	RE: Kipp Stewart Drexel Declaration Dresser	1 Relevance	5 years ago	Jaymac	General discussion
	All the dimensions are wrong on mine, looks like someone may haves taken a liking to the Kipp design!, even the front rail turns down when it reaches the legs, hopefully can find the real thing one day in Aust.
	RE: Wegner Cigar chair fake replica ? Please help !	1 Relevance	4 years ago	tktoo2	Identification
	These have often been misidentified (unintentionally or otherwise) as Grete Jalk for France+Son. lol! There are similarities, but... Perhaps vintage knockoffs? @minimoma Best thing from that archived DA thread: Morrie+Eddie=Moreddi ...Hilarious!
	they will stain	1 Relevance	17 years ago	rockland	General discussion
	they will stain It is a fact. Some call it patina. With pristine surfaces elsewhere that is not such a bad thing? Just the nature of materials. Butcher block, cork floors, vintage furniture. Each and every material has its do and don't. An aggressive house guest took a scrubbie to a new stainless cooktop when a damp cloth would do the job. Another set a hot pot on a leather dining chair. Some should just stay out of the kitchen. I have a forbidden few. I had butcher block and concrete in my last kitchen. I used the book linked below. The concrete was used on a side counter and held up well but did gain a bit of character over the 10 years. Mostly used as a computer desk. It is a lovely material and should be embraced for what it is. Look at the floors at your local big box store or Ikea. Beautiful. Stains and all. funny review on Amazon about the book linked "Drinking too much? A concrete countertop may be the answer! Wine, even in relatively small amounts, left on the countertop will rapidly etch and discolour the surface you laboured so long and hard to produce. The proud owner of a concrete countertop soon learns that a hangover is hardly the only thing that remains after the party ends. You'll reminisce about the good times you've had as you survey the rings and semicircles that each glass or bottle leaves, and the imbiber soon learns to moderate his consumption in the interests of maintaining perpetual vigilance. ...And, the resulting surface is even more prone to damage from citrus than wine, so that fashionable but fey diet with lots of fruit will soon be a thing of the past, replaced by a healthy preference for beefsteak and blood sausage.

	just do it	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	just do it sure education is important but just by going to the best designschool in the world won't make you a good designer. even more; if you leave school you'll see that all you have learned is just a glimp of what you will learn just by doing it. So if you are not limited by finances or time; educate yourself; this meaning; buy some books on design and designhistory, follow some drawing lessons, buy a 3d cad program (and follow some courses by the supplier), then just start designing some stuff, put it on a website and try to find companies that are willing to produce it or produce it yourself in small quantities. examples; toyo ito, ron arad, ... . also have in mind that going to school is one thing more important is what you yourself are getting out of it. eg my ex-school is not loved and surely not highly recommended by some exstudents, personally i found it a wonderfull school with some great passionate teachers (and some not really qualified), although the level of eductaion was not very high and i easily passed all exams with high grades, next to this school i followed other courses and learned on my own. to tell a anecdote; in my last year i was doing my final examproject and each student had a 'promotor'; a teacher who helped you with it; after 3 months he said; do whatever you like i am not able anymore to help you, you know more about i then me. the one thing that i do learned there is if you want to become a designer you must be passionate about it.

	To me they look like the real thing. And yes, people often find them comfortable. But you should try yourself. Ask, if the wishbone is a comfortable chair. Some will say yes, some will say no. It depends.
	That looks good enough for me	1 Relevance	10 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	That looks good enough for me to believe it is IKEA. Some day I'd like to see the vintage IKEA catalogs with this sort of thing in them. I am surprised they are not all out on the internet already.

	Yes, I'm looking for ready... Yes, I'm looking for ready made legs that require as little work as possible to make this thing a lot less ugly.

	You're not going to find any... You're not going to find any classes or seminars. Best thing to do is buy books and visit mid-century shops.

	I have also 4pc set, they... I have also 4pc set, they are also marked, and I also haven't been able to identify them. The only thing that I found remarkable is that I have found them (3+1+1) and (1)in the Netherlands (just like Jochen3000).

	I agree	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	I agree Very nice job SDR. Completely invisible screws have to be the only thing better than perfectly aligned "OCD" screws.
	Thanks for the feedback...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	convrge	General discussion
	Thanks for the feedback... Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess the finish might be the only thing in question. It does look unusually bright for a vintage example.

	I've never thought too much... I've never thought too much of "pickled" finishes. The good thing about them is they're easy to get rid of. Looks like a great piece though. I'd buy it.

	Sorry Jesgord Sorry Jesgord, my camera appears to be the next thing that I need to do. It's completely on the fritz. Maybe I can use a webcam to get some images.
