| mcm or nihilism? | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | bj | General discussion | |
| Hello, I have a (esthetic-moral) dilemma. I'm thinking of making some pieces of furniture. Thusfar we realised a table, square almost box-like, in oak. But as I'm broadening my skills I feel attracted to the techniques and materials used in mcm, in specific scandinavian furniture. The execution, the use of solid wood on edges/legs/handles, the fine proportions. These are things that appeal to me when collecting furniture, but now I'm searching how I can implement these in modern, contemporary furniture and not just make 'retro' furniture. Are there people he ... | |||||

| mfb, No, I do not think the table is a replica. I think it is a poor repair to a damaged area. They look fine. They are for using. You may search for an individual that does automotive restoration and have then look at you tables. Not a "repair", that is what caused this problem in the first place. Stop typing and get busy. Do not, I repeat, do not blame Fritz Hansen for this dilemma and I would not ask them to adjust a lone persons poor handiwork. Good luck. | |||||
| Yes, Eameshead, I still don't | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | kin1117 | General discussion | |
| Yes, Eameshead, I still don't believe there's another story that can top our my experience, lol. I'll try to post a longer version of the story later as well. At this moment, I'm thinking if I should swap on a 4 star base to make it more refined, but then it'd also mean that the chair would no longer be "original"to way it was initially. Silly dilemma, I know. | |||||
| @tktoo I understand the | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | M_Dennis87 | General discussion | |
| @tktoo I understand the dilemma of restoration vs removing. However, it can be argued that the original finish is completely gone to begin with. That begs the question, what was the original finish on the table anyways? Was it simply oil? Wax? Shellac? It would be great if I could have a proffesional gauge the potential rarity and value of the table. I'm not a dealer so retail isn't necessarily a priority, but like I said, I would prefer not to destroy the value either. Can anyone confirm that the base would have been chrome? The black paint is defini ... | |||||

| And,,, | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| And,,, I propose the following solution to your dilemma: Arrange for your furniture to be auctioned after you die. Give each of your kids a check, plus 1/3 of the earnings from the auction. The kids are free to bid at the auction (where they'll have an advantage, since they'll only have to pay 2/3 of what they bid) or to buy each other's shares of the furniture before the auction. | |||||
| Help me pick a coffee table | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | amyhoy | General discussion | |
| ... stuck. I've been turning the details & options over & over in my head til I've gone insane. I've included all the details below, feel free to ignore them if they're annoying 😉 I love light, classy 1970s style. I love Eames and, when he's being more accessible, Nelson. I love bright colors, and a certain type of Swiss/German abstract art. I want something that's approachable and friendly, but not kitschy. My room is enormous, but my pink sofa (husband's choice, believe it or not) is REALLY enormous. Already in the room are 3 pieces of 1970s Danish-style te ... | |||||
| Original Eames Chair Help | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Lenox | General discussion | |
| So this is my first and hopefully not last Original Eames score. I picked these up from a school and they were outside for sometime. The vinyl is intact and when you sit in them they are like a reclining glove. Here is my dilemma: all three are about the same in terms of physical condition. Overtime the sun and rain have had there way with the metal which I believe is aluminum but please correct me if i am wrong. There is some type of clear coating on the metal arms and such. It has broken down only to expose the metal. On one of the chairs I see the w ... | |||||

| yeah... i hear you. and, to that point, it's very similar to the love seat/chair I already have (or maybe the colour is so similar, they look a lot alike). It's a dilemma. One one hand, I want the "look" but on the other...well, obviously, sinking into something comfy really appeals as well. Nothing worse than having people over and everyone's stuck with the "hard" seat 🙂 EamesHead, the Nelson sofa with the buttons? Alas, I have a budget. If only... | |||||
| Pegboard | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Pegboard That was actually one of my concerns at first. But the more I think about it - wouldn't the chair be subject to more stress on a non-tilt base? Won't the tilt give some relief to the stress as the sitter leans back? My dilemma is twofold. One - I kinda really need to have a recline for my desk chair. (altho I do think the non-tilt base is better proportioned for the chair) Two - I have both a spare wire shell and a spare roll/tilt contract base. I'll probably marry the two and see what happens. It is a tiny bit worrisome, though, that the chair do ... | |||||
| Another Nelson clock question | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | MCMLII | General discussion | |
| Hello, we have a dilemma with a vintage Nelson clock we own. The clock in question is a vintage Howard Miller walnut(?) spike clock with the AC plug directly on the back of the clock. The clock is by no means a museum piece but does work and is in good enough condition to use and display. The question is do any of you own this style plug and what have you done with them? I am aware of the round recessed receptacles these clocks use but have not been able locate one. And even if I do I'm not sure I want to rip a hole in a wall to rewire this receptacle. The o ... | |||||
| sofa loveseat...loveseat sofa...sofa loveseat | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | finch | General discussion | |
| ... First off, both me and my wife are somewhat spartan-types with no plans for children. Given this, an 80 to 90" barge seems a little big. Realistically, I rarely sit side by side with three or four people on a sofa. Ever. And the loveseats I see are typically pretty roomy, even for three people of zealous girth. Then again, there's that sprawl-factor a sofa allows, as well as the doghouse factor, too, I suppose. In any event, if anyone has had this dilemma and feels like sharing, well than I wish you would. I appreciate it. | |||||

| ... curved planes. It makes me feel like an interruption. I sit ON it, rather than IN it. Also, there is something about it being a visual "one-liner". As if the designer was more concerned with saving the "look" of two arcs that form the seat and back, than he was with the function. Even though I love the look, its hard for me to warm up to it. These are just personal taste feelings about what I acknowledge to be a great chair. So let me know if you find any of this to be useful in understanding your own dilemma about the Barcelona. ...
