	oh hey yeah	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	oh hey yeah Got so caught up in the paint job that I forgot to look at the "content"! It just looked quaint to me. The patina of it's genre and time spoke loudest, so I just accepted it as some old stucco building kind of thing. I like it better now, knowing that it might be a prison. It has a story now. But I'm sure you have already had thousands of stories for it in just a few hours. (and a few _______) Don't blame Ray.
	The earlier ones	1 Relevance	14 years ago	danielmpoole	General discussion
	The earlier ones had no marks or logos, I think they started stamping the legs in the 90's? The best thing to do is to send photos to Knoll themselves. They're very helpful. Pay attention to the seams, the clips that hold the cushion in place and also the weld joints on the leg frame. It might also be worth looking at old threads on this forum, as I'm sure it's been discussed here in the past.

	As bizarre as the chair is, the craftsmanship involved in the modifications look top-notch. One would have to assume that Hume was commissioned to create the thing as a fund-raiser for the foundation. I can't really imagine it was his idea, but I don't know. They must have put a retail value of close to $10K on it, though, wouldn't you guess? I'd love to hear from Alfie, himself, on this. Has he been banished from the forum?
	.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. Thanks to Whitespike for prompting this. I'd be a bit concerned that breaking it up too much might dilute the forum into something that is a bit arid, personally I'd favour just one separate channel for ID threads and group everything else together. One thing I would like but which is probably too difficult would be the ability to contact other posters privately or off site, perhaps profiles? I would gladly pay an annual fee if there could be a members section.

	really? Perhaps I'm a... really? Perhaps I'm a natural grump, but if that stair piano had been installed in the train station I lived near once the last thing I'd want to hear at the end of the working day are 15 delighted tourists making a cacophony. I'm a rural creature by nature but surely even the the most hardened urbanist would prefer a calmer and quiter city?
	However you like	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	However you like You should approach it however you like. Lots of people like Modernism, but aren't fortunate enough to live in Neutra or Eichler houses. So we make do. The nice thing about a new construction home is that you probably don't have over-the-top moulding, wainscoting, or trim. Keeping things simple and clean should mesh well. And, if you want to have fun with it, mix in some traditional pieces as well.
	Bold?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	claus (DE)	General discussion
	Bold? That's what the Sancchettos are all about: boldness... LuciferSum - Wouldn't it be fun to "create" diFrutta as a designer by purposely putting items on ebay and watch the whol thing grow? Oh, and of cause you would win the auctions if you made an offer that cannot be refused! by the way, a brutalist showering cap - priceless, can you make a sketch?
	Yes --	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Yes -- these definitley deserve the attention of a qualified finsher. As tempting as it is to add something temporarily to "spruce them up," I would avoid that; it would likely interfere with the correct refinishing later. The next best thing to leaving them untouched would be a professional refinish, with the intent to return them to their original appearance. Selecting the right sheen is part of this task.
	RE: ID Tapiovaara style rocking chair	1 Relevance	5 years ago	lexi	Identification
	@tktoo2. You might have to narrow it down for me. Which town /city would be a start. Lots of Pubs have stained glass features . My offspring ( all ladies too) are past the scowling face phase. If memory serves, I was pretty good myself, in the day, with the " why am I here with my parents doing the embarassing tourist thing ? " look of disdain.
	RE: ID Tapiovaara style rocking chair	1 Relevance	5 years ago	tktoo2	Identification
	@lexi, Photos of me at that age are frighteningly similar - the hair, air of general disdain, etc (except I'd have had a cigarette dangling from my lips) so it's not a gender thing. Dublin pub, though not in your neighborhood. Within staggering distance of the Morgan Hotel ...if memory serves. Likely recommended in one of Rick Steves' travel guides.

	I like the furniture because... I like the furniture because I read one thing, about the Eameses, attempting to forget World War II that had just happened. I see that idea in the furniture, stripping away of the past, concentrating on the future, and I like to be reminded of it everyday. It's difficult to tell which knock-off companies, if any, are good.

	Thanks for the info! That... Thanks for the info! That was quick. Its so funny because it was hard to find any info on based on search terms like "movable plastic sculpture".... etc. And it turns out to be such a common thing. (I figured as much when I saw them littered around a hotel lobby...) Still - its lots of fun!

	auto shops that work on cor... auto shops that work on corvetts can fix them another guess at it would be that from the weight of tilting in can make the hole loose and might be chipping away . but like Don said it could be a problem with the mechanism of the tilt, the only thing i can say from past experience Fitz Hansen is unreal expensive with those mechanism so i would take it to local machine shop and they might have to replace it with a o ring or mill something for you that would cost around 75.00 vs a new mechanism from Fitz Hansen for 600.00 another thing that i will tell you is we had a original 1958 marshmellow from Herman miller that a customer wanted restored. It look like the family car had run it over 30 years ago cause both side legs were smashed I called my gal pal at Herman miller and she called back and said no problem we can get you the two side legs. price $1200.00 my cost , just for the two side legs on the marshmellow i was shocked cause my cost for a new one is around 1900.00 and that is for 18 cushion tops and steel saucers, Why that should be so expensive, i have no idea but we sent it out to a local shop that does pipe bend ing and he thinks he can re fabricate one just like the original for 400.00 and it will be black powder coated, so use those shops if you can to go to a original manufacture should be a last resort, but these are not cheap pieces of furniture a new Egg 7000.00 and a new marshmallow around 3000.00

	synergy	1 Relevance	16 years ago	taptaptap	General discussion
	synergy Hi Olive -- what a fantastic house! I'll echo what others have said about not worrying about other peoples' opinions -- it's always best to trust one's own instincts. But I think you've raised a really fascinating question about what "cohesion" is. Hard to define -- but it's a great feeling to come into a room where everything from the carpets to the artwork to the ashtrays seems to fit together and complement each other. You get a kind of synergy, where everything looks better than if it were just on its own. A kind of context, maybe. It's insanely complicated how it works -- color, style, dimension, purpose etc all come into play -- but when everything clicks into place, you feel like you've come into a "room", rather than just a bunch of furniture in a space. More specific to your place -- since you've asked for comments! -- you've got some wonderful pieces and a great, great house. But I think maybe your living space lacks a strong center of gravity -- there's nothing really tying the couch and the chairs together. You might notice a big change by putting a more substantial coffee table in there. Tables are the common ground, the shared space between people sitting in separate chairs, so there's a psychological "cohesion" thing happening there, too. Replacing the cowskin with a bigger rug that extends under the couch and chairs might also help tie everything together. You've got a nig space there, and a rug might help define the living area within that larger space, and warm things up a bit, as others have mentioned. Anyway, have fun with it and trust your own taste -- that's the important thing!
