| The best way to patch veneer | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| ... blade angled just a bit back, and then pull it along the veneer -- with the grain. This will scrape up an extremely thin layer of veneer, and perhaps a bit of extremely fine wood dust. Do not cut with the razor blade, and do not let it slide slideways along the length of the razor, as this will gash the wood. You want a nice clean pulling stroke with a fair bit of downward pressure. You will want to discard the first few passes of wood fiber, as it will be contaminated with finish, which will skew the color (you will be able to see the difference in com ... | |||||

| Whoever the designer is seems to have trouble telling the difference between coffee tables and the backs of chairs. Probably not Carl Hansen since most of his coffee tables looked like coffee tables. | |||||

| Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. The rocking chair that looks exactly like a Frank Reenskaug for Bramin, what is the story with it? It looks identical in the photo. Admittedly lots of difference could be apparent with good photos. Was it licensed, or not, do you think? | |||||
| Those are knockoffs. These | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Those are knockoffs. These chairs are among the most copied ever, even back when they were first introduced, because they are such a great design for institutions. So even when you find chairs that are genuinely old, there's a good chance that they're not Herman Miller. All you have to do in this case is compare the photo to a photo of the real thing, which is easy enough to find online. The most obvious difference is that the legs aren't splayed out as much as on the real thing, but the top of the back is also a bit narrower. | |||||
| MirandaE, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | niceguy | General discussion | |
| MirandaE, When 80 is subtracted from 2015 the sum is 1935. The difference between 1900 and 2000 is 1950. This number is key to the phrase Mid Century Modern. Any image search with your phrase " Mid Century Modern Danish" indicates a completely different style. | |||||
| Doesn't look like it to me. | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Doesn't look like it to me. The most noticeable difference right off the bat is that the one in your photos has tapered round legs set back from the sides. The G Plan sofa's legs are integral to the sides of the frame. This is the one I'm comparing it to: http://www.retrospectiveinteriors.com/content/retro-afromosia-sofa-bed-g... | |||||

| surroundinsound, the sofa was a different, unrelated piece. I haven't seen a sofa version of this design. I agree with you about the angle, though... it is interesting and I like it, but it seems like it would put a lot of stress on the back of the legs, especially if the seat was not sitting flush on the cross support. When you sit in them, it feels comfortable and balanced and not as though you were inclined to rock. Just a wide, comfortable chair. I think if I could get a picture of the seat support on one of the angled versions, it would cement this theo ... | |||||

| Check out pics of teak and afrormosia on this site: http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/ To my eye, the biggest difference, or at least the easiest to ID at a quick glance, is in the end grain. | |||||

| I have observed that Selig chairs have gone through experimentation. I recently sold a fairly rare early Kofod Larsen for Selig chair, and it was subtly different than the catalog images. And I could find other chairs along the same rubric, but also subtly different than the catalog image. These were all very subtle things. That said, I do not know for certain Selig did not update the catalog to keep in sync with minor changes. I've only ever seen a few pages of a few catalogs. In the case of your chair, it is definitely a completely different design th ... | |||||

| ... the inserts are mahogany because my inserts are very dark in color and look like mahogany. I almost mentioned the difference because yours look much lighter, but I did not. My guess is they are indeed mahogany. Mine are also 100% solid with no separation, despite living many years in an unheated storage unit. Please do share your photos when the chairs are done, I would love to see them! And I hope someone can fill in more facts about the chairs from the DA community. Like I said, I spent some time researching but never found anything at all on them. ... | |||||

I suppose they could have changed their design and manufacturing process over the years for the screws and drawer slides. Is that a common thing in furniture manufacturing? | |||||

And if so - how easy is it to determine the difference on a photo (which can be stretched in either direction? PS. I've attached a picture of the leather version I bought. | |||||

| This design has been plagiarized a lot. I don't know how to tell the difference other than really obvious stuff, so I simply googled "authentic Cesca chair" and this link to a 1991 article popped up first: http://www.nytimes.com/1991/02/07/garden/the-many-lives-of-a-very-common... You can compare their points to your chair in person more easily than I can to your photos. Have fun! | |||||
