| It is an LC4, which was | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | Identification | |
| It is an LC4, which was actually designed in 1928. I have seen dozens of these over that past years, but have yet to see one that is genuine; as Kyle said these are very frequently copied. If you google it, there are a number of sites that address how to tell if it is a real Cassina produced version. There is also a few threads on here on the topic as well, I believe. If you still have difficulty telling, there are numerous talents on this site that could probably help further. | |||||
| Need better pictures to be | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | Identification | |
| Need better pictures to be certain, but I would bet a fair amount that you do not have Rosewood there. I am also leaning towards late 60's American production, as well. Really need better pictures of everything, though to make any determinations. Close ups of the top, bottom, any joints, those pull out trays. Not marked at all? If it does turn out to be a stained ash/elm, american production, which is where I would stake my money, then we may have quite a bit of difficulty identifying it. | |||||
| Better a Smart One than a Dumb One | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Better a Smart One than a Dumb One First, go look it up: The October 1958 issue of "Interiors" contains a 4 or 5 page article describing in detail the development of the "Swaged Leg" group, including numerous design and/or engineering difficulties. I can't find an on-line copy of that. But I assume that you have a library where you are, Shooter, so maybe you can do some work yourself rather than just sit on your rear and make comments that do not advance the discussion. Second, Stanley Abercrombie's book on Nelson ("The Design of Modern Design") -- the on ... | |||||

| ... because you can write this shit, doesn't mean somebody can say it!" IMHO, intepreters of other's work have a long history of bitching and complaining about the difficulties of executing other's work. But here's the thing: it is precisely because creative artists think new things that there is something to complain about regarding execution. The Army in WWII came up with a wonderful acronym for the way things were when they were executing one of the generals battle plans: SNAFU aka Situation Normal All Fucked Up. Great generals, leaders, architects and creat ... | |||||

Fuller and Wright also liked to discuss and formulate ways that would make possible the design of a new type of tower first presented as St. Mark's-in-the-Bowerie and later in its physical form as the Price Tower." Not much info, but plenty to speculate about, hence my wish for a fictional account. Perhaps historical research could reveal more facts (letters?) who knows? Bucky's Chronofile or other records might have something in them on this. | |||||

Upholstery on Aluminum Group chairs is notorious for difficulty if not impossibility to effect satisfactory replacement without specialized skills and tools. I'd recommend seeking advice from Vitra regarding repairs or waiting for another chair in better condition to present itself. | |||||

| Mid Century Modern Beedroom Set | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Sheahan39 | Identification | |
| Hello, I acquired a really interesting mid century modern bedroom set, but I am having difficulty finding and info on the design, etc. The only piece I have seen so far that resembles my pieces was said to be make by Young Manufacturing Group. The pieces are very interesting and have a bow front. They've been painted of course, but I have stripped the legs of a piece and it looks to be walnut. I can't seen to find any markings either. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. | |||||

| What’s the right finish for mahogany chairs | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | Browkin | Repair | |
| Hi folks, I work on some mahogany chairs and different to teak wood (what’s is really easy to work with) I have difficulties to find the right finish for mahogany. I sanded them up to 300 grit (what was pretty tough, cause the wood is quiet hard) and applied some oil. The effect is strange, cause after oiling the wood seems dry and rough. Either the wood absorbs too much oil and I should keep going with sanding and oiling. Or oil is the wrong choice here and I should switch to some sort of lacquer. Someone has experience with that sort of wood? Thanks in a ... | |||||

| Tom, of course you may call me Steve, and thank you for that reply. I am sorry to hear that there are difficulties afflicting you, in these already troubled times. When it comes to retiring from full-time employment, I can report that keeping one's hand in the game, one way or another, has proven to be both satisfying and crucial to mental and physical health. I am the same age as the current President and I find that "use it or lose it," while essential, is not the whole story.

| @wesemael Thank you for response, much appreciated. My intent was not to distract from @edmccoll's original post and I am not personally familiar with these sideboards. I did find it curious, however, that there are a number of blatant copies of Glatzel's design, apparently contemporary, that ended up on the European vintage furniture market so many decades hence. I suppose a smaller cabinet shop somewhere producing a limited run might be possible, but unlikely, as that would seem like a losing business venture when one considers the trouble and expense invo ... | |||||
