	I just picked	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	I just picked I just picked up one of these from a local thrift store ($14.00) not a bad score but mine has the foil sticker on the inside. one thing i noticed is you said yours has an oak backrest? the one i got has a teak backrest and the rest of the chair is oak, now that i think of it I have only seen the oak and teak combo on this chair. did they make a variant that was all oak during the early years of production? s.c.
	Best bet is vinyl	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	Best bet is vinyl I have seen a LOT of these over the years and most of them were vinyl. That is not necessarily a bad thing. I've known folks who sought these out because they were vegan and did not want a leather chair. If you want to be sure, all you need do is unscrew one of the back cushions from the wood support and try to get a look at the back of the material. Some vinyl is quite deceiving when you touch it (which is the idea) and some cheap leathers can feel more like vinyl than leather.
	luciferSum, the photo??	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	luciferSum, the photo?? Now Im dying to see the photo of the Kelly wall sculptures LuciferSum. I think the thing went haywire and the link didn't work or something. Kelly is sometimes hard to get, I agree. Good of you to hang in and try to figure em out though. Sounds kind of like the extra half hour didn't help any though huh?

	. I love it! Usually smart, detailed and nice! The aluminum looks anodized. Is it? I also like the wood-ended of the aluminum. But other thing to remark form your work, -as always- is that you always use the resources you have near you, and then make such a smart and handsome objects/furniture. (don,t need to import a special wood from ,,veryfarland,, to make it cool).
	Hi Robin, I agree with you...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	guyinSF	General discussion
	Hi Robin, I agree with you... Hi Robin, I agree with you on the fix cushions, I didn't like that. The only issue I have with the base is that it looks dull and cheap and they don't have a chrome option. The overall look is clean with mid century lines but I don't know what the quality is really like but I'm wondering if the "made in Canada" is a good thing? It's got to be as good as anything from China right? Anyone here familiiar with their quality?
	Beautiful work Heath	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	Beautiful work Heath Hmmmm I suppose that there might have to be a distinction made between "authenticity" in the broadest big-picture sense, and the authenticity that is more involved with integrity of all kinds in the moment to moment process. A lovingly and sweating-ly made piece is a cool thing, but are you looking to the original design to decide on specific angles, curves, proportional relationships, materials, and finishes? Or were those choices made in an honest attempt to take the design a significant step or two further? In art, it is not always clear, and there is often a grey area. At what point does it become a loving homage and at what point does it become an original piece? From the inside out or from the outside in? One test might be: While standing in front of an interesting and well made design, and even while you are enjoying looking at it, you find yourself thinking more about the "original" version. Eventually, that can slow down or detract from your engagement with the piece that you are looking at. Just to be clear though, there are lots of original works that do appropriate from other works with no apologies, so that whole thing I just described works a little differently in those cases. And there is often a subtle difference between referencing and copying. And Im sure there are plenty of new designs that simply "recall" earlier designs. Most of my understanding of this stuff comes from art. But as Lief pointed out, it probably works a little bit differently in furniture design than it does in painting. Heath, I get the feeling that for you, there is a whole universe of choices that can be made WITHIN the basic form. Or see that just as a starting point and who knows where it goes from there? I very much respect all of the opinions here, and I appreciate the chance to indulge in a philosophical argument or two! It's fun to see if what I have learned in my own field (painting/drawing) translates when applied to design. Thanks for the post.
	aw just missed, i'm sorry kebab	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	aw just missed, i'm sorry kebab Maybe 1700 is a little closer to "great" than "good"? Perhaps kin1117 can elaborate a little more on the nuances of the range. He/she seems to know... next time you'll jump fast a great price never does last knowledge in the womb next one coming by in an hour - on the fly. less soiled maybe? one thing kebab is- is patient. variables all sorted and diced what might house kebab want next? when his chair provides no more text? a lamp?
	I see	1 Relevance	14 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	I see chest of draws pop up with confusing frequency. I have probably seen it a dozen times on craigslist postings in the last couple of years. Many variations of credenza also. But the whole rod iron/ wrought iron thing just kills me. Every time some one is selling anything with black finished steel parts (Mccobb and Umanoff stuff etc) it is always referred t as iron even though it is steel. It is essentially universal.
	Real is what you make of it, I guess.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Real is what you make of it, I guess. Read the last paragraph of the attached link. Knoll owns the name rights. Name rights and patent rights on the actual design are not the same thing in my viewpoint. And owning a name does not give license to unmitigated greed. But I concede, no one here agrees, so I'll give up trying to explain my opinion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassily_Chair
	Thank you all again for your	1 Relevance	10 years ago	MCMDanishZ	Repair
	Thank you all again for your input. I completed my first chair and am very happy with the result. The process was time-consuming, but actually somewhat therapeutic in the regard that once you get into a rhythm, it's rather nice to focus on one particular thing as opposed to the myriad distractions of modern life. I am almost done refinishing the wood on the next one and will then drill and set the nails and weave it. After these two are done, I have four sides that were originally woven, so they should take a bit less time to do as the nails are already in place. Sincerely, John
	Can anybody ID these lamps?	1 Relevance	10 years ago	tck	Identification
	There is a pair of these down at one of my local thrift spots. I checked them out and there is no markings what so ever. After researching, the only thing I came up with was a pair on 1st dibs for $2800. Trying to figure out what they really are.. anybody know?

	Google "SketchUp"	1 Relevance	20 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Has anyone tried this drawing program yet ? It's a free download in its basic version. I'm wondering if it differs in its approach from any other CADware. While it can be used to make measured 2D and 3D (so-called) sketches, it isn't intended to generate working drawings. I'm at the beginning of its learning curve; I wonder if it's time to look at the pro version, or to invest in another program that might take me further. So far it is the first thing I've encountered that has made me even a little bit enthusiastic about an alternative to my beloved pencil. . .
	When I moved for grad school	1 Relevance	11 years ago	DallasGraduate	General discussion
	When I moved for grad school the university did not throw in moving costs. My internships did not cover moving costs. The GI bill was awesome but being debt free took sacrifice. I am perfectly content to sit in an air conditioned room and eat on my second hand ikea table. My first world problem is that it's laminate and not marble. Some of us are constrained by a pesky thing called a budget.
	Slow your roll, EH...	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Slow your roll, EH... Short of him smashing the thing, I approve of nothing. Also why is there a HM emblem on the decal? And SDR, I fail to see the relevance of intent in this. It's a moot point really as what the knockoff jockey is thinking at the time of knocking off doesn't stop it being a knockoff. But if you have a clever hand with proper schooling there's absolutely no point in fabricating a replica. Observation and disassembly should be education enough.
