| RE: Help for Dining chair ID required | 2 Relevance | 5 years ago | Herringbone | Identification | |
| @fr-ha Considering the construction details I think it’s safe to say that both your chairs and the ones posted by mark were made by the same producer. It was not uncommon for a company to have different versions of one chair design. But to find the producer it would be helpful to find a marked example or a catalogue entry. Both appears to be difficult. | |||||
| RE: Disassambling Moller Chair #75 | 2 Relevance | 6 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | Repair | |
| You can disassemble this. I prefer @cdsilva’s solution. But if you must have a go: remove the cord. Remove the side rails from the rear legs. Then you get to a difficult point. You can try to remove the backrest from the rear legs, but there is a lot of short grain there and I expect it will just split. Alternatively you could cut the backrest off the legs with a thin kerf Japanese handsaw and drill out the center of the dowels, split the outside ring of dowel out and replace the dowels with you can remove the rear leg from the rear rail and put the new le ... | |||||
| RE: Danish Mid Century Modern teak dining arm chairs made by K.S. | 2 Relevance | 7 years ago | Herringbone | Identification | |
| Kai Kristiansen is likely, but it remains speculation unless you find documentation. Which will be difficult. But honestly I don't know if the information would really change anything here. The chair itself is - apart from his subjective qualities - not really a milestone in the development of Danish furniture. How would it be? It was probably made in the late 60s, early 70s which was a period of decline and downfall for anything teak in Denmark. We know that it is was made by Korup which is a great information to have. But Korup was one of many minor league ... | |||||
| Really dissatisfied with new Eames Lounge Chair - other owners' experiences appreciated | 2 Relevance | 7 years ago | JasonUSA | General discussion | |
| ... one before and was extremely excited for it to arrive but, ever since it did, it's been incredibly disappointing. I'm not looking for people to tell me how amazing their chairs are but really to let me know if yours share any of the below attributes or if I'm on my own here. When I've reported these items to Hive Modern in the past they have said they're to be expected and the same was pretty much true of a conversation I had with Herman Miller this afternoon. The thing is, when I detailed these attributes in a review on Hive Modern's website, the review ... | |||||

| ... because I don't like Palisander rosewood and Herman Miller was charging too much money in my opinion. Adjusted for inflation a new lounge chair and ottoman should be about $5,500. But now I was on a mission to find the perfect lounge chair for my friend. At first he loved the tall version of the chair with white Edelman leather at the Herman Miller store but, after all the boxes were checked, they wanted $8750 for the chair and ottoman. This is crazy expensive. We inquired about the Palisander rosewood and asked if there were some way to choose the shell fo ... | |||||

| @tktoo2 Many if not most of these chairs that are 60 years old have condition issues. Like vintage cars there will be a point when repairs and maintenance become an issue and they must be attended to. I have seen chairs that are in a state of total disrepair and others with incredible original patinas. Yes, the original shock mounts will most likely have disintegrated at this point but there are many impassioned people out there who will fix them. If the feather casing is in good condition I wouldn't touch the feathers. Foam is easily replaced. For people s ... | |||||
| Danish dining table and chairs | 2 Relevance | 6 years ago | JohnQ | Identification | |
| Hi there, I recently purchased this set from a online estate auction in my town. I have not yet seen the actual set in person, but hoping to get some help identifying the maker. The bottom of the chairs is interesting. I imagine the table will be difficult to identify, but looks relatively similar to a Borge Mogensen table I have (the butterfly nuts and leg details, although not particularly unique). Excuse the bad photos, but I will add better ones when I pick up the set later this week. Thanks! Attachment: w0040-1.jpg | |||||
| RE: Danish dining table and chairs | 2 Relevance | 6 years ago | Andersen | Identification | |
| @lexi you should have a counter in your profile for how many (difficult) IDs you have done... @cdsilva nice catch with the table, somehow I though that when there is a stamp like that "made in denmark" is usually something of low quality from late 60es on... there is a reference in the "museo della sedia" . looks like this model was called "western germany". https://museodellasedia.com/prodotto/fratelli-reguitti-f-r-western-germany-licence-mod-820-rekord-1960/ Sometimes you find places were they are labelled as designed by "Joe Ponti", but hard to say from where this attribuition comes from. on the internet you'll find they came in a combination of leather, or fabric upholstery. Sometimes both the backrest and seat upholstered, sometimes only the seat. But I agree, that the upholstery you removed looked like a self-made job...

| RE: Eames Aluminum Group Side Chair Disassembly (and Reassembly?) | 2 Relevance | 4 years ago | tktoo2 | Repair | |
| @kniperider, I'd probably try using either a screwdriver bit in a ratchet wrench to help provide some leverage or possibly an impact driver. As @racecar mentioned above, removing steel screws driven into aluminum can be difficult. Additionally, Vitra may have used screws coated in a thread-lock adhesive (essentially hot-melt glue). Gently heating the area with an electric hair drier may help to soften this if so. Make sure to use a new or unworn driver or bit that provides a positive fit in the screw heads, too. Good luck! | |||||

| Trouble disassembling Danish lounge chair for cane replacement | 2 Relevance | 12 years ago | TheMidCenturyBeehive | General discussion | |
| I'm trying to replace the cane back of a Danish lounge chair. I believe it uses a pre-woven sheet, which is simple enough. The difficulty is in removing the existing cane - it's wedged into a groove with a thin strip of wood that I can't manage to remove. Does anyone have experience removing these? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment or ideas!Regards,Michael | |||||
| Readers having difficulty | 2 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Readers having difficulty understanding my comments about patching veneer might not recognize the underlying issue: it is that side-to-side matches are often perfectly hidden, while those where a cut across the grain is met with another piece of wood -- even from the same board -- are impossible to disguise. A look at any wood floor will illustrate the point. Wood is unusual among materials because of this directionality. The same problem exists when joining two pieces of wood with glue, curiously: pieces glued side to side can make a perfectly strong jo ... | |||||

| I disagree with Simon about... I disagree with Simon about the difficulty of repairing burn marks. It really all depends on how deep the burn went. I've had plenty of luck completely removing cigarette burns. I imagine a professional restorer would have more tricks than I do. That said, maybe post some photos of the damage so we have a better idea. | |||||

Modernism as a whole is an odyssey filled with twist, turns, peaks, valleys, all intertwining that I can have difficulty making connections, as in this case, and certainly don't expect anyone to be able to.
