| Apologies if these are... Apologies if these are things you've already covered but I'm seeing tables produced by Mersman very similar to yours, enough to think they could be the producer. also noticed this, I know there are differences. The little details like the flat tapered legs and overhang are great for trying to find an identical piece but then again something similar enough could well lead to the correct manufacturer and the match - so in that vein I present this link. http://amsterdammodern.com/categories/15-SOLD/14063-dark-walnut-coffee-t...

| I'm missing something. The chair is reupholstered slightly differently than usual (in leather that isn't black, with some extra buttons on the headrest and a strip of fabric in one corner) and it has a brass-colored base. Those are the only differences from the standard Herman Miller chair, right? Herman Miller already offers the chair in olive green, along with dozens of other colors including bright yellow and pink. The buttons are trivial details. The ribbon is, too; it's not MY style, but it's only a small bit of decorative upholstery. I guess the bas ... | |||||

| looks ok to me... The photos aren't the greatest, but it looks legit to me - just of a very recent make. I'll be honest I don't know much about the differences between the recent authorized HM chairs and the vintage models. Most of what I know applies to lounge chairs 25 years or older. However, from your photos this chair does look to be an authorized HM Eames lounge chair. Two further pieces of advice: It's always good to also inspect pieces for repairs. Sometimes people manage to do major damage to a piece, have a repair done and then sell it while not b ... | |||||

| ... that it has no Hermann Miller Logo on the fiberglass shell. The rockers are new. He wants 1500 $ for this chair. What do you think, is it the price for such a chair? Can I trust him ? In the Eames Raisonne there is no mention about a RAR production in 1955. As you can see on the pictures, the white one (told as a 1955) has an ink mark and a "Z", the red one (also told as a 1955) only a "Z" and the ocker one (without mention of the year) a ink number, a HM mark and a paper with numbers on it. Why these differences? For the first two he asks about 1500 $ and ... | |||||
| I would be | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| I would be surprised to learn that any Eames wood furniture was stained. The point of using the different species is to provide different wood tones for different interior-design requirements. Architects like fine woods presented in their natural state -- whereas "designers" (and run-of-the-mill manufacturers) like the convenience of stains, which (among other things) can disguise poorly-sourced woods which have too wide a degree of coloration within one specie. I would expect stained examples of Eames chairs to have been altered by subsequent owners -- th ... | |||||

| Okay Boot glides, for one. DCMs are not offered in White Oak. Pictures can be difficult to discern. I suspect that if you were to see these in person, further differences would be apparent -- e.g. dimensions, shape of the wood, veneer, overall quality, etc. I also suspect that these do not have a fake Herman Miller tag on them. http:// | |||||

The Baker Cheiftain, for example has a differently proportioned shield back. I've never had a chance to see either the vintage Danish production, nor the current OneCollection versions. | |||||

| Looks correct to me | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| Looks correct to me ...though there appear to be differences between Vitra production and vintage Herman Miller production. Namely, in the States the base was offered in zinc, not high polish chrome like yours. From your photos there appear to be signs of age and wear that would be consistent with a vintage chair, not a newer copy. Looks like a nice chair. Enjoy it. | |||||

| . It can be restored to integrate the two color differences. Not at all impossible, just tricky. The amber color does not go deep. Probably just the surface varnish not exposed to light and has a patina. A small chance that both surfaces may need to be treated independently... the pale 'light exposed' and well used surfaces may be much lighter than the stored, rarely used leaves, once sanded. What i mean is, sanding both surfaces may not result in 'like' surfaces. Even a 1/8 inch cork can be sanded. Might be 1/4inch. I would wait until you have it in hand a ... | |||||

| ... with subtle differences, of course. One wonders what led to the decision to pursue this, as form and craft. Modern-day scrimshaw ? Tatting (lace-making)? A demonstration of dedication ? Adam, tell all ! Thanks for the comments and questions, tk. This design is about as far as I go in terms of expressive form. The folding aspect is a somewhat unnecessary fillip -- If I had to deliver a large table like this, I'd want to make the job a little easier, and crating and shipping cost would be lower, I would think. The server is in fact subtly curved -- not ... | |||||

| ... "art" . . . ? The differences between art, craft, and design have much to do with intent and the nature of the commission, and little to do with the resulting object -- it seems to me. A painter "designs" his subject as he lays out the canvas; a craftsman applies his artistic sensibilities from the moment he begins to choose grain patterns; a designer becomes a craftsman when he puts pen to paper or makes that first Foamcore model. The disciplines are almost without borders -- so why is there a magazine or a museum devoted to Craft, and others to Art or t ... | |||||
| Because, dear, | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Because, dear, mankind has an unalterable urge to quantify, classify, and differentiate. It was originally a survival skill, I suppose -- and we've hung onto it like grim death. Does the phrase "both/and instead of either/or" fit, here ? Naturally it is meaningful to discuss differences, to make comparisons and contrasts, etc, when talking about art, design, craft, and any other human discipline. But it is sometimes counterproductive, I believe, to insist on categories when life, and nature, do not . . . It took a while on this thread before the artist ma ... | |||||
