| Børge Mogensens 2xxxx sofas | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Peter Dalsgaard | General discussion | |
| Børge Mogensens 2xxxx sofas and easy chairs for Fredericia can be quite confusing. It’s nearly impossible (to me at least) to remember the different production codes. Some are still in production, and some not. Furthermore, in Denmark alone, we’ve got at least three or four companies who produce knock offs of Mogensens design. To make it even more confusing, some of Fredericias chairs is attributed to Børge Mogensen son, Peter Mogensen (ex. 2334. my 1st picture). This is the one-seater version of Børge Mogensens 2- and 3-seater sofa. In Woodywoods pictur ... | |||||

| You are welcome yerblues. While we are discussing the Bwana, I'll share this picture of mine. Besides being entirely original, in great condition with a lovely patina to the leather and having the ottoman (greater comfort) one of the most interesting things about this example is the lack of visible hardware. It does knock down (as the design was always intended to do) but the hardware is concealed inside and beneath the rails and stretchers. The exposed hex head screws are not present. I've only seen a couple other examples of this type of construction and I ... | |||||

| ... haven't had it down in a long time). No control sticker or any other sort of marking. The person I bought it from had another bay with some shelves that did not have brass inserts. They were particle board with teak veneer. They fit, but I can tell the difference in colour and it bothers me so I don't use it. | |||||

| ... slather your hands with Aspercreme when you're done for the day. I find that makes a huge difference in how my hands feel the next day. You have to do it for a week or two before you can tell the difference but I swear by it now. (It's just a topical analgesic/anti-inflammatory in creme form. I can't take ibuprofen or aspirin or any other OTC stuff like that so this is perfect for me.) | |||||

| As you said, the look of the stamp is different. The most obivious difference is that the kerning is way off---way too much space between the K and the N, for starters. (I used a photo from the Knoll site for comparison.) | |||||
| What Mark said. You might | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| What Mark said. You might want to give a closer look to the shock mounts. That back came off and was put back on for a reason. Also, it's a DCW, not an LCW---not that that matters much in regards to the back rest issue or the repair but it's always a good thing to call a chair by its proper name! DCW (dining chair wood) has longer legs than the L(ounge)CW. Is the gouge a split in the veneer or a scratch? I don't know that it makes any difference, but it might. The wood repair people might need to know. | |||||
| I just got these two today. | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | FLagent | General discussion | |
| I just got these two today. They are both obviously weathered but there is not a major difference between the top and bottom of the chair. Very very grainy. They came as a pair from the same house. Both are summits one has the S in a circle the other has a almost unnoticeable small s with no circle. I would be curious of anyone's idea of a possible production date of these, also I would find it very hard to believe they were collected and assembled at different times. They are equally aged and they did not come from a dealer just a neighborhood garage sale. ... | |||||

| I think I have a shot of the armless version I can post. I have two armless as above and two with arms.My armed version is like the sherbert lime green one in the photo above. I've seen the first advert and my armed chair is different. It's a subtle difference. Look at the blue/green velvet chair above. Do you see how the top of the arms are a bit triangulated toward the top? Then look at photos of the oatmeal upholstered version. Those have arms which are squared off at the top. Those chairs are a match for the red version in the advertisement (except for t ... | |||||
| Starline--that is a good idea | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Starline--that is a good idea to ask Knoll. Though they don't have a link to anyone on their site to go to to verify authenticity! The photo you most recently posted has actually been photohopped! Look how the letters extend past the lower edge of the leg. I suppose they did it because the mark wasn't showing up clearly in the photo (chrome being difficult to photograph). Or maybe the mark was stamped partly off the leg?? Another difference: the mark in question is closer to the end of the leg than the one shown on chairs on the Knoll site. While I ... | |||||
| Starline, I agree with you | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Starline, I agree with you that that's the same white Barcelona chair pictured on both Firma's website and in their 1stDibs listing, but where are you seeing the photo of the incised mark on their website? I don't see a photo of the mark at all. And now I see another difference: the fabric on Vangelis's chair is different than the fabric on Firma's white chair. On the white chair, the upside-down lines alternate with the rightside-up lines and all lines are equidistant from each other. On Vangelis's chair, the lines are in groups of three: two upside-do ... | |||||

| Good approach, Raul. Liberon | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| ... These, however, are particularly nasty and hazardous to use and can remove natural color from the wood. You don't want to hear this, but I'd also recommend sanding up through the grades to 600P before applying a final finish. Especially on areas that will receive the most handling. It will make a difference. Bon chance! | |||||

| In reply to SDR, and without wanting to derail the thread too much, Renzo Piano *has* designed furniture and lighting! Quite a bit in fact, for companies like Fontana Arte, Riva and iGuzzini. To my mind, it doesn't look anything like his buildings- there's a world of difference between the Pompidou Centre and his wooden chair for Riva, for example- but does exemplify his sensitivity to, and appropriate use of materials, and his desire to render an object in its most appropriate form. | |||||
