	.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. I agree with SDR, has anyone looked at their own handwriting lately? I'm sure mine isn't the only illegible scrawl. Too many shortcuts in this world. The simplicity of this forum is good, I'm not dyslexic but when I look on the v-bulletin layout I can't make out a thing, too much going on. I think the forum is going pretty swimmingly, I looked through all the Sarah Palin posts and was suprised how tame things really were, except for the gallic partisan its all been pretty civilised, for a topic that could have got very nasty.
	Eames zenith	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Dr_Pepper105	General discussion
	Eames zenith I picked it up for $80 on Sunday. It was just sitting out in front of the building! It's in decent shape... it was obviously an outside chair because the shiny coat is gone, but it's still very usable with no cracks, etc. The base is rusted, but I think it gives it character. No label, but I wouldn't really expect it to. The funny thing is that I picked up one exactly like this last year at Austin Modern, but it's not in good shape (cracks, chips, etc) but it was only $25. I'm going to try and attach a picture...

	>>Perhaps Atari or Nintendo... >>Perhaps Atari or Nintendo 8-bit. There's something so satisfying about the blockiness of the graphics; something that fancy 3-d games don't have. Yeah. I think it's called "nostalgia". >>Any resources out there? I recall seeing a documentary on the history of videogames, which I believe was "In The Game", originally shown on CNBC. There's also this thing, where they're interviewing Nolan Bushnell among others, but I'm not sure if this the same one: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3637639460474263178&q=history+of...

	I know internet shopping... I know internet shopping makes it easy to pick and pay and deliver. Have you considered a vintage piece? (i just grabbed the first thing i saw that may have a low price) I'm not suggesting the desk i linked, just an example of so many available and may have a bit more value in the long run. -copy and pasted in the web link box below your message area http://cgi.ebay.com/Drexel-Desk-for-Danish-Modern-Wormley-Eames-decor_W0...

	midmod If you would not mind making copies of the ads I would be more than delighted to pay for them when you have a chance. Both Barry and i are starting a data base for every thing that pertains to the Nelson clocks and Howard miller , When we get that compiled we will be that much closer to getting the book underway, I would love to have your entire collection photographed cause from what you say you must have some collection going. I only have 20 original Howard Millers, and I am thinking there must be at least over 125 different styles of clocks from the 50 to the late 70s
	Excuses	1 Relevance	22 years ago	MM	General discussion
	Excuses Actually no, I don't think everyone has the same right to accessing design...do you think that everyone has the right to own their own plane or spaceship? Or that everyone has the right to own a Rolls Royce at the same price as a Toyota? There's this little thing called inflation that contradicts with what has been said. Yes, I do think that I would be a snob if I said that you're worthless unless you buy an original, but I didn't, I, as well as several other people, have given many different options on how to own designer furniture. My point was not that you HAVE to own the original, its that the people ripping these designs off have no right to be claiming the money and hard work that went into the designs in the first place.
	RE: Kai Kristiansen attributions	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	Thanks for asking 😀. Didn‘t really find out anything else yet. I asked about certain pieces but haven‘t got an answer so far. Anyway, the DUX reference is great. I should ask them, last time they were really quick and helpful. The T21 you mention is a strange thing. Dealers attach this model number to two different chairs. One is model 32 by Schou Andersen. This one was designed by Kai Kristiansen without a doubt. The other one is probably the one you mean, but this one is mysterious because no one ever mentions a producer. I don‘t know who designed it, but I‘ll ask directly - if I ever get an answer to my last questions.

	A quick comparison between... A quick comparison between the catalog and your Flickr album and I came up with these items. Some of them may be in your catalog-but some certainly are not. My apologies for the crappy pics. Leif, I'll scan it in the office this week and send you the whole thing via email. Based on these items (Wegner AP-33S etc.), I believe the earliest possible date for this catalog is 1954.

	throw it away? * because I look better with a full beard? * Because the chair has befouled it? * Because I have befouled the chair? * You don't like it's transformers style? It worked like a charm. First chair now looks smashing EDIT - Weird thing about these chairs, I bought them at the same store where I bought a matched pair of Knoll club chairs about a year ago. Hum.

	Where are you in the US, may ... Where are you in the US, may I ask? Do you know if there was ever a Scan store in your area? There was one near me in the Baltimore area and I know they sold Mølller chairs in addition to lots of sorta-generic Scandinavian furniture. I think they were a regional chain in the northeast or mid-atlantic area. The store here closed maybe 5 years ago. I only went in the store a couple of times but black chairs seem like the kind of thing they would have had.

	Knoll Tulip Chairs. Vintage? Age?	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Crazy Joe	General discussion
	I've just acquired 4 Saarinen Tulip chairs from my grandparents. I don't know how old they are. I guess they're 30 years or older, I've known them for as long as I live. The only thing I see, when I turn the chair upside down, is "knoll international" in the plastic rim underneath the chair and a number (151 I think) between the rim and the iron. Can somebody tell me if they're original, and give me an age (approximately of course 😉 ) I'm not planning on selling them, but what would they be worth? (considering that the cushions have been renewed). They're still in good condition, no paint damages or such, just the usual "wear and tear". thanx!
	TMI	1 Relevance	12 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	TMI No -- I don't mean that -- we need all the info here that we can get, either by hook or by crook, as they say. And spanky is a font. He wrote a very useful response on (ahem) a competing rocker thread here a DA . . . The odd-number-of-spaces thing -- an important comfort issue -- has an analog in the architecture realm. No Greek temple would confront a visitor with a central column to negotiate; there is always a central space in well-ordered banks of doors or windows, in work throughout the ages and up til the present day . . .
	Well, ok...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Well, ok... ...I'll keep your challenge in mind when I'm out and about on the internet. But what you said originally was, "Prints always detract from the form they're applied to, they always seem to make it worse, never better." It's the "always" that I take issue with. I don't think it's always. I think sometimes the pattern is the thing and the furniture is the vehicle and together they can make a pleasing whole. BUT this is coming from someone who has a lifelong, serious passion for fabric. In the end, I think it's a matter of personal preference and I agree with you totally that solids look good pretty much on anything. And if it's an interesting texture and/or color, a solid can hold its appeal over time.
	Pegbord	1 Relevance	15 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Pegbord Yes, I immediately reacted to his posting, but it seems so inappropriate to me. Think about it; MOST people have never seen the chair and it's such a radical design for its time, that it might spark some new interest in quality mid-century modern furniture. I think I know what it's worth, but I wanted to get tickets and thought I might as well 'show off' a cool item. Besides, if I get on TV, I intend to quickly explain that I first bought reference books and did some homework before looking for the right lounge chair. This should be helpful to the viewers who like this sort of thing.
