	phonegirl It's difficult to pin down exactly when Knoll makes/made changes to the designs. I would guess that anything made after 2000 would have the thicker wires, but it may have even been well before then. Yours looks to be vintage. Not early generation, but somewhere in between.
	yeah, hard to defend that purple THING	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	yeah, hard to defend that purple THING Made me laugh at first. At least there is that. Perhaps one could appreciate it for its ATTEMPT at purely formal abstract shape relationships and angles.... (that is, if those relationships were actually well considered.) But in the end, it is still trying to be a chair, and seems to have failed miserably. I appreciate your restraint! Sometimes it is very difficult not to bash.

	... desire. In a room full of junk is an old antique chair a great piece or an old eames shell. That Ibex table would be overlooked by most people in the back of a used furniture store but used in the right way it's fabulous.It also commands big dollars especially if an original Chervet but it's difficult to place in the average home. I had a spectacular vintage Danish sofa delivered at home.Seeing it coming off the truck I said it looked like a piece of junk.It looks nothing like it does in the gallery store all set up nice. The removalist laughed and said tha ...
	I just had a look at mine...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Starline	General discussion
	I just had a look at mine... I just had a look at mine and I can't see it being that difficult. It seems once you unscrew the seat from the frame and take crossbar off backside it should slide off with a bit of fiddling maybe. I would never buy slings though when the chair is only a bit more but the sling price at $900 is silly. If you are set on buying new then go in with cash and offer $1k each and if no wait for a near new used to come up for half the price on Ebay or Craig's list. Or push for much cheaper price on seats maybe as they would have a much bi ...
	Hmmm	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Hmmm By range, do you mean price? I think it's going to be a difficult search in the greater NYC area.

	. Yes it looks like it may be quite difficult to get in, and especially out, of. From a quick glance I can't see it in the big Mathsson book either Mathsson on Berg - 'an uncommon impudence to simply take whatever he wanted from construction methods developed in recent years'

	Jesgord, I love that tapestry. It is also the perfect size to fill a difficult area in my house. Green eyes.

	you're in luck Paulanna... you're in luck Paulanna because all the chair that I found are more expensive than that 🙂 I'll keep looking or I'll buy the icf I showed you... difficult decision 🙁
	Close up of picture	1 Relevance	13 years ago	mrhiltonhead	General discussion
	... in his catalog its difficult to say with 100% certainty it is a Pearsall chair. Maybe its a rarer example of his work. It does have the telltale signs of walnut construction and "look" he displayed in known examples. Another reason I am almost positive is this came from an estate in Johnston, PA with jacks end tables. It would be nice to be able to identify the chair and ottoman as a authentic Pearsall. Thanks for your help!
	ZooMob, your concern is certainly well-founded.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	ZooMob, your concern is certainly well-founded. Though, it can be difficult to assess condition and/or likelihood of imminent failure. What do you see that makes you say they look "dry"? Are there any visible cracks? Is there evidence of adhesive bond failure? Some rubber-based compounds can remain resilient indefinitely if kept in stable environments, but there are enough horror stories to worry any owner of a vintage chair. I'd suggest removing the arm pads and have someone sit in the chair and gently flex the back to and fro while watching and feeling for ...
	Drexel Dateline	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Drexel Dateline Does anyone know the designer of the "Dateline" group made by Drexel in the '50's - inherited my mom's dining table #7701-4 made Aug 1956 and 4 chairs #7702 and wanted more info. Just read that Furniture Brands (Drexel's parent company) just filed for Chapter 11 and all sorts of their stores are closing so I suspect trying to obtain info from them would be extra difficult right now. Thanks
	Depends on the Upholsterer	1 Relevance	13 years ago	waterbedsalesman	General discussion
	Depends on the Upholsterer Some upholsterers charge an extra fee if you supply your own material (usually by the yard). I would get quotes before committing to any one textile. If you plan on doing it yourself keep in mind some textiles are much more difficult to work with; loose weaves commonly found in mid-century textiles tend to fray easily and require a delicate hand (I have a Tuxedo bench done in Linomix and I'm still picking threads off of it), heavy weight textiles may be more difficult to shape and fit to the piece.
	Usually....	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	Usually.... Bob Vila (This Old House) is a pain in the ass. How wonderful that he approved such a modern structure. On our island of PB, they (planning and zoning) have the power to tell you what to build, and what to plant, how to have your pet (or date) defecate properly, and what time of day you're allowed to do it. It's a difficult process. why not? Aunt Mark

	... up on eBay, often more costly than the lamp itself. Ordering directly from Lotte is difficult, as they seem to be hopelessly backordered. I found a nice old Lotte lamp a couple of years ago in a thrift and have yet to find the shade. I just can't bring myself to put a generic shade on the thing...the beauty really being the lamp as it was meant to be.....

	... be expected with heavy and careless use. On the later shells (particularly institutional shells used on stacking bases), the shock mounts would frequently pop off, separating cleanly from the epoxy. I believe this is due to the angle of the brackets on the stacking bases, causing significant sideways stress and pressure on the mounts. The frequency of this occurrence could be related to a particular shell manufacturer, epoxy type, or just production run. It would be difficult to pin down the exact source(s) without a large set of data.
