	The "Arne Jacobsen" eliptical table (sic)	1 Relevance	18 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	The "Arne Jacobsen" eliptical table (sic) ...(who's kidding who), it really Eames, is one of those designs that probably can be successfully knockoffed without any reduction in quality. I know that the Eames had a thing for the Japanese concept of low LOW tables, but at 10 1/2" high, this table is really too low to be a proper coffee table, anyhow.
	The flies are great...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	The flies are great... Just what I was looking for. I've got a nice big plastic rat in my Hallowe'en stuff....hhmmmmm, what to do with him? Robin, it's not the eggnog per se it's what you put IN the eggnog! SDR...creche is out, I'm more of a Winter Solstice type. Xmas really isn't my thing. The flies though, I'm really liking the flies...just this side of truly warped!

	Evolution of personal and collective DA styles.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Gustavo	General discussion
	Evolution of personal and collective DA styles. ... . . . ... . . . ... . . . ... . . . ... . . . It's seems I'm not the only one that been evolving a "personal" style! 🙂 SDR, About that 3 spaced points-ellipses styles, I love it!. So much, that if you want to check I added to my own about 2 weeks ago. In part because the aforementioned thing. Thanks! It's also interesting to me to see how it have been evolving the writing style (graphically and written/literature's) on each contributor and the "collective" one. Ohhh, I,m not going to begin a DA Collective Anthropology Writing style now. Thanking each contributor and following each evolution and mutations... But very interesting! Mmm, maybe in the future... Heath: You said "I've grown up with is Afrikaans, which is truly hideous." Really sounds like this?, hideous sounded hideous. :)Intrigued, I searched "Afrikaans", and learned it,s a mix of dutch+English+African, it seems would sound interesting!. Here in Buenos Aires, people say that the Spanish we speak "Español Rioplatense" (from River Plate=Montevideo-Bs.As.) is Spanish with Italian accent (because immigration). I'm afraid will sound more hideous to more than one! 🙂 🙂 And other little thing, You said: "It because most people here are over 30 that concepts are communicated reasonably well", you mean old?, o l d ? oollldddd? and it's true! 🙂 no no please check that, I think now I'll change my vote for a positive emoticons. Mmm Christams tree or Old O L D. 🙂 Mmm, no I'll keep that vote, because I think indeed will look as and "OLD Christmas tree". 🙂 p.s.: I tried Microsoft Word pad, but I prefer directly DA. Now I wrote this with "Google docs", Can be used for sharing and collective writing!! Anybody used before? I'll see when I'll post this what happen!. I tested a bit, it seems it's OK.
	Hans Wegner - CH30 Restoration Thread	1 Relevance	11 years ago	cdsilva	General discussion
	I had posted a recent acquisition of 4 Wegner CH30 chairs in the "Last thing you've acquired" thread a month ago, and finally got around to doing a dedicated thread. Rather than start explaining from the beginning, I'm copying/pasting the relevant posts (with photos) from that thread as the first few ones for this thread, and will then post new info afterwards.
	How to tell an authentic HM Eames lounge chair/ottoman?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	rockybird	General discussion
	Tomorrow, I am going to look at a chair that I am told was bought in 1959 by a family member. It is the plywood/leather chair with the ottoman. It is missing a button, but they tell me in otherwise good condition. The owners think it is a HM but the tag is missing. They said it could also be a replica. Are there any clues for telling the real thing? It is light brown. Thanks!
	Saarinen exec chair advice please?	1 Relevance	19 years ago	mjhaynes21	General discussion
	i found two (what i believe to be saarinen executive chairs) at a local antique shop. they are in what i consider to be very good condition. he is selling the pair for $225. the only thing is there is no knoll label or tag on them. i just can tell by the shape. is there any other tell tale signs that would tell me if they are real knoll chairs or not? would there have been knock offs that look the same that are the same age? please advise thanks matt
	Update:	1 Relevance	10 years ago	cdsilva	General discussion
	Update: The dealer did do the right thing (listing removed), although he probably wishes I never stuck my nose in his business. However, as the chair was on consignment, the news was worse for the consignor than the dealer. Will be interesting to see if this chair pops up on a different sales site in the future. Its fingerprints are very easy to spot.
	Yes, SDR, Google is where I...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	Yes, SDR, Google is where I... Yes, SDR, Google is where I located the image of part of SEA THINGS above, however smogguys tray is not there as readily. It's tough to compare in the small size, but if you look at that particular sea thing there, there is a VERY similar shape within the pink tray's graphics, it looks like it may have been roughly, directly copied by hand, it's the about the same, but different, which is interesting-
	I don't think Quistgaard	1 Relevance	15 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	I don't think Quistgaard would do that to us. Those "dansk" pans above, while similar to my dansk pieces have a couple of differences beyond the floral thing. The real ones I have do not have a screw through the end of the wood handle and the crossed lid handle elements are at right angles. I will shut my eyes and chant "demon knock offs, be gone!"
	Sorry for not responding...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Sound & Design	General discussion
	Sorry for not responding... Sorry for not responding earlier. I planned on doing more research myself and contributing, haven't gotten around to it. Really apprecaite the little bit that you shared. I'm not preoccupied with the downside of Colani's designs, just attempting to reconcile his vision with the realities of physics. I'm more familiar with his industrial designs than furniture. Another thing to tudy up.
	.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	ite (BE)	General discussion
	. I am with SDR on this one. However, I always wanted to ask: What's up with the strange choice of (the very limited) title words ? Case in point: Just type "beautiful" in Ebay (all categories) and see what happens.. (I retrieved 4 500 ! pages full of stuff)-see also "Very", "top" etc. I wonder which customers actually use this keyword to find anything ? Oh, I want a new thing to hang on my wall: let's just type "beautiful art" ?? i don't get it
	I'm glad someone else made the suggestion	1 Relevance	18 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	I'm glad someone else made the suggestion of using a permanent Black Magic Marker, because I'm sure plenty of knowledgable furniture finishers would be horrified, but if it's old and you're refinishing the whole thing,I can't imagine that a bit of magic marker will hurt the piece. I've always lusted after Bertoia benches and I don't know if I've ever seen an ebony one. Lucky you!
	Plycraft chair finally finished	1 Relevance	19 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Plycraft chair finally finished I had ambitions of reupholstery, but ended up refinishing only the plywood and hardware. The chair is much improved now. I plan on selling soon...to finance the real thing 🙂 check web page for detail photos http://www.ewertdesign.com/plycraft/
	Nakashima source	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Monochrome	General discussion
	Nakashima source Forgive my ignorance (or laziness, which amounts to the same thing now that we have Google), but can't one buy Nakashima chairs from Nakashima's workshop in eastern Pennsylvania? Incidentally, there was a nice little Nakashima show in Pittsburgh this fall; see link for images. http://artschool.cfa.cmu.edu/~nakashimarevealed/
