| Brixham stoneware tea set service by Robert Welch | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | ite (BE) | General discussion | |
| Hi guys, I would love some more information on a difficult question. A while back, browsing though Taschens Decorative Art 70s my eye fell on a small (unfortunately b&w) picture of a very unusual style teapot/ milk jug / cup & saucer set (page 557). My interest rose even more as I read the caption: Brixham stoneware from a complete range of tableware, mottled chestnut high fired Tamooko glaze. Designed by Robert Welch for Brixham Pottery England. Now, as for some reason my head seems to associate Robert Welch more with some great cast iron and flatware pie ... | |||||
| Why always in black leather ? | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | ite (BE) | General discussion | |
| Upon visiting some large showroom of design furniture something struck me. almost all classic furniture designs (such as the Barcelona chair, the Eames Lounge Chair, Le Corbusier series LC2 LC3) were presented in black leather. Not one was displayed upholstered in a nice tan/biscuit or white leather or anything else for that matter (or combined with some other furniture to balance it). Why do they do this ? Would this be for the clients to be better able to compare the seats, without additional color confusion ? Or simply because the black leather look is ... | |||||
| 50's/60's residential house design | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Hi, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. We are currently about to extend or house which was built in this time period & I am finding it difficult to find any ideas, plans, designs, inspiration etc. to help retain our unique qualities of our house. Everything I find in home renovation magazines tend to "tart" up homes to look like character/period homes or completely modernise them compromosing their unique design!!! What is with this?!? Does'nt anyone else appreciate & love this period? I thank-you all fellow design addicts in ad ... | |||||
| If you're really determined | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| If you're really determined to do it without needing to partially disassemble the chair (though removing the seat rails doesn't appear overly difficult), the only way is to chop out and extend the grooves all the way to the ends of the rails so you can slide in a new piece of bending plywood (goggle it) or narrow slats of solid wood. Either way, first make a cardboard template that fits to aid with sizing. | |||||
| Thank you, Minimoma. That is | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | midcenturygrl | General discussion | |
| Thank you, Minimoma. That is very good advice! I live in an area where it would be difficult to find someone who would know how to do this, so I will probably just leave them as they are for now. I will definitely check out this book, & keep learning! | |||||
| I finally wrote to Carl | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | DrPoulet | General discussion | |
| I finally wrote to Carl Hansen to help me date my Safari chair. It appears that it is probably from the 70s. * The type of screws I have were used from 1960 to 1980. Then they have been replaced by Philips head screws. * Apparently, most the safari chairs in smoked ash date from the 1970s as it was difficult back then to get good quality ash. Smoking was used to hide the imperfections in both the wood colour and structure. Thought it might be useful to someone someday. | |||||

| I can see what looks like ray-flecking in the lower front leg, this is indicative of white oak and Beech, primarily. Other hardwoods can exhibit this grain pattern, but in the furniture world, Beech and Oak are the most commonly used wood species for furniture. Pretty difficult to tell from the images which it is though... | |||||
| Function questions re: platform design | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | Pelle | General discussion | |
| ... buy a low bed and some sort of "memory foam" mattress. I have been looking at various options for months, including a tatami platform and the Leggero bed at DWR (am too impatient to navigate through stylish websites for the Cappelini bed and the Case bed reminds me of elementary school furniture.) My questions are 1. How well generally do platform beds perform in allowing air circulation? (The Leggero bed appeals to me because ventilation appears to be built into the platform. Removable slats in my experience tend to slip and slide when making up the b ... | |||||
| Help identify a light fixture | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | Boyce | General discussion | |
| Without being able to post a picture here, I know this will be difficult. However, I am wondering if anyone can help identify a light fixture I recently purchased. It is a hanging rectangular chandelier(approx. 24"w x 21"d x 14"h) suspended by a 24" steel tube. The light fixure is made up of 48 5"x7" copper sheets. Each sheet is backed with white enamel. These copper pieces are connected in a overlapping pattern creating a layered rectangle. The copper plates are connected to each other with brass pins which vary in lenght from 1" to 3". The rectangl ... | |||||
| Rustplane, welcome. | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| ... whichever maker/designer you are most familiar with that used the medium. This particular chair does not have any features that scream Cherner to me. I am by no means an expert on his designs, but rather a generalist. Being a generalist, this looks like a bent plywood chair from the 1940-50s; there are no features that identify it as anything in particular at this point. The base does look like it might be a bit higher quality than average, but really hard to tell in the attached pictures. Considering the shear number of bent plywood chairs out there, th ... | |||||
| I went out and returned | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | niceguy | General discussion | |
| I went out and returned immediately with these Massimo Vignelli Max bowls, mugs and dinner plates for Heller. The pastels are somewhat difficult to find. The average price was 60¢ each. This is good minimoma I will search for original. The V&A is a good standard to set in collecting. One man's trash is another man's treasure is true for you. | |||||
| Has a lot of the design | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| Has a lot of the design traits of a Norwegian piece. Might help you narrow it down if you search in that area. Westnofa, Vatne Møbler, Ekornes, etc. May be difficult to find on the internet, however, since this looks like a somewhat hasty adaptation of a single seat design, which means it is probably very low production numbers. Best bet is finding the one seater, or maybe the catalog that shows the 2 seat option. The forum is going to need more information if there is any chance of IDing it. close ups of wood, fasteners, etc. Are the seat cushions leat ... | |||||

| BMartin You may use generic spray oven cleaner with a nylon nail brush for difficult stains. This will not harm the fiberglas and it is impossible to create esthetic damage. You have nothing to loose in the chairs current condition. | |||||

| ... who repairs boats. I have done a fair amount of fiberglass work on sailboats in the past, and the fiberglass piece is actually not difficult at all to make, with just a little bit of experience. The fiberglass materials are really cheap, and you could easily use the original chair as the form (well protected of course). This is especially so, since it is buried under the upholstery, and covered with foam, so there are no concerns with the aesthetics of the fiberglass. The upholstery would be the difficult part, in my opinion, because of the curves (and ... | |||||

| ... (or not applied) over the years has really obscured what these are. I also did not even think about walnut, because it was not very common for early Danish cabinetmakers to use Walnut, and I have mainly only seen these chairs in Rosewood. I worked on the rail of the Model 225, and I can see the grain now, which does look a bit like walnut, although much lighter than what I am used to working with. I mainly worked on the Model 60 variants though, and would agree that they are most likely not Rosewood as I originally thought (which I am actually happy about, ... | |||||
