| Whoa, EH, simmer down now... | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Lunchbox | General discussion | |
| Whoa, EH, simmer down now... I never said there was no differentiation between the colors. In fact my previous post assumed that there were differences from one era or even factory to another. But if you don't think different exposures to the elements over the years has an effect as well you're kidding yourself. Even a set of chairs may age differently as one might get more light one side of the table than another, etc etc... | |||||

| Thoughts- The ottoman and chair are used differently, they may very well show significant differences in wear over time. The hand of the leather is affected by use. Quality control of the hides may not have been terribly precise regarding thickness either. Or in shipping MATCHED sets. Are you positive that the ottoman is upholstered in leather and not Naugahyde? I think Herman Miller had some Nauga-related marketing in the 70s. Naugahyde would be a good durable choice for the ottoman, while using the luxurious top grain leather for the seat/chair. I don't ... | |||||

| ... around with color very early on with the Zeniths, because they had not perfected the color yet. (and yes we cant really know for sure) Whereas I may be a bit more inclined to suggest that they were not ever interested in even finding a "perfect" Sea Foam. I might be inclined to suggest that they ENJOYED the many nuances found in a very quiet and modulated green, and EMBRACED those nuances and differences as a strength, rather than saw finding the perfect color as "problem" to be solved. Admittedly, just another impossible-to-prove guess. AND NOW.... for my ... | |||||

| ... I never said YOU never said that... LOL I said you said that differences were from color batches and age patina, rather than intentional playing around. You did seem to imply that things were more fine tuned and standardized. But if i was wrong, forgive me Lunchbox. And you are correct that proof will be hard to come by. I am interested to hear if any of the others just FEEL one way or another in thier guts, like I do. I feel strongly that they had FUN with colors and made some TWEENERS on purpose... stuff like that. I will say that I believe that at lea ... | |||||
| Art and design have different functions. | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | tick | General discussion | |
| Art and design have different functions. I dosagree that design has such a strong link to art, but saying that, there is much called art that I would consider merely decorative. I would argue that the key differences between art and design is that design is intended to improve function or solve problems whereas art poses questions or creates a disturbance on some level. According to Michael Brady ?The differences between art and design lie not so much in how they look as in what they do?. If you would like to read more of Brady's article see the link below. ... | |||||
| Ok, BUT... | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Ok, BUT... ...the first photo wasn't fuzzy or poorly lit, and though angle and lens distortion can sometimes confuse the issue, the differences here are beyond that. I happen to have a Rastad-Relling Bambi dining chair so I just took a quick photo of the chair from the same angle as the OP's (also not to be contentious but because I love comparing things!). I cropped a screen capture of the OP's photo, for what it's worth. You can see the inside curve made by the back and side is very different, as is the shape of the top. In addition, as SDR said, square l ... | |||||
| usually... | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| usually... Usually there is one way of hanging which will make the little differences in spacing less noticed. But as was mentioned above, you cant possibly know what will look best until you try... My advice is: "don't even measure, just look". There are no rules when it comes to something like this. Go with your gut. For isntance, over the years I have found that half the time, even "true level" does not even LOOK level! So I usually end up opting for whatever way does not draw attention to the inconsistencies. | |||||

| Thanks again... | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Blake77 | General discussion | |
| Thanks again... This is getting interesting. It looks like there are strong similarities - but also some differences - when comparing with the Race or Lancel chairs; the feet or the curve of the back are examples. Not sure we've found it yet, but we'll keep looking and let you know. Thanks again. Appreciate your input. | |||||
| I just noticed that this chair by Brande Mobelindustri | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | danielmpoole | General discussion | |
| I just noticed that this chair by Brande Mobelindustri according to the attribution it was designed by Kofod-Larsen. I must say, the frame does look very similar, but there are also quite a few differences. It could be a lead though? http://www.scandinavianmod.com/c104.htm | |||||
| Definitely! | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | DavidR | General discussion | |
| Definitely! This is without a doubt an authentic piece! Herman Miller would often leave pencil marks on the bottom of the furnishings. I've got some old pencil marks underneath my DTM. Anyways, with regard to its age, I am also unsure about the Evans/Herman Miller differences. | |||||
| Among | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Among many other differences, note that Wegner keeps his legs on the same spatial "cone" so that from any angle the legs all point to the same imaginary point in space, far above the floor. No awkward "baby doe" gawkiness for Hans ! | |||||

| ... front of the chair. You see that because in the second foto, the front left leg is almost aligned with the rear right leg. The camera is also lower in the second foto - you see more of the rear legs in the second shot. I think this deceives the eye. If you take into account the angle and camera height and add in the focal length of the lense, I feel you can explain away all the differences between the first two shots. I don't say this to be contentious. But we are all often asked to make attributions based on solitary, often fuzzy, actually pretty lousy pic ... | |||||

| There are many ways... There are many ways to distinguish the cadovius items from the other systems. Most of the confusion is generally about the Royal System (the one with the metal hangers, with veneered planks), as, for instance, the Preben Sorensen (PS) system looks very much like it at a first glance. And even often you'll see professional dealers advertising and selling PS as Royal system But still, there are ways to differentiate them. Mainly: the drawer unit's handles, the notches on the sliding doors, and also, the planks are cut out at the back so ... | |||||
