	My blurry iPhone pic is not showing these 3 small details:	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	My blurry iPhone pic is not showing these 3 small details: 1) it is fH, not FH, i.e It is a lower case f paired with an upper case H. Fritz Hansen is FH. 2) the top of the f connects with the top of the H, but the small middle line for the f never physically connects with the first letter. It is only attached to the left side of the H. 3) the mark is branded. Fritz Hansen marks are usually in ink. This is what Fritz Hansen's markings look like, the difference is subtle but there:
	Tough call	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... that your entire set does not need to be restored. If you have the chairs returned to like new condition, I'd think they look odd next to your table with the original finish. Even if the table is in excellent condition, the rilsan will likely have yellowed a bit or changed slightly with age (it's common and I personally like the more mellow eggshell color of a vintage Saarinen piece to the bright white of new). The difference might bother you, it might not. If it was me, my eye would be constantly drawn to the contrast between the table and restored chairs. ...

	... else has just for the sake of being special is what excludes others. It's quite selfish if you ask me, to want to keep good design from the masses when the only difference in them and us is a matter of expendable income. Is it special because you (the universal you) have it and your neighbor doesn't or is it special because it is good design? You have to define "special" and what it means to you. A main proponent of modernism is good, mass produced design. Isnt that the very thing that makes people consider the early Thonet chairs (of traditional lines) to ...
	New game	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... in very good condition. The other's a more recent example (less than 10 years old) with average wear. I think that it's obvious which is which, and I think that side by side, I'd rather have the vintage stool any day. I probably pay a little more for the vintage as well. But unless you see them next to one another, I think that the recent production is quite handsome and well worth having (unlike some other recent production versions of classic designs). The greatest difference to me is that originally I think they used an oil finish on the stools where now ...
	side by side!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	side by side! I found a photo on the Herman Miller site that was taken from the same angle as one of the pics of the fake chair. The most obvious difference is the curve of the shell on the ottomans. Another is the placement of the base on the chair. It's closer to the back of the chair on the real one than on the fake. The spider on the fake ottoman looks too big, as does the head rest.
	Who cares, good for her.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	Who cares, good for her. I enjoy helping people ID truly "good" finds. And likewise, people here have helped me with things I couldn't ID, and for that I am thankful. She made an effort to research her chair before she asked for more help, which makes a difference.

	Relax, Jessica. Anyone in the market for a pre-production chair will know the difference between it and what Sinwonderland is selling. Breathe.

	I recently purchased an Omni... I recently purchased an Omni unit, 8 posts, white shelves, double length wood shelves, 2 thick glass shelves, and thin, white cabinets that collapse, and lots of extra hardware; almost 16' in length. I am thinking this unit is very early because of the construction of the cabinets. It looks very much like the units in that old photo showing the Omni as a kitchen. Does anyone know the difference between the various generations and more about the evolution of Omni. Thanks in advance, Rick
	Knock-off!!!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	Knock-off!!! That label was removed from a vintage Eames fiberglass chair, and just stuck on that reproduction lounge. The leather and button placement on the cushions are off, they are too close together. Compare with how real cushions and buttons are supposed to look like. The top chair is the chair in that eBay listing, the bottom chair is the authentic Herman Miller. See the difference in button placement and leather?:

	Grammar aside, I have been... Grammar aside, I have been informed that the screw holes measure 6" apart. It is clearly either an LCM or DCM back, as the seller informed me it did not fit his LCW. I'll be measuring my chair for comparison this weekend. Can anyone tell me the difference in length and height for the LCM and DCM backs. Thanks in advance.....or should I say Thank you....;-)
	Nice lamp but probably not Stilnovo	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Gustaf	General discussion
	Nice lamp but probably not Stilnovo Stefan, I don't recognize the lamp in your photo, but comparing it to the one metking posted shows a difference in form, execution and attention to detail that to me is quite telling. Yours may still be Italian, but I personally doubt that it's Stilnovo (or Arredoluce).

	... do with the price you will get. You can ask anything, what you will get is another story. Craigslist buyers have a certain price expectation, eBay buyers another. If you can get a reputable auction house to sell it, you might realize a better price, but you will of course have to give them a commission. You location can even make a difference. If you are selling locally, the relative demand and the local market can vary greatly. If you are not in an area that has a strong market for mid-century, you have to factor in shipping and the associated cost. I thin ...
	But seriouslY	1 Relevance	17 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	But seriouslY Freeski. Being honest, not every item you see has a "designer" attached to it. Like the difference between a shirt from Wal-Mart and a "designer" shirt. The Wal-Mart shirt would just be labeled some random company name. The "designer" shirt would say something like "Calvin Klein." So basically your basic, run of the mill, not special product is nameless, in terms of a single person who designed it. It's usually just a team put together within the company hired to put together mediocre, cheap versions of what they think popular culture at the ti ...
	jef your chair is authentic	1 Relevance	17 years ago	maniqz	General discussion
	jef your chair is authentic i can see a hint of a zipper hiding behind the leather piping. fakes would just staple the piping to the leather. i have had a fake and sat on the real one. i see no distinct difference, they're all comfortable. but if you have that tendency to recline to relax, go with a repro because the real one does not recline. what scares me nowadays are the fakes made in china, they have copied the original up to the minute detail, the only difference is the leather and cushion. just my 2 cents.
