| your call whitespike: seriously bud, this world is full of people with different types of knowledge....knowledge to design a building properly, knowledge of art, knowledge of mcm stuff, etc. People benefit from what they know. Since you have a vast knowledge of mcm stuff, you should benefit from that, right? I'm sure Joe-Smoe in the nearby rough town, has no interest in selling his two chairs. He doesn't give a cr@p about anything besides wifebeaters and pitbulls on chains. (just an assumption maybe he's a smart, nice guy:) So you should benefit from the cha ... | |||||

| Agree with Olive (as usual) I bought the Mizrahi Giant Poppy duver and shams for the guest room... Great fun at minimal cost... Crate and Barrel Marimekko... Hard to make a mistake with any of the patterns and cost effective too... Or, if you have the dinero, do a custom duvet with any of the Maharam 20th Century fabrics (Panton, Eames, Girard, etc designs)... | |||||

| 1950's aluminium ribbed table edging | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Camper2010 | General discussion | |
| Hi, I don't know if I am asking this in the right place, but having spent several frustrating hours online searching I thought I would give it a try... I am looking to buy some retro 1950's style aluminium table edging for a restoration project. I would prefer the ribbed kind as were fitted to diners, tables, booths etc in the US in the 50's. I need about 3m of it in 30 or 32 mm thickness. Does anyone know where I could buy some of this? I live in rural Scotland so it would need to be an online purchase. Any help much appreciated. | |||||
| Well, yeah. | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| Well, yeah. The gas station -- and other Frey/Chambers designs like City Hall -- certainly have more in common with 50's bowling alleys and diners than with "strict modernist" structures like, say, the Kaufmann House. But that's obvious just from a glance at the photos. Are you asking a deeper question? | |||||

| When no one is using the table, the chairs should be placed on top so the night crew can clean the floor . . .? Just kidding. I'm a practical guy when it comes to design; if only six are eating, the other two chairs should be placed against the wall, so the diners are comfortable and not crowded -- and so it doesn't look like two more were expected but couldn't make it. Utility trumps passive prettiness, every time; if you can make both work, that's successful design. The chromed wire legs look maybe a bit insubstantial compared to the table, so I'd ... | |||||

| So, a consensus is reached. In my mind... The perfect coffee mug... plain white, heavy ceramic models with the slightly concave sides found in diners everywhere. The perfect tea cup for black morning tea with milk. A somewhat scaled down concept of a coffee mug. Preferably with a dark color so as not to show the unsightly tea stains. The ones I use are similar to the red/black set below, only all black...well really a very dark chocolate/grey The perfect cup for green tea or other asian-inspired teas is small, easily grippable from rim to base and enhances t ... | |||||

| ... issue arises when one tries to arrange two, four, six or eight diners among the legs of a single rectangular table. Sometimes one would like to have a sitter centered on the long side of the table (when seating two, or eight), and at other times a pair of chairs needs to be centered there (for four, or six). Thus, what to do with the legs (or leg panels) ? I'm playing with gate legs that can be swung at will to accommodate both conditions. Has anybody explored this problem ? | |||||

| ... in. Also, rent a few movies from the period that will show you some interiors. Remember, though, as azurechicken said there were different levels of color use. The high end colors tended to be more muted and earth-toned where as the diners, drive-ins, etc gave the era it's brighter hues. Lastly, do some forensic science on your abode. Inside cupboards, behind cabinets under window mouldings you will likely find some of the home's original paints and wallpapers. Good luck. | |||||

| Leif, thank you for the info. Do you know if the 12 59V stamp is a production date? Might this have come with a paper label? One other related question to Povl dinesen as a designer/manufacturer. I have two Ib Kofod Larsen dressers that are marked with two ink stamps. One is Povl dinesen Cabinet Maker and the other is Brande Mobelfabrik. Was Povl dinesen the maker and Brande Mobelfabrik the distributor? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and time. | |||||

| @mcgee76: does the cabinet say who sold it? Sometimes those cabinets that did not have matching china cabinets had one supplied by the seller. Yours does not look like a Povl dinesen china cabinet, but that is one example of a company that did this (PD was a retailer and a maker, in fact a former member of the Cabinetmaker's guild who saw the writing on the wall and mostly left the cabinetmaking business in favor of retail). You occasionally see Povl dinesen china cabinets on top of Arne Vodder for Sibast sideboards. I am guessing they displayed the pair ... | |||||

| We have the same bed in a twin size. It is shown in a vintage Povl dinesen catalog here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/impulsenine/16166941747/in/album-721576500... Very frustratingly, the designer is not noted. At first we assumed that meant it was a Povl dinesen design, however in other places in the catalog it notes when that is the case. So we still do not know who designed it. We love our twin size, but really wish it was larger for our guest room... or that we had a pair...do you have any interest in selling yours? Stacey | |||||

My wife suggested that I make it clear that we eat with these items at dinner and the for breakfast and lunch we use Hackman (Iittala) Citterio 98 stainless steel flatware and Iittala Aino Aalto dinerware. On the patio we will sometimes use the Erik Bagger Harmony flatware with an extensive collection of Massimo Vignelli, Max I & II dinnerware for Heller. I just enjoy collecting. I happen to like the Tiffany & Company Padova sterling silver for a more modern look. When the price of silver drops I have my silver dealer looking ... | |||||
