| ... used to sell a knockoff of Børge Mogensen's wood settee, the one whose sides drop down. There were small differences. Their current "Poang" chair is a lot like an Aalto design. I think they used to have a chaise longue in the same style with woven webbing. I saw one at an auction recently and got kind of excited until I noticed the exposed hex nuts on the sides. Oh well. Those are only a few examples. They do quite a few knockoffs. They also have some good original designs too, plus a lot of mediocre designs that are not very original and not really ... | |||||

| ... fact that the CH29 is a better design than the CH30, which makes the first one more attractive. I mentioned "retail" because it is up to the seller to decide on how to sell it and who is going to make the effort of exposing and selling it. Over and above the fact that there are differences between consignation and actual bying, mark-ups also seem to be quite different according to location. Retail pricing gives a better indication of what the end user is willing to pay. Again Magdalena good luck with the sale! | |||||
| RE: Flat Pack / keyhole assembly lounge chair - made in Denmark | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | inlewof | Identification | |
| Your chair is an original Danish chair, probably designed and produced by Selig. Adrian Pearsall did produce a near-identical chair (2317-C) in the U.S. for Craft Associates. I have both chairs—you really can only spot the differences when placed side by side. Slightly modified arm, more tapered spindles, and different mechanism to affix the seat webbing. At any rate, the Pearsall chair has no maker's mark. Both are quite valuable in the auction market. | |||||

| Unfortunately these are not even Dal Vera originals. They are copies of the Italian chairs was used in Les Arcs. I also thought they were originals when I found my pair, but there are slight differences, and I have been told that they were never manufactured by Dal Vera with a black frame. If someone can discredit this I would be more than happy! | |||||

| In the style of Ole Wanscher but with some obvious differences. This listing appears to be the same chair, though the back only has two slats. Listing says possibly Wanscher or Kai Kristiansen, but that seems like wishful thinking by the seller. https://dwellissimo.com/product/danish-modern-teak-rocking-chair/ Another one with two slats on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/702786056/vintage-mid-century-modern-danish-teak I guess neither had a tag or stamp. | |||||
| RE: Early Production Hans Wegner Cow Horn Chair? | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | davidhunternyc | General discussion | |
| ... great to see a Cow Horn or Bull Horn chair with this early branding. Maybe if we can find a chair with the early branding we might be able to see some other differences between the early and late model chairs also. "Johannes Hansen handmade vs. PP Mobler with CNC machining." It's no contest which I would prefer. There has to be a way to identify the earliest model Cow Horn chairs. | |||||

| ... particular cover the red is quite dominant. That the blue line art would refer to the french flag is not unlikely but it seems quite a coincidence that one of the Bauhaus theater posters from 1929 shows exactly the orange/red on white with secondary text in this particular washed out blue. It was not my intention to reduce the colours to red on white, but because of the similarity between the cover and this particular poster, that association came to mind before the much stronger red/white/blue combination of the french flag. I guess everybody's memory make ... | |||||

Most designers use it regularely, altough in the world of plastics we still struggle with substantial differences between the simulation and the actual result. Part is caused by the way the material flows into the mould during production but a much larger part is due to the non- linear character of the mechanical properties of plastics. Most raw plastic material manufacturers have to lie if you ask for the Poisson constant...simply because in p ... | |||||
| Extremely old and not at all American | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Extremely old and not at all American Tilanus, my dad is a horologist (clock guy) so I'll take a stab at explaining what I know from him. The way our time measuring system is arranged is far older than the 12 vs 24 hours differences. It's based on the 60-based(sexigesimal)numbering sysyem of the ancient Sumerians. It had to do with daylight hours and night time hours, 12 hours each. The 'hour' is a watch as in 'standing watch'. The 24-hour system is a new adaptation, early clocks (the word actually comes from a older word meaning bell)were 12 hours (daylight ... | |||||

| ... had received a solid silver version of the bowl to commemorate the fact that she had allowed Rosti to use her name, the bowls had been so successful that they were copied all over south east Asia. As a former Mepal/Rosti designer and as vice president of the company that distributed the bowls in Canada it was a major concern to me. So I contacted my former employer and basically asked a simple question:' How is it that 25 years after the first mixing bowl design, we have not learned enough about the use and the manufacturing technology to design a better on ... | |||||

The vitra ones has a firm and flat look to it. The herman miller has a plushed and thicker feel to it. which do you prefer? Honestly i have preference towards herman miller cause they were the first to produce Eames pieces. There are many differences to spot if you put 2 pieces together.

| ... Why isn't your logic equally applicable to disqualify, oh, ... helsinki (or just about anywhere else for that matter)? In fact, why do Danes need to go anywhere outside of Europe to see architecture? Indeed, one would think that becuase of the geographic & cultural proximity of helsinki to copenhagen (i'm aware that there are differences, but there are differences and then differences), your logic -- "Go somewhere where you can see / experience what you can't experience nearby" -- seems to work against helsinki & in favor of new york. yes, the question is ... | |||||

Other common differences of "fakes" compared with the HM and Vitra versions is that the ottoman swivels (it shouldn't), and bolts that show through the plywood where the armrests attach. Ebay has lots of examples of "eames-inspired" or "eames-style" chairs to look at. Though most sellers admit that their chair is not the authorised copy, there are some people selling knock-off ... | |||||

In looking at Alessi's fall/winter collection I discovered two sizes of stainless steel bowls, designed by Patricia Urquiola and sold under the name Orloff. Apart from some minor differences related to the technology used by Alessi to deep-draw the bowl in stainless steel, the bowl is the same as one introduced at the Sidim in Montreal in 2004 and somewhat later on DA ... | |||||
