| I think there are a bunch of differences that are more significant than the core material. the knobs are different, thicker on yours, thin-edged on the real one the drawer bottoms on yours are white melamine, wood on the original the drawer runners are applied strips of wood on yours, cut out channels on the real one drawer fronts are dovetailed on the real thing and separate boards fixed to cheaper wood on yours the bottom on yours is not teak as on real one the overall width is just 10" shorter but it still has 3 drawers--I think a "compact version" would ... | |||||

| ... the finishing and the overall quality of the brown patina (which looks original) indicates to me that someone went to some effort and took care with the surface. A quality casting will have a consistent wall thickness throughout and few, if any, repairs to voids or thin areas. You can get a sense of this by tapping on different areas with a fingernail or a chopstick, or something, and listening for differences. It gets more involved the bigger the castings are, of course. Artists typically contract foundries to cast their work in bronze. In the US, there we ... | |||||
| Josh, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Vintage Rod | General discussion | |
| Josh, I'm curious whether you ever learned more about your table? I realized tonight that I have a table like it. I was also comparing to the Henning Kjaernulf, and noted a couple very minor differences. The one you noted regarding the apron . . . but our tables also have a slightly different edge profile on the table top. Most Kjaernulf tables I found have an angled edge, where ours is evenly rounded. Just prior to discovering this thread, I did locate one with our characteristics that was marked Vejle Stolefabrik, made in Denmark. It also had a "33" stamp ... | |||||

| It's not by Arne Hovmand Olsen. The wood is stained-something, not teak, and the armrests are completely different. I looked around online for the real thing and found four others, all differing in frame design and with other little differences here and there. I have no idea which one is authentic, if indeed any of them are. All are listed as AHO designs, though! Interesting... I'll stick yours in first, for ease in comparison. | |||||

| Simon,To pile on here,... Simon, To pile on here, there are production differences between early chairs and later chairs, supposedly this coincides with a fire at the factory in 1971-72. Edit: the story is that this also coincides with the change from metal labels to stamps. Can you confirm this information at the source? I outlined this here: http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th... | |||||

| looks very similar to . . . Bernard Pedersen and Son, model #142, although there appear to be some subtle differences from the given photos. I have a BPS #188 credenza in teak and have been very happy with it over the years. Here is a good DA thread for further info. In this thread is also a link to a good BPS historical website. http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th... | |||||

| Your chairs could certainly... Your chairs could certainly be the Yugo ones. However, I have seen a few chairs of the same overall design except for some small detail differences. I recently had a very similar chair to yours. At a glance, the two main differences are the seat cushion support (strap vs spring loops) and radius connections between the legs and "ski" armrests. My chair had "Made in Denmark" stamped in red on almost every piece and had hidden keyhole joint knockdown construction. | |||||
| I think one of the most | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I think one of the most significant differences between American "Danish Modern" furniture and real Danish design is that often (NOT always) the frame is made of unturned boards--if that's the right term? I mean that the parts have a rectangular profile, and also the dimensions don't vary much, if at all, from one member to the next. It looks like they started with board sizes and said "ok, let's design a chair out of this stuff" instead of designing the chair and then cutting or turning the wood to the specs of the design. Of course the former method wou ... | |||||

| ... Eames shells! Just last weekend, my local design-addict friend Kin found them on craigslist and kindly passed them along to me at a very reasonable price. The pair of shells are both rope-edged and are on the early thin-legged LAX "domes of silence" bases. What made them a "must have" pair is that one has a the usual checkerboard label, but the other has the later "Venice" red label. (I know, I know…. big deal you say… but there it is) But it gets better! So earliest bases-- but on the very last of the first six original colors (red), and with both early A ... | |||||

| ... easy to miss subtle differences. If you compare your photos to those of an authentic chair from on an authorized dealer's site, you can see the differences. You're lucky in this case because one of your photos was taken from the exact angle as a photo on the DWR site. From this you can see that the back on yours is narrower at the top by a little bit and is straight along the sides whereas the real one has a slight curve to the sides. The curve of the seat kind of flattens out at the sides and it's wider than the seat on the real one. The legs seem to ... | |||||

| Au contraire, niceguy. I can discern quite a bit from those photos. And that is that the upholstery looks very old given that the cambric is woven fabric as opposed to non-woven which is what is what is in use today. And that the upholstery is not a high quality job at all. The staples are not close together, the margins are not even on the sides, and the raw edges of the vinyl were not trimmed back to the staples (you can see them forming rippled bumps under the cambric). In addition to that, there is no cover over the hub where the legs meet under the ... | |||||

| Killian It's quite possible. Unfortunately, I haven't kept close enough track of all the Bertoia side chairs that I've owned to recall all of the differences. Do you know if all of the chairs are about the same age? Is the type of mounting hardware the same on all of the chairs? Here is a recent thread with a different wire configuration. http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th... | |||||

| Hi Posting photos of the chair will help. However, there are only minor differences in the shock mounts and it will probably be somewhat challenging to find vintage shock mounts that are exact replacements. | |||||
