	Not at all...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Not at all... I have a solid teak dining table and the walnut DCMs blend nicely. However, I think any other wood finish (e.g. birch, ash, or cherry) would probably work as well. I mix wood tones all over with no problems aesthetically. Regarding durability, I think the only major thing to be careful about is putting weight on the back rest (e.g. using it to get up out of the chair).
	I thought I would never own...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	I thought I would never own... I thought I would never own one, but I was determined. I figured I would be at retiring age first, but ended up getting one when I was just 24! The way I did it was a trade. Keep your eyes open for anything of value. I had a great find (an Eames sofa) that wasn't as important to me. I just traded it to someone for a lounge + ottoman. Even if it isn't one item, you can turn several decent finds into one nice thing you wouldn't be able to afford normally. Where there's a will there's a way!
	yes, poor Richard	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Lorri	General discussion
	yes, poor Richard You should see all of the other things that he has said nothing about. I have varied taste, he on the other hand only likes the very ornate type of stuff. Nothing like that will ever be in my house!!! I would feel like I am in a 1920's funeral home!!! So....I am trying to be nice, that dosen't happen often when it comes to my things. Plus we have only been married for 5 years, I woud like the honeymoon to last a little langer. It is the only thing he asked me to get rid of.
	evil !	1 Relevance	19 years ago	claus (DE)	General discussion
	evil ! they've been doing the same thing here in germany for years. now there are laws for urban areas, that force them to integrate their stores into other developments that meat certain design standards. their monkey-architecture is found only in industrial areas. and all the annoyance just for cheap china plastic products and discount food!
	Last time I looked...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Last time I looked... ...it was still on eBay as a 'buy it now'. It's not too exciting. I think the clock face is a wood panel like the rest of it. Well made but understated, to be sure. And the godd*mn thing about who made it is since idiot publishers like Schiffer won't allow a book to be written, who the heck knows when Nelson Associates actually stopped working with Howard Miller?

	I have a account with Herm... I have a account with Herman Miller and looked at the lamp, at first i thought it was cool but even for what i would have to pay for it I did not want it, I did like the style but the mechanism bugged me, tell them you want your money back NOW and no jacking around or your million friends on DA will boycott the HIVE and buy at other places, the only thing with them i think they call HM and order as the orders come in I doubt they stock anything,

	I just did a couple of... I just did a couple of searches and Aalto is attributed in the examples I found, perhaps I was wrong or the copyright issue was cleared up. Korhonnen might have had some input, I suppose like Perriand and Prouve we'll never really know. 'Askman' also do a similar thing, it would be good to see them made in that recycled plastic material used for some park benches.
	Editing...yay!	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Editing...yay! P& A I am happy to be able to edit my spelling errors that will an excellent addition in my view. Photos is also good. One thing I would also like it to be able to refer back to the thread while I compose my postings so I can remember who said what. I'd be happy to post a short bio of myself and I'd enjoy reading more about some of the others here. I am also interested in the clasified ads as I am still considering your idea about blogging.
	Born with an eye	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Born with an eye Well, about the only talent I arrived with is a hyper-active sense of observation. I am a "Where's Waldo" genius. I see all the things most people miss. It's a pattern recognition thing. I see instinctually before I actually observe cognitively. I guess this must translate to design sense some how. Bad color combinations can actually make me nauseous.
	RE: ID Danish Teak Armchair	1 Relevance	6 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	@DrPoulet a complete list of DFC members is a special resource! Wow! Then either Stilén / Aage Petersen did not make the chair or perhaps everything I said is wrong including that it is an Arne Wahl Iversen. One thing I am really not sure about is what sort of entity Stilén was and perhaps it sold pieces custom made by a DFC member, which seems very strange and unlikely....
	Interesting article on "The House of Tomorrow"	1 Relevance	13 years ago	ericM	General discussion
	In a nutshell, "Americans were promised one thing during World War II: life was going to be amazing in the "world of tomorrow." But when the war ended many companies, along with the U.S. government, turned back on that promise as quickly as they could." http://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/how-the-u-s-government-waged-war-against-the-house-of-509785059
	I want Jorn Utzon's house...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Seriously, this one beautifully understated, but just right house. Will he sell it to me and let me truck it to Copenhagen and float it to the West Coast of USA? Jorn, if you read us, how about taking the plans and converting this thing to modular construction and let's build these babies and float them all over the world. The world would be a better place.
	Please display country (optional )	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	Since this had become such a international forum , I would love to ask if you would display what country you are from at the end of your comments. This is strictly optional, but since this had become so World wide I thing everyone who contributes would love to see where there comments are coming and going .... I know I would , I think this would be considered very much like the Ham Radios of the 1950's and 60's 70's before we had the Internet. It just gets more exciting all the time. Tulsa Oklahoma U.S.A.
	I don't think Andreas Tuck	1 Relevance	11 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	I don't think Andreas Tuck was part of the Danish Furniture Control club. Not everyone was. In a way it was a marketing thing. And it was more helpful to lesser known makers because it helped reassured buyers of their quality. There never was much doubt about the quality of Wegner's furniture, and it was already well established as a "brand" before the DFC came about. It is marked?
	It's a good thought, though,	1 Relevance	12 years ago	mgee76	General discussion
	It's a good thought, though, about publishing. I know I would pay good money for a book of projects you all have worked on, with decent pictures and descriptions. Everything I know about this type of thing I have learned through this place, other woodworking forums, and woodworking/finishing books. There is a lot of knowledge in these pages... somebody should be saving it.
