	I also have a small bedroom...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	gene	General discussion
	I also have a small bedroom... I also have a small bedroom and only wanted to use one nightstand -- mine came in a pair but I found another use for the second (not much difference between a nightstand and an end table). I don't know why, but finding a really nice full-size mid-century bed was far more difficult than any other piece of furniture, in my experience. I would have loved a Nelson bed but they go for such a lot. I came across a number of Wegner twin size beds, and some king size, but finding a double bed was a challenge. Eventually I stumbled ...

	I can point you in the right... I can point you in the right direction....while I am all on for choice and Im aware everyone has their own sense of taste and style I would urge you to rethink your choice in furniture here. For a start its repro which in essence means worthless shite. If you want to have antiques in your house then why not take the slightly harder but far more rewarding route of actually going to "genuine" antique shops and buying lovely old pieces. The patina in an old piece is just so infinitely more beautiful that that of its repro cousins ...
	bj, yes I had to do some work...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	tchp	General discussion
	... used a tube of Ivory Black artist's oil tube paint, mixed with some clear lacquer that I had bought in a can. By adjusting the amount/density of the oil paint I mixed with the lacquer, I could get a different level of sheen to the paint, and was able to match things up well enough that I could not see any difference. Lacquer dries very fast, so I also added a few drops of lacquer thinner to help slow the dry time as I brushed it out. It also worked well for re-touching.
	Bertoia Side Chairs	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Orleans USA	General discussion
	... Bertoia side chair and was turned off. In my opinion the new ones are now (for lack of a better word) "sporty" looking and not as timeless. If you compare the curves, wire gauge, and connections of the vintage chair and current-day chair, you'll notice a big difference. I guess you can even go as far as contrasting the typical modern person today versus the typical modern person of the 1950-60's. Today's modern person is more sporty than 60's modern person. I've had too much coffee this morning:) I guess that's why I'm a midcentury enthusiast!
	Fakes and ethics part 2	1 Relevance	16 years ago	tick	General discussion
	... by the consumer. And just because something is out of copyright, is that a good enough reason to copy a designer's work? I believe that it is very much a question of ethics when someone decides to ripoff a designer's IP in order to make a quick buck. A recent batch of fake Kartell floating around Australia is a a case in point. Ethics also come into play when fakes are sold as originals to newbie collectors. This situation happens frequently in online auctions. There is of course a big difference in a re- edition made under license vs. a crappy copy. Fakes ...

	Thanks for that info -- very... Thanks for that info -- very interesting. I have been under the misconception that these pieces are Hoglund for a long time, but in doing some Google searching it does seem these are Gunnar Ander piece. I guess that would explain the difference in style. Now I am wondering about my chandelier (also have a matching candelabrum). I've only seen this piece attribued to Hoglund but it is more modernist in style than his other chandeliers -- also Gunnar Ander?
	shade for higher	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Rayon	General discussion
	shade for higher Perhaps a long cylinder might cover too much of the lamp's neck?. I feel a horizontally wide shade with a 2 inch difference from top to bottom. This will modernize the look of the lamp, bring it up to date.
	*	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	* My Knoll Barcelona chairs have a slightly different strap-to -stainless screw head than do the Knoll Barcelona ottomans that I purchased a few years later. A very slight difference, however. I also think that the earliest versions had a thinner cushion design..but I have no reference. And weren't the original versions manufactured in brass or bronze? Carry on.

	staples thanks,the seats are stapled on not woven,does this make a difference to the aesthetic niceness of the chairs?
	I got the book as you said...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	adamfowler	General discussion
	I got the book as you said... I got the book as you said in the other thread but it doesn?t have instructions for the wishbone. The wishbone is different then other chairs of the same basic weave as the front and back rails are lower then the side rails and the front of the chair is rapped rather then woven to the sides. This slight difference makes the chair completely different and the book useless which is way I started a new thread. I need help, I?m not afraid of a difficult project but I do need advise as to where to start. Thanks for your advice th ...
	Marketing means jack	1 Relevance	16 years ago	jennocide	General discussion
	... in technology somehow won't move forward w/out it looking great? That's pretty silly. Considering techology of the future isn't something you can see/feel/touch. It's NOT design! Design is at the flat-end bottom of the spectrum. Macs are great for internet and anything super basic. That is what they are...basic machines for basic technology understanding. I absolutely agree that almost all my peers (33yrs old+) who haven't had computers since the first iterations, care about nothing other than marketing. Mac has a new commercial on tv, they drone themselves ...
	bureau ..	1 Relevance	16 years ago	ite (BE)	General discussion
	bureau .. wow, such a massive difference for a tiny word in different countries ! In Dutch the word "bureau" is very widely used (so it does not give you any information at all). It can mean as much as : 1.) = office desk (of any form really, can even be a basic dining table used as a work space) 2.) = office space (e.g. room in your house used as an office) 3.) = organisational, as the "B" in F.B.I. 4.) = political, meeting of specific group of members .. I can't believe what a difference in reference a simple word can have, even within key European countri ...

	Mogens Kold is most likely The chairs have a vital difference from moller chairs as the side rails are square instead of rounded. What this means is that you can not get the cords pulled as tight over the entire siderail as the central flat face prevents this. knowledge that MOLLER have and which is why I say the chairs are MK. The chairs are not worth much more than £50 - £75 pr chair compared to the £150 - £200 for the correct moller chair. Rule of thumb with LAURITZ - They will neglect to tell you anything negative in order to maximise the amount someone ...
