| Herman Miller | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | Torres | General discussion | |
| Herman Miller The chairs I sell are Herman Miller chairs - authentic with papers, in HM box etc. I actually do not know whether the authentic Miller chair differs from the Vitra edition - check this thread "Eames lounge chair : why European are the Turkey of Vitra ?" - I think it´s a few pages down - it´s also about Vitra pricing. All Vitra product for EU are more expensive than exact same Miller items for US market. I have a friend in the US with access to Miller products and since I have containers going from US anyway I can fit a few chairs in from time t ... | |||||

| And in return... Re: Koen. For what it's worth, I was specifically addressing the openness of Christianity as practiced by the plurality of Americans: mainstream evangelical Protestantism. The Catholic church differs substantially in how open it is. Same with the LDS. Re: 420. If you're afraid of organized religion, then great. More power to you. I guess you got me there. But you haven't convinced me that it's a rational fear. Nor do you need to try. I'm just pointing out that your comment is a little out of left field. Re: SDR. I think you may be making a l ... | |||||
| Teague and Koen on inherent forms: questions | 1 Relevance | 23 years ago | jan m. | General discussion | |
| ... question. When you defend Teague's (and by implication also Sullivan's and Greenough's) idea of inherent forms, and agree with T. that such forms must be "evolved" as he puts it, and when you suggest that such inherent forms will be probably arrived at by a step-by-step method, and that it may take several generations - are you saying that you subscribe to a sort of objet-types idea of Le Corbusier and others before him? You do say, that you agree with T. that we might reach that stage one day for most products. Because if you do mean all this, then I under ... | |||||

| @jbrajo Id have to check with the person who did it, but I believe it was a custom color mix over raw beech. I had a spare piece of beech and he mixed 6 diffferent samples to come up with a color that I liked. | |||||

| . Maybe there is a moral duty to be conservative, in some contexts? I don't find restraint a problem but 'l'art difficile de simple' really strikes a chord most days. Its funny, two of the most authentic people I know are my father and a friend of his, an old German master craftsman (a proper one, traditional training) and both of them completely unashamedly make reproduction things, maybe because profit isn't a primary motive its different. | |||||

| ah plywood top, my sometime... ah plywood top, my sometime favourite. Used to be able to get plywood with plenty of fine laminations that looked very nice on edge, like table tennis paddles, its difficlut to get ply like that now, though I have heard of Multiplex? Muliply? A European product I think. The alternative is to get 2 sheets of say 8mm with 5 laminations and press them together, you can get a nice edge like that, as long as there are no voids. The tops HM use for the elliptical tables looks pretty good, I think it has 17 laminations but is very th ... | |||||
| RE: Eros chair for Kartell cleaning | 1 Relevance | 3 years ago | tktoo2 | Repair | |
| ... prying off the central metal cap that may cover a fastener. I do have enough experience polishing plastics to recommend reading up on polishing polycarbonate (seat material for Eros) as the protocol differs from that for polishing acrylics (Perspex, Plexiglas, etc). Cool chair. I kinda like the patina and would, if mine, try doing a light-handed cleaning/buffing on the plastic and leave the rest more or less as is. Best of luck! | |||||
| identification credenza Florence Knoll? | 1 Relevance | 3 years ago | jenni_020 | Identification | |
| Dear all, I am new to this forum but it is a treasure trove! I need some help on identification of a credenza I bought yesterday. It looks like a Florence Knoll credenza, with 2 sliding doors but it differs on details such as the leather straps or the sliding door system. On my credenza the doors are even on the front but you can pull the right front door so it can slide in front of the left door. And push the door back in its place to make an even front. The leather straps are also different in that they are thicker and they disappear into the wood and are ... | |||||
| The Eames Lounge was designed | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| ... the Lounge's place in the the history of design is it's innovation, it's technoloy, in relation to it's own time. The "look" comes WAY after that. (I find it exquisitely beautiful by the way!) The beautiful complexity of the relationships of the major wood shell forms in the Eames Lounge was considered and refined with the utmost attention to visuals-- but only AFTER function was put first and foremost- and on a level of rigor unseen before in the history of furniture design. Now that is "beauty". It is a sad day when the success of a design causes people ... | |||||

That is the form I was thinking of, the designs with the deperessions on the side strike me as being difficualt to produce and not very functional, unless the flower stems are very rigid they would flop about. | |||||
| Mogens Koch Safari Chair ? | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Dalloway | General discussion | |
| I have what *appears* to be a Mogens Koch Safari Chair. It's in very good condition with wear to the wood and leather consistent with an object from the mid-twentieth century. What perplexes me, however, is that there is a very difficult to read stamp/impress/logo on the underside of one of the wood stretchers that seems to read "Valmazon Sarreid, Ltd." Can anyone help with this? I can't get much information on the company, though the Google hits suggest that it might have produced or sold fine mid-century decorative objects some of which are for sale at ... | |||||
| Thank you for sharing, very | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | Ernest Rams | General discussion | |
| Thank you for sharing, very much appreciated. Your images are a source of inspiration. I was commenting, by looking at your pictures, that IKEA furniture could sometimes be a good solution, especially for a couch. But that couch you have is not produced anymore. I think the quality and design of IKEA is getting worse every year. In any case, finding a good looking couch, affordable, which can be washed, and comfortable, it's probably the most difficult task of furnishing any home. Best wishes, Ernest. | |||||

| Good call. | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| Good call. I thought of something else and maybe you're already doing this but just in case---if you take breaks during the weaving process, be sure to spritz the back of the cane thoroughly with water and then give it 20-30 minutes to soften up and stretch again. It tightens up a lot as it dries, as I'm sure you've noticed, and that can make weaving difficult. You need a little slack in the cane as you work. I think the pros probably do a back like this in one sitting but that's a bit much for many diYers, at least until they get regular practice. | |||||
| Denmark teak chair - International Designers Group | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | gropius | Identification | |
| I found a few of these chairs, and the only mark I can find is from International Designers Group. According to this prior discussion https://www.designaddict.com/forum/General-discussion/International-Designers-Group , it seems IDG was a US importer from various countries and designers in Europe in the 50's, 60's which fits the condition of these chairs. They would apparently want only their own badge on their furniture, so original makers marks are absent, making identification more difficult than usual. At first I thought they had leather seats, then I ... | |||||
