment, I don't believe the Scan retail stores had anything to do with the D-Scan manufacturer from Singapore. Having never visited a Scan store, I can't comment on the quality of the pieces they carried. | |||||

| I would say the center leg is not even the most obvious difference. The curve of the frame is much different. The Thonet sofa is more angular at points, while the op's sofa frame is a continuous curve. | |||||
| So what do we make of this | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | rockboy | General discussion | |
| So what do we make of this article-blog from the official Herman Miller site?: http://www.eamesoffice.com/blog/making-designs-better/ It seems to contradict some things said here - maybe it's just the difference in supplier-distributor vs. supplier-manufacturer? They say the double triangle refers to... "Triangles are the logo for the Plastics division of the General American Transportation Corporation, one of the first three makers of Eames shells." And they have advertisements and documents to verify it. An example in a photo they show has the double tri ... | |||||

| ahhaah! You probably won't need the year acces 🙂 I tried recently the day pass and it worked for me. I have been on forums for ages, the difference here is that they provide the documentation and I can exhibit it next to my works in the gallery. | |||||

| Oh, also, the big box stores will tell you that they will not guarantee the accuracy of their cuts to an absolutely precise degree but it's not to the point where it will make a difference for your needs. I bet their are a ton of youtube videos about making shipping crates. That would be my next stop if I was doing this! | |||||

| ... quite a bit like yours. My research indicated that it was not Eames but instead a handmade, low-production, period replica, and I think the same can be said for your chair. That said, I do find it more interesting that your run-of-the-mill shell chair. Oh, and have you compared its dimensions with an original? I think you made find a difference, particularly around the arms. | |||||

| Here is a page from a 1955 Finsven catalog. You can see the difference in the edge profile of the stool. I know nothing more about these pieces, other than it is definitely not 1955 Finsven production. | |||||

| ... to an oiled surface has the following pros in my mind, but these pros can be quite situational: - wax will add a little more protection from liquids and impacts (oil's 2 biggest weaknesses) - It is relatively easy to apply, and difficult to screw up. - certain wax application methods can deepen the finish (add luster and depth), and aid in building or knocking down gloss. (I have gotten some amazing results with wax over top coats of shellac, that are almost holographic in depth) - when there are concerns about minimizing the chemicals involved in finishing ... | |||||
| Thank you for the additional | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Lowe9 | General discussion | |
| Thank you for the additional reference Danish-homestore. However, there are differences between the posted chair on my coffee table. The wooden stretchers between the metal legs are more square than my table. My table also has the difference of having the radius along the top edge of the stretcher decrease at the ends. This would have complicated manufacturing, so must have been a designed element. The bigger difference is the use of 2 slotted oval-head fasteners to attached the steel legs to the wooden stretches. This leads me to believe the table is earlie ... | |||||
| The photos I reliably believe | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| The photos I reliably believe to be of an authentic chair show a metal hook at the top, which is quite different than your chair. I also believe there are difference in the weaving pattern around the edges, but the disparity in angles between your photos and the known authentic photos make it hard to say for certain. | |||||
| I have it in one catalog, but | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| I have it in one catalog, but this catalog anonymizes the maker and model number. I will have to think whether I have much Wegner in any other catalogs. I imagine they took the caster off because coffee tables sell much better and for more than tea carts, and I can tell you that there is a Wegner designed for Andreas Tuck coffee table that is extremely similar. The only real difference is that the legs on the coffee table proper are vertical, instead of slightly splayed out like on the serving cart you have. | |||||
