	Yes Heath, he does become	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	Yes Heath, he does become obsessed with his friend's apartment, which is in a better building or location or something like that. The funny thing is, the friend's apartment looks really plain. I guess that is the joke? I always thought the Barcelona was one of those "Icons of the mid century", generally speaking. But I dont really like it that much. The chair just gave me a chance to go all psycho. I almost made a "red meat" joke for Mark. But that would be off topic.
	Granted that the house is	1 Relevance	12 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Granted that the house is further from charming than any other of Lautner's buildings, the article makes it even worse, by presenting a photo that makes the house look like a giant toadstool and claiming that it was intended to look like "a volcano" ! It's clear that the whole thing was a sadness for the architect, and no delight (apparently) to its owner -- or the wife, at any rate . . . John Lautner deserves better.

	OLB, I'd look on you tube at... OLB, I'd look on you tube at videos showing the differences between the fakes and authentic Le Corbusier and Barcelona chairs, etc. I think it would be somewhat the same. Quality of leather, stitching, welding, end caps, chrome versus cheaper base metala. I imagine it would be a hard thing to buy on line well. The difference between good leather and bad can not be felt on line.

	Looks ok to me. Although its ... A set of DKR-2's they look ok to me. Although its missing a screw in the last pic. I would check to make sure it hasnt had any re-welds and that there arent any breaks on the wire struts anywhere. The outside rim should be constructed of two pieces of wire. The other thing to make sure is that the effiel bases are orginal to the chair and are not bent or damaged in anyway, as this can cause the chair to sit unevenely. With regards to labeling its not un-common for them not to have labels on the fabric. Hope this helps.
	Mine	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Mine Mine is the flax on maple, which I thought looked a little bland. When I got it I was going to put on this beautiful nutmeg/caramel color that KNoll offers. Then I put the chair in a different room and wasnt so sure. Now the poor thing is homeless...waiting to see which room I want to put it in permanently. And I was just teasing about the finish. I'm more partial to original patina...but I understand that sometimes the patina needs to go 🙂
	Aquariums	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Gustavo	General discussion
	Aquariums I never paid much attention on aquariums before... But now as a green thing etc etc etc, why not see aesthetics and decorations issues. Interesting thread. It seems Patrick is also searching other issues of this. I begin to understand that artifact... As I understood before that, (now learned also have fish!)is a piece of art, it was in an exhibition... I second Olive, if we may have an explain on that artifact. ps: I bet fishes are in the lower bowl. (or the upper one?)

	last Christmas a guy truc... last Christmas a guy trucked in a chair call the Sheriff by Serigo Rodgrious and wanted it redone in the original leather after looking at the thing and holding my breath, i said ok ... When it was finished it looked great, with a nice beautiful very expensive Edelman leather on it. but it still was one ugly sucker!!!!! (1st dips wanted 6000 for it )
	nelson day bed	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Johnny R.	General discussion
	nelson day bed Hello, Can anyone tell me some things to look for. I think I found an original nelson daybed, but not sure yet. I need help from someone to help me determine this please. I am going back to measure the bed tomorrow. I was able to find demensions of 26 x 33 x 75. That will be the first thing I check. Does any one know where to measure for the 33 an 26 measurments,, obviously the 75" is for the length and I am assuming the 26 is for the height from the floor and the 33 is from there to the top of the cushion? Anyway if anyone knows what to look for in the spring part of the seat and the back support for the bolster please send me a line

	Thank you for helping me to... Thank you for helping me to understand your point of view. Well explained. As for the spelling thing, I was just making fun of myself for misspelling such simple words. Actually, it has more to do with my poor typing skills! The Mondrian spelling is strange. I have looked it up over and over and find it spelled both ways, although I would trust you since it is your mother tounge. I've even found books on him with it spelled wrong.

	IMDB wont let me link to the... IMDB wont let me link to the picture, but below is a link to the webpage. Never seen the chairs before, but Urban Outfitters has a similar thing - even more a cross between Jacobsen and Eames. Unfortunately, not very successfully paired. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1261869056/tt0480249
	Oh right--I've seen the mat	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Oh right--I've seen the mat thing you're talking about. I believe it's coir. http://mallanka.com/en/organic-rubberized-coir-manufacturer/rubberised-c... That popped up first in a search--there are probably other sources too. I know it's not exactly the same texture but it's in the same class. I thought I had photos of the mats I've seen but I I guess I didn't take any. I do have some of a coir mat on some tagged German coil springs in an unmarked chair. The mat was sandwiched between two layers of burlap or other coarse fabric and quilted together.
	If you look at the bids, it's	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	If you look at the bids, it's mostly just two people with rather low feedback running the price up. Often what happens in auctions, both live and online, is that people get carried away and bid more than they plan to. They start to think of it as their item and damned if anyone else is going to get it! I think there are a lot of people too, who don't realize that another one will be along shortly if they don't get this one (usually---or at least sometimes). They make the mistake of thinking it's now or never. It takes a pretty cool head to decide ahead of time what the thing is worth to you and then to stop bidding when you reach that number.
	Who wants to vacum	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	Who wants to vacum but if you have to, get a Roomba. Low pile, tile or hardwood the thing is simply amazing. We have a Miele, I vacuumed a room for approximately 10 minutes then deployed the Roomba. I was astonished at what I missed. We have a JRT who sheds a ton of little white hairs on mostly polished concrete floors. We deploy the Roomba 4 times a week mostly while out, and never see hair as sunlight spills across the floor. Would not hesitate to recommend.
	"Hans" always ends with an S	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	"Hans" always ends with an S sound. I don't think there's a Z sound in Danish...?? And the A is in between a short A and a short E sound in English. Wegner depends a little on where the speaker is from in Denmark, i think...i've heard several different ways to say it. I think there are a bunch of pronunciations on Forvo. They definitely do not do a hard G sound. They do a glottal stop on a lot of sounds, which we don't do in English much, or ever? Another thing to master...
