	Think...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Think... I was going to tell Olive that there was not such a thing as "flexible ceramics" but just to be sure I Googled it and...Ta Taaa! "....Using nanoscale chemistry, researchers at Cornell University have developed a new class of hybrid materials that they describe as flexible ceramics. The new materials appear to have wide applications, from microelectronics and flowervases to separating macromolecules, such as proteins...." The full story on the following link http://unisci.com/stories/20021/0321026.htm
	Pardon my ignorance...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Pardon my ignorance... but can someone give me a clear example of what to type to post a picture? I am computer usage functional but not terribly savvy on 'code-y' things. Just type me out what to put in the screen and what on the screen should be removed to change it from a text example to the real thing. Also I agree with everyone above pleaseohpleaseohplease do not have avatars, dorky emoticons or fancy blinking, colored text. I will have a an allergic response and need to be medicated!
	Close, but...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Qbird	General discussion
	Close, but... No cigar yet! The Towle pattern has a flattened handle at the mid-point where one would hold the cutlery. My stainless (if you could see it in cross-section) is perfectly round with no flattening at any point along the handle. Very sculptural...It's actually slightly awkward to hold because of this! I have looked at replacements.com, usually the first place I look, but haven't seen the exact thing yet. I surely appreciate your efforts though. Thanks, Qbird http://members.shaw.ca/cndavies/
	Personally,	1 Relevance	23 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Personally, I really like the womb chair. I find it quite comfortable esp with the ottoman. And I also agree that chairs are a very personal thing. What works for one person may not work for another. Has anyone ever tried to solve the puzzle of how to pick the right chair for themselves, design-wise? I mean as opposed to going and sitting in it, have any of you figured out how to select a chair for your selves by looking at the specs and understainding how that realtes to your level of comfort with it? I'd love to understand that concept so I could buy a chair online and not have to go find it to sit in first.

	There are TONS of midcentury... There are TONS of midcentury style audio racks and cabinets. In the late 50's to mid 60's audio was king. It was the new thing, and everyone had a system. Most all of it is midcentury modern. Just browse CL for one. I am an audio nut, so my system is housed in an open teak media center from the 60's.
	a minor point	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	a minor point "Flat screen" refers to the surface of the screen, not the whole thing. We just got rid of a flat screen tube tv--nice flat front but big honking overall dimension front-to-back. The slim TVs are either LCD or plasma. LCD is not as expensive as plasma, I believe. /nitpicking

	Identify this coffee service?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	deedee9:14	General discussion
	Just picked this up and the only thing I know about it is that it was made in Italy as stamped on the bottom. Is this art deco, mid-century, is there a designer or design house noted for this work? thanks all. D. http://www.flickr.com/photos/badgurl/4568729407/
	I just received this:	1 Relevance	13 years ago	bj	General discussion
	I just received this: a Braun SK 25. Waited a long time for an example that wasn't cracked, had it's original knobs and has all it's internals. Paid 90 euro (roughly 95$?), including the shipping. I own already a small Braun PC 3-SV pick-up. I was hoping to connect this little thing to the SK 25, but now I see the radio features a 'din' socket (?) at the back, and my pick-up just has two cables (black & red)... Thinking about refinishing it too, as the paint on the cabinet is weathered (the red bakelite is coming through)... Any advise there?

	tktoo, thank you for the... tktoo, thank you for the nice compliment. I am not a professional, but sometimes i can't find a object that fits in my taste. So i make them myself. The cupboard was build in 2 weeks. Experiment with the colors/painting took the most time-consuming, until I was satisfied for assembling. I don't now if you can see it on the picture, but the wood looks if it is charcoal and the grain remains intact. The cupboard will be filled with more items worthy of display the next months, but that is the beautiful thing about having created more space:)
	My personal	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	My personal feeling is that we (mankind) used up a thousand years' worth of aesthetic material in the last century or so (in a way that parallels our exhausting of the planet's resources) and that, for the time being, there's nowhere left to go. This is not necessarily the same thing as "the end of civilization as we know it" -- though it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see Earth take her revenge any time now, either. Teak is a great idea. I don't know that I'd have thought of it 35 years ago, but that gives me no excuse for the more recent reissue. . .! Actually, they should properly be made of "resin" -- or maybe ceramic ? Koen ?
	alexandersforum	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	alexandersforum the only reason i said Jakobsen cause of the tallness of the lamp. The one i had was similar but had three rings on the lampshade and that was a style he did. I am beginning to see the Memphis era,in this lamp but i read a interesting article that any thing from the 80's that someone can not identify they throw it in the Memphis period. I am sure Ettore Sottass ,Marco Zanini,Daniel Weil,Shiro kuramata, George snowden, Michele De Lucchi, Aldo Cibic. and many more that my little pea brain can not think of would not agree.
	Not quite wrong,	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Not quite wrong, but over simplified. Many people make as much of a mistake in under-doing it as others do in over-doing it. Legibility is important for all collateral. Even more important is an understanding the effect of 'message' and sending the right one. For example, a film producer with 'printed-off-my-home-computer' biz cards would be a disaster. Equally, very slick letterhead and brochures for a non-profit is as incorrect. Marketing is a funny thing, half voodoo and hucksterism and half psychology and cultural studies.

	crankyd: congratulations... crankyd: congratulations on your finds. My wife and I stopped after 2 walnut DCW's, although I was eyeing the Nelson clocks as well. The one thing that stood out was the Noguchi sofa and ottoman, which I dont think sold. Just curious, where did you travel from. About the DWR employees, they were well organized and very nice, although they need ALOT more ticket writers. I talked to one of them when we were checking out and they said this was very mild compared to their previous SF warehouse sales. I also woundered if they made any more markdowns for Sun?
	What's the role of design and designers in these modern times	1 Relevance	13 years ago	bj	General discussion
	As I'm making some furniture myself I keep contemplating about the nessecity of a 'new' design, adding to the heep of things that were already thought out before me. I'm thinking: is there any need for another chair, or another table.. A lot of the things promoted as good design, seem shallow or superficial: only about the package, not innovative. I see it in the 'blog' here too, a lot of things seem to say: we don't know, we just try to do something different.. But this need for renewal seems so...stupid. Cars are a great example of this, more than ever they have become a fashion. Burping out a new package for intrinsicly the same thing. What do you think designers should bow their heads over?
