| Furniture Reproductions | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| I wanted to start a dialogue regarding furniture reproductions because we receive questions about our reproductions all of the time and I know its a hot topic. I understand how confusing it can be when you're searching for designer reproductions. On the one hand, the prices are much better. On the other hand, is the quality the same? This is a conversation everyone has with themselves when choosing between originals and reproductions, whether it is with furniture or art or anything else in between. One thing I like to point out to people is that with furn ... | |||||

| I've been through this exercise... You'll find that a new top from Knoll is almost as much as a new (complete) table... I wound up just buying the complete 48" diam table and while I was at it I threw in a small side table for good measure... The Italian laminate (if you get laminate) is buttery smooth and feels great to the touch... It's unlike anything made in the US... The lead time was about 10 weeks... | |||||
| BMW Prototype or Early Unknown Design? | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | cdsilva | Identification | |
| Hi, I'm thinking of buying this car. It looks a lot like the BMW 5 or 7 series, but I can't quite find another BMW like it online. I think it could be an early unknown design or even a prototype. Should I buy it? | |||||

| ... all the comments, it's clear to me that while you may think you came here for feedback, in reality you were fishing for compliments. People in this forum were kind enough to engage you in dialogue (far more so than the quality of your work warrants) and because they weren't simply kissing your ass, you acted like a brat in return. Normally, if I don't have anything nice to say, I don't say anything at all. But this thread just really pisses me off. | |||||

| ... defines its place. I know that the inherent functionality of my work makes it a hard sell as "art". For me though, the defining element of my work and why I call it art is the process. The process of exploration within my mediums is for me the basis of the work. It is only in the last hundred years that we see the definition of fine art being one that requires some level of social or psychological critique. The classification disputes of the 20th century have eventually led us to adopt conceptual art as the only form of legitimate contemporary art. Prior to ... | |||||

| ... I see is function across the board. It is quite possible to have a functional object also function as an art work, but to me we are so familiar with functional objects that making an art work that comes from functional roots makes one work extra hard to not let formal considerations override what else you may be trying to say. I see your tables this way. They have many good qualities as design objects, but the fact that I can set a lamp or my coffee on them comes across as the single strongest thing. They are tables first, as opposed to something else you w ... | |||||

| ... carefully, if I was a young designer?and not just young by hearth, that is, would be the growing possibilities of low investment and thus low risk production. It is a very promising challenge, open to all of us, to be given the possibility to produce a large number of products with relatively small means, in which subcontractors may or may not participate in the initial investment. I see in these low tooling cost technologies a way of re-establishing the dialogue with a consumer tired of being abused by advertising rather than being listened to. For many, ... | |||||

| Dear bj ...I do not think you can raise a more difficult question in design than this one. Let me start with saying that I sympathize with your observations. Looking at Prouvé I always feel the same way. I also have to admit that I am quite ambivalent about Friso Kramer's and Wim Rietveld's chairs. As a young design student I used to work in the factory that made them (De Cirkel in Zwanenburg,Holland) long weeks of die-cutting and pressing steel is hard work especially in a "Taylorised" working environment where not only speed is important but the method lea ... | |||||

| cont. These are politically driven decisions. The origin of part of this inappropriate behaviour is the inability of the designers to enter a productive dialogue with the users. A dialogue that would result in products that people really want, instead of products that have to be put into an artificial context (that of advertising) to change the user?s expectations rather than the real service the product provides. There are of course zillions of other examples about the tight links between politics and design and although I share your interest in the process ... | |||||

It is very hard work, you might be able to engage (here I am referring to this statement "I decided I needed to engage them and see if I could trigger a dialogue with them about not only what they were designing, but the contexts that they were designing within.") with academics but you cannot engage with designers (the ones I know anyway) using the manner you currently do, I know a little philosophy, am moderately well read for my age but most people are not autodidacts and the manner you use is quite alienating. Most designers recognise ... | |||||
