	The house is great! I...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	claus (DE)	General discussion
	The house is great! I... The house is great! I haven't heard of the architect James Speyer, but there's some good Craig Ellwood spirit here. The funny thing is that I bought the film today because it was just 5? and when I came home I found this house featured all over the net ? weird coincidence.

	Are the In the center chair, are the two hooks the same width? I had a bunch of stackers that had some variations as well - including one of the very first iterations, which was a fairly amateurish welded contraption. I seem to remember some of them had the same thing as the middle chair - but one of the hooks was wider, allowing the narrower hook on the next chair to slot in.

	I've seen these same chairs... I've seen these same chairs at a thrift store in my area for $3 each. The leather is cheap (if leather at all) and without any stamps or stickers to indicate who made it, it's a crap shoot. $3 is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but the last thing I needed was 4 more chairs sitting in my place collecting dust because I can't unload them. :/ fm

	The Internet is like Ham ... The Internet is like Ham Radios of the 60's We would get so excited when my friends who were big Ham Radio Operators, with the large tower in the back yard would say Kw69555 come in Australia.... and we would think it was coolest thing in the world cause they were at the opposite end of the world for us or oposite end of the world for them, and to think how much we have progressed in 40 years...... we can just say Hell-0 Mates.
	Some Thoughts	1 Relevance	20 years ago	barry	General discussion
	Some Thoughts In response to the comment by glassartist my understanding was that Sullivan was reacting, not to the fact that he was doing houses, but to his genius. A tough thing to deal with and I'm sure Sullivan recognized it in it's early formation. I believe that he (Sullivan) later acknowledged to Wright that he (Wright) had taken the step that he was unable to make.

	Authentic Warren Platner chairs?	1 Relevance	9 years ago	pixcyn	Identification
	So a few years back my huband and I spotted some very Platner look alike chairs in his family's country house. After many years, they are now remodeling and those chairs were going to be sold and we have them now. The thing is, they are in OK condition, but they no longer have any cushions or anything that we can look at to determine if they are authentic or not. Bare with me for a little longer. The story of this chairs is that apparently they were in a house bought by my husband`s grandfather around 1975. There had been 2 previous owners and one of them left the set of 10 chairs, so it would apparently go back almost 5 or 6 years, dating them around 69. The thing that strikes me as off, is that this chairs are white, and apparently from all the people we have asked, they have always been this way. This chairs are in Mexico, not really how to track down a purchase around this area from that far back. Have you guys encountered white Platner chairs before? It seems from the dates and all, I do not believe there could be any made in China replicas or things of the sort. Any help is appreciated!
	Part 3	1 Relevance	20 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Part 3 The only negative was that it was kind of heavy to lift in and out of the trunk, even for a man. But heaviness is actually not such a bad thing in prams. It keeps parents from taking their kids too many places too often that they really ought not take them too. The biggest mistake I made early on was taking my kid everywhere. There's nothing wrong with going less when you have a child. Going less means less stress from new environments. It means less exposure to diseases in shopping centers and mass transit. Going less means you stay more focusd on your child's tiny world and needs and less time focused on your big world and big needs (oh how big our needs grow when suddenly we are dared to relinquish them in the name of sacrifice to a little person). Going less means you are growing up. Its absurd to try to keep living the lifestyle of a childless couple when you have a child. Enjoy (hell, savor) the parenting. Don't try to run from it. I was overwhelmed this past weekend at the San Diego zoo at how many persons were pushing prams with infants in them. What the hell is the point of pushing an infant through a crowded, destination zoo? Its a waste of ticket money. Worse, it is an environment where parents can avoid intimacy with their infant for long periods of time by strapping the poor little devil into a light, highly portable, plastic pram with a bad ride and a too high CG and push them through noisy, stressed out crowds, while exotic, often stinky beasts leer at their infant as a potential meal; that's what it is. Boy, did I feel stupid recalling that I did the same thing a few times.
	I have.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	pee_king	General discussion
	I have. I try buying from businesses ,and different institutions all the time.I've had luck in the past too like one time I went into a courthouse which I was told was full of vintage Herman Miller.I just asked to speak to the property manager ,and ask if they happened to have anything surplus.He was pretty nice about it ,and took me into a store room where I happened to spot 60 arm shells and a Sofa Compact.All I had to do was fill out some paperwork to place a tender to purchase.A few weeks later I got a phone call informing me it was all mine for a whopping $175.The only thing was I had to remove a bunch of crap off the property with it.So generally after that anytime I spot something I just find out who the property manager is ,and inquire sometimes it pays off.Right now I am trying to purchase a Poul Kjaerholm PK 80 out of a crappy apartment complex that I spotted while on a walk. However; sometimes these thing cause more heartbreak ,and disappointment when you can't buy it.As an example I was driving one evening and spotted an amazing light fixture in a very run down building.I turn around to go see what it was up close.It turned out to be the most amazing Arredoluce fixture I've ever seen.So the next day I went back down to the ghetto to see if I could find out who owned the property or managed it.I spoke to the caretaker ,and he thought the owner might sell it to me.I finally got hold of the owner ,and he basically told me to piss off even though he doesn't have a clue what the light is (I even offered him $1200 ,and fixture of his choice) he wouldn't budge.Makes me weep when I happen to drive by that place now.
	Chrome and leather chair ID	1 Relevance	14 years ago	DHutch17	General discussion
	I need some help with any info you all might have on this chair. The chrome and leather stuff is typically not my thing as I'm more into Danish, but I'm digging the base on this chair. Anyone out there with better knowledge? I don't wanna buy anything new/cb2-ish. Thanks!
	When an Eames stool isn't	1 Relevance	21 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	An Eames walnut stool is just the thing I need next to my reading chair (Saarinen Womb). Everything else I've tried is just a cacophany of legs. However, the price of the Eames is just silly. I've looked at some inexpensive versions of a wood block stool at Target, Ikea, West Elm, Chiasso and a few others, but I've not found anything that floats by boats. Anyone know of anything else I should look at?

	Thanks, Keewee and SDR. I'm not so worried about a sale of this thing, because I can't see that it has much monetary value, though I might have an easier time placing it if I pretended that it did (RARE!) and tried to sell it ... I am worried about file-and-forget, or plain old discard. Whatever else I do, I'll get better scans and post here, but I start an MFA program (writing) in January and right now I'm up to my eyeballs in Literature. Time consuming.

	... I would just roll the edges over dowels and pin them, and then attach the dowels to the wall. (Actually, I would have dowel pockets sewn, but if you want to corrupt the original thing as little as possible, pin it.) There are also flat strip mounts for hanging quilts and things that can be found at craft stores I think. My recent offers on such things as this have been refused. Dammit.
	2 Tabletop items	1 Relevance	13 years ago	guyinSF	General discussion
	2 Tabletop items Found 2 small items and have no idea what they're for but good to look at least. The first one looks like it might be a mid century era fruit bowl (?) and the second one is a total mystery to me. It's Italian with a sticker that says "Made in Italy" at the bottom, very Bitossi/Aldo Londi. That thing that sticks up from the bottom should give some of you guys a clue maybe?
