	Gustavo...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Gustavo... A lucid discussion of the issue. This man knows his stuff and has thought it through. I wish I had found him BEFORE I had felt compelled to think this stuff through, for he and I came to similar conclusions. Alas, he was more eloquent. Note that he says complaint and criticism without proposed solution and action are something to be wary of. I agree. For societies to move forward, peoples must once again decide that things can be done to improve things. They have to throw off the hoary notion that they must design brilliantly within time worn paths. A cheap chair can be made from many things, not just petroleum products. Grocery bags do not have to be made from petroleum. Etc. We do not have to have grandiose justifications like avoiding global climate catastrophe to do the humane thing. We can go back to doing the humane thing, because it is humane. The humane choice: we must once again rejoice in making it in all actions, all professions, all work. We cannot let the propaganda of the power structure comprised of oligarchy and its state and corporate agents, and especially their oily taste makers, tell us that we are loathsome creatures needing to be disciplined and reigned in, so that there is plenty left for the oil-agarchy. We have only to resume the path of humane choice in all the millions of choices that are made each day by professionals and the oligarchy and its state and corporate agents will see the world change before their very eyes. They will have to run to catch up. And they will. Running after society, not leading society is what they do best and with least harm.
	RE: Recently acquired?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Fungus Mungus (USA)	General discussion
	Nice score minimoma! I love the Beomaster line. I was at our local resale store "The Last Chance Merchantile" (a store run by the local waste management facility) about 8 years ago when I spotted a whole Beomaster 8000 system, complete with cassette deck, turntable, receiver, and rosewood cabinet for $150. I called my friend and told him to get his truck over there and buy it before I did and had to face the wrath of wife. It came with non-original Sony speakers which he sold for $200 and then turned around and found the correct Beovox speakers that same afternoon on CL for $100. The SC80 cabinet was missing the original legs so I turned him onto a local shop in San Jose that sells knock off designer furniture and he picked up a black Nelson bench knockoff that fit the thing PERFECTLY. The belts in the turntable and the tape deck had turned to jelly, so he bought replacement belts and refitted them. It works perfectly and is a thing of beauty! fm Attachment: IMG_2026.jpeg
	I need to replace the five star base for my Eames Lounge Chair	1 Relevance	12 years ago	don m	General discussion
	Hi, I need to replace the five star pedastal/base for my Eames Lounge Chair. I need the whole thing - the base and the upper piece that attaches to the chair. So far, I haven't had any luck locating a source. Can anyone help?thanks!

	If you go to Denmark to buy a used original, that is just what the leather will look like. I think you should leave it alone. There were many very nice knockoffs made of the Mogensen furniture in Denmark during the 70's so this might be one of those, if it does not have a Mogensen lable. They look the same but they have less leather on the cushions (fabric on the back, that kind of thing). I think it looks great the way it is.
	drill a hole	1 Relevance	12 years ago	karin koller webb	General discussion
	drill a hole Drilling a hole in the pot is simple enough using a masonry drill bit. The important thing is to go slow (really slow) and you won't crack the pot. You could also just use a liner insert. Would be lovely with a nice Indica in it (I live in Wa. state).....

	There are tons of places... There are tons of places where you can get custom photo printed tiles made. Just carefully photograph the ones you have and get new one's made. It's not the cheapest solution but is probably the easiest and closest to the real thing you're going to find

	HouseKebab, the Knoll sale... HouseKebab, the Knoll sale is going on if you want to join me Thelma and Louise style and order a Womb. Lounge chair is one tough category. It was the last thing I had to get. You don't realize it, but you got bit by the design bug too.
	Where did you find all those Original George Nelson Clocks?	1 Relevance	15 years ago	ABS	General discussion
	Where did you find all those Original George Nelson Clocks? In response to Ken's comment "I have about 55 different vintage Nelson clocks, that are not reproductions, they are the real thing. Sounds like a lot (and it is) but I have a collector friend who has twice the amount that I do." Wow. Where did you find all of those? Are any for sale?

	I may also note that I had... I may also note that I had no idea who Herman Miller or Eames were when I got the chair. I liked the way it looked. It was $25 and I even tried to talk them down, I'm a thrift store kinda girl and that was expensive for me, for a chair. Finding out what I have about it so far has been really neat... it may be the most expensive thing I own! LOL

	Well, This is not America. This is Sweden, and that TV... You could put in red seats and green carpets and charge admission. That thing will eat your room - that's just the way it is. No one is ever going to see your furniture, so you could just as well beg some sturdy wood boxes from the local construction company. Use those as seats. And charge admission. 🙂

	. Sure thing. I'd be happy to meet up with you when you're in the city. Just let me know when you'll be around. You can always find me through this forum. I will surely try to make it next year to Chicago. Would be nice though to meet up with a few more of the guys/girls on the forum. We could make it an interesting trip... Tilanus
	can they be fixed?	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	can they be fixed? Can broken bubble lamps really be fixed? I've never heard of such a thing. I suppose if there's just a slit or crack, one can mend that. But even so, the mending would show, and especially when the lamp is lit. Anyway, I'd be very curious to know how this turns out. Usually, broken lamps are cheap because, well, there's nothing one can do with them ....

	I think Morrison's version... I think Morrison's version looks loke somethng that would be carried at Muji (not a bad thing, mind you). But I don't like this type either, I just got a vacuum type coffee maker and would like an espresso machine to complement. Unfortunately FF! in HK is 2x the US price!

	where to find mcm type exterior mobiles? other ideas to keep birds from flying into glass?	1 Relevance	14 years ago	rockybird	General discussion
	I have an mcm home with lots of glass. The problem is the birds keep flying into the glass. It breaks my heart to see this happen. The house has huge overhangs and lots of places to hang mobiles so I thought this might work. If not, the only other thing I can think of is reflective stickers for the glass.
