| DrPoulet, Excellent... I prefer your plan. The ottomans you "have" are far superior to the chairs you "may" acquire. I fear the "rules of diminishing returns" will begin quickly pursuing items not readily available (undefinable transaction at a great distance). They look to be great users. Congratulations. | |||||

If the design is seen by the client as serving the purposes of the institution paying the bills, it is perhaps built. (It might be claimed that the most successful structures, from a purely aesthetic standpoint, are those in which the architect's concepts are least diminished by client second-guessing and editing, though that would be hard to prove, I suppose.) I proposed the alternative category of Expressionist architecture, because I think that a good deal of what we are lo ... | |||||

| LRF Personally I'm not aware that they've diminished in popularity except maybe a little from a few years ago when a harlequin set in bright colours seemed to be the hottest ticket in town to judge from the style mags. I daresay FH have sold a lot more in the last ten years than in the previous ten. They're definitely still popular on the secondhand market, especially wood faced ones and they 'work' with practically anything. Maybe some mid-century buffs / snobs over here think that they're not quite exclusive enough given that FH obviously sell a lot to the ... | |||||

| search function (2) Ill give an example to be more clear (real life): As the weather outside is getting a tiny bit more chilly, my bum feels a bit uncomfortable when I am sitting in my DSX chairs. I vaguely remembered that there has been a thread before, discussing this & mentioning an option of using covers for Eames shells. I wanted to refind/ reread this thread. But unfortunately, using Eames as a keyword seems to generate a lot of replies. Alternatively, I tried to combine two keywords (this can easily be done by clicking the search tab on top of the pag ... | |||||

For a few centuries now, designers and the rest of us have ridden a rising tide of liberal democracy that brought generally increasing protection of the private interests of the designer and manufacturer, at times even favoring the designer. This could happen, because the manufactu ... | |||||

| I love Spanky's Doug Christie in the back seat with the dog! Perhaps Donald should have had the dog do the intro. SDR I think you are right about America's collective soul. At least to some degree, it's true. The dinosaurs have a right to be heard too I guess! Even though the demographics show a diminishing trend, those dinosaurs seem to get a louder voice at election time. Especially with THE DONALD imitating a lighting rod this year. (And of course, any time you tune in to Fox NEWS) It is truly sad what passes for news. Its easier to get mad in a world wit ... | |||||

Even this is not 100% effective; to the extent that the wall plane can be made to vibrate by moving air (sound waves), it acts like a loudspeaker cone, transmittting the movement arriving at one face, onward, causing the second wall to vibrate, and passing the (diminished) sound into the next room. The heavier the materials, the less easily they can be made to vibrate (a speaker cone is made of a paper-like material). The addition of a stiff, heavy material like 3/4" plywood (ok) or MDF (better) to the e ... | |||||

| I suppose the consumer (imagine a world in which people, like other life forms, only "consumed" what they needed to survive -- another discussion?) is ever farther removed from knowing exactly what it is he or she is consuming. Yet people do refer to the "design" of objects they purchase, and by that they mean both the function AND/OR the appearance of their choices -- with the functionality (or lack thereof) discovered only after use. And, since most people seem to believe that the manufacturer is the designer (where functionality is concerned) the actua ... | |||||

So what does it mean when you think it diminishes the aesthetics of the wood chair, but it was the designer's intent and part of the design concept rather than something added after the fact? Just so you know, under the seat cushion is webing attached to a frame to support the seat cushion. There is no wood deck or woven papercord like the Wegner rocker. | |||||

| ... as it oxidizes, so it doesn't follow that sanding through an aged surface would reveal darker fibers below. Also, I don't recommend "wet-sanding" furniture with oil. Though often promoted as a technique to fill and smooth open-grained wood, I've found that the slurry created only muddies the final results and diminishes the reflectivity or "chatoyance" that enlivens the surface and allows the grain to visually "pop". If a satin-smooth surface is what you're after, using a grain-filler followed by film- forming finish would be a better method. I don't like t ... | |||||

I found the wet and dry paper to be easy and if its not working out yeah take it somewhere to get done, its not hard if you can work efficiently and don't stop and start. Getting a mirror finish is a bit of a job though and the law of diminishing returns seems to kick in after awhile, I've got more to do and will probabaly stop at 600 and polish, clear coting see ... | |||||
| I did mask off the 'exposed' areas | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| I did mask off the 'exposed' areas And since the 'virgin' area was really the same size as the light hood of the tank, it was easy to set it up to beam directly down onto the needed section. It's really surprising to me how quickly things began to equalize. I suspect that there will be a law of diminishing return and I'll have to even it up a bit when I go to refinish the top. I'll tint some poly to accomplish that. | |||||

That Fritz Hansen still makes it is fine, but the fact that White Furniture is knocking it off made me realize that I can totally live without it. Quality aside, why would I want to pony up for a couple PK22 chairs by Fritz Hansen when they are selling them for a few hundred bucks at White? Now, if I found an early E. Kold Christiansen chair for cheap, you can bet I'd buy it. But I'm big e ... | |||||
