| Have you considered that the | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Have you considered that the other lamp, the cheaper one, is under-priced and that you did pay a fair price for yours? Or that both are too low a price, really? Or that they are both too high a price? When you really step back and consider the variables of design, designer, maker, function, durability, supply, demand, condition, venue, advertising, taxation, return policy, shipping, and on and on, you realize that it quite honestly is very difficult to say what is a reasonable price for many vintage or antique items. There simply are too many variables and ... | |||||

| Heya my original post went missing. Weird here is a pic from the laurel catalog of the lamp. note that while laurel globes turn up on eBay occasionally they are usually the 8" floor lamp size not this 6" size. I think sourcing an original will be difficult. | |||||

| They are probably marked | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| They are probably marked "MADE IN DENMARK" with an impressed stamp on the back side of the front rail. I have a couple Selig chairs with the same pull to tighten webbing and no medallion, and this is how they are marked. It can be easy to miss. These are Ib Kofod Larsen. I very strongly suspect they were made by Poul Jensen's company Chr Jensen's Møbelsnedkeri. And they are stained beech, which is a bit more difficult to restore. Anybody know if these chairs without the medallions and webbing like this are earlier, later, or some other qualification? | |||||
| Thanks. I thought that teak | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | chelle | General discussion | |
| Thanks. I thought that teak would be expensive and difficult to source, and I'd read that it's often of poor quality. I don't know enough to pick it out myself -- I assume some people could buy it on eBay with success, but I'm afraid I'm not qualified to do so. I suppose I thought there might be a reasonable substitute, but perhaps not. Thanks also for the advice re: dimensions. I'll give your method a shot, am pretty good at math, even if I don't know much about wood 😉 | |||||

| leif ericson- The article is very helpful, thank you. Finishing beech looks a little more difficult than other woods. I suppose the initial finish was likely applied with a toner to make the color even. Do you think they mixed it with a varnish or ?? and sprayed it on? The exposed portion does have a look of teak, but may have changed over time. I guess at this point I will probably drop the desire to make it look original in favor of making look it's best. Yet I'm still not ready to apply an ebony finish (yet). It actually looks like it may be fun to try a ... | |||||
| Latex foam can compress down | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Latex foam can compress down to nothing as it oxidizes if it was thin to begin with. I once redid a seat on a Pascoe dining chair that seemed to have no foam at all. Turns out the old foam was only about 1/16th of an inch thick. (pics below) You wouldn't see any of the sand-like old foam sifting out because it can't get through the leather! I think on fabric-upholstered chairs you most see it sifting through the weave, not leaking at the seams. You might be able to feel loose foam-sand at the bottom of the back rest---maybe? Unless it hasn't gotten to ... | |||||
| Well a couple already know | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| ... a combo that made it difficult to determine what the frame looked like. The seller sent a few more photos that showed the P Jeppesen green sticker labels as well as the "Y" side rail that I knew I had seen somewhere before. However almost all Poul Jeppesen lounge chair searches came up empty until some Google word combo search came up with an old eBay listing showing the same chair design with the same sticker. So that finally convinced me that the labels were most likely legit and not something added by a seller in the past. www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ ... | |||||
| I like your "sky-like nimbus" | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| I like your "sky-like nimbus" approach to lighting the ceiling SDR. Creating the illusion of depth and space in environments is so important. (Too bad more are not fluent in this skill) And as for the Guggenhiem hanging issues and "neither solution did justice to the art"... I think the problem was that the museum itself was the art-- and was far too interesting to take a back seat to the paintings and objects installed in it. I assume that argument was made many times since its inception. Maybe it should only be experienced "empty"? (But full of light, wh ... | |||||

| Patrick (designaddict), It is good to see you guys have a sense of humor. Yes, Mark is some kind of "piece of work". The good kind. While I found it difficult to believe the basic rules are difficult to find, particularly if you never bother to look, cactus' idea of the "post it" style note would be a step in the right direction. I once told a person, who was free to speak openly to me, that I was not a very understanding person. He said, no you are a very understanding person, you are just not very tolerant. I told him he was correct and to shut the f-c ... | |||||
| There isn't a lot of history | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| There isn't a lot of history known about Arne Hovmand Olsen. Many of his designs aren't well documented, or documented at all, like this desk. This forum is not the place to ask about value. And it is under-appreciated how difficult a question that is. Perhaps your best bet is to check ebay for danish teak desk. Look for sold prices. You will probably find a wide range of prices. It can greatly depend on how good and accurate your photos are; whether you will ship; where you are shipping from; how accurate your description is, etc. But that is just an ... | |||||
| I prefer the personal touch | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | niceguy | General discussion | |
| I prefer the personal touch of a telephone. I find it is easier to locate and speak with the "decision makers" while at the same time it is more difficult for them to say no. I have received all the information I desire and made many long lasting contacts at Herman Miller, Knoll Chicago and corporate headquarters, Fritz Hansen and many others discussed on this forum. The cost of a recent telephone call from the southeast United States to New Zealand is meaningless compared to the "no charge" service I received (along with a corporate invite to the recent N ... | |||||
| Thanks Spanky and Niceguy. | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Admin | General discussion | |
| Thanks Spanky and Niceguy. A more personal note: Often I (Patrick) feel guilty of not being able to contribute more to the forum. The evolution of the site and the workload which increases constantly leaves little free time to intervene regularly in the forum. I find it even more difficult to initiate new discussions, for another more pragmatic reason. My English is very limitated. Yes, I know ... It's difficulty to believe. But when we first launched the website, I did not understand or spook a word of English. Of course, today I can read everything and for ... | |||||
| SDR: we must be seeing | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| SDR: we must be seeing different things here. A little metal nail through the tenon and up into the leg would make that joint significantly more durable especially to withdrawal stress. Withdrawing a tenon that has been nailed is extemely difficult short of drilling holes around the nail head and pulling the nail or breaking the mortise. Note that I mean durable in the sense that technically the joint has already failed as it is wiggles, but as a practical matter, the sitter will not land on the floor because the joint will not completely fail (separate) f ... | |||||
