| Reamie, Your newly acquired lounge chairs do look quite comfy!!! I don't know what the price difference for a Tiffany Tile inset Dunbar table was back in 1957, but I do know that the price difference today is in the thousands...... Peruche | |||||

| Maybe because it doesn't make a whit of difference to anybody but Eames weenies! This used to be a better place to find them, though they still pop in occasionally. Eameshead is usually pretty reliable. He must be distracted by holiday bustle. Happy new year! | |||||
| Good call. I agree that | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Good call, vg. I agree that filling the gouged areas is the way to go and a competent restorer (especially one that knows the difference and when to draw the line between "conservation treatment" vs. restoration) is almost always worth whatever price they command. The damaged areas on the arms are arguably the most attractive and tactile features of these chairs and need to have smooth and fair contours for the full experience. As long as I'm offering opinions, I also agree that a deep burgundy or, my favorite, dark olive green seat covers would look fantast ... | |||||
| Hi Thorsten, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Andrew J Edinburgh | General discussion | |
| Hi Thorsten, I'm the happy owner of a couple of Orange Slice chairs, and I like them a lot. I don't find them uncomfortable, but I learned a long time ago that comfort is largely subjective, so it's difficult to say whether your experience would match mine. I don't have the ottoman, so that might make a difference in perceived comfort. They're not as "squishy" and enveloping as , say, an Eames lounger. The foam is quite dense and supportive; it's not the sort of chair that you flop into and go "aaaah". But I like them for precisely that reason. As for size, ... | |||||

| Whether or not it's been | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Whether or not it's been drilled, has shock mounts and a painted back might make a difference. The fabric looks pretty well shot, but if it's still adhered to the foam and has no holes, it might be worth test cleaning some of the worst areas to see if there's any hope for it. | |||||

| We started cleaning with some different cleaners on one with a scrub brush and definitely saw a difference but we just haven't had time to finish the project. We used this cleaner called LA's totally awesome that my wife had heard about working in almost anything and it worked pretty well. | |||||

| Yeah... I'm wary because I've already sanded it, y'know. Making things hard on myself. But it's strange... you don't really hear a difference when tapping the surface, like you would if there were a pocket of some kind. It almost seems as the the bubble is in the substrate, though I realize that is probably not the case. Having never performed the procedure... were I to make a slit down the middle, as you say, would I then be able to feel and observe the blister depressing, and the surface flattening out? I would imagine so, but I dunno. Possible that I just ... | |||||

| ... is much heavier and floppier than urethane, traits that let it sag into curves nicely. The problem is that the cost of latex foam is about 4X that of conventional urethane foam. If you can swing it, by all means get it! It's more resilient, thus more comfortable, and it will outlast urethane foam by many years. It will not develop hollows the way urethane foam eventually does. Anyway, the way I've gotten around this curve issue with urethane foam is to cut very narrow (1/4" or less) grooves, or kerfs, with a new razor blade crosswise in the cushion wher ... | |||||

| ... reason.) Regular shoes began to pinch my left foot, fifteen years ago, so I switched to Birkenstocks; when they became too expensive to buy and maintain, our friend Koen suggested Crocs. I get them online for $30 or less; the current pair are "work shoes" without the holes -- I can hope to ford puddles this winter without instant flooded feet. Sounds like a Monday morning kind of post, doesn't it . . . As for men wearing socks with sandals: why would any well-dressed male wish to inflict his toes on the defenseless public, except perhaps at beach or pool ... | |||||

| Most of these pics show what I mean by the form or shape of the large "C" shaped piece. In the first pic, the front andiron is the one with the brass "C". The last pic shows the difference in width. The narrower one is cast iron. Any information about the production of this design, as well as materials used on the 3 separate pieces would be helpful. Thanks! | |||||
| I would NOT trust the Lauritz | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| I would NOT trust the Lauritz listing. Even though it suggests they have a catalog, I still would not trust them to be able to read it. Seriously. I've seen Lauritz not be able to recognize the difference between a Grete Jalk chairs for France and Søn and for P. Jeppesen, and quote the catalog of one as the design credit for the other. Lauritz should never be taken as more than a suggestion, one that quite possibly can be wrong. Regardless Lauritz requires verification. Bruun-Rasmussen is not my favorite sort of design credit, but I do actually believe w ... | |||||
| I have done this before on a | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | HowardMoon | General discussion | |
| I have done this before on a France & Son sofa that had a broken front stretcher. It was Teak so the raw material was easier to find and match. The stretcher had the metal key hole joinery at each end. I just popped it out and took it to my restorer and asked him to carve me an exact replica. With a little bit of judicious staining the new component was a perfect match, impossible to tell the difference. As long as you can get a piece of timber that is a reasonable match the rest should be fairly straight forward. | |||||
