| Can someone tell me...a ? for the purists... | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | deedee9:14 | General discussion | |
| ... otherwise. Anyway, my question was...for those purists out there who want to buy an original...would you consider a period produced piece from say the era of the designer's life to be better than a piece still being produced today by a company like Knoll? If you're trying to "keep it real" does this mean buying a modern version is in any way different from a period original? What would you expect to be the difference in cost anyway? | |||||

| It looks to me like the Volther/Frem table, but with a cane instead of teak lower shelf (which strikes me as a reasonable optional version of the table). Aside from that what difference is there? | |||||
| RE: Who designed it first ? | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | Andersen | General discussion | |
| Interesting; I agree these are nice desks. For some reasons, the one from Wegner I like it the most. Both Mogensen and Wegner are still produced these days, but there is a substantial price difference between the two. Cheers | |||||
| RE: Oak + Teak & Oak Lounge Chairs to Identify | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | lexi | Identification | |
| @joshua-championship. The closest I can find ,for the chair on the right, is the "Janus" chair by Kurt Ostervig, for Jason Mobler. The only difference I can find, based on the single pic you have posted, is the shape of the top of the armrests where it meets the backrest.

| ... live by just for the purpose of creating and enforcing group behaviors. I hope that mankind survives long enough to reach a state where acceptance of difference becomes possible. I would have to say that in my experience that you are corrrect in noting that designers/architects/artists or any other creatives are often non religious simply because the act of creating means that you must discard that which came before and attempt to create anew. Creating also expresses, in my view, an ego, a confidence in the mere mortal self, that is unappreciated in organiz ... | |||||

| ... is an important one and I have no respect for using all the loop holes taht one can find in all legislation. I am not highly skilled in law, but I to could find the proper loop hole to re-protect some classics under the copyright law and some even under the design patent act.In my opinion we should abstain from it just out of respect for the rightful intentions of the law. I find that there is a difference between being "smart" and being "right". As to the motivations of inventors and designers, I must say that I understand the logic, but I have rarely seen ... | |||||

| ... to the original design, meet or exceed HM/Vitra build quality, offer a finer softer leather (Anilina) in many more colors, and still cost $1000 less than HM and Vitra. Here is the problem. For every one of these Fine Italian Manufacturers, there are ten Assembly line plants, pumping out "Charles Eames Rosewood Lounge Chairs", alongside their Ikea line. Price alone can be your guide to identify the HM/Vitra's versus the really crappy Chinese knock offs. If it's $5,000 it's an HM/Vitra, if it's $500, it's a Chinese knock off. But when it comes to the price ... | |||||

To Annette, thanks for the info on the table, can I be one of your friends? My parting comments on the 2 tables were a bit tongue in cheek, showing my frustration at the small amount of practical advice on the forum, though I am still interested in the Noguchi table and may well purchase one. It was a pleasure to be served at Heals, which has a very long history of simple contempor ... | |||||

| RE: Can you make sense of this mark? | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | jbrajo | Identification | |
| I was perhaps right. There is a (missing) bridge between the lower deeper cabs and the uppers. That one is a very glossy varnish. The one I was looking at had more of an oiled looking finish which makes an aesthetic world of difference. Danish modern it is not. | |||||
| RE: Tight Drawers | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | mark737 | Repair | |
| @lexi Thanks, and I figured that title might help get some responses, though I wasn't sure if it was an Americanism that wouldn't translate. I did try beeswax already but that did not do it. The sides of the drawers are clearly rubbing the sides of the cabinet so it needs some sort of spreading of the cabinet, or reduction of the drawer width. I'll try sanding down the sides to see if that makes a difference but am open to other suggestions. | |||||
| Isn't Herman Miller's current LCW a knockoff as well? | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| ... -- of the LCW. This assumption is false, I think. Compare an original LCW (ie, one made between, roughly, 1946 to 1957 or so, when HM stopped making them) with one of the current HM LCWs (re-made beginning in 1994, I think). There are some significant differences. First, the veneering on the current ones are just OFF. The new chairs, especially the ones in ash, look cheap. Many of you know much more about veneering than I do, so may be able to explain this better. But to my eye, the veneering on the new ones just look cheap and hastily done, with litt ... | |||||
| I would have to agree | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | AC04 | General discussion | |
| I would have to agree I would have to agree that the Arkana versions, certainly the side table, but it applies in general, are very different from the Knoll versions. I bought the Knoll side table and two of the Tulip chairs but I also picked up an Arkana Rosewood dining table for an absolute bargain and a white coffee table for a reasonable price. The Arkana versions are significantly different (especially when you start splitting hairs when it comes to design registration disputes) they lack the refinement and grace of the knoll tables. Quality wise there ... | |||||
| Let me try this again... | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Let me try this again... Let's disregard for a moment what is done in schools design, re-design or styling, and look at it from a perspective of the educational program. If you want people to learn how to re-design, i.o.w. how to futher develop existing basic ideas and products, I think that you would include every kind of knowledge that is needed to develop things. If something already exists it obviously has reached a certain level of functionality, it is producable and fits in the existing culture. The tools that a person needs to re-design these existing ... | |||||
