	please tell me that you all liking ikea forniture, are saying that for a snobbish reason (yes, having ikea in the middle of vitra and cappellini pieces is the most snobbish thing i can imagine). But considering ikea pieces beautiful, is like considering mac donald's food good.

	I guess the interesting... I guess the interesting thing to me is this is both from Summit from the same era. ( well the uncovered one is technically 68' and the covered one is 69'. The 69 has the 3rd generation mounts and the 68' has the second generation. The fibers seem much more prominent in the 68' one too, so it is interesting how different they look. Kelly green almost looks like a turquoise.

	Cool design....I never knew... Cool design....I never knew Gerd Lange did this sort of thing. In the past, all I had been aware of were his works in plastic from the 60s and 70s. This is a very interesting and pleasing knockdown design.
	What am I missing?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	What am I missing? Does this device require two hands to operate? If so, don't all the other paper-towel roll holders work just as well as this one if you use two hands to operate THEM? Besides giving you a way to keep the roll dry when both your hands happen to be wet, what does this thing do differently than those others?

	MODERNICA Bucket chairs	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	MODERNICA Bucket chairs Modernica indeed does have a bunrt in emblom that says Modernica L.A . Don't you think for one second that crew would pass up a chance to have there name on a Icon like a Eames Bucket chair. They would do any thing they can to impress you that they are the only ones making those chairs.
	RE: Finn Juhl at Niels Vodder -1956	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	And another thing I just found out by random googeling: Knud must have been another son of Niels Vodder’s. There is an obituary online for Arkitekt Knud Vodder, 1927 - 2009. Niels Vodder was born in 1902.
	All of the above, plus this.	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	All of the above, plus this. I got in on this about 18 years ago, before the big wave hit, and I used to get a lot of good stuff at junk auctions for next to nothing. I quickly amassed more stuff than I or my family needed, so I started selling the excess. My problem was that I felt like I had to own all the beautiful things---if it do-able then I went after it even though I didn't need it. I also liked EVERYTHING at first---American modern, Danish modern, all of it. Then I realized two things: 1. It was enough to just see the thing and enjoy it in that moment without feeling like I had to own it, too. It helps a lot that I have friends with a big MCM shop and I get to visit things there all the time and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of great furniture. I've also gotten to restore a lot of good MCM chairs for people, some of which were/are rare and especially dropdeadgorgeous, which is even more fun. 2. The style I liked best was Danish modern, for various reasons, which made it a lot easier to back off from the great American stuff (though, ok, I do have a little Saarinen tulip table that I love). So I've reached a point where I'm happy with what I have, which are some very nice things, and don't feel like I need anything else. I might switch out something for something else if it's a good deal, but that kind of thing happens less and less often and so far it's been a pretty close contest when it does happen. I do still buy the little stuff, though---painting and drawings, pottery, textiles, art glass, teak objects---stuff like that. I think those things are what make a home your own in the end, I remember back when I used to look at endless photos of MCM interiors and reaching a point where it seemed like many of the owners simply had a checklist of iconic pieces that they had acquired. The places all looked the same. Then there are homes with iconic furniture (or just good but lesser-known designs) but are very personalized with art and stuff---those are the really interesting ones, the kind I want to look at and visit and live in.

	Question:	1 Relevance	19 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Question: Do candle making and burning candles produce emissions that contribute to global warming? One candle seems a small thing. But there must be millions or hundreds of millions of candles being burned each day. What does a candle emit?
	Ha !	1 Relevance	11 years ago	SDR	Off topic
	Ha ! Someone pointed out recently that Bill Clinton "broke the rule" by choosing another white Southern male for his running mate. (My impression, immediately and thereafter, was that the candidates should have been reversed, with Gore the president. But that's just me.) If I could do one thing for Hillary, I'd give her a lifetime prescription for throat pastilles. Croaking isn't the loveliest voice quality -- though she only does it when shouting, and exhausted. Go, girl.
	Dear DesignAddict,	1 Relevance	12 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	Dear DesignAddict, Ah ha. I do tend to write on a shared computer at "work", and when interrupted, I copy the text in order to save it to continue writing later. I will refrain from doing this now that I know it makes the bugs get all crawly. Thank you for your courteous explanation. This is my first time encountering such a thing. I am glad there is no nefarious conspiracy to remove my apostrophes! (wipes brow) Love, objectworship
	I'd almost bet that the shock mounts are interchangeable.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	I'd almost bet that the shock mounts are interchangeable. Almost... because I don't know for sure. Screw threads could be metric as opposed to English as on Herman Miller editions and spacing may differ. It's probably best to ask an expert like Alfie at Hume Modern in LA or another that specializes in these repairs. One thing I would recommend that you do immediately is to disassemble the other arm assembly and remove the back from the chair. It's not stable with only one side attached and is at risk of more serious damage.
