| moreibiza Knoll has only been stamping their name into the Bird chairs for the last ten years; older chairs are unmarked (although the fabric cover might have a Knoll label). There are only a few knockoffs currently being made, and they're laughably bad (pictures below). No one would mistake them for the real thing. As far as I know, there are no vintage knockoffs of the Bird chair. As onno said, if your chair is obviously old, it's genuine Knoll. | |||||
| Im amazed you dont think... | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Killian | General discussion | |
| Im amazed you dont think... Im amazed you dont think that it will help to know what country you are in. Anyway my two cents are that the shade is a real let down, the lamp base has an art deco Jaques Adnet feel but the shade is ugly and lacking any real features of a well designed piece. The whole thing would improve with a clean but I dont think you will make your fortune with this piece. | |||||

| So maybe I didnt get a steal of a deal, but all in all I think it was a fair deal. Plus he delivered it and I got the hanging bird thing, all for $480. 🙂 Dont judge the house too harshly, as I am finishing a god-awful remodel, and some things are still not finished. That makes three desks for me now (not counting the fraudulent Milo Baughman campaign desk)- two Mccobb's and a Stanley Young/Baughman desk. My desk fetish is now satisfied! Lately, I have been thinking more about clocks... | |||||
| X base... | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | Lunchbox | General discussion | |
| X base... And then there was the base. I had to laugh honestly. It had JUST been given a powdercoat treatment. Looked like it just rolled off the line. Obviously there was no mention of this in the listing. The feet however were proper and the base was authentic. But it was also worth noting that the base didn't fit the chair properly. I had to fight the thing to the point of being frightened of damaging the chair in trying to affix the last screw. So that would lend to either the chair being a marriage or possibly confirming that the shockmounts were indeed reglued and/or replaced. | |||||
| Collecting | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Arthur Sixpence | General discussion | |
| Collecting I agree with Gene collecting is a personal thing also when he ups and leaves for Unversity the collection will remain with you and if things stay as they are housing wise he will not want to take a collection into a rented house and again they will stay with you for safekeeping. There is also the possibility he may not like what you have collected and something you and your wife have spent alot of time and consideration on may be unwanted. Think of what you had as a child if it was the start of a collection then go for it keep it a tradition. I know these responses are probably not what you where after if I where you I would collect something that you are happy with and hope they feel the same way. | |||||

| RY series Hi there The unit you have was made and designed for RY møbler as part of a RY100 series variation. ca 1960-61 The RY 100 got it´s name from the 100cm width of each unit. What makes your system different is it´s ability to be completely flat packed once dismantled. The second unit Robert is showing is also from RY and is the RY20 model. It looks very solid but dismantles into top, bottom, and 2 sides with only 8 screws holding the whole thing together. Wonderful rosewood drawers, Robert | |||||

| More depressing blather I guess I'm not done. As I was just sitting here eatimg my lunch, looking at my fork, glass and peppermill and thought...maybe Marcel Wander is right, maybe old is the new new. Maybe I love clogs and cast iron skillets because no matter how old they are they work and they work well. Maybe a simpler life filled with simple thing isn't really it, maybe what I really want are things that work well and world of people that can enjoy those simple things with me. Or maybe I'm a complete idiot and should go back to doing my laundry. | |||||
| Noch en schloss! (an open letter to new retired SCHUMI) | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | designite | General discussion | |
| From what i have seen, you are about to settle on the the Leman lake shore in Gland switzerland in your new build bavarian styled castle. just one question M. SCHUMACHER, why is it so often, that leaders in one thing happen to have so lousy taste in other fields...A champion like you deserved a GEHRY touch (at least advice) on the architecture device. Do not want to offense, but your house is going to look like a pale Neuschwanstein, compared to what a Frank Gehry could have been done for you.You might have not not even asked him. But it is not too late to do so. Need your opinions about it. | |||||

| I agree. I'm not looking for... I agree. I'm not looking for an amen corner on this, but I'm glad that I am not the only one who's incredulous. The reply e-mail from the upholstery shop secretary was in its usual terse style, stating that they did not believe that these marks were caused by a person but by something else sitting in the chair. Wha? Talk about insult to injury. Warranty void upon self-serving conjecture! Anyway, if they were going to do this steam-thing, I thought maybe it was something I could do myself. You're right, I suspect that they are dodging any accountability and that this is maybe only a token consolation. You're also right that I paid a healthy lot for work to be done. Mighty pissed. | |||||
| North Bend Municipal Pool--remarkable MCM,,,who do I alert about it? | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| There is a remarkable municipal swimming pool built in a modernist form language located in North Bend, Oregon adjacent to Coos Bay Oregon. It is an amazing combination of concrete, steel and timber that has an enormous atrium with a southern exposure. The building is 50 years old. It was apparently the work of a local engineering firm. No architect is listed on the plaque outside. I just stumbled into this building today. The lettering used on the building interior is very FLW and the sweeping modulated spaces of this swimming pool are like no other pool that I have seen. These engineers were influenced by Wright. This thing is an important piece of architecture. The atrium on the southern exposure rises about three stories and the aluminum frame atrium wall has HUGE sliding panels that raise up to control ventilation. It is a horse shoe shaped pool. Even the pool has a Wright feel to it. And the life guard stands are these utterly remarkable sculptures. If anyone reads this and lives in Oregon and has any influence with architectural preservation alert the proper authorities. The building is currently being rehabilitated in phases, but I can find no indication that the building is viewed as an architectural landmark. Instead, it seems to be a vital community facility and is being contemporized. The rehab is going to change it over from fuel oil power and is going to change it from chlorine to salt purification systems. Dressing rooms are being altered into public bathrooms. And so on. I don't see any sign that this building is on any protected list. Someone in architectural preservation ought to look into and be apart of this renovation process. And whomever engineered it ought to be studied. This thing was way ahead of its time. | |||||
| dcm / lcw repair | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | khus | General discussion | |
| dcm / lcw repair Swampgas, Have not been on here for a brief. Am at work, but will check the thickness and manufacturer of the product for you and write again. Biggest thing I found is to completely tape(blue painter's tape) all the way around the back as tight a posibble(individual pieces front to back-lots of tape!) for a really good edge adhesion. Then place in the vacuum bag for the overall pressure. Arrived at this through a few trials. Worked perfect. I will read my posts again to see if anything else occurs to me. | |||||

| . The thing I would avoid is trying to sand the existing edge off. This would be time-consuming, and when the adhesive layer was reached, sanding would be compromised or impossible. Worse, the risk of rounding over the crucial top edge is great. At all costs, the squareness and even-ness of that arris must be maintained. If sanding were unavoidable, I would construct a device that held a hard (not soft) sanding block at a constant right angle to the table top, with an arm that rode on the top surface. . . | |||||
