Only in 1971-1979 vitra made these chairs out of colored plastic that therefore had the desired color. However, these chairs were reinforced whit ribs at the bottom. on my chairs you can clearly see the stickers that they were produced by herman miller showing that they are at least from 1971. and if it would be the true color, the sticker of "herman miller collection would not be ap ... | |||||

They're not terribly difficult, but they do require specialized fabric-laminating and foam-cutting skills. The fabric isn't cheap, and once it's laminated to the foam it can't be reused, so I wouldn't want to be my local upholsterer's guinea pig even if he did the work for free... Especially since Knoll still makes the covers. I think the best option BY FAR is to buy a new cover from Knoll. Wait for their 15%-off sale if you can. The second-best option - ... | |||||

| Dear fastfwd... You are right, there are two different sets of salt and peppar shakers, but I am very doubtful that there is anyone left at Stelton that could answer your questions. I have quite a number of catalogues from Stelton and there "sales bible" but non of the catalogues is dated, so it is difficult to reconstruct the past assortments. I am sure that the different sizes were designed by Arne Jacobsen because they have been in the assortment for a long long time and Peter Holmblad did consult his "father" on these things. The most likely date is that ... | |||||

As for repair. That's the easy part. Any good auto shop will do them or you could do it yourself with a fibreglass repair kit. Experience has taught me to affix to small nails across the break within the fibreglass before you repair them as they'll give it extra strength. | |||||

| I like some of the tables. The heavier, wider ones. The rocking horse---not so much. Unless there's a hand hold at the rear that doesn't show in this photo, it would be difficult for a parent to pick it up and move it. It also looks like it would be rather heavy--also impractical for moving it. | |||||

| Thanks for the input. Do you... Thanks for the input. Do you think that it would be important to find someone who is familiar with Danish furniture or just anyone with re-canning experience? We agree that since it is such a high quality item that it may be worth having a professional make the repair, but are open to doing it ourselves if it is not too difficult. Am I correct that the material appears to be cane? I've seen a few people mention it may be something like hemp. | |||||

Check out the PP Mobler website so you get an idea of what i'm talking about. http://www.pp.dk/index.php?page=collection&cat=2&id=10 I've heard the papa bear is very difficult to upholster, so you might want to make sure the person doing the upholstery has done a few of these! Hope this helps. Mike | |||||

It does expand though, so clamping or taping pieces together is necessary. After gluing I scrape away the glue on the surface, and have found I can oil that area and the oil will penetrate the wood with no problem. | |||||

I know a seller who simply copies other auction site listings in Japan and elsewhere , lists them as his own for 2-3xs the asking price and then buys the original, if someone bids on his fake listings... or like most the time, the original sells before he can secure it, and tons of confused collectors have to get their money back. I already spoke with Ebay about this, and the process is difficult for them to evaluate if the items are "real" , as he is not selling recent Chinese co ... | |||||

| Industrial arts ripped me off too. But I sort of deserved it. Well I would like to introduce myself as the noob who bought two lemon Zeniths and the Black LCM and one of the recent LCWs. I am out over 4000.00 Needless to say, I contacted Fred to discuss my desire for sending the chairs back. I am a newbie of course in the collecting of Eames ( my expertise lies elsewhere sadly) But as soon as I received the chairs I had a few misgivings in my short time of study. 1. The zenith labels looked too perfect and recently printed. But I could be paranoid due to the ... | |||||

When I got a bigger TV I had to re-position the wooden strips to accommodate, but that was just poor planning on my part. Another pro is that the hardware to attach the pieces to the wooden strips on the wall is one "U" shaped metal bracket for *all* the pieces. Simple and easy to manufacture if you need more (the wooden dowels for the Cado are similarly simple; I also have a Cad ... | |||||

| . Hi Kevin Have you ever drilled into a hex bolt before? I only ask as they are very difficult to do. And you'll know what I mean when you make an initial attempt. But if you do make sure you have a few drill bits spare and 'steady as you go'. Make sure the drill bit is watered down also. Drilling slowly into metal requires a form of lubrication in most circumstances. As for removing the 'leftovers' only time and patience will tell with that. Worst case scenario there are machine shops that will remove it. | |||||
