	signed? yeah, right.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	kdc (USA)	General discussion
	signed? yeah, right. it's a curious thing that the "signed" chairs have no visual evidence in the photographs of such signature. perhaps that's part of the mystique of this "rare" auction.

	More on Jason Lees I saw this desk over on some Apartment Therapy thing and everyone was just going ga ga over it, and talking like he's some big deal. I thought the desk was ikea like and very derivative, nice zebrawood though.

	If it really is as easy to... If it really is as easy to make as suspected, (I can't say as I've not seen the actual piece) you can be sure someone will copy it. It won't have the coveted Cappellini tag and perhaps the quality might be a bit under-par, but there will be a segment of the public who will buy it, just as there are some who will pay more for the real thing.
	RE: Mid century armchair ID	1 Relevance	5 years ago	mark737	Identification
	The name appears to be "Vaksvik" The only thing I can find with that name is a wool upholstery fabric made by Norwegian textiles company Innvik. So, most likely your chair is Norwegian.

	You might discover that hand etched number was an American first owner’s social security number. That was a thing back then and I’ve seen a few that looked like they were marked with exactly the same tool as this.
	RE: Kitchen design advice request	1 Relevance	5 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	@kyle-barrett Save your energy Kyle, they don't care for what you have to say. Even our dear friend Andrew is a machine, although sometimes a rather funny one. I only wonder how it is that the bots have a thing for kitchens.
	At some point I may buy this...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	At some point I may buy this... At some point I may buy this place. I would redo some of it. What is your honest thoughts on the tile floor and the type of tile on the counter tops and around the fireplace? The main thing I would change (you cant see it in the photos) is the kitchen cabinets and the flooring in the bedrooms. The kitchen cabinets are sort of your typical apartment medium stained wood and the flooring in the bedrooms is just beige carpet (ugh). I know a good carpenter that prefers modern design. I would probably get plywood (with exposed edging) cabinets with sliding doors a la ESU. The kitchen counter tops are these balck and white speckled ceramic tile. Not bad, but I would like something different. Perhaps woodblock or a simple laminate with a fun (but no overbearing) hue. The floors would be kind of expensive to do. I would either A. Just redo the carpet in the bedrooms with Interface Flor or B. Change it all to bamboo. B is my favorite idea. But of course expensive. The other thing I could do to like the cabinets more is simple paint them glossy black with the rest of the apt. being white, perhaps with an accent wall in an interesting wallpaper or color.
	ID Bertoia Diamond Chair	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Chrisaa	Identification
	Hi addicts, I bought my dream chair last week - a Bertoia Diamond Chair. But the seller didn't have any papers on it, so I just need a confirmation, that its not a fake. Not knowing has been killing me. It has a Knoll 'Made in Italy' sticker on the frame - suppose that a good thing. Edges seem to be sleek and nicely finished. Only thing putting my off is the grinding on the frame (last foto) - I don't know if it is normal or from a previous reperation. Info: paid 475 euro for the chair. I hope you guys can help me out!
	I think there is also...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	I think there is also... I think there is also something about us that... we are probably more aware of our surroundings then others whom do not have the "affliction". The appreciation of good design can translate into lots of other areas. To some people a chair is no more then a place to sit, to a DA it is a piece of art. Form follows function and all that, but beyond that, an appreciation for when something is "just right". When the line, the essence of the thing rings true. Like in art, at least when making it, and perhaps just standing in front of it, one is constantly asking, Does it work? Does this picture have truth in it? By either brush stroke or subject matter, the same can be said of a well crafted chair, or dwelling. Is there the human component? The great thing about good design is that it really knows no geographical boundaries, it just is. It doesn't care whether you are terribly religous or an atheist. Black, white, brown or green. I think from reading a lot of these posts over the years that progressively aware, with human rights for all human beings I think these things go hand in hand with an appreciation of good design, at least that is how it seems "most of the time". With respect to a progressive attitude, I don't think I know any real rabid right wingers that are also DA's, I'm sure there are, I just don't know any. Were not the early roots of MCM a striving for a more utopian society? Good design is a pretty good replacement for a lot of more harmful belief systems. Although that does sound a bit new agey, which is not my intent.
	I'm not a huge fan of viscose	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I'm not a huge fan of viscose in upholstery fabrics because it doesn't wear as well as other fibers. But a 40,000 Martindale rating is not bad. This site explains both the Martindale method of testing as well as the Wyzenbeek: http://www.josephnoble.com/inspiration/textile-abrasion-test-wyzenbeek-v... They say 30,000 is heavy duty. That's still kind of subjective, I think. The fabric on the sofa in the photos looks like it is a finer texture than the Place one, but it would be best to compare swatches first, of course. One thing that could be different is that the Place fabric looks like it has the same wool boucle yarn for both warp and weft. Many (most?) boucles are woven with some kind of plain thread for the warp (the threads that run lengthwise). Cheap ones are woven with plain threads in both directions but with boucle yarn laid in at each pass but not really woven in at all. I can't tell from the photos or the swatch scan how the Italian fabric is woven. It's just another thing to look at. A fabric with soft wool yarn in both directions will feel softer and more luxurious but may need a sprayed backing to be more stable. (it's often an option if you buy a certain amount---might want to check on that. Some already come with the backing.)
	What chair is this?	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	anyone ever seen this strange thing
	Yeah, anybody with a lathe	1 Relevance	10 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Yeah, anybody with a lathe can turn one of those pulls in minutes. Set up would take longer than turning. In fact, while this is quite wrong, one could turn such a small thing with nothing more than a drill press and sandpaper.
