	3- dots	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	... above stated dots and symbol. There seems to be no clear info that sets this one apart from the typical 3-dot shell, so at this point it seems most logical to assume that it is just another variation of the 3rd generation Zenith. 54-55-56 was going to be my best guess, but you say they are on H bases? Do the H bases have the metal swivel glides from 1956? Because of the H bases, maybe the symbol came along slightly after the first 3 dot shells? With these transitional shells the dates always seem to draw a lot of difference of opinion. The mystery persist ...
	You're probably using too	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	You're probably using too heavy a vinyl. Vinyl comes in many weights and with varying degrees of stretch. I've never redone a Plycraft in vinyl but I've done a few other things and realized what a difference the weight makes. You must also stretch and staple the right way, otherwise you'll end up with ripples. Tack the vinyl at the midpoint on one long side, then stretch it taut and tack on the other side. If you're happy with this, continue adding a few staples on either side, stretching and smoothing as you go. On the straight edges, stretch the vinyl ...

	I am bringing this post back ... I am bringing this post back from the dead. diors, were you ever able to identify the maker of this table? I have a table with the exact same legs, brace, and a matching bench. The original owner said they purchased it from Heal's in London in 1952. It has the same Made in Sweden stamp on the bottom. Only difference is a Teak Slat Top.

	I live in the UK too and ... I live in the UK too and have 2 chairs with identical markings indicating a Cincinatti Milacron shell as previously suggested; mine are date stamped 1976. The difference is that mine are upholstered in Alexander Girard fabric and have an office style base as pictured in the post above, but with castors. I purchased them for dirt cheap at a second hand store around the time when four footed and four wheeled swivel chairs were banned from the UK workplace (late 90's or early 2000's, I can't remember exactly). My suspicion is that a ...

	Not sure if its Tapiovaara	1 Relevance	13 years ago	DHutch17	General discussion
	Not sure if its Tapiovaara Not sure if its Tapiovaara. A lot of stuff gets misattributed to him. Folke Palsson did some very similar work for FDB Mobler that you may want to research. I once had a Tapiovaara mademoiselle chair (that I'm still a little sore about selling) and it was very clearly marked Edsby-Verken and even signed "Mademoiselle" on the bottom. The main difference that I see between Tapiovaara and Palsson is the bent plywood seat. Palsson's are thicker and heavier looking underneath, while Tapiovaara are thinner and have reinforcement for the ...

	New question	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Killian	General discussion
	New question It turns out the smaller wires that are welded to the front thicker gauge wire are welded and finished on the top side on two chairs and welded and cut on the bottom side on four of the chairs. Has anyone ever seen a difference in genuine Knoll chairs where one is welded top and one is welded bottom ? See below images to illustrate
	Caveat	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	Caveat What objectworship said it true, and while we did not notice any difference in the feel or performance of the fabric when we had items upholstered with the "back" side up, that does not mean that there were functions or aspects of the fabric which we did not recognize. For example, the "front" of the fabric could have been treated with some stain resistant material when it was manufactured. While we did not experience any problems, please don't blame me if you reverse your fabric and some issue arrises.
	Surely	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Surely Surely there' s a huge difference between overpricing an item and misrepresenting an item? Pricing is up to the seller and buyer, whereas misleading the buyer is a different matter altogether, and the point of the thread?
	More black shells!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	DaveW	General discussion
	... from? I think they are magnificent and very unusual. The unstained edges make all the difference compared to the new Vitra one which is now available. They have proved to be unbelievably hard to find out any info and through hours of browsing i have found another lucky owner. Hopefully you still check the posts as i would like to hear from you.

	These are Hovmand Olsen for M... These are Hovmand Olsen for Mogens Kold. The correct back is laminated bent teak wood. There are actually two different versions of this chair. The primary difference is in how the back connects. On some, like yours, the joint is vertical-ish (very similar to the Møller 71 that Hovmand Olsen designed). On others the joint is horizontal at the top of the leg (similar to the Møller 75). Selig advertising can be found showing the horizontal joint version (mentioning AHO as designer). And I've never seen a horizontal joint ch ...
	Zafari	1 Relevance	13 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Zafari I don't understand why this makes you so upset. It seems to me that if you see something for sale that you want, but the price is set unrealistically high for the reasons you describe, you can simply explain to the seller the difference between a $2400 Ebay listing and a $2400 Ebay sale, make a realistic offer, and leave your contact information. One of three things will happen: 1. He'll find a buyer less knowledgeable than you and sell him the chair for $2400. In that case, you simply weren't willing to pay what the chair was worth; no big deal. 2. ...
	It's slightly different from mine	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Orleans USA	General discussion
	It's slightly different from mine I can say that my Bertoia side chair is 100% authentic. I have the purchase order numbers from when they were purchased from knoll international in the late 70's and late 80's. The difference with your Bertoia is that the perimeter wire is welded above the wires that run "left to right" and above the perimeter wire on top of the chair. On my side chairs, this is true only where the back of your legs rub again the chair when in the seated position. The left, right, and top of the chair has the thicker perimeter wire under the ...

	... haven't already, try a vintage chair and you'll see the difference. Some people swear by all down and feathers, but I find the well worn foam cushion or half and half more comfortable. As far as cutting corners, there've been many production changes in these chairs over the years and I personally like mostly everything on the vintage ones more, from the leather, shock mounts, glides, spacers, to the cushion clips. Though I must agree the white leather on white ash is sexy, good luck on keeping it clean. Just a reminder if you buy vintage, triple check the s ...
