| ... share the appreciation. With an abundance of near absolutes when it comes to buildings and furnishings I find it interesting that there are so many variables at play in making (in our minds) a perfect atmosphere. I think many or all of us would agree on a number of furnishings without much debate; a Florence Knoll credenza, a Nelson CSS, a Wegner chair. It's when things of personality drift in that differences in opinion tend to erupt; photographs, artwork, textiles, collected objects. Ultimately, this leads me to believe that while DAs tend to place a hu ... | |||||

| No. There are lots of differences. The most obvious is that the Jalk for P Jeppesen chair, of which you are thinking, has arms that go clear past the rear leg. | |||||

| FWIW, those labels look like a custom kitchen cabinet maker to me, and not a furniture company. Custom cabinet makers were and still are numerous - mostly making kitchen cabinets in finish/legs/pulls/etc you choose. Your pieces could have been the original kitchen cabinets - moving them to the basement when the kitchen is updated happens all the time. The differences between yours and the Morganton piece are too many to draw any conclusions from, I think. | |||||

| Thanks, lief. Any ideas on the differences in seat angle? My friend suggested that, like the Penguin chair, it is an issue of dining vs. lounge. The Vintage Supply guy said it was in that fixed position originally. | |||||

| If you had a smartphone with you when you went to see the chairs, you could have compared them to Eames shell chairs on the website of an authorized Eames dealer. The shape of the back, the shape of the seat, and the underside of the chair are all very different from an Eames shell chair. Once you get past that initial "OMG, these look like Eames chairs!" reaction, you will begin to see the differences. There are lots and lots of vintage knockoffs of these chairs, so it's essential to learn the differences. (Plus I think it's really fun to compare and con ... | |||||

| The Dansk Quistgaard Ice Bucket | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | dashes | Identification | |
| You know the one, the staved "Viking" one -- is anyone aware of any other similar ice bucket made by anyone else? I found one that looks like the Dansk, but it has several differences. I've searched all over and so far have not yet seen any example of this design being produced by any one else. The one I have is not marked at all, nor is it made of staves -- it's made from one piece of teak, and the lid is also made from one piece (the knob is not separate) and it has a knob instead of the crossbar style on the Dansk one. It's exception ... | |||||

| ... differences in the hinge mechanisms and the legs. It's not marked so I have no idea who actually made the sofa. My parents know nothing about Danish modern furniture. They just happened to see the daybed in their local antique store and thought I would like it...which I do. It's actually a pretty decent Hans Wegner knock-off, IMHO. It's in pretty decent shape too. My only problem with the daybed is the material that it is covered in. It's obviously not the original fabric. I can tell that it has been re-upholstered at least once. Anyhoo, the fabric ... | |||||

| ... Group executive chair. In addition to all the obvious differences (biggest one being the standard issue office chair tilt mechanism under the seat!), the upholstery material is described both as "bonded leather" and, farther down in the description, "bounded leather". Bonded leather is ground up leather scraps that are reconstituted with some kind of bonding agent into sheet goods that are then coated with vinyl or something to give it the look of leather. It doesn't wear well at all. Authentic Eames Aluminum Group chairs are upholstered in Spinneybeck ... | |||||

It would be helpful to me and Yerblues if you could give us the reasons why you think so I find that the quickest and easiest way to compare is to look at photos side by side. In this case, the sofa in question has more differences than similarities to the Japan sofa. They have about the same dimensions and overall aesthetic, but that's about where it ends. There is a Glostrup sofa with six legs but it has loose cush ... | |||||

Just curious if your pair could have been mine at one point. They are an americanization of Kurt Ostervig for Jason chairs: http://www.danish-modern.co.uk/kurt-%C3%B8stervig-for-jason-3/ Note the similarities and subtle differences. | |||||

| Australian blackwood, for example, can look a lot like that. Try looking up chairs by "Fler." You will see that grain on the chairs made of blackwood. An Australian origin, for example, could explain the general danish styling, but the unusual little differences. Koa, guanacaste, monkey pod, mesquite, mimosa, black locust, various acacias all have grain that looks like that more or less. | |||||
| Yeah, that version would seem | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| Yeah, that version would seem to be the most obvious knockoff, due to the multiple differences from the others, including leg profiles. That was one of the reasons for asing if there was any American manufacturer connection with Olsen. Sellers seem to have no problem attaching the Hans Olsen name to anything that resembles this chair design, but usually you see that more with better-known designers. Edit: the above refers to post #10. Also, I saw a couple of online references to Bramin, so maybe they did the larger production version for the export market. | |||||
