	Of the two chairs	1 Relevance	13 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Of the two chairs shown here, I notice differences -- but don't see one as superior to the other. Are either exactly like earlier HM production ? What may look like a black cap to the terminal of the spine rod is probably just a flat-cut and polished, plated end. These parts are solid rod, not tube, after all. Wasn't the original frame cut at an angle at this terminal ? Personally, I prefer the look of the flattened and drilled ends of the cross-bar in the first chair, over those in the second; I somehow think they are more nearly correct, as well . . .

	More photos Post more photos of the chair from different angles. This looks like it could possibly be Vitra production, though I am not extremely familiar with all of the details/differences from HM production. Vitra uses black glides.
	LCA	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	LCA Thanks for adding more pics, but I'm afraid that I do not have anything definitive for you. Here is what I can say with relative certainty. It is in no way a Wormley design. I thought it could be Adrian Pearsall and I still would not rule that out entirely, but there are differences in construction that are unlike any Pearsall design I've seen. Despite what Lost City Arts might suggest, I am fairly certain that it is not Scandinavian in origin. The construction of the legs and frame are not refined enough and the exposed bolts and lap joints suggest Am ...

	... differences. The gamut of his design choices consistently surprises me. For example, many designers can be identified by their drawer handles (e.g. Vodder, Hvidt & Mølgaard, Nils Jonsson, Aksel Kjersgaard), but Aasbjerg uses at least three main styles. The same for legs. A Mogensen case piece has specific legs. Aasbjerg has at least three or four known styles. He was very eclectic as a designer. Is there any indication in the catalog that the pieces are solid teak? One thing that jumped out at me about the 1960 catalog was that some of the case pieces ...

	I suppose it depends on your... I suppose it depends on your local CL, as there are a lot of differences from one locale to the next, but my experience is that the real deals require hard work. Anyone can set up a push RSS feed and get an alert 30 seconds after someone posts an ad with certain keywords in it. Couple that with the ease with which the sellers can search eBay and get an idea for the value of their item, and it (in my opinion) seriously limits the usefulness of keyword searches. If you really want the good stuff, and you want it cheap, you sho ...

	... into "light scuptures". The lamps are made of mulberry wood paper ("mino") which is hand produced in Gifu. In 1952, he produced the first series of his Akari lamps. Note well that Ozeki only produced the shade. Because of the differences in electric standards throughout the world. The local importers of the lamps would supply the electrical parts. The Noguchi lamps began to arrive in the USA in 1979 and were imported by George Kovacs in New York who presumably supplied the electrical parts. Later Noguchi had a disagreement with Kovacs and then for a peridod ...
	I can't afford $2-3K for a chair either,	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	... has bothered to compare all the knockoffs to the original of this chair and documented the differences. That's kind of a lot of work, and for what? To help sell the better quality knockoffs, if they exist? Maybe there's another forum somewhere where people have done that and have spreadsheets about it and stuff. I dunno.
	I would not do anything to the wood.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I would not do anything to the wood. Ebonizing will still let some of the grain pattern through but it will be black. If it were my home, I'd figure out where to place this and the chair so they don't clash. (Or just get used to the differences next to each other---it's surprising how your feelings can change even over a short period.)
	Similar to Omni	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	Similar to Omni .. but I don't think it is. Details are off. The shelf brackets are not the same, the cabinet pulls and hardware, even the rubber ceiling protectors don't look right. There are a few different generations of Omni, but that unit has too many differences for me to think it's Omni. You might try looking at Rakks and ISS, both very similar to Omno and CSS, but later.

	Definitely chrome. In... Definitely chrome. In addition to extended armrests, there are quite a few other differences to the authorized Knoll version (three of which I coincidentally have in my office), including: recessed allen head socket screws for frame connection vs welded, flat ends to sled vs. curved, an exposed front rail under the seat. I am guessing that all of these modifications (and certainly others I haven't yet noticed), allowed Thonet to avoid copyright infringement. The question for me is how respectable are these vintage Thonets perceived t ...

	... his father was Managing director. The new Pastoe book'Pastoe,100 years of design innovation',2013 and the recent Pastoe Exhibition had no reference to your chair. It looks like Braakman but there is enough different with it if it was made by someone else to fight a copyright law suit(I listed the differences in my prior message). There are a number of articles in 'Goed Wonen' of the 1960s about copies of famous designs. I think the description should be 'In the style of Cees Braakman and A Dekker'
	That price is about right for one	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	That price is about right for one in very good condition. If you see one in the thousands, then no, someone is smoking something. They're not reproduction chairs. They were period knockoffs, which is something different. Reproductions that you see today are copied down to the last detail in appearance. OK, yeah, someone well versed in Eames lounges can always spot the fake but the average guy on the street can't. Plycraft chairs, on the other hand, have very obvious differences. They weren't trying to be exact copies, they were just a less expensive ch ...

	... gains any real patina, of course. It is very special to find a piece with original fabric still in nice condition. Pegboard Modern, I just read over your post again and wow! I'm pleased to hear that such a thing is possible. I also took a bit more time to think about your reference to the differences between breathable fabric and vinyl/leather. It makes a lot of sense that many vinyl and leather examples have held up well with regard to the foam. I have had my eye on a nicely worn egg chair, though was not sure about the condition of the foam. I suppose th ...
	"matching" chair colors	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	... greens, rather than a bunch of any one color. Once in a while you will get "lucky" and hit a match, but more often than not you will be pleasantly surprised at how different they are. Color is relative, and subtle differences are hard to detect until you put them next to each other. Then it becomes obvious. Depends on how hard you look. There are exceptions. For instance, the later red-orange chairs SEEM very consistent from chair to chair. Black chairs with very little wear are also very consistent in color. (which surprises me, as black is a color that ve ...
	... and the last two in the line	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	... and the last two in the line The last chair is also a venice chair. It seems the most likely to be a true "tweener" when viewed in person, but perhaps is simply greige. Photos are not perfect, but at least you can get a feel for the differences. I honestly believe that the "spectrum" continues on both ends of the line too. Just gotta find examples, thats all. Well there goes half the day! In the future I will post photos relentlessly.. Thanks
