| Dear SDR, | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear SDR, I can only guess...but there is a long tradition in using pear wood for tooling. The most prominent one is, or was...the art of making foundry patterns for sand moulds. Although this might be far from the clamps you are showing the reason behind it might be the same: dimensional stability in changing relative humidity. Another consideration might be an advise my father always gave us, to use a softer wood to clamp another piece of wood in order not to leave an imprint in the piece of wood you where working on. I suspect that pear wood is about the ... | |||||

| some ideas - great project. sounds like you've got a solid direction. you might also consider: 1) painting the stair treads in a lighter color, or refinishing the stair treads in a blond or white-washed finish 2) add LED lighting under the stair treads, so that the stairs glow at night, for safety and for accent 3) change the stair rails, possibly painted steel with colored acrylic panels 4) add some downlighting and some pendant light fixtures, so that you get a top-down element happening in your space, so that it looks less static, more dimensional 5) stee ... | |||||
| Architects design | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Architects design cool furniture. The same disciplines -- promoting order, rational structure, and inventive form -- that mark good architecture, are applied with equal success to furniture, perhaps. Architects, as a group, seem to possess a "design DNA," individually or collectively, that lends itself to the making of elegant and carefully-considered three-dimensional objects. Perhaps it's just the patience which they must possess in order to see a building project through, from the statement of the problem, through the design process and then the agoni ... | |||||

Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien's "My Beautiful Backside" (Doshi Levien for Moroso) as another example of their line of innovative and timeless designs that combine an interesting fusion of cultures and disciplines with traditional craftsmanship techniques. I also like the Patricia Urquiola's "Tropicalia" chair that you listed, for its bold graphical and three dimensional qualities. I don't know ... | |||||

| Thanks for the link to the Popular Woodworking page, minimoma. It's good to have a (presumably) accurate dimensioned drawing of the short version of the bench. While the description includes mention of splined miters to the base, the splines are not illustrated. And the note "screw or glue base to bench" is misleading: I don't think any experienced maker would conclude that glue alone would secure the leg, considering possible live loads on the joint . . . | |||||

| Heath, it's my understanding that Eames devised the rubber shock mount as a means to allow flexibilty at small-dimensioned critical attachment points. Making them rigid, arguably, would mandate larger or thicker components to compensate for stresses. But you're right in that they present a weak point in the chairs' structural longevity. Again, this has to do with Eames experimentation with unproven technology. | |||||

| 4.75" seems too thick. My Womb chair and settee have 4" cushions. Both pieces have been reupholstered, but they were done by different upholsterers who were told to use Knoll's original dimensions, so the fact that they both ended up at 4" leads me to believe that that was the Knoll spec. Plus, they look just like the original-upholsterychairs I've seen in person and the original-upholstery settees I've seen in photos. Womb cushion thickness came up once before: https://www.designaddict.com/comment/133029#comment-133029 | |||||

| . Suddenly you are in a space packed with unfamiliar objects, like a trade fair. The scales shift once again; dystopian visions seep into the picture. 'New City,' a projected three-dimensional display of a virtual world by Peter Frankfurt, Greg Lynn and Alex McDowell, is a model of an idealized society where buildings, cities and entire geographic regions all flow seamlessly together. It suggests how the Internet could be used as a testing ground for an emerging utopia. Perhaps the most unnerving project here is 'Architecture and Justice' from the Million Do ... | |||||

| ... clarity in the hands of more reasonable designers. I can't help thinking that Corbu and his friends were gazing intently at their navels with most of their furniture work and couldn't escape from a tradition of excess, so many welds! so much grinding! Which of course gets me thinking about Rococco 🙂 and the middle East, there is a 2 dimensional tradition of what I'd call excess in islamic tile work and carpets, its seems a bit simple to say that the sparsness of Middle Eastern geography influenced Islamic art, perhaps a prohibition against figurative decpi ... | |||||

| ... would give the two connected elements a half cylindrical surface in common, or I would continue and extend the surface of each element past the pivot, so that it hides at least one of the two left-over surfaces. It would also make it a little bit more three dimensional. As far as copyright is concerned I would also make one with 4 elements just to close the door to some "smart" guy who would make this obvious variation on your idea. As long as you cleam copyright (encircled c plus date and owner) it is legally sufficient to publish it on Designaddict. As lo ... | |||||

| Found another photo. You could also try a trick I use quite a lot: Resize the photo until a known element in is the actual dimensions that it is in real life; in this case you can use the width of the head of an L-nail. Then just lay a metric ruler on your computer screen to measure the width of the tape. One thing to keep in mind, though--flat braid stretches a bit and it gets narrower as it is stretched. I would think that the braid used on these chairs is more stable than other braid because otherwise you'd end up with a saggy seat, but not having see ... | |||||
