	Zephyr... I have had great	1 Relevance	10 years ago	mgee76	General discussion
	Zephyr... I have had great results with black leather dye for ebonizing. It is an alcohol-based aniline dye, so it doesn't raise the grain. I use the Fiebings brand. I've also done the India Ink thing, and it does work, but I think I was a little heavy-handed with it and it came off more like paint to me.
	Have you been on the drain-o	1 Relevance	12 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	Have you been on the drain-o I mean soft fruity red again? Ive always wanted to try buidling alien planet landscapes as sets and photographing them but the lenses and focal depth thing is very confusing. I keep imagining this table with a lime green lino top.

	Could it possibly be a p-priceless... P-P-Pearsall... P-P-P-PROTOTYPE?!?! Oh, Gawd! I feel like I'm channeling Mark this morning (sans wardrobe). I should be punished. And, spanky, we all know you didn't come by your handle by accident, so go ahead and do your thing. But, please, be gentle. It's early yet.
	yup	1 Relevance	12 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	yup the leather straps are there (just hard to see) and I think if I tighten the whole thing up the top will sit right. The person I bought them from said she had had them since the 1970's (purchased in Chicago). judging by the frame and seat form wood I think they are vintage. Anyone who ends up with these is going to recover them anyway..the oatmeal is pretty meh.
	yes!	1 Relevance	12 years ago	sjaarda	General discussion
	yes! I needed to hear someone else echo the voice in the back of my head---I'm never into the idea of ditching a cover, especially this one, since I haven't come across this turquoise color in person. Stains are one thing, but my main concern is getting the grease/oil smell out. If I can do that then I'm golden.
	++++++	1 Relevance	12 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	++++++ Don't rip off the cover, there are relatively few of those around, which is what makes it cool. I considered this thing, but it was too inconvenient to acquire, and missing a mount. That fabric can be cleaned very aggressively. I would power wash it with lots of soap. You can't make it worse, and I think it could be usable in no time.
	Thanks all.	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	Thanks all. I will put in on a 24 hour notice... before dropping it off on the curb. Please somebody...I'll give anyone a nice bottle of wine, some used false teeth, and possible a couple of old Domus magazines if you could just come and remove the god damn thing. And yes cubby, it's Schultz66. Aunt Mark

	. Interesting to think how that was done on a large scale, a tapered lamination for thicker parts and gentler curves can be done by tapering the laminae in a planer but for this... The only thing I can think of is that when the log was peeled for the plies the knife was angled very slightly along its length, or am ignorant of a better way to do it, SDR?

	. Lunch box, a child psychologist would disagree. It's a bespoke humble thing in my opinion but as tktoo said 'there is art in it', thats an interesting subtelty, why can't it be a prompt for thinking or polite discussion? It reminds me of some arte povera work, superficially anyway.
	More information is required	1 Relevance	16 years ago	niceguy	General discussion
	More information is required we.r.1, The only thing I can tell you at this point is the piece on the left is indeed a coffe pot and the unit on the right is a water pitcher. It is not a coffee pot and tea pot. It would be helpful to identify the metal (aluminum, stainless steel, etc). Are there no marks on the base or anywhere else on these pieces?
	I was	1 Relevance	16 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I was going to suggest that one could begin by searching for any lamps actually made by Charles (and Ray) Eames -- who as far as I know never designed a lamp that was manufactured. Then I realized that, with all the misinformation found on the Web -- with the names of the Eameses (in particular) used with reckless abandon -- it would be next to useless to try to learn such a thing . . .

	You're a prince ! I like this chair -- I wonder if anyone in San Francisco shows it. It occurs to me that the main thing stabilizing the rear legs is the triangulation, seen in side elevation, of the back, arm, and leg -- with the thin plywood well supported at each end but (I'm imagining) slightly flexible ?
	Riki	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Riki The squirrel sits on a shelf in front of books, lower than eye level so I go for months without looking at him (it's a him, I know this---lady squirrels wouldn't wear a hat like that). The tree was just a holiday thing. I'd take a photo but that part of the room is dark and nothing every comes out very well.
	Mine was made	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	Mine was made in 2001. It is very comfortable and doesn't creak or anything. My husband who is 6'1" and weighs 200 lbs. falls asleep in it practically every night. It feels as solid as can be. I actually encourage him to sit/lay/use it because I want the leather to age as it still looks brand new. Put me down as one vote for "Yes, buy the durned thing".
	It's fun to dump on those rather silly tops.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	It's fun to dump on those rather silly tops. I do the same thing with the Vitra miniatures too. What would be exciting for Herman Miller is to bring back a long-lost discontinued design that people might get excited with....not just a trio of little dust collectors.
