| Material & Design = FEEL | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| ... call it asymmetric information. But that is just fancy talk for knowing more than the other person. That said, the difference between fake and authentic usually comes down to two things, Material and design. Material: When Arne designed a chair, he did not skimp on material. The solid aluminum base (will not rust, is not chrome so will not peel). The fact that you can "spin" in an egg chair at least 10 times without touching the ground. If there is wood, what type is it? Pine = crap in most instances. redwood? Cherry? walnut? Now we are talking. FABR ... | |||||

| Fastfwd Thanks for clearing that up. I looked a the link you sent (thanks) and found another one on ebay that more closely resembles the one I have. The only difference I can detect is that mine has the screws visible. The arms on this one are more like mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/eames-lounge-chair-and-ottoman-herman-miller-rosewoo... | |||||
| Thanks for the legal lecture, Olive | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| Thanks for the legal lecture, Olive but in this case, I'm not certain how necessary it was. I was discussing the probably quality difference, not the legal one. But, I guess for most, Sunday IS the day for preachin'. | |||||
| Dear Olive, | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear Olive, I was "on tour" so I missed the start of the discussion. I do not want to change your mind (who could or would) but I am on de side of SDR. No matter how english the stain, the piece has been designed in two different woods. No matter the stain, the absorption of the different woods will be different. I would not do it simply because the difference will be less, but not gone. | |||||
| Not mine | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Lenox | General discussion | |
| Not mine This was going be a craigslist flip for someone. Initially, I thought that they were a cross between Mccobb's fiberglass chair and a Saarenin like base. I am clear as to the difference between the two. Sometimes items come about that puzzle me like Woodward sculptura patio furnture and knockoffs. Not everything seems to be readily categorized on google images and attributions are made by either individual assumption or dealers and the story plays out indefinitely. Thank you for your attribution to this thread whitespike, in that, it is inspiring ... | |||||
| Olive... | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| Olive... It only stands to reason that you would prefer originals to reproductions regardless of scale. You are a person of exquisite taste blessed with a keen sense of proportion, scale, massing and elegance of line, texture, color and form in the function of service. 🙂 Vive la difference! | |||||
| Gustaf | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| Gustaf I have a pair of side chairs in yellow and the Knoll yellow vinyl seat cushions make a world of difference in terms of comfort. They are perfectly appropriate and swell; you don't need leather...the vinyl seat cushions look high-end. (Make sure you get real Knoll cushions; the cheap copies look and feel cheap!) | |||||
| But it must be tested | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| But it must be tested Olive, I agree that the Aluminum group look has been co-opted by boardrooms - but this is one of those instances where trying the chair out might make a huge difference. Everyone who sees mine for the first time says "why do you have an office chair in your living room" and then tries it and falls in love. Even my own 'hubs, who basically despises all of my furniture and dreams of living in a Federalist townhouse likes it. But other than that there are very few decent classic swivel chairs. Eames 670, Jacobsen's Egg, Mulhauser's Mr. ... | |||||
| I actually have no problem | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| I actually have no problem with that. I doubt Arne Jacobsen was that specific. As long as they're keeping the same quality style, what's the difference? Are these lamps supposted to be vintage antique or should they move with the times? People like more colorful desk lamps, these days. | |||||
| Product vs. method | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Product vs. method The Eames' chairs reflect a method of working that is much different than the Thonet method. Thonet was in the business of producing products - lots of products. Their main innovation - the mass production of steam bending beechwood - was a hundred years behind them at the time of the Eames chair release. The Eames were designing a way of sitting. The Eames plywood chair isn't simply about making a chair - it's about making the most comfortable chair, with the least amount of material, and for (in theory) the least amount of money. And ... | |||||
| other model.. | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | mike.poller | General discussion | |
| other model.. ok, I think you see the difference. This Polaroid isn´t restored. Its only provisionally fixed to stabilize the construction. For my opinium you have a later model ?! Polaroid learned very fast, because the polarizer is now separated. The radius and the dimension of your glass looks ok !! But, I have noticed something above the metalframe (screws) ? The Question is: why ? May the glass of your Polaroid isn´t in right position ? Let´s discuss...Rgds | |||||
| woodywood | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| woodywood It's not just firmness, though. Latex has a resiliency that poly-foam just can't match. I've got some polyfoam that is so firm that it's like sitting on a brick, almost. It's still nothing like latex foam. I'm not even sure how to describe the difference but it's very easy to tell by feel. | |||||

| Keep the concrete...use rugs | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Keep the concrete...use rugs Small humans are only small for a short time, your house will last much longer. Doesn't make any sense to design a house around a situation that lasts only a year or so. Just adapt when you need to. And kids bounce just as well off of concrete as they would off of any other hard surface. The difference between hardwoods and concrete won't be that big to them...they don't have far to fall anyhow. Lots of people have children with concrete floors. Indestructibility is a good thing! | |||||
| That's maple for sure. They... | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | donsof | General discussion | |
| That's maple for sure. They... That's maple for sure. They used a lot of Canadian maple at Winchendon. I thought the legs were maple as well, but its really hard to tell the difference between the two. Heywood Wakefield was mostly all birch, so if you study the grain of that stuff, you will start to notice the way the maple grain looks. The maple will wear down sandpaper much faster... if you get that into it. | |||||
