	RE: Seating: Paper Cord Replacement	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	... it can be done. It would be the same as weaving rattan, only maybe more difficult as leather isn't as stiff as rattan and may be hard to get through the final rows. Just guessing. If you mean doing a seat out of a solid piece of leather, sure. Upholster it the same way fabric is done on Møller chairs. The only vegan leather I have any experience with is the stuff Birkenstock uses for sandals, which is too thick for most upholstery. But i'm sure there are lighter weights available. There's a thread here somewhere about how to do fully upholstered seats ...
	RE: ID midcentury desk chair	1 Relevance	6 years ago	cdsilva	Identification
	It is difficult to tell from the resolution of the photo, but it appears that the "leather" on the arms is peeling (indication of bonded leather). Rule of thumb: peeling leather = not something valuable
	RE: Need new skeleton key lock	1 Relevance	6 years ago	tktoo2	Repair
	@creativemike, In the US, it's called a full-mortise chest or drawer lock. Searching online reveals a wide variety of sizes and styles, but an exact-match replacement might be difficult or impossible to source. There's really not a lot that can go wrong with these, though. I'd suggest having a locksmith look at it first. Could just be that the key is worn or the mechanism is bound.
	RE: Danish Cane+Teak Chair?	1 Relevance	6 years ago	Andersen	Identification
	I totally agree with @cdsilva. The cane looks original, and I can't imagine there was cord before and one would find someone to replace the cord with such a difficult caning. I would not be surprised either if you would find out that the seat was originally in cane too, but the upholstered seat makes a kind of sense...
	RE: Recently acquired?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	frankielemmons	General discussion
	... I read on Hoyrup's website ( http://schiolers.dk/ ) that Ikea was an early customer that encouraged them to continue experimenting with the diY models, and that the Butterfly was the first of this kind of design. I haven't yet fitted them to hang as pendants (and am hoping that it won't be too difficult to find the right size hardware), but to see how the light plays on them I sat them on top of my Castore table lamps.

	dressing table vanity ID	1 Relevance	7 years ago	lexi	Identification
	I am hoping someone here can provide information about this dressing table / vanity unit. Very often attributed (? ) to Arne Vodder. Hmmm. One seller even says designed by Arne Vodder and "edited" ,if you don't mind, by Olholm . Many examples online but not one label or makers mark pictured.Quelle surprise !! The legs are very like those found on other Olholm møbelfabrik vanity tables but that is where the similarity ends. Any suggestions? Thoughts? ps; Hope everyone is keeping well and coping with this social separation/ isolation situation.Difficult times indeed. Attachment: vanity-desk2.jpg
	RE: Lockdown Blues	1 Relevance	7 years ago	lexi	Off topic
	@herringbone. Hi to you too. That is an impressive piece of woodworking. A lovely way to pass the time. I also admire your diligence with regard to the research ; It's a pity you can't do it in person. I think this social distancing is probably the most difficult part for most people. Luckily I escape to work 3 times a week , though all converstion takes place behind a mask !! 😷 I am immersing myself in gardening, with the able assistance of my daughter. Your guess about the lamp is a reasonable one, given the design/style ,so no need for "shame". T ...
	RE: Lockdown Blues	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Herringbone	Off topic
	Well, @lexi, diligence is one thing. But I can’t really help it, because I am also curious as hell. I have an interest in people as well as in furniture. And I want to combine these two. That‘s why I read every designer‘s biography I can get. When I see a round chair for instance, I envision Wegner drawing it. And I envision the people at Johannes Hansen‘s workshop making it, shaping it, glueing it, weaving it. I always want to get the whole picture, the process, not just the finished product. This is quite easy with Wegner and Hansen, of course. With lesser ...
	RE: K. Larsen-inspired chair	1 Relevance	6 years ago	Andersen	Identification
	@cdsilva & @lexi thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Unfortunately, I could not see the chair in person, but my guess would be there is no label on it... hope to find a "real" K.F. chair, but these are difficult !
	RE: Chair Identification help!	1 Relevance	6 years ago	Kyle Barrett	General discussion
	This is precisely my logic. My module tutor has advised that she's had other students try it and she's said everyone single one at some point in the process said it was a lot more difficult than they could have expected. So I've already kind of crossed it out. But it's a nice thought for the future when other far more clever humans have streamlines the process so people like me can have a go. We did a little machine learning and it was already complex, but I suspect with less curated datasets, like scraping images on the web it can get far, far more complex. ...
	RE: I miss Aunt Mark...	1 Relevance	5 years ago	tktoo2	Off topic
	@waldorf, You are too kind, but flattery will get you ...everywhere! I visit the forum out of habit (one of many, not all good). The pandemic has been a difficult time for so many. It's natural to seek human interaction when we've all been cooped up under duress, even if only through words on a screen. Yearning for the old days is a symptom, too, I think. The more social among us, like Mark, suffer the most it often seems. I like to imagine him in a safe, well appointed place attired in stylish lounge wear, fine Italian slippers, surrounded by close friends, ...
	RE: Wegner CH36?	1 Relevance	5 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	I imagine someone has documentation somewhere, but the stickers and the Georg Jensen upholstery law label are extremely convincing. The mid to late 1960s were strange and difficult years for danish modern, especially for the high end stuff like Wegner. In fact, Georg Jensen in the USA would go bankrupt from opening a very expensive new furniture showroom in NYC very shortly after this.
	Help needed: Authenticate a PK65 Kjærholm table	1 Relevance	6 years ago	carl.cedraeus@gmail.com	General discussion
	... (or was this just the chairs?). Furthermore, I have not been able to locate any replicas of the PK65-model (although a replica pk61 is not difficult to find). I would appreciate any help I can get. Please find embedded photos of the table Much appreciated, Carl Attachment: pk65kjaerholm.png
	RE: Eames PACC with no stamp - is it legit?	1 Relevance	6 years ago	DrPoulet	Identification
	... in Europe (at least here in France) where they are far less common. To give you an exemple, market price for a vintage DSW in nice condition with unoriginal base is around 350-450€ / piece (and that’s not 1stdibs price but rather CL). HM ones are super difficult to find over here and as people tend to think Herman Miller is the real deal, they are usually more expensive than Vitra.
	RE: Finn Juhl Bwana chair	1 Relevance	6 years ago	cdsilva	Repair
	Good luck finding a parts chair. Chances are slim, but you never know. Based on the top rail shape and construction, it looks like a difficult piece to create from scratch correctly. The cross section is not rectangular, there are zigzag joints at roughly the quarter points, and the curve needs to be exact to have a good fit with the backrest. It’s certainly possible to make, but if you don’t do it yourself, I could see custom fabrication for that being pricey. Attachment: DF4320F1-8981-43B3-977B-9BFEC94616C9.png
