| @ I love danish Thanks a lot for the detailed explanations! Very interresting! Actually I saw this stool specificaly attributed to Soren Hansen in the book "Scandinavian design" by Peter and Charlotte Fiell (Taschen). It confused me a bit as the only difference between the 2 versions seems to be the apparent bolts. Could it be that Jacobsen actually improved a design that was originally by Soren Hansen? thanks! | |||||

| So I've taken it on good authority that the sofa is definitely not McCobb and neither is the other one. This directional stuff is so labryrinthine that I'm not sure how anybody knows anything. Catalogs, I suppose. Anyway, I put the taller legs on the sofa and it makes a pretty striking difference. Not sure why the previous owner purchased an extra, taller set of solid Walnut legs and then never used them, but hmmm. | |||||

| Is there any chance that the chair has been reupholstered and put back on at a different angle? It also could be an intenionally difference between a dining chair and a lounge chair I suppose. I have also noted a bit of "experimentation" in some of Kofod Larsen's rare designs for Selig. I suppose it is possible that is what happened here. | |||||

| ... case, it took me all of 15 seconds to find a photo taken at almost exactly the same angle as yours. The base is the most obvious difference but the gap between the back sections is very different too. There are other things too but those two are all you need to know in this case. If you really want to learn about the real chair, there's an excellent book which you can get on Amazon---The Eames Lounge Chair: An Icon of Modern Design by Martin Eidelberg and Thomas Hine. | |||||

| ... and more resilient and will tend to compress rather than yield to the razor blade. (Very soft density urethane foam does the same thing but because it's soft, not tough and resilient.) Always use a new blade and you may have to change it before you're done. Foam dulls razor blades very quickly. You can vary the radius of the curved edge by cutting the V deeper or shallower. I try to cut it as close to the edge of the side as possible but usually a quarter inch doesn't make much difference. | |||||

| So I've been making some phone calls lately and asking around. Spoke with a woman who used to be with directional and she put me in touch with an older guy who used to be a rep, in addition to running his own furniture store. I typically assume that everybody here already knows everything I learn on my own, but anyway. They told me that Sedgefield initially started out producing designs for directional, and then was purchased by them. They suspected that this sofa came from the period of time when they were making directional's designs, which I guess makes s ... | |||||

Was Niels Koefoed a member of the Danish Furniture Makers Control organization? I don't specifically recall seeing it on any of his furniture before. (Not all Danish makers were members, and only members used the mark). Also Koefoeds Møbelfabrik still exists in some form. You might ask for confirmation of the design credit: http://www.koefoed.dk | |||||
| My pure oxalic acid wood | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | difeliciantonio | General discussion | |
| My pure oxalic acid wood bleach finally showed up today. Oh how amazon prime failed me with shipping 2 day..... I mixed it with hot water and got to scrubbing with a cleaning brush and wow, the difference you could see right before your eyes What went on as a whitish water came off blackish brown and it's was a beautiful transformation. I did both of the 2 worst chairs and took a picture of it compared to the other midway. I still am going to do another application of it as there is a few darker spots but the difference!!! | |||||

| Did Harvey Probber do design | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| Did Harvey Probber do design work for Erwin Lambeth? No If not, do you think the 1stdibs listings incorrectly attributed the chairs to Probber? Yes What other explanations can you come up with? Wishful thinking on the part of the dealer. From a pricing standpoint does it make a big difference (Erwin Lambeth vs Harvey Probber)? Not a BIG difference, but a difference. Probber was a well known and respected designer. Erwin Lambeth was a quality manufacturer, but their output does not have the same designer cashe'. | |||||

| I actually think that these chairs looks better than the new "original" Vitra plastic chairs. It's the fiberglass that makes the difference. I wouldn't try to pass them on as Eames though. I've never understood why companies like Vitra dig deep in their pockets to get a license on a design-icon, and then the first thing that they do, is changing the materials from the original. Of course I understand if the original was build in a, now banned, woodsort, like ex. brazilian rosewood, but last I checked, the Fiber-Glass-Trees was not on the endangered species l ... | |||||

| ... by the general populace. That's why everybody and their brother was able to have this stuff! Nelson bubble/saucer lamps by Howard Miller were sold to dealers at $15 to $35 in 1970, depending on size and shape. That's the buying power of $90 to $211 in today's money. Even after dealer markup, that's undoubtedly a lower general range than the current STARTING price of $270 just for the smallest size, all the way up to $1,395 for the extra large lamp. If you are in the US, then here is an alternative that is easily obtainable at only $70, if you don't mind hav ... | |||||
