	Rob Parry....	1 Relevance	16 years ago	benbo	General discussion
	Rob Parry.... Looks pretty much like a Rob Parry chair by Gelderland, Holland to me. Couple of tiny differences to chairs I've had by him in the past but I'm almost 100 percent.........

	Others would know better than... Others would know better than I why there are sometimes big differences in color between teak pieces, although I would assume it has something to do with where the wood is sourced, and the preference of the manufacturer in terms of the color of the wood it selects, but there is nothing amiss with teak pieces being very dark.
	The wood version is clearly wider	1 Relevance	16 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	The wood version is clearly wider and the proportions of other elements a bit different. Would a sculpture like this need to be wider in one material vs another(?)-- stable with a smaller "foot" in a heavy material like stone, but needing a broader "foot" in a lighter material like wood? The obvious differences in proportion make it all the more plausible (to me, at least), not less.
	If you're saying	1 Relevance	16 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	If you're saying that these two pieces are from the same hand, I'd have to disagree. They are clearly related by form and material, but the differences between the two are what makes one "modern" and the other, not. An interesting case study in design is the result of this pairing -- thanks for letting us see them !
	I find wood ID madly frustrating	1 Relevance	16 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	... a wood type looks like from a small swatch. I'm sitting at a rosewood veneer desk but I'd never recognize it from the samples on this website. (When colored wood stains enter the equation, fuggedaboudit-- "yep, it's wood" is the best I can muster.) There's not only grain & color to take into account, there are differences of density that a photo can't possibly convey. One might be better served by knowing which woods were popularly used when & where, then determine if your piece is one of those.

	... make it good. The idea that design is only subjective is silly, however. There is good and bad design. People like to do this to music too. It's fun for people to think of anything that is for entertainment or enjoyment, a luxury you'd say, as a personal thing whose merit is only measured by the one who enjoys it. People say this about art too. But the fact is, while these goods are widely enjoyed by the general public, there are professionals in these fields with the education and experience to have an educated opinion. I am perfectly at peace knowing that ...

	... just wanted to avoid culpability for their inaccurate claims. My favorite misinformed listing referred to Charles and Ray as the "Eames brothers." So for a couple months, I took it upon myself to email each of them, pointing out the differences between their chairs and the real thing, often sending marked up photographs to illustrate the discrepancies, and answering multiple follow-up questions. About half the time, the seller would thank me, and change the description to reflect the new information. About half ignored me. There was, however, one seller ...
	Plycraft in Canada	1 Relevance	16 years ago	sherrylynn	General discussion
	Plycraft in Canada I purchased what appeared to be an Eames lounger and ottoman on Saskatoon kijiji for $60. When I arrived at the home of the owner I soon discovered that it was actually a Plycraft. The original "Products and Materials Used" tag was still attached and Plycraft was printed in bold letters. The owner went on to say that he purchased the set when he was in college back in the early 70'sand at that time he had paid alot of money for it. The chair had the original brown leather and the moulded plywood was in pristine condition. The chair has n ...
	Not Paul McCobb and not Kipp Stewart either	1 Relevance	16 years ago	straylight	General discussion
	Not Paul McCobb and not Kipp Stewart either What this armchair most closely resembles is a chair by Kipp Stewart for directional's American Design Foundation collection (not Drexel as was earlier suggested) circa 1960 but there are differences in the construction that say it is not that either. So thus far we know it is not by McCobb and not by Kipp Stewart either. Who else can we rule out 🙂
	Canadian Copy	1 Relevance	16 years ago	PROTOGRAPHER1	General discussion
	Canadian Copy Wanted to share my thoughts on this chair..... I believe this is a Canadian period copy. Its differences in design to a regular armshell were to avoid legal actions due to the patent on the chair? I have seen several of these chairs over the years in Canada, and i believe the last two on Ebay were from Canadian dealers. The 28k chair at Wright was authenticated by an old man that worked at Zenith 60+ years ago... most likely through pictures.... and now this one example has paved the way to all the others being called pre-production. I leave th ...
	Hoffmann or Thonet Brothers??	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Hipster001	General discussion
	Hoffmann or Thonet Brothers?? Thank you for the Hoffmann lead. These definitely appear to be an interpretation of the famous Fledermaus chair with a few minor differences. This chair was the closest similarity I could find and the source claims it was a Thonet Brothers chair. If anyone is aware of any manufacturers in Denmark that may have produced this chair please respond! Thanks and remember... Keep It Modern! http://www.ritabucheit.com/items/584/pair-of-fledermaus-armchairs
	If vases and such household	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fotzepolitic	General discussion
	... Especially not when the term "antique" is often attached to them (ie. on the second hand market), when they are relics. There are great differences in the design of the models. The one pictured here, I see as an attempt to apply a modern design aesthetic to the traditional sewing machine (60's era modern). In my view, the design aesthetic on this model is stronger than models I've seen that are more, or much more, recent. Earlier or possibly later but industrial models of Morse machines have a very 50's style design model. Pretentious would be calling it an ...

	... front leg should be radiused on the inside, the piece of wood that connects the front and back leg should be joined flush, the backrest should have a curve to it, if the upholstery is original it should be wool or leather. Many good quality Danish chairs have one or two circular stickers or plastic discs on the frame but you don't really need them to be able to ascertain quality. The differences in the chairs basically come down to ease of manufacture and hence expense.
	Not Sonneman.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	... one could ever masquerade as it. The Sonneman's arms are spaced further apart on the stem, the shades are a different shape/size and are vented where they attach to the arms, the arm mounts are heavier, etc., etc... There are LOTS of obvious differences. I can't tell for sure whether the lamp pictured above is a vintage Arredoluce/Raymor/Richards-MOrgenthau... But it's certainly not a new Sonneman. http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th...
	I agree with Rockland	1 Relevance	16 years ago	koen	General discussion
	I agree with Rockland Pesce uses a resin (most likely simple polyester resin)that is coloured, it is not a paint and contrary to the claims in the presentation it is not a very advanced technology. It had been around for at least 50 years... It is close to the artisanal technologies that he has always used. Mixing polyurethane, polyvinyl, etc. It suits his interest in small runs that are always producing substantial enough differences in each product to caal the pieces unique.
