	Just for future reference, DH...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Just for future reference, DH... If you've got a deal that silly in the works, you might offer them a bit more than the listing price to hold it for you. You could even tell them you'd match or better any offer they receive if they'll contact you prior to selling to anyone else. The important thing in such a situation is getting the stuff. Whether you pay $75 or $250 is really of little consequence, no?
	SDR, yes I think your design is easier	1 Relevance	17 years ago	dorieg	General discussion
	SDR, yes I think your design is easier and sturdier for someone with limited experience to build. I would hate to see the thing collapse. Would you be so kind as to direct me on some sources for the legs? Most of the tapered legs I have seen are not quite right. Now to learn a little more about upholstery. I think I can do this for well less than $1200. And, I have the satisfaction of knowing I did it myself.
	How Much	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	How Much How much did the Eames cabinet go for? I'm intensely curious about this stuff - along with the slightly later case-goods with the bent plywood legs. Seems like a perfect thing for someone to re-release...unless it's Vitra, in which case it will be 10,000 dollars. But seriously. And what exactly does one do with such a rare piece of furniture?
	Not.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Not. They really should have left it as-is, go buy something that is already updated to your taste! The only thing I kind of liked was the wood floor, kind of. I hate watching renovations that involve destroying a perfectly fine, period architecture. I just want to jump into the TV set and yell okay everyone OUT! You over there stop what you're doing. HA-ha.
	FINS	1 Relevance	19 years ago	azurechicken (USA)	General discussion
	FINS are what your talking about Gibbings added them to his basic (classic) armchair in one of his collections...you really dont see fins in traditional furniture types...its really a mid 20th century thing.Tailfins on cars reached is zenith in 59,I think.
	In the Conrad Black case	1 Relevance	19 years ago	koen	General discussion
	In the Conrad Black case the first thing that came to mind was of course Mc Luhan's observation that the "Medium is the message" so if you are on a security camera video it is seen as something illegal. But I think Boorstin was closer by pointing out that the video itself transforms banality it into an event.
	2 days in Amsterdam?..	1 Relevance	20 years ago	vivienne	General discussion
	2 days in Amsterdam?.. The first day you can spend wondering why anyone goes there at all because it is soooo dull. The second day you can pack all your clothes really slowly ready for your return trip. Sorry Amsterdam,maybe you are cool but i cant see it at all!. Go to London.The one thing i agree on is Droog,dont miss it.
	The art world	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	The art world and the collector world always made me REALLY uncomfortable. I dont produce much now. I am just a humble public servant now. LOL I had some early successes, about ten years worth, but the whole thing was just a hell. I dont really like "art world" people either. I have to say... Probably why I no longer participate, save the occasional faculty show, but those don't count. I proved way too socially nervous to go to dinner at some collector's house and BS them all night just to sell a painting. I never could be one of those guys who had all the collector's kids names on a rolodex and would be greeting them off the elevator at the opening. But I would never call the best art purely (or only) "ornamental". Sure it has to look "good" ... but I think a Soutine painting of a hanging bloody carcass of beef is a BEAUTIFUL "paint job" , even if the subject matter might not appeal to some. Or Francis Bacon's "Screaming Pope" downright creepy, but GREAT PAINTING!! Hardly what I would call ornament. Even though his paintings adorn some wonderfully considered spaces Im sure. I think to be art, it cant be ONLY ornament. Those LA light and space guys, in thier best works they make some stuff that stops you in your tracks. But in a good way i mean. I have always believed that people who were good at one thing are good at many things. Sounds like you. So your dilemma is how to get the time to do all of these things I guess?
	Oh, it can be done though a	1 Relevance	8 years ago	tktoo	Repair
	Oh, it can be done though a lot depends on patience and a tolerance for working with nasty chemicals and/or managing a mess. There are a lot of surfaces and nooks there but the piece is not large, so dunking it might be an economical choice. Certainly worth getting a professional opinion, IMO. Why paint such a thing, I wonder? Again left shaking my head. Doing that too often, lately...
	@leif ericson while I do	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	@leif ericson while I do appreciate the attempt I was looking for information of value not of the obvious. I guess I should of added more info myself. The locks are all brass. Also every screw and bolt I can find on the thing are flat head. The top of the desk is solid teak and not veneer. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.
	Juhl Sofa	1 Relevance	14 years ago	scandinavianbeast	General discussion
	Any Scandinavian experts out there with any info on this Juhl sofa? Did they make many under the Vodder name? I have only seen Baker examples... Also, were they offered in leather? This thing is crazy! Not that I can buy this one but hoping for more information.. http://www.wright20.com/auctions/view/OW6T/OW6V/229/lotno_asc/none/PKWL/

	...is it skill or luck that makes winners in those UFO Catcher style games? Usually crane seems to be too weak for heavier prizes. At least it is good thing that they do not make prosthesis arms for humans. http://www.segaarcade.com/merchandise/disney/pooh.aspx
	Anyone recognize this Danish makers mark?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	HowardMoon	General discussion
	I just picked up this Danish Cabinet. Its a lovely looking thing with two serving trays that pull out from undernieth the doors. Fantastic veneer. Does anyone recognize the design and makers mark? Thanks in advance for any input. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33820677@N08/3410849343/
	photomurals and supergraphics	1 Relevance	19 years ago	HP	General discussion
	I'm working on a project for a mural and really like 70's style photomurals (dear/lake/leaves etc) Anyone got any info or good links to this sort of thing? Wallpaper too? I want my lounge room wall to be a huge black and white photo made up of a4 tiles
	Thats what I was thinkin' too	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	Thats what I was thinkin' too, Emcee M... And if a plastic backed chair IS such a horrible thing, why knock it off in the first place? (I know, I know, because its $400.) I used to be able to find those Pollock chairs "all day long" in the thrift shops. I liked them enough. But eventually I would accumulate a ton of 'em and then load them up in the old El Camino, and trade em all to dealers for….. ………. EAMES ARM SHELLS!! (Still would too)
