| Very curious here as well. I would be extremely surprised that the design is not from Peter Jensen or some other obscure danish designer... Mobilia issues are not difficult to find if you know where to look at and have money to spend. - ebay: there are always some on ebay. - abebook: plenty of Mobilia available but pre 1970 issues can be expensive. - dba (danish equivalent to "leboncoin"): Sometimes some issues or even collections pop out. Prices are generally pretty good but, from my own experience, sellers rarely answer to requests from abroad and shipping ... | |||||

| ... heads already look to be recessed, I would consider reinserting them for added strength to the break repair (although if the wood fits tightly back together, it shouldn't really matter if you clamp properly. Create some fine oak saw dust, not "sawdust" from a table saw, but a fine powder that you can get from a grinder or sander. Mix the oak dust with some wood glue to make a paste. Apply over screw heads (or holes without screws), as well as all gaps and recesses in the wood. Shallow wide fills can be difficult and require multiple passes. Use a credit car ... | |||||

| ... the surface in sufficient quantity to be opaque. I imagine that if you wet the wood well with a Quebracho bark powder teak (extremely high in tannins), then apply iron sulfate (or iron acetate) you will get a jet black and it will not obscure the grain at all, because the black molecules will be inside the surface of the wood. This is a version of the traditional technique for ebonizing wood. Some light sanding will be necessary with this technique to knock the grain back down. And I don't think 100%pure alcohol will raise the grain of wood, but we almost ... | |||||

The joinery between the backrest and the back stiles looks relatively risky to disassemble, considering its conspicuity. I would pull it apart where the back stile meets the seat rail/apron. drilling out the center of the pieces accurately is also rather difficult if you don't have a drillpress or lathe to execute with precision. Finally, if the break is too gummed up with glue, then it will be ... | |||||

| ha ha! Good point. I did send her links to suitable chairs in the end and for the table, I don't know what else I can suggest as I think they are far more exotic and difficult to come by. Thank you for the advice and good humour 😉 | |||||

| racecar, I know and appreciate this piece. Very nice and extremely difficult to locate at a reasonable price. I am aware of recent re-interpretations of this design such as the Konstantin Grcic knife. Your showing is exactly what I had in mind. Thank you. | |||||

| There's currently an eBay auction for a pair of these chairs. They are inclined, similar to the one above, but difficult to ascertain if the angles are the same. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291728387049?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPage... | |||||

| Danish it may be inspired by | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Danish-homestore.com | General discussion | |
| Danish it may be inspired by but as the chair is a solid construction, not knock-down, it would suggest that it has been produced in the home market. Most Danish chairs were designed with exports in mind and thus were knock-down to maximise the volume in transport. The wood is difficult to tell just from the pictures but it appears a walnut rather than teak. | |||||
| Yep, indeed original Eames | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| ... are aftermarket (non-Eames, non-Herman Miller) bases that fit the wide mount if desired, but these are not authentic and vary greatly in quality, and also have a bit of a strange look, in my opinion. To some, the wide mount stacking shells are less desirable than the standard mounts, because of the lack of interchangeability. But if you like the look, or have the need for a group of chairs, they are a great design. A "purist" would probably leave them as is. Some people will also move (or replace) the mounts to the standard (closer together) design. That m ... | |||||

| Yes, I figured leif would have already come across this catalog page, and probably jesgord as well. However, the geometry between the "ears" of the catalog photo appears different to me than the two listings you posted. The catalog photo looks less elegant to me than the shape in the 2nd (Hardoy) link. Leif, any thoughts as to what this design is doing attributed to this designer/manufacturer. It is around 20 years after the Argentinian Hardoy design, and does not improve up the original design. And since it is very difficult to find a confirmed example onl ... | |||||

| Like you said, Eames LCW is not that difficult to find since those are newer editions. The way I see it, why keep them in a storage only to collect dust? I would have sold them to Eames' enthusiast who will appreciate those chairs and display them. In the meantime, save the money for your future knoll chair. You will never know how soon you might get the opportunity to get one. | |||||
| You have accomplished what | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Awesomefind | General discussion | |
| You have accomplished what the expensive re-editions never even attempted. It's not just a look it is a quality engineered design piece that we all fall in love with. It really shouldn't be so difficult for these companies to provide a quality item for the outrageous prices they charge. I doubt they'll even care that you have mastered the art as they will be more concerned about their profit margin. Bravo, you will do well with these masterpieces! | |||||
