| I stumbled across this broken | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | rich6705 | General discussion | |
| I stumbled across this broken Cesare Lacca table on ebay, and won it on my lone bid of $50. Since the break was clean, it was an easy repair, and I pegged it for extra strength. Today a buddy found a piece of glass at a thrift store for $10 that matched the original dimensions, and now it's back to life. Happy picking! | |||||

| Hi minimoma, You'll have to believe me that I've searched the web up and down looking for drawings. The most advanced image I came across was the one you placed up here from the Wegner museum, but its size won't let me draw dimensions from it. This i the reason I tried to take notes out of a real world chair. I'm almost have it all now, missing only small number of figures. | |||||

| Natti - I don't know if you are doing shop drawings first or you are just using overall dimensions and replicate this rocker by eye. 20 years ago(during the Stone Age), full scale shop drawings were drawn by hand first (top, side, rear etc.) but now, there are resources available online all drawn up and can be printed to full size by going directly to the source. | |||||

| I have found today a chapter on Piano in a book called "Why Architects Draw" (MIT, 1994). The chosen project is the DeMenil Museum; fourteeen drawings from throughout the design and development phases shows, among other things, a series of preliminary versions of the final ferro-cement "leaves" of the roof (as he calls them. The material was suggested "very early in the project.") "Drawing is one of the moments of the theoretical process of architecture. It is a concrete process. You start by sketching, then you do a drawing, then you make a model, and then you go to reality -- you go to the site - and then you go back to drawing. You build up a kind of circularity between drawing and making and then back again. This is very typical of the craftsman's approach. You think and you do at the same time. You draw and you make. And I find it quite interesting that drawing as a pure instrument of a circular process between thinking and doing, drawing is in the middle but it is revisited. You do it, you redo it, and you redo it again." Many of his models are large-scale or of full-size elements. "We often mix models amd drawing. But the model. . .is not actually a representation like a drawing. It is not a wedding cake that you bring to the client. It is more than that. It is the physical translation of the drawing into something three-dimensional. After the model you return to drawing." "Unless you draw something, you do not understand it. It is a mistake that now I understand the problem and now I draw it. Rather, right at the time you draw you realize what the problem is and then you can rethink it." "Designing and making is like having a quiet sort of game and that game is played through drawing." He told Charlie Rose that his older brother chose his father's profession -- building -- but that he wanted to get away from home and go to architecture school. SDR | |||||

| Here are my quick 2 cents on... Here are my quick 2 cents on this, as the proud owner of an old Evans production LCW (Evans produced the chair from 1946 to 1948, before Herman Miller took over). The LCW is a design classic because it achieve success in several crucial dimensions by which a design object can be judged. First, it involved exceptionally innovative (for the time) use of technology. The Eameses (Ray's contribution to the chair, and to most Eames designs, cannot be underestimated) developed a technique for 3-dimensional molding of plywood while ... | |||||

| Isos and Axos are two different ways of creating a 3D impression on a 2D surface. The best way I know how to explain it is through an example. If you were to make an axo of a 10" cube to 1:1 scale, you would first draw a 10" square, preferably at an angle of rotation. Architects used 30, 45, and 60, since we had those triangles handy. Both X and Y axes are true dimensional length and all the angles in plan are accurate as well. Then you would draw 10" lines vertically on the page at each corner, and "cap" them with another 10" square. Now you have a wirefram ... | |||||

| Thanks to everyone for your links and suggestions. I measured the chair a while back against some dimensions I found on the web but I've just done it again using the Knoll link above and several of the measurements are off so I'm guessing it's a repro. Still, it looks cool and it was free so I can't complain! Thanks again. | |||||

| ... a subtle distinction between flat pack and knock down? Much good furniture is knock down along with thousands of other designs, they have a 3 dimensionality when assembled that these thin products don't. The real concern I have though is the longevity of the work, will they be around in 50 years? How well does the material age? Exposed ply edges, chipped veneer, thin melamine and bad edgebanding just doesn't appeal. To claim that the products are 'green' when the lifespan is short seems false to me, The embodied energy of plywood (not sure about mdf)is ... | |||||

Buildings and stories have a metaphorical aspect. The most profound and deeply fascinating (sometimes disturbingly so) are those buildings and stories that are metaphors of the architect/author's own mind. For example, the Canterbury Tales are simultaneously a story of a stage coach ride from A to B and a narrative constructed to seem like the Canterbury Cathedral itself. If the metaphorical aspect of the CTs sto ... | |||||

If the stack of newspapers were quite high and heavy, it could have provide enough weight for the table top to split itself with any piece of wood, no matter how mellow. And the crowning could have popped a chip out of the rim. This is a situation where a teak top would have been much more dimensionally stable and might have survived this. And these pieces oak might have had a lot of internal stresses to begin with. This is what tktoo was saying. ... | |||||

| Does anyone know, were there a variation in van der Rohe MR20 in size. The one I have is 4 cm shorter then the measurements that I saw in a L.M. van der Rohe book. (in hight), other dimensions are OK. Could it be because of the age of the chair and the ware of material ? | |||||

| Huh. They do appear identical except for perhaps wood species. I guess that means at least limited production! The design still feels somehow unrefined to me with all elements sharing similar sectional dimensions, but that's of no help. Is it at all comfortable? Do you know if the other chair originated in Hawaii? OK, got it. Stephen Hynson, Maui. Maybe formerly, Portland, OR. http://www.stephenhynson.com/Stephen_Hynson/Furniture.html#39 | |||||

| Wow Spanky. I was obviously talking about live chickens. Poor things. If we really need to be specific, I was thinking of Transylvanian naked neck chicken (picture below). They are good at producing eggs PLUS they have a meaty body and obviously they need less plucking. I never thought of chicken as fluffy animals, maybe they are different on this side of the Atlantic. However, I think 2 would fit, maybe 3 if they are not too big and asleep but we would definitely need more information about the dimensions of the suitcase. | |||||
