| . Not much experience with Eames but you could try counting the laminations in an HM version of a similar age and comparing them, its technically possible for an identical copy to be made but there are often very small differences, try taking some accurate measurments and make a comparison, also check the radius of the edge cut on the seat and back, if I'm not mistaken its very slightly convex. If you can borrow a vernier gauge (I LOVE the digital ones) you can check the thickness of the parts too. Another thought, compare things like the style of screw hea ... | |||||

| long shot | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | shipwright (UK) | General discussion | |
| long shot this could be a long shot as I know these early eames/sarinnen chairs submitted to MOMA's 1948 lowcost furniture exhibition had plywood shells but is it too ridiculous to imagine that my chairs are an early prototype? perhaps a transition from plywood to fibreglass? If anyone is familiar with the upholstery of the MOMA chairs could you please assess any similarities/differences? I think these chairs could be 50 years old as the foam has dried to a dust and the upholstery has faded dramatically. All thoughts welcome. thankyou. http://s909.photobucket.com/albums/ac293/mastershipwright/designaddict/ | |||||

You got to make a living and I can appreciate all that, but I plan on hanging on to my old clocks for awhile yet. 🙂 I am sure some day I will part with my collections and time will tell what these reproductions will do to the value of the vintage ones. | |||||
| If nothing else | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| If nothing else this thread amply displays the trouble that a single prominent misspelling can wreak (look it up). If for these reasons only, why not check your posts before sending, or (now that we have "edit" enabled) correct your own errors -- before someone else does ? It's not too late for scoutshouse to do so -- unless perhaps he or she is immune to embarrassment ? "Blame the messenger" lives on, reminding me of "denial is more than a river in Egypt". No one likes to be corrected in public, but there are ways to avoid that ! Is it perhaps odd that ... | |||||

| Pegboard I had read about the edge differences somewhere online, but I can't recall or locate the source at the moment. Unfortunately, I don't have the Eames Design book. I made the same observation about the edge upon replacing my recent stool with a vintage one. Other observations were that the vintage stool is more honey brown, rather than dark brown. The finish is very smooth, whereas the recent stool I had was somewhat textural. Finally, the joints were notably tighter on the vintage stool, whereas the recent stool developed joint separations and o ... | |||||
| Purchased five | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Purchased five Thanks to all. I purchased all five. They are marked BR51 and swivel. Definitely aluminum. I paid less than $100 for each, so I am not too concerned if they are knock offs or not. I did notice one is markedly different: 1. The bottom edge is straight, not tapered as the others are; 2. The seat cushion does not have "holes" that you can feel through the bottom fabric, whereas the other four do. 3. The top of the stem is slightly wider that the rest, by approximately .5". It would be interesting to try to line up a history of the chairs and e ... | |||||

I will be following the links and seeing if I can get some more info. One more thing I am thinking about reupholstering it. Should I put in the buttons on the reupholstery? | |||||

| Are your chairs Herman... Are your chairs Herman Miller, Vitra or Modernica? I don't know if there are differences in size between different manufacturers of the wire chair. The Vitra fiberglass armshells have a different shape (smaller armrests etc) compared to the HM original, so maybe there's a similar deal with wire chairs? | |||||

| thanks I appreciate reading the replies and differences of opinion. I think I will follow barry's and Midmod's advice. LRF, these clocks are a big investment for me. While I love them, I may not keep them forever. I may sell them or trade them for different models. I also will want to leave them to a niece or nephew, (if they appreciate them). So, to me, maintaining the value is an important question. Midmod, I wish I could attend the vitra attribute to GN. But, I am coming close...spending thanksgiving in Palm Springs shopping with my parents who ar ... | |||||

| cont. Given that one is the kind of person that needs to distinguish oneself again and again and in myriad ways to self-actualize, while living in a cold climate, a broad hat and cape offer extraordinary simplicity of design to a person. To a person who does not need to distinguish himself repetitively to self-actualize, the broad hat and cape may be viewed as stylish, even beautiful garments, but one's wearing of them may be viewed as anachronistic, maybe even bordering on dandy-ism. His buildings, though I have personally loved (his buildings elicit that s ... | |||||

No matter the deep differences in ideology, the Bauhaus could not ignore the strong and earlier productions of the crafts people gathered in the Wiener Werkstätte. What I tried to point out is that they were ideologically very far from each other and Gropius went to great length to ignore them and to make sure that they had no influence on what was happening in the Bauhaus. In spite of being recommended by Van De Velde, who held the position of director of the Kunstgewerbeschüle Weimar until Gropius took ove ... | |||||
