| I'm curious as to why you say that the hide isn't available, tynellbuyer. Is unborn calf really so hard to come by? I've never examined one of these slunk-upholstered chairs up close, but I'm guessing that the hide is simply glued to the seat and backrest then trimmed (perhaps the hide edges are then finished off with dye?). Why would a redo be so difficult, for the sake of argument? | |||||

| ... time appreciating its design. The size is good for all but the largest hands, and the shape lets the lighter fit comfortably and unobtrusively in a pocket without snagging. The spring holding the lid is strong enough to prevent accidental opening, but when the lid is deliberately raised, the spring resists over only a small angle and then helps lift the lid the rest of the way, so it opens with a satisfying snap. The flint wheel is easily operated by an adult with either hand, even while wearing gloves, yet it's difficult for children to operate it even i ... | |||||

| ... connect the desk top to the return from underneath. So yes, you could buy a credenza, have a desk top fabricated, and attach the two to make your own EOG. You could have the modesty panel recreated as well I suppose. The harder thing would be to have a set of matching legs made for your desk top. difficult, but not impossible. The EOG came with options such as the orientation of the return and the configuration of the return/ credenza. But if you find a credenza that is a configuration that would work for you, the desk top is probably the simplest part to m ... | |||||

| ... I'm not familiar with the exact model you refer to, if it looks like either of the designs that I posted pictures of I think it would make a handsome, comfortable and useful piece. Nice vintage modern beds or headboards are difficult to find, especially the queen and king sizes. FYI, the two I posted images of are Wormley designs for Dunbar. You said yours was Drexel, but I knew that Wormley did some designs for Drexel and I wondered how similar yours was to the Dunbar headboards. Again, I don't see why you'd have buyers remorse if it is useable condition. ... | |||||

| ... curtains," or frosted/textured glass -- would provide the desired privacy ? The sills are already fairly high, for such extensive glazing -- so privacy shouldn't be too difficult an issue -- I would think. The occupants will have discovered how their ceilings are shaded from outside light -- and the interiors correspondingly less "alive" ? -- by virtue of the spandrel of wall above the glass. Modernists were delighted to experience the effect of glass that went all the way up: the light that reflected upon the exterior extension of the roof (the eaves) co ... | |||||

| good luck knowing how the price of the eames lounge chair is going up lately, it would be difficult to get parts to fix your chair. Because that's the only solution I can find, get new parts but when you see just a set of wood panels that go for $1000, an armrest being sold for almost $300, good luck. | |||||

| This was on dezeen: "London designer James Laurie has cut the top of a drinking glass into a point so that it can be used to trap spiders in the corner of a room. Called 'Cornered', the tumbler can still be used for drinking." But isn't it much more difficult now, to slide the piece of paper to trap the spider for later release? And still be used for drinking? Really? http://www.dezeen.com/2010/03/29/cornered-by-james-laurie/ | |||||

| Bruce Upholstery... Bruce Upholstery (google it) based in London, recommended by Fritz Hansen, will do the Swan and Egg in Fabric or leather. Leather supplied by Andrew Muirhead of Glasgow. I'm currently having my Swan re-upholstered in leather. Anne's super helpful and nice, you'd need to get the chair to them. It's a very difficult chair to do, many are reluctant to touch it, you get what you pay for, but be warned- it's not cheap, not by any means- even for the swan and I'd imagine the Egg is significantly more. | |||||
| They did not make just one | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Ark of Decorati... | General discussion | |
| They did not make just one A dealer who assited me in building a collection once told me "they rarely made just one" and that if I did not get what I desired the first time to wait for the next one. That being said, I would not pay anything more than twenty five cents on the dollar for a unit in very good condition. During these economic times (and all others) cash is king. Always start low as it is possible to go up, but it is very difficult to go down. They crank these out like gumballs. Bargain hard and good luck. | |||||

Walls with already weak or loose mortar may however be badly damaged, as the ivy is able to root into the weak mortar and further break up the wall. Subsequent removal of the ivy can be difficult, and is likely to cause more damage than the ivy itself. Modern mortars that contain portland cement and little lime are stronger than older mortar mixes that were largely composed of just sand and lime. Most mortar mixes changed to contain P ... | |||||
| Loose screws? | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Poach | General discussion | |
| Loose screws? When I've taken these chairs apart (and I've taken apart several of them), the screws are usually very difficult to remove. The chance that any of the screws just worked themselves loose is pretty unlikely. Lusifersum has the disassembly procedure roughly correct, although in most cases, all the screws holding the chair together are Phillips head. Use a large #3 Phillips, or you'll ruin the screw heads. I've seen the Allen screws too, but I think it's only on more recent chairs, and only used on the screws holding the arms to the steel plate ... | |||||
