	Nice you have cleared that...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Starline	General discussion
	Nice you have cleared that... Nice you have cleared that up Nilo. I would agree with the monopoly status and licence waving but I am unsure about the alternative.People still have a choice to buy an old design and whether they want to pay top dollar.They can always buy licenced used pieces for half to a 3rd the price. I believe people who are willing to pay for a new licensed product are doing so due to the expectation of following a certain quality and system.Even approval to refining small improvements from the descendants or closest thing to it.Yes I know that can mean cost savings in code. If it was a free for all then things would be worse than they are now.You may have argued the legalities many years ago with the general higher quality copies from Italy if there were such a thing. In recent years with internet and the flooding of the market from Chinese copies I thing I would rather have Knoll flag waving and twisting the truth than see this cheap rubbish being pumped out. Also before the likes of Matt Blatt selling Chinese copies here in a big way we still had other stores selling copies. Not sure today but at least 8 years back King Furniture was selling Barcelona Chair and daybeds and Eames Lounge Chair Copies.The issue is although a genuine Eames Lounge Chair and Stool from Herman Miller was $6500 retail at the time,King was selling them for $5500.I can't remember what they called it or if it had Eames on the label.In the media some people were gutted to find out they paid so much and did not realise it was a copy. I guess my point is that licence or no licence stores will always sell an item for as much as they can get away with.In effect the people were gutted not just because they paid 5500 for a copy but because for a bit more they would have bought the original had they known. My support would be on the company who has or tries to maintain an original design and licence and uses their knowledge and considerable expense to protect that investment. In turn they are protecting their customers who invested their hard earned in what they consider a legitimately produced product. I know all business is about profit to operate but you see what I mean.
	Whoa.... guys, relax.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	Whoa.... guys, relax. The "rape of europa" thread was getting really dark, so I thought it might be time to inject some levity here, like the Marc Newson thread, or the old "murse" thread. Last thing I expected was for someone to call me stupid, and for LRF to add a porn link.

	Grand Rapids	1 Relevance	13 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Grand Rapids is a long way from Copenhagen. Study of the many varieties of this basic form, so popular in the 'fifties and 'sixties, specifically exploration of examples which can be clearly assigned to one side of the Atlantic or the other, will eventually inform the student of the differences between "the real thing" and its offshore cousins . . . Enjoy !
	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. What a grand day! I slept in, went for a walk, found this for a few dollars, bought a bottle of wine, have cooked a fantastic lunch which I'm going to eat while looking through the book and then I will enjoy the schadenfreude of facebook which pretty much means seeing how poorly everyone from my past has aged. I've given upon the whole shelves thing...whoever inherits all this cellulose will either consider themselves lucky or damned.
	Quality	1 Relevance	16 years ago	J.J.	General discussion
	Quality Thanks for pointing that out. You definitely caught that. Funny thing is the unit is actually quite sturdy and feels incredibly well-built. There is that little gap in the back but otherwise the wood is strong. Still curious as to maker. The Bang & Olufsen recommendation does seem to be interesting. A few things I've come across seem to have that feel. I could probably take some better shots than the phone. Hope someone can still help nail down the era and designer. Thanks!

	Well, AzC... ...it's grey now. It was more of a greyish-oatmeal once upon a time. As for sleeping on the latest thing, yes, my cats are like that too...coats, sweater, the clean lundry anythign like that must be guarded for fear of becoming hair-covered. $1200 for a cat tower...not not not not happening! But these are kinda cool once you pull the ugly printed 'decoration' off of them.
	if you search a bit	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	if you search a bit on this forum you'll find that the juicy salif do not need an ad but an instruction manual (how to use) added with testresults that the thing really works... on the other hand the strong point of this device is that people who do not know it, hardly have a clue what its function is! So do not demystify the object but let it be something for the designaddicts. (what els do we have? since now the most common man is sitting in a chinese barcelonachair reproduction...)

	I have a particular... I have a particular affection for Fiesta Ware since my Grandmother has a ton of it. As tacky as that lovely lady is, it's the only thing I could aesthetically appreciate in her house as a kid. It looks even better in numbers like she has. Although I know it's just a dimestore product from the 40s-50s, the personal sentiment and the fact it reflects the time period I enjoy makes it a fun choice for me. Does anyone know if the Russell Wright reissues are still available at Target?
