| Peter Protzman Desk | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | dannyboy | General discussion | |
| I have this somewhat rare Herman Miller Peter Protzman Desk sans the plastic sided drawers and middle pencil/pen drawer (plastic sided drawers broke in the late 70's). HM only made this desk for one year - According to my family member it proved too difficult to mass produce. Apparently the variation in the zebrawood made it difficult to match the desk surface to the drawers and the thick 1.5 inch bent plywood was difficult, at the time, to bend and keep the plys stuck together. A family member worked for Herman Miller in the 70's and got this as is off the ... | |||||
| Albinson & Knoll's 1601 stacking chairs | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | gelliott | General discussion | |
| ... sold so well that it kept Knoll afloat during some hard times*. Seems like kind of an important chair in Knoll and MCM history, yet it's difficult to find much info about it (the internet seems rather quiet on the subject) and I find very few of them for sale online or off. What's the deal with this chair? Are they somewhat rare/highly sought after? Is it's design considered mediocre to most? did they age poorly/fall apart? Or, as seems to be a theme for Albinson, is the 1601 chair just out-shined by the designs credited to his collaborators (Eames, Saarine ... | |||||
| RE: Saarinen tulip chair - original or repro? | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | andygin | Identification | |
| I also have a couple of tulip 'style' chairs. See pics attached. The mechanisms are old and rusty and make a terrible noise, so we don't use them - which is a shame. I'd like to try to replace the mechanisms, but if it is going to be difficult to find new ones, maybe I should leave them alone? Any thoughts on the type of chair they are or where I could find a replacement part would be greatly appreciated (I am in the UK) Attachment: IMG_0928.jpeg | |||||
| Expert opinions please | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | phoduct | General discussion | |
| Hello all - I have been googling and reading past threads of this forum for the last couple of days intensively but am no further forward. I'm trying to identify a sideboard but it is proving very difficult and I have not been able to find anything like it throughout google images and other online resources, so time to ask the experts...sorry to make my first post a request for ID, however at least my quest for this has led me to find this forum in the first place! I'll try to put up some pictures in a mo of the item and what I think might be helpful in iden ... | |||||
| I need a new big salad bowl | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| ... 8" tall, perfect hemisphere shape-- like a bisected basketball. Light as a feather, easy to clean, easy to store, great looking (even though I normally balk at plastic serving pieces). Any suggestions? I'm not a fan of those giant wood salad bowls (too big a footprint, too difficult to store, too heavy, too ugly, too rancid after 20 Ceasar Salads). | |||||
| High Back Eames Fiberglass Chairs | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Lenox | General discussion | |

| Plycraft Manufactured Plywood Bookcase Identification Help | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | diamondsandrust | Identification | |
| Hello DA People - We recently acquired a large number of pieces that were salvaged from the Plycraft warehouse in MA, just before an infamous fire claimed the building. We are having a difficult time identifying one of the pieces. We know that Plycraft manufactured this item in-house, but that is where our knowledge of it ends. It is a bookcase w/ glass shelving. Does anyone here have any insight into what this could be? Thanks in advance for your help. -J. | |||||
| How many "authentic" MCM environments remain? | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| ... She and her husband are just now preparing to downsize as octogenarians, and they obviously had the taste and means to do the period justice. The place is full of the stuff that inspires this forum. It has been a real treat for me to be able to spend time there. I'd like to document it with photographs, but I hesitate to ask permission. I think it has been difficult for them as they face the transition. Most depictions of these types of environments I see today are either period photos or contemporary interpretations. Even my own house represents a somewhat ... | |||||
| Is this Brazilian Rosewood? Arne Norell Sirocco safari chair | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | armccallum | General discussion | |
| I could use some help. I recently bought a Arne Norell Sirocco safari chair off craigslist. It was cheap but it is missing one the wood spindles (rear top). My plan is to have a new replacement spindle turned but I am having a difficult type determining the wood. According to many sources the chair was made out of Brazilian Rosewood. But looking at chairs online that were identified as being Brazilian Rosewood I am seeing two distinctly different looking wood grains. All the wood pieces on my chair look like the first (top) photo below. However the second ph ... | |||||
| Lightolier Wall Sconce I.D. | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | TinyArmada | General discussion | |
| Hi all, It is no secret I buy and sell to feed my mid-century habit, and to keep the pieces I like. I find it difficult sometimes when I find an item I think I can do without, and then I list it - and find myself a few days later wanting to not let it go, and withdrawing the auctions. It happens a fair bit - and my storage shed is proof. Lately I posted in ebay a wall sconce. After a little more looking at it, I realized it was polished stainless steel and not chrome... and I am beginning to like it. What also struck me is that after listing it, the number o ... | |||||
| Show me your salad utensils, so I may see thee | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| ... attraction of lovely-to-look-at, not-so-lovely to use lessens as I age. I find myself preferring function over aesthetics more and more. So, who's more orthodox a Modenist-- the person who serves with Goodgrips hot dog tongs, or the person who serves with a difficult to use, MOMA-approved salad set? | |||||

| I've owned and still own a number of sculptura pieces by russell woodard, but have found it amazingly difficult to find any info about the line (dates, where produced, bio of woodard, any non-patio designs). seriously, beyond a name there's little to nothing out there. for such great pieces, i'm really surprised. does anyone have anything they'd like to share? and, are these also part of the sculptura line? they're the only ones I've ever seen... | |||||
| 70s sofa id - brass name plate | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Cft | Identification | |
| If anyone can help identify or decipher this name tag I would be very greatful!! I've spent the last few days searching for something similar, and as I can't make out the signature this is proving very difficult. I have two large three seater sofas and a huge coffee table, all white lacquer with brass edging so I'm guessing at 1970's Italian. Both sofas and coffee tables are on plinths so look to be floating, and remind me of Willy Rizzo pieces. Many thanks in advance. | |||||
