| Alexander Girard Stationery? Papers? | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | objectworship | General discussion | |
| I found these papers at a yard sale a few years ago, they're 8.25" square. The red design appears to be identical to Girard's pattern "Diagonals" except of course it is horizontal. Anybody have any big ideas about these? I've sure never heard of Girard for Mead. Thanks- | |||||
| Spanky: no idea how I pulled | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Spanky: no idea how I pulled that off. There are maybe 4 strands of the usual front to back figure-eight weaving. But it is packed in there so tight I couldn't put any more if I tried.. I was expecting an inch of so of it. But that is how it turned out. It is a nice effect though, with the diagonals meeting in the middle. | |||||
| As an aside, | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| As an aside, I learned something only a few years ago which can help in freehand perspective construction. Heath's nice graphic provides a handy example; I have added some blue marks to that drawing. When a series of rectangles, disappearing into the distance, are intended to be of uniform size, diagonals drawn through them will appear as parallel lines. The drafter here has almost succeeded, as the blue lines are nearly parallel . . . | |||||
| Nice! | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Nice! As I recall, it was the diagonals that made me want to throw the damn chair out of my 6th floor apartment. You were smart to stop when you did. | |||||
| In the early | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| In the early eighties I worked for a company here that made plastic-laminated and painted Parsons tables; their special detail was to fill the rear of the leg with a diagonal facet rather than to build a full square leg. Those tables were built by mitering five pieces of 3/4" MDF or plywood to each other -- 4 U's and a top panel -- to make a strong construction with secure leg joints (always the challenge in table-making). They made a joint in the laminate, sometimes a diagonal one, at the corner of the leg and apron; I much prefer to use more laminate and c ... | |||||
| Seldom if ever | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Seldom if ever has an architect designed furniture that was so literally a miniature of one of his architectural objects -- the Eames house (Case Study #8) and the Eames storage pieces, with their "off-the-shelf" steel frame members, diagonal rod bracing and polychromed panels, share an unmistakable idenitity. Therefore, in the question of the propriety of reproducing a furniture design or an architectural design, this house could be a uniquely appropriate "Case Study" in the argument FOR the reproduction of architecture. And, as the Eames storage pieces ... | |||||
| Views IMPT | 1 Relevance | 23 years ago | aethellen | General discussion | |
| Views IMPT Don't know if you considered this as you were taking down walls, but as you walk through the space, stop to linger in particular areas, what kinds of views do you have from given points throughout the house? Consider maximizing what you can from diagonal views of the space and views that extend beyond the interior and move to the outside. Can you see from one corner of the house to the opposite? What views of the outdoors do you get while you are inside? Your furniture placement, rugs, window treatments, etc. should take these viewpoints into cons ... | |||||
| RE: Egon Ostergaard desk? Just sold one, and I'm not sure... | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | Nolacurbgirl | Identification | |
| ... the first number on mine is not in alignment with the other numbers. Mine is the cyclinder rolltop with 3 drawers. My legs were square not tapered & the graining on the rolltop was just vertical no diagonal inlays. Have learned a lot & will be more diligent before selling. I loved the desk/burea but didn't really have space or use for the desk portion but am having a little seller's remorse. Gonna try to post pic of desk Monday.

| weave pattern | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| weave pattern Would it help to put a different type of cane pattern in there? I am not fond of the traditional hexagonal weave. There are some other weaves with all perpendicular strands (no diagonals) that look better, in my opinion, for modern furniture. Replacing sheet caning is pretty easy to do if you have the tool that is made for removing the spline from the groove. You should also get a set of wedges for holding the new sheet in the groove. Below is a link to Frank's Supply, a place that sells modern style woven cane. I've ordered from them many ... | |||||

| When I look at the windows in the living room picture... that you posted, I think its very effective to create the diagonals that you mention. They prevent the horizontal repetition of pattern from being tedious and too heavy. | |||||
| Hmm | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Hmm Do you suppose Modernica has an original mold, as they apparently have of the arm shell? The base, slightly reminiscent of the Conoid (?) type of Nakashima, has an interesting strategy to prevent rotation (twisting), via the diagonals at one end. . .an asymmetrical solution, to match the asymmetrical seat shell. Eames had such a unique way of giving what could be quite cool, rational, "dry" forms with just the right amount warmth and wit. . . | |||||
| Aluminum Group EA335 Chair Restoration | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | Tabaplar | Repair | |
| ... to the diagonal bracket on one side of the chair (see photo below). The weld is intact—the crack is in the tube itself and runs along the length of the weld and then turns perpendicular to it. Does anyone know a source for a replacement assembly (I’m in the US)? Given the size of the crack, I have to think it will fail completely at some point. Also, there is substantial wear and deep scratching on the arms. Are these components solid, monolithic cast aluminum, or is it a plating over a core material (presumably both aluminum)? There is a bit of a ‘edge’ at ... | |||||
| Kvadrat Field for a Tecno D70 | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | bj | General discussion | |
| Hello everyone, I'm about to get my tecno D70 reupholstered. I see the obvious choice is the lana diagonale, in bright red but I want something more understated and refined. Like an italian suit 🙂 I came on to the photo which I've attached of a D70, the seller states it's a Kvadrat fabric and I see something on the Tecno site which looks like it, namely 'Field'. From a distance it mixes to a dynamic grey, at close it seems very playful. What do you think of my choice for this specific sofa and have you experience with the Kvadrat field collection? Are there ... | |||||
| Was the sofa with Field | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| ... think a wool would be a way more authentic choice but if these sofas were produced more recently with synthetic fabric, then ok. The Lana diagonale is wool, for what it's worth. I don't know Italian fabric mills at all so I can't suggest an Italian wool, but Kvadrat (a Danish company) makes a few that I'd seriously consider if I were reupholstering this piece. Photo #1 is Hallingdal 126 (166 is the same but with black and white threads). This has a very wooly texture, not what I think of when I picture an Italian suit---and it's rather scratchy if you are ... | |||||
| Thrifty travellers of the world rejoice! | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | peter osullivan | General discussion | |
| Tall, sleepy air travelers, rejoice! The Cozy Suite manages to stretch legroom by two inches while fitting airplane seats into the standard economy class 32" pitch. It does this by offsetting the seats diagonally: they still point forward, but each chair sits behind its neighbor. This staggered arrangement also means that there is space to put in a padded side section to lean against and get some proper mile-high shuteye. What's not to like? More legroom (and at 6'3" I really appreciate every last inch I can get) and a comfy place to park my noggin while fal ... | |||||
