Question 11

How can you tell if a chair is an Eames chair?

Accepted Answer

To tell if a chair is an Eames chair, take a look under the seat or cushion. Authentic Eames lounge chairs are manufactured by Herman Miller and Vitra. If your Eames chair is a Herman Miller original, look for the legendary manufacturer’s specific logomarks on the product (these logomarks can be found on the company’s official website). There is also the manufacturing label, which is usually found under the seat or cushion (unless a former owner removed it). All of the classic Herman Miller designs are paired with a certificate of authenticity. Some designs may also have a medallion attached to certify their authenticity. You can then check trusted online resources to determine if the information on the label is correct for the style of chair (and more info on its construction is available on the official Eames website). You won’t see screws outside of the wood shells on an authentic Eames lounge chair, and prior to the 1970s, original vintage Eames lounge chairs were made with no more than five layers of plywood (during the 1970s, the chairs were made with seven layers). Find a variety of authentic Eames chairs on 1stDibs.

Question 12

Why is a club chair called a club chair?

Accepted Answer

Question 13

What is the difference between an accent chair and a dining chair?

Accepted Answer

The difference between an accent chair and a dining chair comes down to function and design. An accent chair usually goes in a seating area, and makers craft them with comfort in mind. As a result, most accent chairs feature cushioning and upholstery and are characterized by generous proportions. The purpose of a dining chair is to provide a place to sit while enjoying a meal. Usually, dining chairs are lighter and smaller than accent chairs for easy maneuvering. While they may have padded seats and backrests, dining chairs generally aren't as abundantly cushioned as accent chairs. Explore a large selection of chairs on 1stDibs.

Question 14

What is the difference between an Adirondack chair and a Muskoka chair?

Accepted Answer

The Adirondack chair uses a flat yoke at the back while Muskoka might use curved yokes. Shop for an Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair on 1stDibs.

Question 15

What is the difference between a side chair and a Parsons chair?

Accepted Answer

Question 16

What is the difference between a drafting chair and an office chair?

Accepted Answer

Designed for use in front of tall angled drafting and drawing tables, drafting chairs typically feature seat heights of 24 to 32 inches. Explore a wide range of office chairs and drafting chairs on 1stDibs.

Question 17

What is the difference between a club chair and a wing chair?

Accepted Answer

Question 18

What is the difference between an ergonomic chair and an office chair?

Accepted Answer

On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of office chairs.

Question 19

What is the difference between dining chairs and accent chairs?

Shop a wide variety of antique, vintage and contemporary chairs on 1stDibs.

Question 20

What is the difference between an occasional chair and an accent chair?

Accepted Answer

The difference between an occasional chair and an accent chair comes down to usage. An occasional chair is a decorative chair that is placed in a room for its look rather than to function as an everyday seating solution. As a result, occasional chairs may be used infrequently. An accent chair is any decorative chair placed in a seating area. They can be used only occasionally or on a daily basis. Explore a wide variety of chairs on 1stDibs.
