| Why can't you have a cabinet maker cut the shape you need out of a solid teak blank? The overall curve from top to bottom and side to side doesn't look greater then more then an inch of deflection on either side of center. This would then make possible the fabrication using a two inch square piece of dimensional teak, a band saw, router, and drum sander. Should be dead bang simple for a pro. SDR should input on this one. | |||||

| Well. . . it could be said that neither of those specifically addrsses itself to modern design ? Here's one I recently found, from the first paragraph of Thomas L Doremus, "Classical Styles in Modern Architecture" (1994; Van Nostrand Reinhold): "The term "modern" has, in the twentieth century, come to denote a highly sophisticated, intellectual interpretation of architectural form based on human perception of three-dimensional space and emphasizing the technology of its construction." I know there are many others. . . | |||||

| While in any given building environment, georaphically speaking, there will probably be found a set of "standard sizes" for components such as wood doors -- in the US it has been for decades the 80" height by horizontal dimensions in increments of 2" (30", 32", 34", 36" etc) -- with minor resizing downward from these stock sizes being possible, major variations (in height, especially) would have to be custom-made. What is it about American manufacture that appeals to you? Would you not want to have the input of the professioal who will install the door an ... | |||||

| ... panel material (Sound-dead board is sometimes available in a honey-camel color) blocks could be 24, 32 or 48 inches long by 8, 12 or16 inchs high (or any other desired dimension). The effect would be of a coarse fabric pattern or an echo of masonry coursing. It would soften the acoustic atmosphere. A cabinet shop could readily take 4 x 8 sheets of these goods and rip and cut them accurately to your list of parts. The moldings are available in many profiles and various lengths at your lumber yard -- clear pine is the usual material. SDR | |||||

| ... in many industrial contexts for quite some time. But again, the point is not to diminish Dyson's achievement. If we see design in terms of redesign, nobody's achievement will ever be diminished by pointing to a precedent. Both McLaren's and Dyson's can be described as unprecedented products, but it is important to see that this unprecedentedness is based on a (mostly) free-of-charge employment of precedent solutions not devised by the designer in question. If the designer's creativity consist in the ability to redesign (re-visit, re-combine, re-invent) prec ... | |||||
| Eames two seater... | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| Eames two seater... What an interesting idea for some designer to run with. Not the eames idea which is pretty stupid, but rather wouldn't a coffee house, internet cafe or even a pick-up bar with three dimensional seating be fascinating. create a whole bunch of two seaters, or better yet three seaters that allow persons to carry on conversations and flirt with persons not only in the horizontal plane, but above and below them also. it would be an instant sensation, or a complete bust with 20-35 year olds...not sure which...but what fun to try. | |||||

| . Google "building toys" and look for a nice (expandable) maple block set. Both boys and girls should have the opportunity to develop their structural visualization and other skills through play, from an ealy age. It wouldn't surprise me to find that the "Froebel Gifts" are still (or again) available -- the Wright family could have cashed in on the publicity generated by young Frank's early and famous exposure to this set of two- and three-dimensional abstract (geometrical) "learning playthings." And, come to think of it, Frank's son John invented Lincoln Logs, another famous wooden building set. Then there's Tinkertoys. . .drawing supplies. . .simple things that produce complex and unique results -- without batteries ! SDR | |||||

The small building depicted in #280, for instance, is a structural demonstration: steel "moment frames" define the space and support the roof, and are glazed as large windows, while further glazing and some masonry walls complete the enclosure.

| Please ID: Knoll Sarineen Womb chair | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | gray ghost | Identification | |
| ... the chair is that their is no Knoll label attached to the bottom (yes, I know someone could have removed it) and that the height dimension is slightly off from the dimensions listed on the Knoll website. This chair measures a height of 37 inches, as opposed to the Knoll dimensions of 35.5. After a lot of internet research, I was able to locate a few supposed Knoll womb chairs that list a height of 37 inches, but I am still not convinced. I would like to be assured it is an authentic Knoll piece, especially before I order the matching ottoman. Are there r ... | |||||
| First, I TOTALLY agree with | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| First, I TOTALLY agree with you about platform beds that stick out past the mattress. Hate them with a passion! And platform beds with no toekick or whatever it's called---where it's a solid box sitting on the floor, whose dimensions are the same as the mattress. You need to be able to stand with your shins against the bedframe when making the bed or folding laundry, etc. So Peter Deeble avoids those issues with his bedframes but here are several other things about them that I don't care for so much. One, the big gap between the headboard and the matt ... | |||||

| As suggested by Hages, one of the requirements for a repro is "somewhat accurate proportions." This is disappointing to me, for any work of art relies on dimensional proportion as a primary criterion, as an essential factor among the choices made by the designer. And, in any reproduction, surely the easiest part of the process, technically and as a matter of cost, would be to conform to the original dimensions. One wonders if dimensions might have been intentionally modified, in an attempt to counter the (imaginary) need to avoid legal prosecution for "pl ... | |||||

It's a bummer, but the reality is that I need to find another way to make a living, cuz this ain't working.

| ... cut out of the tree. Solid dimensional lumber more frequently cuts through these features in a way that highlights them. Radial cut veneer tends to emphasize the arching grain pattern. Although all of this is highly variable, because of the variability of the tree, and veneer can also be cut in other ways to emphasize the chatoyancy of a piece of wood. I've never seen these table, but I will look around. You are spot on that Kurt Østervig is the first name that comes to mind as the designer to investigate. | |||||
