	Big Television Man	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	Big Television Man I am in my mid 50's and i say the same thing all the time. My family was not in to modern back in the 50's We always heard it was the Architects, and Doctors that like that stuff, But it was a kinder,gentler,world ,back then here in American. I can not speak for Europe that was in throes of a rebuilding program after the war, but they were good times and easy times,

	no offense but we aren't all... no offense but we aren't all on high speed connections, unless its a for real vase proposal could you leave a link to your image instead of displaying the whole thing? I like Koens drawing on the right, its very adaptable to rods going down into the holes, which goes right back to the original idea I suppose.

	Into the garage I go then. T... Into the garage I go then. Thanks everyone for your advice! I'll be too ashamed of my own ineptitude to bug you all for a while, no doubt. Someday, perhaps a triumphant return. Oh, but one thing - have you guys seen the art glass of Tom Patti? There's a book out, "Illuminating The Invisible" (Published 2004 by the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, Washington). beautiful work
	photos great	1 Relevance	22 years ago	modernisbetter	General discussion
	photos great i think the use of the low angles and short lens are intentional. the photos look rather sexy. much better than a static front-on shot. probably deliberate. just noticed the archive. pretty good selection of items from this guy.noticed a few images from wright20 auction. all in canada eh? this guy must get around. i can't see one thing i don't like.
	vintage car restorers	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	vintage car restorers are always a good source for this type of thing. I've just received a catalogue from a company not far from me in deepest Linconshire in the uk. They have a range of products for the care and restoration of vinyl. They are www.woollies-trim.co.uk and apparently ship worldwide tho I've yet to use them. http://woollies-trim.co.uk

	A thoroughly unpopular opinion	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	I bought an IKEA Klippan sofa yesterday as part of my efffort to get my home ready to sell. I'm following the home staging bible that reads...'thou shall not have a room with an undefined purpose'. So I needed a small sofa, bought on the cheap that I will likely sell off once the home is sold. I have to say that although the Klippan is indeed fabricated with particle board, and various other less than quality components, that it's really not such a bad piece. Heck, it only cost me $279USD including the slip cover, I'm sane enough to know I'm not getting Knoll for that kind of money. But the thing came with a description of the sustainable/recycled components in it's construction, which I found quite satisfying. It flat packs into this amazingly small footprint that I could fit into my VW Passat, and it went together in 7 minutes without tools. Best of all it's actually quite comfortable. I know this sofa has been in their line for years, but I'd never before considered buying it. I like IKEA for simple things, like candle holders, drinking glasses, bed sheets, etc. I do have a pair of chairs I got from them years back that have held up so well that I reupholstered them, so I thought, what the hey, I'll get the Klippan. I'm truly surprised that I actually like it as much as I do. It's pretty amazing that a sofa pops out of that little package... like those squished up kitchen sponges. I know many of you villify IKEA as bad design for the unwashed masses, but if you ever bought a Klippan, you might actually be impressed by the cleverness, not the quality, I'm not arguing that point at all, of the thing. For what it is, a cheap sofa, it's a rather exceptional example of the type!

	I've no idea how much the... I've no idea how much the Artifort sofa is, I like it but I thought it might be a bit plain for Barry. The one thing I don't like about it is the central leg, I've got a similar 8 footer Hans Olsen sofa that is really strong with no central leg.

	So true Everything Annette said is true.Another negative thing about Dyson is the cleaning of the filter(very messy).Before i decided to buy a Miele i went to different forums and people's experiences with Dyson were 80% negative.

	looks like a vaguely similar... looks like a vaguely similar copy (and that's being generous) of the real thing. though, to throw in my 2 cents, even the real version of this is pretty average; among the least impressive of her oeuvre.

	I guess... Leonard Sillman knew what the difference was between creating value and trading value. What makes the whole "trading" thing so boring is that from a service to the economy it has evolved into an economy of it's own, never creating anything....

	I have ten upholstered... I have ten upholstered Moller chairs that I want to convert to cord, and I think the main thing that is making me procrastinate is all the staples that have to be pulled. Hopefully spanky has a perfect tool to suggest, but I think it is going to be a matter of using an awl or sharpened screwdriver tip, etc. to pry up the staples, one by one. I agree that the staples have to go though.
	SDR	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	SDR Yes, please do report stuff like this to Ebay when you see it, and let the seller know that you know what he's up to (calmly, with facts---no value judgments are necessary). Ebay does let a lot of thing slide but they do take action now and then. I've been buying and selling on Ebay since 1998 and I'm quite that it would be a far worse place if they didn't allow members to report shady dealings.

	Try as I might	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Try as I might I can't imagine the two chairs in one room.. I love them both, own neither..but given the choice would go for the Wegner. Maybe its a global thing? Some design doesn't travel well in my opinion. I look at some American design, and find it really alien.. It just me, or do you guys in the US find some European 20C design hard to fathom ?
