	Again	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Again 'I wasn't basing anything on Google hits, just pointing out his name is synonymous with that of the Bauhaus. He came from the Wiener Werkstatte and nowadays his Kubus sofa and chair are a recognised icon of Bauhaus design. Maybe it's just me, but I see that as a link..' But yes, I see your point on the Google thing.... rather amusingly, the top google hit for 'bauhaus wiener werkstatte' is this thread.......
	?	1 Relevance	23 years ago	deacon	General discussion
	? attraction is part of the function. flowers are visually pleasing to "trap" insects to spread pollen to ensure the survival of the species. what's wrong with looking good? if it is just about how things work, would you marry brad pitt or danny de vito (assuming they both "work" the same)? the thing is, you won't know how they would "work". most people simply assume something works better if it looks better. (or course there are plenty of exceptions) other than looking good, i guess there are other ways to get attention...
	RE: Early 80s Pollock Executive Chair: height adjustable?	1 Relevance	6 years ago	user_73	General discussion
	I have a Knoll Pollock executive chair as well. So old that the wheels are metal balls and not black plastic. The tag underneath is a bit distorted, but it's either made in 1970 or 1978. It is a little low for me. If I turn the chair upside down, and I see a rectangular bolt, secured with what is called an e-clip or e-ring. Turning the bolt with a wrench doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried spinning the chair counterclockwise while holding the base to raise the height--that didn't do a thing either.
	We understand your annoyance...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	essai	General discussion
	We understand your annoyance... We understand your annoyance about this person posting every day on the forum. Unfortunately, for the moment, we cannot block a person through his IP address. As you know, we are working on new improvements that are going to be launched soon and it will then be possible to block him with his IP address. Until then, the only thing that we can do is to delete his messages as soon as we see them. We have contacted both, the poster and the gallery, to ask them to discuss and find a solution but, apparently, they did not succeed. Sorry for all this and thank you for your patience.
	wtf are you expecting ?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	chewbacca rug (USA)	General discussion
	wtf are you expecting ? go ahead and try them, you are buying from a company who sells chinese knock-offs. you would be better off saving your money until you can afford to buy the real thing. it always amazes me that folks who buy knock-offs from these outfits expect first class service at a discounted price for an illegally made chinese knock off purchased from a third rate retailer. and then they bitch on this board when it doesn't go as they planned.
	Unfortunately, your llama...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	Unfortunately, your llama... Unfortunately, your llama friend is probably gone. I think you should have bought him. Obviously your fondness has not waned even though you have heard "expert" opinions. I don't think there is anything wrong with adding some things others would deem as "wrong." It's actually the thing that adds personality and individuality to your abode. Next time, while you may still be interested in our opinions of an object, I wouldn't ask right out whether or not you should buy it. If you really like it, you SHOULD buy it! I have several little cheesy knick knacks that I love ... I think everyone does that's honest with themselves! I personally thought your llama was kinda cute.

	Pearsall Sofa??	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	hey all, I came across a CL listing and was curious. I've seen this sofa attributed to Adrian Pearsall over and over again but I cant seem to find any record of this being one of his designs, the closest thing I've seen is the 2404-s and even then the differences seem to far out weigh the similarities. I'm not in the market for a sofa right now but I always check CL (just in case...:), its a sickness. lol.) Anyway i thought i would see if any of you had any idea. maybe this Thanks again.
	Do you have a preferred shop for table tops?	1 Relevance	14 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Doing another thing with hairpin legs. Last time I used a solid core door as the top, but I have grown unhappy with its orange color and obviously veneer surface. The door 'top' is nearly 2 inches thick, and the option I am looking at right now is this pine top by IKEA for about $60. Its only an inch thick so I am kind of hesitant to use it as a desk top. Are there any alternatives in this price range? I know there are some good options for mdf with a fake wood color but I would like to avoid that entirely. Not a fan of particle board.
	My husband uses too many	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Riki	Off topic
	My husband uses too many paper towels, too. Y chromosome thing? And Windex. He is a fiend for Windex. Unexplainable. Here are my favorite boots. I think, (read am afraid), that they may actually be pony skin. I bought them in Prague 7 years ago. I don't think they are too picky about their skins in Prague.
	Just bought two of these	1 Relevance	11 years ago	jkome	General discussion
	Just bought two of these chairs at Goodwill for $9 each. Love them but that crazy CB/GB diamond trademark has me stumped. Don't suppose there are any new thoughts on what that trademark stands for.? The only thing close looked like maybe "Conant-Ball" but their furniture tag wasn't close. Hmmm...
	They look like they don't need to be redone but...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Sanju-Nanaju	General discussion
	They look like they don't need to be redone but... Thanks for your advice on the boucle and the Hallingdal. We are definitely considering them and they are top contenders. Spanky do you remember what Knoll fabric your client chose for the Flexsteels? - Just curious. As far as not needing to be redone...the green sofa has horrible pitting of the foam (like cellulite) all along the back rest. The yellow guy ...well you dont really want to look under that cushion it's all crusty and discolored and the whole thing smells like smoke. Trust us we have some great use from the green sofa at least.
	Max De Pree - Son of Herman Miller founder	1 Relevance	14 years ago	nico leo	General discussion
	Max De Pree - Son of Herman Miller founder About 4 or 5 years ago there was a Herman Miller furniture exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. One of the pieces in the show was Max De Pree?s own early 670 Lounge and Ottoman. The funny thing is that his chair had been repaired at some point by drilling the sides and putting bolts through them. The repairs and since been reversed and the drill holes had been patched and filled but you could tell they had been there.
	Huh.	1 Relevance	14 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Huh. Well, that makes it (semi) official -- for the moment ? I can't blame them for trying -- in these trying times. Variety is the spice of life . . . The way to make that form in wood is to gang a bunch of solid wood staves together into the approximate form of the chair -- with staggered joints where the seat turns into the back, I guess -- and then carve the whole thing into a shell on a CNC machine. The shell might be as little as 3/4" thick -- in the middle -- tapering to 3/8" at the edges ?
