	. A friends father was in Copenhagen years ago and said that the 'social contract' there was strong so perhaps there is a good honour system, getting glares on public transport for not validating your ticket...that sort of thing. The disc might just indicate the time that you parked there or plan to return, Spanky will know I'm sure, it would be handy for front doors too I suppose, it would let burglars know how much time they've got to get in and out anyway 🙂

	Not so much on a mantel but j... Not so much on a mantel but just a shelf in the kitchen, I collect anything that catches me eye, theres about 4 shelves worth of this sort of stuff up in cupboards, it gets rotated..atomic coffee thing, Stelton, Welch, Lax, nice bits of wood, candlesticks, glass, dried seed pods...something to look at when I'm washing up, its not this gloomy usually, a bulb just blew.

	Oooh, you meant the central heating!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Ron Sim	General discussion
	Oooh, you meant the central heating! The vertical thing is one of three central heaters in the living room/annex. So it cannot be moved. I'm at a birthdayparty now, so I can't change things now. We did already line up the dining table to the window, but my wife didn't like it. What you saw as a barstool is in fact our kids' chair.. 🙂 It's a bloom loft extra high...
	I've got some IKEA from the early '90's	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	I've got some IKEA from the early '90's One of my very fav's is a CD storage cabinet that is only about 8" deep. It's been the absolute perfect solution where it's located and has aged quite gracefully despite being mounted and remounted on the wall every time I paint. I'm actually thinking of leaving it withthe house when we sell it as it's so perfect where it is that it looks like a built-in. Sorry the photo is at such a distance, but it's the black thing on the red chimney tower.
	my mom	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	my mom My mom has a deck made out of some recycled plastic/wood composit thing. I dunno if it is trex exactly. Without entering the green debate I like the material simply as-is, with no pretense of the embossed wood grain. Embracing new materials is something that all designers should do, without the need to gloss it over as something else. However, my knowledge of plastics is somewhat limited - this stuff may very well be as toxic as people have claimed.
	Thank you!	1 Relevance	18 years ago	hollywoodjules	General discussion
	Thank you! Thank you so much for the information. It does look like the bolts go directly into the shell, so taking the fabric off without replacing it doesn't seem to be an option. Upon further inspection, it also appears other holes were drilled in for some reason. I gues I'll have to figure out how to recover it, as the vinyl is pulling away from the base and looks puffy. One more thing...any ways that you know of to get scratches out of the shell? This came from a school, and I can see where students tried to carve into it. It's not bad, but I'd love to get it out.
	Thurrball - We all make...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	RetroSixty	General discussion
	Thurrball - We all make... Thurball - We all make mistakes (especially on ebay!) as it can be tempting to buy something on impulse (I usually do after a couple of beers at some ungodly hour). However, coming from a personal point of view, so please don't take this the wrong way, I would be pretty annoyed if someone bought something from me then changed their mind. I think the best thing to do is go through with the deal and re sell - I'm sure someone will buy it so all will end well! Good luck, house looks nice btw.
	..	1 Relevance	19 years ago	HP	General discussion
	.. Posted this the other day but I do think they're very good cabinets. This is basically the same thing and I still have objections about 2 pack finish or melamine but how about something like this? A kitchen manufacturer could make it quite cheaply or perhaps you could even get it made with veneered ply with a nice solid brass edging? Check out 'eveneer' (sexy site) if you want something really special. I'm glad youre not getting the blu dot http://www.eltongroup.com/eveneer/#

	Newbie Confession... I'm a former lurker, I've crossed over. Danish/Scandinavian is my thing, but a got soft spot for almost anything. I'm a humble design admirer. I don't have a relationship within the design industry in anyway. However, I do have loads of questions and thoughts, but I'll dish em out appropriately. WoofWoof oh..and an avid record collector, scouring the musical landscape for those songs that captivate me
	Here's one from July...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Tulipman	General discussion
	Here's one from July... Here's one from July 11.(Aargh!-this was posted while I was at Brimfield -what a futile search for a deal!)Herman Miller Lounge Chair & Ottoman.-$75.00!!!!The seller explained they paid a ton of money for it in the 70's and there were no pictures,but they said please be able to move it yourself,as "I can't get around anymore".Poor old thing.Could have asked 10 times that amount and it would have been a steal.I emailed today,but I don't expect its still there.
	So right.	1 Relevance	20 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	So right. Yet the reason for the veneration of the "originals" has to be stated: they were groundbreaking designs, and they still look good and work well. It is probably difficult for many to distinguish between evolutionary developments by worthy designers, and second-, third-, and forth-generation knockoffs by imitators. I'm willing to bet that the Eames team moved on with slight regret, knowing that the only way to survive is with "the next thing" (and having many new things to try) yet knowing too that some of their greatest inventions were already behind them ?
	B & O Serene mobil	1 Relevance	20 years ago	James Collins	General discussion
	B & O Serene mobil The "dial" shaped keypad will doom this ridiculous product to niche status. You can't expect generations of people raised on the 3x3 numeric pad to use this. Try text messaging on this thing. You say you don't text message? Well the kids all do and in twenty years they will be buying products and we will be pushing up daisies. Another example of B & O form over function.
	As for	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	As for Ed Kaufmann, Jr, you tell me -- I haven't heard a thing. I'm more interested in his connection to the world of art, design and architecture that began (for him) with FLW. Speaking of whom: The only Taliesin Fellow I've known personally is an aging gay alcoholic (no necessary connection there, please!) who told me Mr Wright was aware of occasional hanky-panky among apprentices, and disapproved but essentially ignored such behavior. Any more gossip? Let's hear it.
	RE: Discoloration	1 Relevance	5 years ago	Raijin	Repair
	Photos need to be under 2MB I believe. It is hard to see from the small photo. If it is veneer and is stained all the way through the only way I know to make it less noticeable to bleach the whole thing and then try to restore the color once everything is more consistent and even then it may show through. Darker stains obviously work better to hide or blend things. If the veneer is nice and thick or if it is solid you can try using a wire brush to dig out some of the staining so the grain shows through better.
