	... with that we re foam the chair with new foam and glue, I am glad to hear that someone discovered a process for removing the glue,foam, it is truly a big mess and a lot of work. But i do agree with every one, they are drilled holes that does diminish the value of the bucket chair and a whole lot of work for a plain chair with little value, I know you all know that the three holes are for ventilation of the original foam and vinyl,

	Modern Woodworks, however,... Modern Woodworks, however, I've already discussed on the forum. His willingness to alter the materiality, design, and modularity of the ESUs throws his credibility right out the window. It proves my point that folks like him - however personable he may be - don't really understand 'design'. He's like an art forger: ... Forgery? A rather hyperactive indictment, I think. Frankly, I think this very modular design lent itself to revision and I suspect that Charles&Ray would not have been the purists that you are, preferring instead ...
	American	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	American It looks like an American-made walnut dresser. I don't think even the name-brand furniture like this has a lot of value so not sure it's worth the effort finding the name. But maybe it is, I dunno. The value has obviously been diminished by painting it---but hey, I kinda like it painted, so. Adding those kind of curved shapes to the front was a popular thing in American furniture design of that era. I found one other of your line just by doing a search for "mid century walnut dresser", plus many others of that style. If you like it, then enjoy i ...

	I agree really really old pi... I agree really really old pieces should be preserved. but we have recovered hundreds of old chairs like swans Eggs, wombs , lots of Eames chairs with Girard fabric and rock hard foam. .Those chairs are a mess and barely worth what the customer paid for them. I would not want them in my house. I have never felt the value has diminished cause they have a fresh new look with a original frame. I guess that is what makes the world go round.

	I don't generally like the... I don't generally like the idea of color/finish changes, Gustaf. My sense is that most designers are very conscious of color as an aspect of production. As seen here in some of the photos, it appears to me that certain objects can be more compromised/diminished than others by decisions regarding color.
	fair enough..........	1 Relevance	17 years ago	chewbacca rug (USA)	General discussion
	fair enough.......... but they have really painted themselves into a corner and their current infrastructure is not sustainable. they either need to sell themselves or file chapter 11 re-organization...... the current DWR is really a diminished version of its former self..... and its current management is running it into the ground.
	What Would Plato Do?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Brent	General discussion
	What Would Plato Do? I don't know... A bad copy still has some reflection of the original, so it has some appeal--or maybe it doubly repulses because it hints at something beautiful made hideous. I knew someone who loved that awful Queensryche song "Silent Lucidity". I told him to listen to "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. These things are like Platonic shadows, diminished copies of the original form.
	i think its a fair question	1 Relevance	18 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	i think its a fair question my take is that his work is similar to wormley in that some pieces are good modern and others are "mannered" for a more conservative market. i feel that his blander stuff does not diminish his better pieces. his tables for glenn were especially nice. it could be the case that there were precious few forward looking companies to work with and folks like the eames' were very talented AND fortunate. perhaps "our modern" was not a big enough market for every forward looking designer and he snuck them in when he could. this is why i gi ...

	... which was progressive in their times. Buying a jaguar xk120 nobody would criticize the suspension or the lack of ps compared to current cars, nobody would complain about the lack of insulation or ethernet hookups in a Frank Lloyd Wright-building. Just like with a vintage car restore it, if necessary, with nowadays means without ruining the patina and the character - they're pieces of design history! But in the end, some scratches or minor "damages" won't diminish the usability, if you want perfection, buy a new one.
	DO NOT forget the very real, very proper and utterly legal...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	... NOT stop the actual product design from being in the public domain. Not including this distinction in your article will greatly diminish its validity. Many people get all worked up about 'knock-offs' that are totally valid legal products. Fake is indeed Fake only if the quality is substandard, the design spec is not honored or someone's legal ownership of the product's design has been impinged upon. Otherwise than that it's all smoke and mirrors to claim ownership of a design because you've trademarked it's (or the designer's) name. That is nearly as underh ...

	... they require my credit card. Make no mistake, there is no altruism going on here, or if there is, it is certainly very much ancillary to the bottom line. Besides, this assumes that I'm trying to discredit the above companies, which I have never done at any point during this discussion. I simply propose a little more skepticism on the subject, and not without reason. I am not religious about furniture. I require facts. It is, after all, an investment and somewhat the sum of its parts, as opposed to an original or an antique, with history and/or provenance, a ...

	Not that you are asking -... Not that you are asking - and this type of post always runs the risk of pissing folks off, but consider pulling the clock down and to the right a few inches, and offsetting your art so it's not hung exactly over your great sofa (both get diminished I think by this presentation). And this will draw more attention to your great AJ lamp. Same with the Bertoia - I would move it to a left angle rather than directly in line with the Nelson bench. And the low Eames table needs to go for something with more height, a Nelson round table ( ...

	To say nothing, of how Bourgeois it comes across. 🙂 If you like it and or love it, buy it. This clock mounted on your wall 25 years from now, label or not, I believe it wouldn't or at least shouldn't have increased, nor diminished your enjoyment of the clock through the preceding 25 years.

	In my opinion it's based on the finish put on the wood. And of course the design has to be pleasing. I often see burl wood furniture with a high gloss plastic looking finish, which I feel kind of diminishes the piece even if the design is good.
