| Sorry to disagree Betty | 2 Relevance | 23 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Sorry to disagree Betty Unless we disagree on the term beauty, how can a functional object be ugly? If it is functional it should comply with it's primary and secondary functions and ALL the "interfaces" to abuse the word, that we as users have with it. Why would a tactile quality be an obvious function and a visual quality an "superficial". I agree with you on the superficiality of add-on aestetics, but as mentioned before the quality of the design is in the complete and seemless integration of all aspects that please the user. Why would a simple hamer be r ... | |||||

| no problem disagreeing with ... no problem disagreeing with me, this was not a civics lesson or popularity contest, Here in the US every one over 45 remembers Nixon, his crappy Viet Nam war, and his lieing sneaky ways. Breshnive Nixon's Russian counterpart (for you young ones) liked big Cadillac elderodo convertibles, I wish i had a picture of that one. | |||||
| Couple disagrees over drapes vs. blinds--what to do? | 2 Relevance | 17 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| I have some friends who moved into a home built at the height of irrational exhuberance in real estate. Its a quarter mile from the beach in Oregon. It is a single-story house that is very spacious, but not a full blown McMansion. Its distinguishing feature is its 15-18 foot flat ceilings (not vaulted or pitched). It was built this way to allow super large windows--wide and tall--to let the sun shine in. In the parts of the house with 18 feet ceilings, they windows rise from about waist height to about three feet from the ceiling. In the 15 feet areas, the w ... | |||||

| the corners of cars dive out of site for different reasons at different times.. It used to be done in pursuit of reduced drag, and then in pursuit of the "streamlined" look. Rears have disappeared out of site in quest of a long hood/short deck look that emphasizes engine prominence for a power look. Recently, the EU required car fronts to be smooth, soft and raked enough to minimize injuries to pedestrians in impacts. The sloping front of a car is supposed to cause the pedestrian to slide up onto the car in impact. A shock absorbing bumper solves most of the ... | |||||

| Sorry to disappoint. It's an... Sorry to disappoint. It's an interesting article, SDR, and now that I have read it twice, it is still an interesting article. As a sociology major, it was driven into me quite some years ago that some things can be analyzed to a point of excruciating conjecture, for minor good purpose, especially where childhood development is concerned, so I admit to a certain prejudice here and lack of appropriate stroller spirit. That said, the potential correlate presented in the link was, at least to me, simply not terribly convincing. Bu ... | |||||

| " I'm disappointed in the... " I'm disappointed in the lack of true consideration made. I know that most of us wouldn't put something in our homes that we don't like but I argue that the refinement in which we choose furniture is probably very sharp whereas I generally don't see that in artwork chosen." While there has been a variety of artwork shown by forum members, I still think that there has been a great deal of thought behind the choices. I certainly don't think that people are going out and buying a painting just because it matches their sofa. If peop ... | |||||

| I am as disappointed as... you are SDR. It is a general problem in design teaching that academic freedom is used to allow for sub-standard teaching, and although design history is often neglected, the reputation of some historical figures is often taken out of context and some of their "research" is still considered valid. The Modulor is obviously such a thing. Even as a system of proportions it has shown to be useless, as an indication of seating height,table height or anything close to applied antropometrics, it is simply outdated and is as relevant to ant ... | |||||

| Disappointed that the design society even recognizes him as a designer. I think he is a great sales person but a terrible designer, his form is defined by heating a model in an oven and seeing it melt into an organic shape. And vaula you got your self a KR design. No innovation at all. And he is loud, annoying, obnoxious but a good sales man. Highlights flashy B.S. From his past eg. His education. | |||||
| RE: Really dissatisfied with new Eames Lounge Chair - other owners' experiences appreciated | 2 Relevance | 6 years ago | TheRealJaime | General discussion | |
| After years of drooling on Herman Miller Eames Lounge chairs either at Design Within Reach when I lived in the US (recently moved -back to Europe) or AA Aiport lounges I finally bought a Vitra brand new one and like the original poster I'm utterly disappointed. I only have one complaint but it's a big one: it's so uncomfortable. I believe it's due to the the hard foam filling that basically break the original design line of the "baseball glove fit" (as far as I understand it). Someone else said it best in this thread, you sit higher, upright and the chair p ... | |||||

| Disappointing about the backrest. Even if I can get the wood cleaned up I'm a bit skeptical about the fabric. I'd consider redoiing it, but breaking apart the glued backrest sounds like a scary task. Any idea on how this might be approached? I'd even be nervous letting a reupholstery place attempt it... | |||||

| So, some disappointing news... So, some disappointing news on my end. Seems the Sorensen range analine leather I purchased did not react as expected to the wetting and gluing required on the front of the chair. According to the upholsterer, who has been doing these chairs for 30 years, this is the first time he has seen such a reaction. As you can see there, is significant darkening in the areas that are the most stretched. Good news (if you can call it that) is that the upholsterer has agreed to purchase the Spinneybeck leather of my choice (at his cost) an ... | |||||
