| Cool cutlery Are you able to discern a quality difference between the Hackman and Iittala versions of the Citterio 98? It sounds as if you have a wonderful set up. | |||||
| Soap for furniture and cane | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Richard Tanimura | General discussion | |
| Soap for furniture and cane The stuff to use is sold in better furniture stores here. It is pure soap i.e. lye and fat. Not scented and absolutely not normal detergent. They are white flakes. You dissolve them in warm water and let them cool. The result is a thick, white cream. You fine sand the wood, apply the cream with a cloth and then fine sand the surface again after it has dried. I swear, blindfolded, I could feel the difference. You can feel the wood because there is no substance covering the wood any more. Just silky smooth wood. To clean the furnitu ... | |||||

| Follow-up for Simon (or others) Hi Simon, I just stumbled across this old thread, and wondered if you had any reference material or background info for model fd119. This chair is very similar to the more widespread fd109, also by Wanscher. One subtle difference is the angle of the back legs: sloped for 109, straight for the chair shown above (119). I think the back cushion framing may be different as well. I cannot find any references online to fd119, including furnitureindex.dk, which has an abundance of both Wanscher and F&D documented pieces. FD117 by Kin ... | |||||

My last system is still running (bought in 93) very well and still sounds great - units have NEVER been serviced or given me any problems. With regards to the A9 - I have one I'm trying out right now, it sounds great and is super easy to use (best - most reliable - Airplay device I have used). Smooth sound fills my room and the sonic quality is really quite stellar. The only issue is that this isN NOT a speaker if you are looking for detailed i ... | |||||

| ... leather is $14k (other leather going above $16k)! Just thinking about the difference makes me mad. The finest leather in the world, upholstered by the best craftsman can't justify this delta. I have seen other repros well made. For example room&board sells some items (not the Egg) that seem well made. In this spirit I would like to find out who selling repros has a better reputation than others. | |||||
| Seriously? | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| Seriously? Scandiman, even I can tell the difference. The weaving is piss-poor, the top rail is made from at least three pieces of wood, there's a flat spot at the top of each front leg, the front and rear stretchers aren't shaped like the real thing... And I'm not familiar enough with the chair to know, but the overall size and proportions are probably wrong, too. And that doesn't even address the issues that would be immediately obvious in person, like wood quality or structural integrity. | |||||

| Reproductions I came across some wishbone style chairs at a structube store. Can't beleive how identical they look at only $119/chair. If someone was to stick a Hansen label on them, how would you know the difference? http://www.structube.com/en/dining-room/chairs/70001195-denmark | |||||

I know there are some differences in the Herman Miller and Vitra production Eames lounge, most notably the base. I don't know if there is any difference in the US and European production DCM. Any European forum members have hands-on experience with vintage DCMs? | |||||

| Hi... ... in Italy it's officially allowed (since 1941) to reproduce any furniture without having a licence. Actually Cassina is the only one who has the licence for it, but there are since more than fifty years a lot of other italian manufactories. The only difference is that Cassina may sell their products to foreign countries, the other ones not, but ... 🙂 But anyway the market is full of "wrong" reproductions, and it's quite difficult to make it out, because mostly there is no difference regarding the quality. | |||||

Colors were much truer when lighted thus -- and the difference in the direction of the illumination (glowing indirectly overhead on the ceiling, instead of being directed at the floor) was a delight. Another revelation was an opaque cone light hanging very low over a coffee table, another eon ago. And directed downlight onto the dining table -- all of these sources in an otherwise dimly-lit room. Things weren't always as complex as they are today ! | |||||

So.. why pay nearly $4000 for an authorized Saarinen Womb Chair when you can buy a good knock off for $1000? 99.999% of your house guests wont know the difference and if someone spills a milkshake on it, get it cleaned or buy another. Another good example is the licensed Herman Miller Plastic chairs VS. the Modernica fiberglass versions which are actually superior to the licensed versions. | |||||

| I'm about to have a Mickeys Malt and some white-cheese popcorn. Things are a bit tight around here. Maybe if I get a bit tight, it might be alright ? I wonder why the amount of time this furniture was exposed to dampness would make a difference ? Sounds like we have veneer on both sides of the door (I'd be very surprised if not) so that's okay. A twist is most troublesome. Forcing wood into the shape you want, and waiting for the wood elves to wave their wand and make it permanent, is not likely to lead anywhere -- in my experience.
