	Former BMW designers were	1 Relevance	11 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Former BMW designers were poached by the the Koreans, like Christopher Chapman and Peter Schrieyer (sp?). Hypothetically, what if others were poached by Mitsubishi? Or more insidiously, what if BMW outright designed a prototype for Mitsubishi? Toyota designed the Pontiac Vibe for GMC not so long ago. In fact the automotive industry is filled with this sort of thing. It might well be wholly reasonable to consider it a BMW in spite of the Mitsubishi logo. Not so easy a question really.
	Thanks a lot for your answer.	1 Relevance	11 years ago	DrPoulet	General discussion
	Thanks a lot for your answer. Indeed, there are a lot of obvious differences with the chair we are both thinking of. Actually, I was thinking of Jalk / Jeppesen because the top of the back rest looks very much like the one from PJ 3-2 chairs I own. Then the thing that is bothering me is that I have seen this armchair attributed to Grete Jalk (but without reference to a maker) on many dealers websites. All of them based in France. I guess that might a danish style french chair or a model that was imported over here. Ok, now I have to buy the chair if I want to find out more about it... 🙂 Thanks again Leif!

Not my picture, good thinking about reversing that cut though, I bought a book yesterday at the market on making small wooden boxes, the sort of thing you find in good craft galleries, some of the joinery is very nice and could apply to drawers I think. Ah well when I get all that white ant damage repaired (I had to cut out entire joists and tear up floor) there will be photos.

	Didn't saw the film. I... Didn't saw the film. I guess is the one linked below. I'll try to see it. I see an interesting issue: the relation legal and ethical (specially when are not aligned (many times)) On the specific of the film, I see that's good for big Amercian audience. But in Europe and other places there are thing much more interesting with almost no promotion/propaganda. There is one unfinished thread related..., I'll try to find it. http://www.garbagewarrior.com/trailer.html

	The chairs and sofas all use... The chairs and sofas all use the same parts - they're interchangeable since the knock down. The "armless" sides are optional; some sofas / chairs have them, and some don't. This is true for several Seligs: the style Onno posted, your style, and even the Z chair. The one curious thing about yours is the little dowel on the armless side. I've not seen that detail before.

	my drawing skills arent what... my drawing skills arent what they used to be, but if you can imagine a spiral running perhaps 1/3 of the way down a cylinder, maybe spiralling the vase 5 or 6 times? The spiral could start about 10mm, below the lip of the vase. It would be a delicate thing though.
	frankielemmons--congrats on	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	frankielemmons--congrats on the rocker! I haven't redone one of those but I did do the back on the Hans Olsen settee, which is the same pattern. It took me a bit to work out how to anchor then ends but once i got that I pretty much zipped through it. Do start a new thread when you're ready. minimoma--I've always loved that kettle. I had the exact same one and the dark brown with the color of the wood (oak?) handle made me think of chocolate and caramel: always a good thing. I finally sold it to someone in Japan but I kinda wish I hadn't. I have the Chemex pot too. So elegant.

	Yea Craiglist is notorious for people renegging... I had so many things go awry on CL because I expressed interest "too soon" and scared off the sellers into either keeping their items or selling to a "higher offer".Hate when that happens!I was closing in on a beautiful Edward Fields custom rug,but the lady emailed that her husband thought it was really valuable and rather than endure the toture if she sold it,she bowed out of the deal in the name of preserving sanity.Sad thing is ,it was her mum's originally,and the rug is sitting in her garage-mouse bait.Well,what can you do?

	did pace make knockoff pieces?	1 Relevance	15 years ago	pace	General discussion
	did pace make knockoff pieces? Has anyone heard of pace selling/producing knockoff pieces? I saw what I thought was a mies van der rohe Barcelona table at an estate sale today... the seller said the owner had bought it from pace for $3800. The base looks like a perfect knockoff if its not actually the real thing. Any info would be greatly appreciated! I might buy it for $300tomorrow.
	and	1 Relevance	16 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	and And yes I can see Tynell having had a second issue base with first issue tabs. I suppose it is just a matter of do you believe him or not. I see no reason not to on the tab point. I do both design and production. It is normal to make a pile of one thing and then to move on to the next. Uneven amounts are par for the course. I would certainly like to see a close up of the suspect base in question to see better the aging, though I do see some pitting. The tab welds look original too. Original base? Sure, why not? Original to the chair? I can't see the imprint on the mounts clearly enough in the pic.

	Tips for removing wood glue?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	I recently picked up an older Nakashima straight-back chair for Knoll. However, someone decided it was a good idea to use COPIOUS amounts of yellow wood glue to reglue all the back spindles in, top and bottom. I would like to take the chair apart and put it back together correctly. Anyone have any ideas that work for removing or loosening wood glue enough to get this thing apart?
	Attribution	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Attribution Yes, George Nelson sounds like a person he was, but George Nelson was also a brand - but we've had the discussion about attribution. Legally no attribution is needed. No-one squawks about the Eames Office not giving credit (except, apparently, Bertoia) I mean, does anyone really thing Frank Gehry designs his stuff? Or Phillipe (gag) Starck? Of course not - they are brand names, far beyond the individuals.
