	Pretty easy to tell	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Pretty easy to tell In my experience, for the 670 lounge & 671 ottoman, if there is no Herman Miller label, there's a 99% chance that it is not genuine. Maybe Herman Miller, knowing that there are so many knock-offs out there, made the labels on these particularly difficult to fall off. Just a guess. Otherwise, I agree with b -- it's really pretty easy to tell a fake once you see a real one and then compare it. The most noticeable differences are in the base, and especially the way the base connects to the seat. There are numerous photos to be found on t ...

The reason why I abstained from more than suggestions on how to solve a "detail" is that this specific configuration is your design and I simply do not agree, or would I encourage to protect all kind of variations that might never be made but that prevent someone else to make them his own. Let's not forget that one of the reasons why Danish mid-century furniture became ...

	... by aiding the proliferation of cruddy renditions...rather, I contend that the quantifiable differences between reproductions and contemporary pieces that are liscenced and official are often times very small, especially considering the MASSIVE price differences. It's really just a matter of plain old economics. And I dare say that even two thousand dollars for something you park your can in is hardly something to sneeze at. As for originals with all their patina and charm...THAT I can see celebrating, and I have saved and starved for my share of guitars and ...

	... auction description too). However, there are some significant differences in the construction, mainly regarding the areas where your chair can be taken apart. The #113's frame appear to be a solid construction with glued joints all over - and thereby not intented for disassembling. My theory is that your chair is a later version of Wanscher's #113 intented for export. The feature that it can broken down, would have made it easy and certainly a lot cheaper to ship. This feature does however limit the design. So Wanscher might have made an extra effort to sor ...
	Licensed Le Corbusier chaiselongue	1 Relevance	22 years ago	AlGarz	General discussion
	Licensed Le Corbusier chaiselongue Hi there, I am also looking for a Le Corbusier LC4 chaise longue and i would like to ask Starlight what differences did he ( or she) notice between the Cassina model ( which i guess is the only owner of Corbusier´s licenses )and the others. I have seen well manufactured and good pieces of this chaise longue and they where around $1000... how much is Cassina´s model more or less ?? I can´t find any price tag anywhere. By the way i am from Barcelona and we don´t really care about what a furniture manufacturer might do to a ch ...

	Interesting site, but very... Interesting site, but very bare bones! I would be more interested if they would have gone into a little more detail about the availability of the fake (was it commonly available?), where it was uncovered (major retailer?), major/minor differences, etc. But I also appreciate they are fighting an uphill battle with few resources, I wonder if there is such a site that would have the additional information so the public becomes more aware of the problem.
	cont.	1 Relevance	20 years ago	koen	General discussion
	cont. Another reason not to draw, not even to model on a computer are all thes small differences that you can not see on a screen. I have been cutting and sanding away on a series of plaster handles, none of them is very different from the other, and I would not be able to judge the differences between them on a computer screen. Yet I have to do it because the characteristic that I want to achieve...a self-evident shape...is impossible to generate on a screen. Even the choosen shape, laser-scanned and put on the screen, looks "designed" I do not want it to ...
	Not the Same as Knockoff	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	... Lounge Chair: 50 Years" exhibit at the Muesum of Art & Design. I watched the video of current production a few times, and got to chill in the 670 provided (soooooo nice). They also provided the exploded sculpture of the 670. Much to the amusement and sometimes consternation of the guards I was peering in and under and all over the pieces provided. I'm also currently working on a redo of a knock off - so I've got some points of reference for comparison. One of the biggest differences between the 670 and the knockoffs is the upholstery. The knockoffs ha ...

People, especially in North America mouve around, they buy a larger house the moment they can affort it, they change jobs etc. For the European, first half of the 20th century M.v.d.R. this was a difficult concept. Traditionally Europeans did not move.

	RE: Mid Century Modern teak chair - please help to ID	1 Relevance	7 years ago	lexi	Identification
	@herringbone; I googled the above company and found a "similar" chair but noticed two differences. 1:-it has side stretchers between the legs while the OP's does not. 2:-Also the angle of the back legs is different. Different models perhaps? Unless you found the exact same chair...? ( better search skills than me ! ) Lexi.

	RE: Cleaning & Refinishing Moller 75 chairs	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Spanky	Repair
	You can post some well-focused closeups of various parts of the wood frames here and someone may be able to ID the wood for you. Or you can look at other samples of those three wood species and learn the differences. That chair looks very dry and maybe sun-bleached, too. It may take more than a finish to get it looking good again but it's hard to say from just that one photo. It's most likely teak, given that a lot more were made of teak than of cherry or oak. Is there some reason you don't want to redo the seats in paper cord?

	... have any history on the plycraft company? I'm kind of curious about the story. And I'm having a mild crisis of conscience about cutting the backrest down to a manageable size...mostly because I know these chairs do have a decent resale value... but I'm also one of those anal people who can spot the differences between the fake and the original...and it just kills me how huge this thing is. Oy. I've got some time to contemplate it, and I've been checking out the leather selection on ebay. Do you think I need to back the leather with anything? or will ...
	Integrating or Moving Modernist Buildings in Columbus...Pt. 2	1 Relevance	20 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	... work in his more conventionally modernist idiom (which he is quite good at, if under-recognized for, doing) and really apply a neomodernist touch that links the old new to the new new with all the imagination he and, say, Bruce Mau might muster. Columbus needs to take another step into the new, not knock these buildings down. And modernists, postmodernists, and neomodernists, whatever their differences, ought to encourage this path for Columbus, despite the fact that it tampers with significant, existing modernist buildings. IMHO, Columbus is one of the mos ...
