	Sure	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Sure I think this is a great subject to start discussing. Some problems I see arising: a) Big subject - sustainability means SO many things to so many people its hard to get a standardized lexicon down b)political touchiness - red or blue, there seems to be a lot of 'debate' on the subject of climate change. While I've read most of the science briefs and I believe it is real I think the most effective take is that of Sen. John McCain: "If we take action and it turns out to be unfounded the worst we will have done is left a cleaner planet for our kids. If we do nothing, and it turns out to be real, we will have left a catastrophe." (about the ONLY thing I agree with him on) c)big picture issues - there is a lot of knee-jerk reaction to topics, some of which are exactly the wrong kind of actions. A lot of things dealing with climate change and sustainability seem counter-intuitive. However, I think we are (mostly) grown up and civil enough to have a discussion at least about the design and production of sustainable things. Lets get to it! (ps - I'd change the title to something like "Sustainable/green" kind of thing )
	Laminate...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Laminate... I'm having a great time reading all these posts as I'm new to the forum... Just took delivery on a 48" round Knoll Saarinen "tulip" table... The white laminate has a great buttery smooth texture unlike any I've ever seen (and I've been around!).. It's almost like the texture of Corian similar to a baby's butt.. The execution and quality is flawless... Edge detail and reverse bevel is lovely... Price is a bit steep but well woth it... Replaced my Vecta base (Saarinen knock off) with unknown white laminate top with black bullnose edge with the real thing.. Best thing is very few my non-designer friends notice any change... Chairs I have with it are Knoll Bertoia with seatpad only... The visual is great as you can see through the chairs to the table edge detail and base... I have the older Bertoias but the newer brushed "satin" chrome versions would be better.

	They do look like the real thing, and according to the original ad below they came in both fabric and leather (black and cognac). Yours do look reupholstered though. There should originally be a small OPE fabriclabel under the seat.

	I can't say I'm any use off the bat, but the stamp reminds me of the stamps off the back of Aksel Kjersgaard manufactured furniture. Possibly just me seeing connections where there are none, but it's a thing. They're very nice 🙂

	I got curious what the German plug was attached to hiding under the sellers boxes. Good thing it is a Dieter Rams from 1969.

	Was it a week or more ago when Donald said, "If we don't pull this off -- what a giant waste of time and money it will have been . . ." ? The man is his own worst enemy. And in this case, that's a GOOD thing.

	It looks like the teak cap on the top edge of the drawer face is thicker on the Randers. Good thing, too. Mine has several veneer chips on that piece!

	The chairs and sofa had stickers on them but over time they have fallen off and the only thing left is a stain on the wood from the glue of the sticker. So I don't know the manufacturer either............thanks for your help.
