	Eek	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Eek So when I tried to cut the rounded corners on my chair I was using a hand coping saw. it was effective, but there are a couple spots where the saw went the wrong way. The bandsaw was broken and I couldn't find a fine enough blade for the jigsaw. 🙁 Im fine with the nicks as they are. I dont know if I'd add more screws to the back. Thats the one thing that I do disklike about the chair I have. I' love to see it with no screws or bolts.
	If it's fabric from the Maharam	1 Relevance	21 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	If it's fabric from the Maharam Eames, Alexander Girard, Panton, etc textile collection I'd say you're in keeping with the era and collective of designers that worked with/for Herman Miller... That's a great sofa... I would have done the same thing (or maybe leather) if I had your sofa... Those Maharam mid-mod fabrics are all great fun... I remember specifying milstripe on HM AO1 systems flipper cabinets... God! Am I really that old?

	. Prouve in my estimation favors a (plain workman like wood)to put the focus on the wood metal thing,what you are trying to do is match to table and elegant up(rich grain). Prouve was going for a type form basic.Think would an emphatic grain destroy/lessen the strong gestalt Prouves chair has?

	. Use is one thing, abuse is another.I think the point to worry about is the rubber shock mount not holding.I have seen SO many screw thru back repairs etc.I bought two new Miller DCMs in 76 both backs have popped off.I had late 40s era red and black LCMS with black metal legs in the early 90s backs popped,so it seems its just a matter of time...
	Are this swivel chair's arms original?	1 Relevance	15 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	I recently bought this teak-based swivel armchair with a dreadful reupholstery job (ribbed viscose!). The cylindrical arms look a little strange to me. Any idea of whether the shape was altered when this thing was reupholstered, or would these be the original?
	Restoring Fibreglass	1 Relevance	19 years ago	claus (DE)	General discussion
	I have this '62 Eames shell, that served as garden-furniture for over 30 years. It was pretty run-down, but after sanding it looked promising. The thing is that I can't get the "embed dirt" out (looks like fibres turned black). Different cleaners didn't work (cillit-bang, plastic-cleaners, typical household products). Has anyone experiences with that? http://www.flickr.com/photos/17228734@N00/2471951368/
	wow	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	wow Nice job. You work fast. Lunchbox will love that second one. After all, it carries more meaning because of his "input", and both of your being willing to have this conversation. The table is now part of the narrative. My god, its almost ART, now that you put the copyright sign on it. Reminds me, I made a group of drawings once that were intentionally anonymous. Untitled, unsigned and undated. Kind of a reaction to that whole thing when all the artists started putting the copyright on the front of their paintings. But yours is different. I like it.

	You are spot on SDR.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	You are spot on SDR. It's basically a hotel room with a full kitchen/bath/laundry/and me. The sad thing is...it never gets used. My better half doesn't like the decadence of the town. I might visit 2 or 3 times per year, alone. But now that I have a car there (as the grocery/liquor store is a couple of miles away), maybe I'll become a local bar-hag....and visit often. Maybe. They really don't know what to think about me in the bars. I try to behave. I think that it might be my attire?. Why not?? Aunt Mark. ps the restaurants are divine. pss evil in the womb.
	J. J.	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	J. J. I didn't mean to imply that you paid too much in saying that I got mine for so little, just that I am still stunned by my good luck. I think you paid a great price and there is a lot to be said for supporting a thrift shop of that type. (Though I think in these parts, Goodwill might not have put it out on the floor at all---unless maybe someone spotted the mark on it and knew a thing or two).

	SDR	1 Relevance	15 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	SDR Yes, Burdick was in San Francisco (and maybe still is, but he'd be over 70 now, so probably not still working). You're right, of course, about simply ignoring pieces that don't appeal, but this table DOES sorta appeal to me. I just find the big arms and "hands" distracting under a glass top... As though the designer's given me a beautiful picture window through which to view a junkyard. And I'll say unequivocally that the chrome nuts and bolts holding the thing together are a mistake. They destroy the otherworldly look of the rest of the assembly.
	Yeah, that's what I figured	1 Relevance	15 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Yeah, that's what I figured which is why I asked for dimensions. The last thing any furniture maker wants is a chair that requires custom screws, nails, washers, etc. It's extraordinarily rare for a designer to use anything but standard parts that are commonly available from multiple sources, which is why I'm always mystified by the guys who buy Eames-shell screws, etc., on Ebay for 20 to 100 times the retail price that they'd pay at any fastener vendor.
	p.s.	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Elizabeth deL. B.	General discussion
	p.s. To price your Eames sofa, even if you do not sell on eBay, you can go there and search "completed items". If there have been some recent sales (I usually only see the compact for sale), you will get an idea of what the market will bear. My Kovels Guide says $2925 and I find that particular guide to be on the low end with mid-century pricing, probably because they average prices across the country and (not to be elitist) I think the modernist thing is largely confined to urban areas.
	So... my conclusion :	1 Relevance	23 years ago	cedric	General discussion
	So... my conclusion : as I wrote before, (I think you will agree with that Koen) I think that the thing is to find the good balance between aesthetic and functionality while you design an object. And this balance is always different depending on the project. (and on technological and economical data, but it´s another problem...). And I´m sure that nobody really wants to create anonymous products. This anonymity results mostly of a huge success or of a lack of inspiration. (ce serait tellement plus facile en francais...)
	A point to consider	1 Relevance	23 years ago	AC04	General discussion
	A point to consider I bought one of the three tall Castelli units last week in Selfridges London, to use as a bedside. One thing that you should be aware of, I'm assuming that this applies to all units, is that the top is not flat. It sinks towards the middle, so that if something is placed on it that does not have a large surface area then you will have problems with things standing straight. I assume that this is a common problem, but hey they are cheap and have plenty of storage, they also look pretty good too. AC
