| RE: Early Production Hans Wegner Cow Horn Chair? | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | davidhunternyc | General discussion | |
| ... Ottoman. One version does not have the swivel ottoman and the other, even earlier versions, has the swivel ottoman. The swivel ottoman is more valuable. Yes, with the Eames it's a mechanical variation which is substantial but maybe there is something about the Cow Horn chairs that make one more desirable than another. I don't know but trying to learn about the history of this chair is fascinating. Also, what's the difference between a 2 piece or 4 piece backrest? Notice too that the oak chair posted here has a slight "beauty" mark on it compared to the perf ... | |||||

| ... finishes, though. Scuff-sand with fine grit before and between coats to help level and knock off any fuzz or dust particles. The difference is drying or curing time between steps. Typically, oil-based varnishes and paints don't dry as "hard" as lacquer or shellac and take much longer to cure. This is why the introduction of sprayed, lacquer-based finishes was such a boon for mass-manufacturers of wooden furniture. Trying to sand or rub out still-soft finishes prematurely just clogs the paper or metal wool and can leave unsightly, permanent marks. Patience i ... | |||||
| Severin Hansen and Severin Hansen jr. | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | Herringbone | General discussion | |
| ... want to be correct, you have to make a difference here. Hans Severin Hansen (photo) was born 1903 in the Danish town of Thyregod. His father was a cabinetmaker and he became a cabinetmaker, too. When he married his wife Ella Kirstine Risager, they moved to Copenhagen where Severin began working in a business called Onskebo as a cabinetmaker. Soon he startet his own business and called it Mobelsnedkeriet Ravensborg, Severin was making tables, cabinets and other furniture. But under the war and the depression he got into financial trouble, gave up his worksho ... | |||||
| I did a quick Google image | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | lexi | General discussion | |
| I did a quick Google image search and came accross an Eero Aarnio model made by Mobel Italia (circa 1968). The first 4 attached images show details of label ,backrest attachment etc. I also found images of your chair (images 5 and 6). You will notice the differences especially the backrest and seat attachments and the label. Your chair maybe a different model , year of production or manufacturer or possibly your chair is " in the style of " category. Good luck with the search. Regards, lexi | |||||

| Here is a similar design from an Illums Bolighus catalog. The mitred corners and sliding drawer location are very similar. However, differences include: 1) different basket shape, 2) different compartment layout in drawer, and 3) the top corners are not slanted in like yours. No designer or manufacturer attribution is provided. IB rarely (if ever) provided manufacturer info, but designers were often referenced. | |||||
| RE: Kai Kristiansen chairs ? | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | mvc | Identification | |
| @aaronny You know, there is a difference whether you are a young man like Zephyr who is fascinated by MCM and has millions of catalogs at home, or whether you grew up with this furniture like I did and not just have a theoretical relationship with it, but also an emotional, an experienced relationship. Zephyr likes to say that you have to look at everything in historical context, but he can only talk about it in a theoretical way, because he lacks the historical context of personal experience, he's not "at home" in making design himself, and that's why he so ... | |||||

| @mvc Yes, the depth is also 48.5 cm at the lower section. And your observation of the difference in the edges goes to my feeling that the overall quality is of a lower tier. @minimoma Thanks for the reminder about the Ponti archives - an amazing resource I have used in the past but hadn't looked at for this question. I just spent an embarrassing amount of time on there and came away with a couple of observations. First, the archives include photos of the Domus Nova collection (which included a dining room, family room and two bedrooms) and the only coff ... | |||||
| RE: Eames Lounge Chair Replacement Shock Mounts Comparison | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | tktoo2 | Repair | |
| @peterschair Simple geometry suggests that this situation could only result if the new shock mounts are substantially thicker than the originals (if, as you said, the glue film thickness is minimal). did you remove all of the old glue residue from the routed recesses? That might make a difference, too. Seems like the only remedy is the least attractive one. Ouch. My condolences. FTR, I've had to re-glue almost a dozen of these on a set of DCMs that I bought new in 2000. In my case, though, the mounts all popped off clean and intact so it was a (not so) strai ... | |||||

| Yes, that was just teak oil | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Yes, that was just teak oil with no added color and #0000 steel wool. I was pretty shocked myself that that's all it took. You can always try it on your chairs and see how they look, then move on from there with sanding if you are set on keeping the set. Alternatives would be to look for a lighter set of chairs and sell your darker ones, or look for a darker table, or just get used to the look...? I have ended up doing that last one with quite a few things that looked rather jarring at first but over time I stopped even noticing the differences. | |||||
| Well, these chairs very much | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Herringbone | Identification | |
| Well, these chairs very much resemble the J46 chairs Volther designed for FDB - but there are slight differences and it is not evident at all that it was Volther who made the changes for Farstrup. I think it's not unlikely that some inhouse designer just took the very successful J46 design and made some minor corrections in order to sell it as a Farstrup chair. Would that make it a Volther design? I'm not sure. | |||||

| Rosewoods can be very hard to tell apart, so with only photos to go on I will take your word for it. It is great that you put in the time to learn the differences. And you are always right to doubt any design credit floating around the internet for which you have never seen proof. It is extremely easy for one small time dealer to have decided they look like Kai Kristiansen and advertise them as such, and then everyone follows along, until you hit the point where everyone says it so it must be true. And sometimes it is and sometimes it is not. Danish teak p ... | |||||
