	and almost all	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	and almost all and almost all the knockoffs have a tilt mechanism underneath - not the fixed tilt of the HM. Sadly this happens a lot - people get a general sense of the Eames lounge and think the Plycraft their grandpa gave them is the same thing 🙁 I was in a Mod shop and overheard the owner politely explaining the difference to a customer who was SO irate at the suggestion that Grandpa would have sullied his name by buying a knock-off. I felt very badly for both parties in the discussion.
	I have another one	1 Relevance	18 years ago	dashes	General discussion
	I have another one It's not so much a WTH is this, but a W(hy)TH design? Is that white thing an ash tray? Is it so that the smoke gets diffused and has to go around the edges before rising? Maybe it makes a neat effect. But I bet the underside of that glass has to be washed really often. Just a really odd design, imho Or, maybe it's a candy dish and you get to laugh at your guests as they bang their hands into the glass reaching for it? http://cgi.ebay.com/Craft-Associates-TONK-Haegar-Coffee-and-lamp-tables_...
	To Whitespike	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	To Whitespike When you put it that way... perhaps, and I'm only talking about MCM here, that the disorder be renamed "PCD" or Possessive Compulsive Disorder: the need to possess various well designed items. True OCD is certainly nothing to trifle about. Perhaps this thing is more compulsion with obssession versus the truly clinical description of OCD. Whatever it is though, we do seem as a group, able to get a lot done, when conditions are kept in "check" and it does lend itself to a rather orderly existence. And I for one can't find fault with trying to find some order and precision in one's life when so much of the world seems to be in complete chaos.
	RE: 1960s Moulded Plywood Lounge Chair	1 Relevance	5 years ago	dreamuk27	Identification
	Hi edmccoll Thanks What i know, is my parents had a pair, purchased from a exclusive furniture retailer in 70's Maskreys in Newport South wales which closed in 2011 i think. I too am trying to track this down. So I too am interested in finding out the maker. Its not been easy. My parents gave their chairs away in 90's I do hope you have more luck than I am having. But if I find out anymore I will post back too. I think looking at images the feet are the key thing no other similar chair have those feet
	latex foam source	1 Relevance	19 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	latex foam source You can buy slab latex foam from foamorder.com and shape them yourself. There was another discussion about this just recently here. I made some from scratch (nothing to copy, just a few photos) using polyurethane foam and I don't recommend it. It doesn't have nearly the resilience of latex and just didn't feel right. I've sat on the real thing since I made the fake ones and there's no comparison.
	leave it alone.	1 Relevance	9 years ago	cdsilva	Repair
	leave it alone. The only thing I might consider is replacing the worst petal (assuming the worst one is the petal next to your foot and that is not a shadow) with a vintage petal from a parts artichoke. However, this option would involve a lot of searching and waiting for that parts artichoke, which may never come, which would end up being the same as my first response.
	Sitting wise the Gould chair...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Killian	General discussion
	Sitting wise the Gould chair... Sitting wise the Gould chair is comfortable but its more whats in your mind, you never fully relax as you think you are going to wreck it....well in my case Im 15 stone so I don't like to sit there for too long......it is however a beautiful chair and certainly a lovely thing to look at.
	i think the vitra hands...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	i think the vitra hands... i think the vitra hands is really a great deal look at some of the other clock stores on the internet and they have some of the ugliest hand sets i have ever seen, do not waste your money buying the 18 dollar second hand from Vitra as you can get them for a 1 dollar at klockit same thing.!!!
	Yes, gorgeous sunset, SDR!	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Spanky	Off topic
	Yes, gorgeous sunset, SDR! Have I mentioned the documentary "Queen of Versailles" on Netflix? I think I have. Another huge, horrifyingly wasteful saga in Florida. But mostly I'm here to post this video of the brilliant John Oliver absolutely SKEWERING Donald Trump over the whole wall thing. He's the best. So sharp, so funny, so dead on. Perfect pacing and timing. He must be on Trump's radar by now. This is 18 minutes long but SO worth the watch.
	Can I play too?	1 Relevance	11 years ago	staceyneil	General discussion
	Can I play too? George Nelson Thin Edge chest. Happy dance! While I generally prefer the softer, gentler lines of Danish furniture, this thing sure is handsome. Really nice proportions, even without the missing legs.
	Whatever you do,	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Whatever you do, don't cave and buy that thing! The quality of the upholstery alone is a good clue to the value. The welt is lumpy and they cheaped out on the cushion and only put welt around the top edge---i have never seen this done before. The Murphy chair at Room & Board is pretty similar but you can find a lot of vintage chairs that are close to this if you are willing to be patient and diligent in your search. You may have to invest in reupholstery, too but the plus side of that is that you'll have exactly the fabric you want in the end. http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=25652&cat...
	.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. Its probably (hopefully) just the one off work of an enthusiastic young person who hasn't learnt restraint yet and a very irritated upholsterer. Its easy to fall in love with attractive lines on the page of a sketchbook but it rarely manifests well until the person responsible has lived a bit or at least sat in and measured at least a few good chairs. Case in point, this thing which I foolishly picked up in a charity shop, seriously wondering if the designers have ever washed dishes.
	Yes, belated Happy Labor day!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	Yes, belated Happy Labor day! Hope you got some sleep OGD. And this OCD thing of yours is kind of scaring me now. OMG. I mean, you know... I have a good bit of that too, so I do know how devastating it can be at times. Now I see why you want to "battle" endlessly into the late hours of the night, and were so disappointed at the end. I know you were okay and made jokes about it but still... Perhaps you should respect OCD as the serious psychological disorder that it is-- and get an evaluation? I got lots of art made by channelling my OCD into a productive area, but you do have to be careful not to rationalize too much, lest it will eat you up (like rust eats metal) Signed, Dr. E Head

	. The pic posted looks very much DIY. One tap with a clumsy foot and the ceramic collection may just topple over. Google 'diy pole shelving'. Lots of ideas and images...and many will link to a blog explaining how they built them if you see something similar to what you want. Ikea hakers has one idea not so bad. (hardware store/big box store fittings could potentially come out looking a bit SteamPunk-ish, or maybe you like that sort of thing) http://www.ikeahackers.net/2010/04/workstation-stolmen-hack.html

	. Mmmmm most creative people at some time abandon or reject their past work, his more ascetic sentiments I find attractive but I think Starck is just so drenched in his public life that he thinks his failings are part of a wider phenomena, pop psycholgy might call it projection? He has to be credited with being the meat on the hook, he attracted a lot of people to design, the thing is the taste of his buyers usually and quickly surpasses his own.
