	I'm guessing that the T-beam... I'm guessing that the T-beam was designed to get around this material's flexibility. Is that the right word? It sags. It's ok for decking as long as the joists are of something rigid and it doesn't have to span much distance. But they don't make conventional joists out of it because they will sag. I'm thinking this T-beam is their solution to that problem. Another thing I don't like about it is that it feels plasticky to my bare feet. It's not a beautiful material.

	Right, Leif---in 1972. But I remember in 1998 that about the only decent thing they had was the Møller 78 chair. I don't know for sure if they ever carried D-Scan furniture but I wouldn't be surprised. They were selling more contemporary style stuff near the end, too. There's a Wiki page for them. Such humble beginnings. My dear aunt and cousin lived in a Greenbelt rowhome back in the 60s and I visited them as a kid from Illinois. We didn't go to a Scan store, though--it was all DC monuments and museums in 100+ heat. Good times!
	You must be careful to	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	You must be careful to always immediately dry the exposed cast iron on the bottoms after washing. Mine get really rusty if I leave them in the dishwasher on the dry cycle, even--I guess they don't dry fast enough? Anyway, I have looked into seasoning the bottoms. There's a lot of misinformation out there but I believe that flaxseed oil is the only thing that really works. It oxidizes into a harder finish than any other oil. (How-to link below, in case you're interested.) These look like individual servers so you probably especially want to keep rust from forming. http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/a-science-based-technique-for-...
	Thanks	1 Relevance	13 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Thanks Riki: Olive expressed the same impulse once, too. And I don't disagree that a rug would really tie the room together. The thing is, I guess I'm still hoping that I'm only here temporarily. If I start to settle in and get comfortable, I might never escape back to Southern California. Wooden: See? I SAID my taste was simple. And as long as I'm chatting about my living room... Best compliment ever on the objects in it, nearly all of which were designed 50+ years ago: My eight-year-old niece, visiting last month for the first time, walks in, wanders around, and asks, "Is your furniture from the future?"
	.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	. The Sharpie is fine for the edge nicks as you say but the dead flat sheen of the surface will not touch up well. You might try mixing some sort of a translucent watercolor paint solution and daub/blot very carefully with a small brush and let dry to mute the impact of the worn areas. I say that this sort of thing is just characteristic wear due to the qualities of the finish though, and you'd do perfectly well to just let the dust and grime and slime of daily use build up a little bit and leave it be as suggested above.

	In my opinion, when it comes... In my opinion, when it comes to modern furniture this phrase is mostly a clue that the item is not orininal or the origin is unknown/unclear. But with older pieces it's a different thing. In pre-mass-production times copying or imitation had different value, hence "in the style of" might be desirable simply because originals are too rare to be affordable. What I'm saying is a quick recall of the earlier post "The knockoff Debate" (see link!) http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th...

	Neural connection really...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Neural connection really... Neural connection really seems more and more to be the story of life. Count me as one who is pleased too that this thread was rejuvinated, and glad to read dc's recent comment. One thing I want to make clear (seeing my old comments in these older threads has led to a neural connection that tells me I have a weird tendency to be way too oblique) is that one of the most important aspects of good health is to keep moving, literally and/or figuratively, long as you possibly can. I mean that.
	It's also becoming Prevalent	1 Relevance	11 years ago	difeliciantonio	General discussion
	It's also becoming Prevalent in transportation industry. Boeing has started making parts with printers and what I think is the coolest thing is that Koenigsegg is using them on the 1:one for the turbos Machines that people have at homes are like Form 1 which is SLA type Makerbot which is FDM type As there is different types of 3D printers in terms of how they build the object . Each with strengths and weaknesses whether it's time to build, strength of object, or the resolution of the print.

	Best current guess	1 Relevance	16 years ago	straylight	General discussion
	Best current guess My best current guess is that these wrought iron and oak chairs were manufactured by Selrite sometime in the mid 60's. This guess is based upon very similar Selrite designs in that time period. It is only a guess though as I have yet to find authoritative proof of my assumption. One thing is for certain, and that is that they were not designed by Paul McCobb. There is absolutely nothing in the historical record to support any claim that they were. http://paulmccobb.blogspot.com
	Happens ALL THE TIME...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	DudeDah	General discussion
	Happens ALL THE TIME... with me with "stuff". The one in my most recent memory is regarding the iPod HiFi I HAD TO HAVE only to grow unhappy with and replaced by the B7W Zeppelin that I HAD TO HAVE. At some point, I will get over my Zeppelin and replace it with "the NEW NOW". I now say to myself when BROWN SANTA comes to the door with that THING I couldn't live without, that, at some point, it too will be replaced. Speaking of the "new now", I mentioned in another thread the movie "Objectified" and the is really an interesting diatribe on the "new now" by one of the contributors. I think that movie is a MUST SEE for all the folks on this board.
	I'm not opposed	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	I'm not opposed I'm not opposed to having some of the icons in my home. I mean, there are reasons why we really like them, and those reasons are valid in spite of their sometimes over exposure. The danger is having JUST the classics with nothing that speaks more personally to the person inhabiting the space. The link below is to a photo on flickr. The layout is beautiful, but almost every single thing is out of the DWR catalog! There is no sense of the person who actually lives there! http://flickr.com/photos/jeansw/10472465/

	I didnt know Hille made the 670 671, learn something new everyday! I thought that i knew almost every thing about Herman Miller. Some one even asked if I work for the company, Can any one tell me about how long Hille made the chairs.. what years .... and did any one else besides Vitra make the chairs for Eames in Europe . I have always heard there was a European chair and somethings were different( I heard the zippers were different on the cushions and tucked in ) but now I know thanks for letting me know ..
