	is this ugly or what	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	Modernica creation designed by Shire who was in the Memphis group with Etore Sotsass Just one butt ugly chair... shame on them for bastardizing this chair and making it really ugly I hear Ray saying to Charles roll over and look at this ugly thing Moderica did to rip the grand kids off of some money.
	Leif, I'll post scans here,	1 Relevance	11 years ago	kate kaplan	General discussion
	Leif, I'll post scans here, though the ones I did on my little scanner aren't good enough quality .. what I mean is, I'll post as soon as I find the time to get decent scans, post, etc ... but I'd like to donate the thing as well. Even my own Los Angeles Public Library is deeply into digitizing .. surely design libraries can follow suit.
	well	1 Relevance	14 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	well I was never able to find any repo's. I figured if there was such a thing I would have been able to find an irate posting, etc. somewhere. Nope. What I do find inconsistent are those glass inserts. All of the versions I have seen have had inserts that look like mine. The iron work, though, looks spot on to me mostly. I think it passes the squinted eye test. There does seem to be some variability on these. I'd keep looking and I'd stay cautiously optimistic.
	big screen	1 Relevance	16 years ago	norm	General discussion
	big screen Watching TV on a small set is one thing...watching movies is quite another. We have the largest set we could afford due to the high percentage of the time that is spent watching movies. We also have a smaller set behind sliding doors on a shelving unit in the living room that is used for news during the morning coffee hour.

	I'm with Ricki on this one... Lose the brass chain, I kind of like the artichoke lamp not to be confused with the other Artichoke lamp (only in name of course) that I love! The other plaid lamp is kitchy, not my thing I'd say it's just old looking. Nothing special. The Acrylic/ glass coffee table would look nice in the right setting. Has a noguchi style to it but not sure who made it. Regards.
	Eames chair help	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LouLou (UK)	General discussion
	Hi there, I have been a fan of the Eames lounge chair for years - it is a fabulous looking thing! - and am coming to the realisation that I will never be able to afford an original. I have trawled the net and found a company called Interior Icons who sell them at what seems like a very reasonable price - their website is www.interioricons.com. They have a testimonials page where there are a lot of nice things said about them - but I was looking for a more impartial review - has anyone here used them before and what was the quality of their furniture like? Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

	. I hope I haven't upset Rockland . . . Not sure what happened Stephen. I was on the MOMA site at one point. Then i went off to find my Eileen Gray book, took my puppy out for a long walk, started reading a NewYorker article... I had tried posting a photo but got the wrong thing and we don't have 'preview' here. Clearly mark had more fun. This was on my desktop this morning...huh? http://chickswithstevebuscemeyes.tumblr.com/
	Just look back to this day	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	Just look back to this day 30 years ago to find out what the next design trend is. Things seem to be simply reinvented or rather reinterpreted in 30 year cycles. Muscle cars of the 70's today the new Dodge Charger, the "Bullitt" mustang, hip hugger jeans. Organic food made it's debut in the 70's which was a resurgence of what was the only thing available in the forties, and is again in a resurgency in the "oughts" (2000's). At least that has been my observation.
	------	1 Relevance	21 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	------ I like what the guerilla girls have to say about the art world (or said, it might be dated now). the art school thing sounds smart. find the artists before they take off and wealthy collector's inflate the value of their paintings or they fall off and become depressed and stop working forced to pick up jobs in construction / pornography - often times both. How long have you been doing the triangles? I was one of the firsts. RAP doesn't seem to be to popular. No Ghostface fans here???

	I'm guessing some kind of Hel... I'm guessing some kind of Hellraiser puzzle box thing and you're in big trouble. Out really is kind of cool.
	You can get high quality...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	You can get high quality... You can get high quality ones at circa50.com. I would buy an "original" but unfortunately for this chair they don't really exist. So, the next best thing is QUALITY!
	I have used shellac, but only	1 Relevance	9 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Repair
	I have used shellac, but only as an initial pass on solid rosewood, because it seals the wood isolating the anti-oxidants in the oil in the rosewood from the oil finish that I will put on top of the shellac, so the oil finish can be guarantee to dry (via oxidation). I suppose you could use a water based gel stain as a first coat. I've never used such a thing. Does it even exist?
	Wrong HM medallions?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	gene	General discussion
	I picked up a nice pair of 50s era Eames LTRs -- black wire with white laminate tops. They came from the estate of the original owner. The funny thing is they both have a "designed by George Nelson" medallion rather than the "designed by Charles Eames" medallion! Has anyone ever seen that before?

	OK, never mind--I am happy to find that the new forum makes it really easy to find other posts by a person, so I found your other thread about this same sofa. (Still, it's best to just add to an existing thread rather than start a whole new one about the same sofa. It's just less confusing and then all the information is in one place.) I still don't have an opinion on whether it's worth redoing, after seeing the whole thing. Sorry!
	looks like...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	looks like... the modernica reproduction is faithful enough... But I don't think its THAT hard to find an authentic vintage one of these, and they are not extremely expensive. At that price, I would hold out for vintage. Perhaps patience will pay off? I am surprised that Modernica has re made them. To me, if you're going to go with something that is so "utilitarian" looking, the only thing that saves it is if it is a vintage example. Copy looks decent enough though, just gets too near the cost of vintage...
