	The only thing I'd like to see	2 Relevance	16 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	The only thing I'd like to see is: posted by barrympls Minnesota USA State, and Country would be so helpful when people are posting about their own personal experiences.....or if they have a question about an issue that's country-specific. How about it,Patrick and Alix?

	Same thing in Thailand...	2 Relevance	14 years ago	virtueaudio	General discussion
	Same thing in Thailand... I've come across many pieces marked with a Scandinavian Design Guild(?? something or other)tag alongside a "Made in Thailand" sticker. Seemed like mostly from the late 60's and 70's with decent quality.
	The most interesting thing	2 Relevance	9 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	The most interesting thing about this case of conflated identity is how perfectly complementary the two companies were. They each completed the other, albeit falsely. And we all see what we want to see and disregard the rest. Poul Hundevad virtually never used his logo, so Hundevad & Co supplied us with the 'hu' logo. Hundevad & Co virtually never made mention of the town, so Poul Hundevad supplied us with Vamdrup. Hundevad & Co leaves you wondering what the first name is (it was Bent and/or Aage) and Poul supplied us with his first name, which gave rise to the fictitious portmanteau Poul Hundevad & Co. Hundevad & Co employed Carlo Jensen, who is very unknown, or in-housed the designs (Bent Hundevad or Aage Hundevad), so Poul Hundevad supplied us with the suggestion of a known designer, himself. Poul Hundevad mostly made seating of the folding frame sling seat variety, so Hundevad & Co rounded out the product offering for us with a bunch of case pieces. They are like two trick puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly, but don't belong together at all. DrPoulet: well spotted. That advertisement is exactly the thing that caught my eye and started all of this. Had it not been for that one dissonant overlap, I could have gone on conflating the two companies for a long time.
	Well, I think the final thing	2 Relevance	9 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Well, I think the final thing that bears saying is that if I were going to spend money with them for a "proof," based on what they are putting out on this thread, I think it is reasonable to conclude they are selling forged "proofs." Also, conveniently, we are no longer using the name, so it will be hard to connect too many dots.
	Oh, one more thing.	2 Relevance	13 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Oh, one more thing. Jewel cases are 142mm x 125mm. The MMDesign CD Pro sleeves are 160mm x 132mm (larger by only 3/4" x 1/4"), so if you've already invested in special CD-sized shelves or boxes, the sleeves will almost certainly fit. Binders, of course, won't. And Robert1960... If you think this is bad, you should see me buy luggage.
	One thing I recall coming of t...	2 Relevance	15 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	One thing I recall coming of t... One thing I recall coming of teen age in the early 70s was the customizing of muscle cars, from the extremes of very costly flame and candyapple paint jobs done by professionals at the local hotrod shop down to the more hands-on detail done by us in the driveway which was known as pinstriping. Cars as canvas. I also recall in those days some great self-expression on the rubber edges of our tennis shoes (it was mostly Chuck Taylors and Adidas in the early 70s). And I remember feeling pretty edgy in an 'un-detailed' pair of Pumas. This was way before tatoos or piercings, or at least the tatoos that you saw on a guy back from the Navy, not the type of tatoos that you see on your more typical Air Jordan basketball players of today. Architectural relief seems to be most widely a feature of governmental buildings, but I could be wrong. Thankfully, most of the mural stuff in Lincoln, Nebraska is usually going up on old red brick warehouses. I've yet to see any city council sanctioned spray paint on the Sheldon or on I.M. Pei's bank, although the slightly tamer stuff we know as 'signage' has clearly made its way to even the better buildings we have here.

	the funniest thing is... ...they used to sell their non-fire rated furniture to the public at Kempton Market where they would have no come back as they had no ebay records etc of the sale. Where was their moral fibre then?? I smell a whiff of hipocrisy on the retro wind...
	One other thing to consider	2 Relevance	17 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	One other thing to consider I am assuming that you are contemplating the placement of A/V components in the spaces below, if not then read no further. If you are however, there is of course the issue of heat build up in a piece of furniture not specifically designed for audio/visual equipment. I only mention this as it appears that the disappation of heat is something taken quite seriously by stereo equipment manufacturers, evidence the tremendous number of vent holes and perforations in the backs and tops of many A/V components. I faced the same issues (excessive heat and sagging) when I scratch built my television/home theater cabinet. Audio visual people at more then a few electronics stores all told me the same thing; "You don't want a lot of heat to build up in the cabinet." of course they were unable to give a definitive answer as to why, but they all said it would be bad for the long term health of the components and would effect operation. As to the sagging issue I bolted a piece of one inch slotted angle iron onto the underside of my unit along its entire length as close to the center as possible while remaining undetectable when viewed from anywhere in the room. I have experienced no sagging whatsoever and the width of my unit spans 62 inches before reaching the upright supports all the while containing six seperate A/V components.

	Funny thing is?	2 Relevance	12 years ago	straylight	General discussion
	Funny thing is? Of all of the designers it was only Eames who left the landscape strewn with prototypes. The truth of the matter is that Eames prototypes are not all that uncommon, which is not to say that they are easily acquired, at this point they have been snapped up by collectors and are sitting comfortably in their collections. The point is that there are more than a few still extant. Because of this liberal smattering of Eames prototypes a person might hope to uncover yet another, especially with un-reality shows on TV like American Pickers and Antiques Roadshow fueling the fires. This has created a environment where the wildest claims based upon the most flimsy and easily refuted evidence are frequently asserted (if there is even any evidence at all). In the tale told above by clemmywoowoo our earnestly hopeful young collector never once does he/she state that it is such a thing as a prototype only that they were told a story and that in his or her own imperfect understanding of such things it seems similar to just every other named designers work in wrought iron that they have ever read about in this forum or on the web. All lampooning aside clemmywoowoo was asking for an opinion and/or help determining whether this facetious tale was true and I am sure that given the evidence presented we have now firmly extinguished the passionately hopeful flames burning in clemmywoowoo's heart.
