| Right on. One might add, that if the chip cannot be readily pressed, dry, into the divot from which it came, so that the surfaces are *flush*, then gluing will be futile until material has been removed from the surfaces of the split material -- loose or torn fibers, grit, etc. Torn wood is often difficult to compress completely, without the removal of some excess. | |||||

| I have had both Nelson CSS and cado I have a Cado wall unit currently in my home and have had the Nelson CSS. I loved them both for different reasons. CSS- Pros- so sleek! so many components you can buy- amazing lighting, desks, tables, shelves cabinets, chalkboards etc etc. CONS- -so. many. pieces. the shelving hardware is fussy- too many small pieces- you lose one small bolt and you will be paying $30 for a replacement on ebay. -installation can be a pain lining up all of the in rail brackets that hold up the components- would be difficult to install if ... | |||||
| Yes, Kav, the various oil finishes generally available | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| ... often when subjected to heavy use or harsh environments (heat, humidity, UV). One nice thing about oil is the way it enhances the color, contrast and optical depth to the wood grain, to make it "pop", as the colloquial expression goes. The natural waxy resins in some tropical species can cause compatibilty problems with some finishes. This is very much the case with teak, and it has a nasty reputation for being difficult to glue successfully, as well. For some reason, though, linseed oil-based "Danish" finishes don't seem to exhibit these issues with teak. ... | |||||
| Removing the SE68 Upholstery | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | supreme47 | General discussion | |
| Removing the SE68 Upholstery Has anyone ever removed the upholstery of an Egon Eiermann SE68 chair? I own a few total black ones, but I still need two more to complete the dining table. Now I've the oppurtunity to get some chairs with black bases and upholstered seats and rests, like on the attached picture. My plan is to remove the upholstery and then varnish the seat and rest in black. But before trying I'd like to know how easy or difficult this may get and if someone did that before. Thanks in advance. | |||||
| I could never hate metal. | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| I could never hate metal. Heck, I even took a blacksmithing class last week. But, come to think of it, the hammers all had wooden handles and I wore a leather apron and glove on my other hand! Fastfwd finds comfort in a different aesthetic and that's perfectly valid, if difficult for me to comprehend fully. As I put lips to glass, however, I can't argue that the variety of materials we have at our disposal all play important roles in how we live. Some of my favorite vintage pieces of furniture incorporate metal components quite successfully. The surfaces mos ... | |||||
| Hmm | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Hmm Difficult to say for certain from your photos, but it does look odd. There should be a manufacturing sticker. Angle of the backrest looks off. The residual stain/paint on the shock mounts. More photos would help -- e.g. straight on shot showing the shape of the backrest. Also, how much does the chair weigh? Thicker plywood would cause the chair to be much heavier. | |||||
| thanks | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | superdeluxe20 | General discussion | |
| thanks Thanks richard & spanky. i had already checked out the suppliers you mentioned richard but they dont stock the webbing i'm after. I have a number of chairs in both the cotton and poly which need rewebbing. The polyester appeals due to it's thinness - almost translucence - which allows the frame to be seen through the webbing. I can't believe it's so difficult to find! | |||||

| Risom Armchair Reweb superdeluxe20 It is a popular misconception that only polyester or parachute webbing was used. He was using woven cotton also. But the colours are somewhat difficult to get with the exception of black & white. There is one manufacturer who indicated he might be able to dye/colour-match to order. If interested I can get back to you. If you are after the obligatory black - then, try Arnold Webbing or Shann - all the best. | |||||

| Grendel To address your original question, Lunchbox is correct. The LAR is nice to look at, but difficult to live with. I'm 6'4" and I'd rather sit on the floor than struggle with a cat's cradle base Eames chair. The LAX, MAX and even the SAX I find very comfortable. When the seat is pitched and the pressure is taken off your bottom and put on your lower back, it makes the hard fiberglass chair much more comfortable. Additionally, you show a seating group with a sofa and other chairs. if you have a couple LARs the seat height will be much lower than the rest ... | |||||

| ... wood, and has been stained a walnut color by the factory, and then given a protective varnish finish. Doing a full refinish on these chairs is quite challenging, especially if it involves removing the varnish coat and having to re-do the stain. Even with all of the old finish removed, beech can be quite difficult to stain evenly, and might require some specialized processes, like the use of pre-stain conditioners, or non-pigmented dyes. I have had some experience re-doing an armrest on a similar Selig chair, and I had a host of problems with it. | |||||
| Looks right to me, too. | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Looks right to me, too. And I think Mark's probably right about Vitra. That is the Euro base. The quality of the casting and finish of the seat pan support in your closeup photo is a good clue and I remember seeing a vaguely similar orange Vitra decal on a 670 years ago. The arm pads look to be the longer, squarer, earlier ones, which I prefer. Nice grain on the veneers and the cushions are squashed just right. It's gonna be difficult to find an ottoman that's a good match, though. Good Luck! | |||||
