neither, allisonn. they are "original" because they are made by the company who bought the licensing and rights from verner panton's wife, who is still alive and is charged with faithfully producing his designs.

may not be be any love for him with AT commenters, but he is a giant of 20th century design and i for one am thrilled to see his stuff back in production.

they may not be museum pieces, but they definitely are vintage collectibles - and whether cars or furniture, their monetary value is greatly diminished by removing or covering the original finish.

and, as a point of fact, most museums that house industrial and product design (including furniture) most definitely have pieces that were / are mass produced. think eames, nelson, dieter rams, sotsass, etc. etc.

bepsf, knoll produces the bases for their saarinen tables in china. however, the tops are made in italy (marble) and the states (wood).

i just don't understand how such a high profile retail operation can legally get away with doing blatant (and appalling) knock-offs of the Egg and Swan chairs by Arne Jacobsen.

odd. an upholstered platner chair should not go anywhere near anyone's back yard.

it would be helpful to put that hourly rate with an estimation of how many actual hours we are looking at. can someone shed any light on what it takes hour-wise to put together one living room, bedroom, etc.? i really don't know if that means 10 hours, 100 hours, etc.

also, do interior designers ever do a couple hour consultation to get you started on basic layout options for individual rooms? or do they only come on for fuller scale projects, including buying?

most of the matera bed IS solid walnut. only the large pieces (headboard, footboard and drawer fronts) are veneer. if they were solid wood it would be more expensive and be much more prone to warpage or splitting.

bepsf:

remove the coat and hat to go outside and it then becomes quite obvious what is hanging on the wall. otherwise, i am guessing, designers never would have found it a useful or fun exercise to design coat racks.
