	Only could the guy	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	Only could the guy who owns an upholstery shop post photos of a sofa in one color fabric on the 14th of November and nine days later post photos of the same sofa in a whole different color and fabric. You are a luck, luck, lucky man Mr. LRF. It looks great! The rest of us (at least in Florida) would still be waiting for the upholster to pick the damn thing up for recovering.

	Sadly to say, the first... Sadly to say, the first thing that popped into my head when I ready 'cycling products' was products for cycling a salt water fish tank. I was wondering why someone would post about products for setting up a marine aquarium on this site. It wasn't until I opened the post that the thread was about actual cycling on bicycles...duhhh. I guess my first conclusion as to the subject tells you what my other hobby is 🙂
	Unrelated	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Unrelated I'm fine with mixing woods as long as they are not immediately adjoining (and I mean immediately). Probably the thing I would find most disconcerting is the pine table with the ash chairs, but thats a problem easily solved with a new table, or some stain. Since the walnut cabinets will be on the walls, and the chairs will be on the floors, and the contrast will be significant, I don't see any reason why you should avoid mixing.

	Some people just hate the Eam... Some people just hate the Eames Lounge Chair. It happens to be my favorite piece of furniture. Yes, the shock mounts are annoying, but after a good repair, they're good for another 20 years which I find acceptable. Some people say it doesn't recliner which is true but I"m OK with it. No, it's not a perfect piece of furniture, but is there such a thing anyway? In fact, mine has the somewhat flat down cushions and I think they look beautiful.
	Yes, I had posted around	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	Yes, I had posted around February with pictures from the seller. Haven't been able to find anything similar. One really unique thing is that the doors that sit in front are in the middle (no other way of putting it in, there's a stopper in the middle and only these 2 doors had the cut out to fit flush in). Normally the front doors sit far left and far right. Also the drawers inside sit on top of glides, no notch in them to glide on. I may have to just think some random woodworker in a remote town in Denmark made it one-off. It feels like a blend of Henry Rosengren Hansen and Arne Vodder.
	I don't think it's Knoll for	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I don't think it's Knoll for the reason Vintage pointed out, but I don't think it's Burke either. Below is a Burke table (they came with plain white tops, too). Unless Burke changed the design of the base at some point---but it's just as likely that some other company copied the design, too. Seems like a pretty easy thing to knock off...?
	repros	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	repros have not gotten good. You are rationalizing. Just say its about money if its about money. Thats fair and understandable. But don't say repros have gotten "good". That relegates everything to just the "look"--and puts authenticity on the back burner. Once someone looks at your LOOK, then what? Does the conversation end there? No. This IS the learning curve. And if we talk about this "look" thing any further, we must use specific examples so I can explain in detail why every repro you can cite as an example is not "good". They cut corners. They dishonor the designer. They come with built in apologies. I would rather have a totally trashed original at the same price as a squeaky clean fake.
	whc	1 Relevance	16 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	whc I think you are unnecessarily rude. There is no reason to question WHY a poster wants something. We could all say the same thing about one another ..."oh you just want an Eames lounger because ..." Perhaps we should keep the focus on the objects and design itself, rather than the personal validity of our members no? I don't know much about sculpture either, and I see this as a decent question. I have wondered and wanted to own sculpture before as well. Not to show off, but sometimes only paintings can get boring and having some 3 dimension art can be fun. How is Lit Up supposed to "see first, buy next" if he/she doesn't know where to look? Pull your panties out of your tight @ss and answer the question or walk. It's that simple. Now if anyone has an actual answer I am actually curious to hear it. Cheers.

	Now this has been a fun ID th... Now this has been a fun ID thread. How can we find out for sure?! I still think it's Knoll. I have a friend who bought a MCM house where the owners left their outdoor Bertoia set. I think they might not have these rails, but I don't remember. Another thing of interest, is that the outside has double wire, like an Eames wire chair. The very first issue was like this, and many people don't realize that. SO many might think that was a copy as well, but it is quite authentic. Herman Miller forced Knoll to use a single thick wire instead in court bc the systems was too similar to the Eameses (which was probably designed by Bertoia to begin with).

	with your Euro the way it... with your Euro the way it is you could make a trip to NYC and go to DWR and buy everything with your strong Euro, and have it all shipped over, since they have a lot of stuff on the floor you could get a deal and also make sure that it gets marked as Used and i bet even save more money, for the first time in 50 years you guys are in the drivers seat with the money. you can just about do any thing you want with your strong Euro even buy a few oil contracts and make some real money,
	I'm watching the opening	1 Relevance	11 years ago	SDR	Off topic
	I'm watching the opening credits of "Shamus" (copyright 1972): Burt Reynolds is getting out of bed (a pool table) with a splitting headache (hangover), staggering around his loft (yes, they had them back then) because he has to get ready to be a shamus (I'm guessing). The cast credits include Morris the cat (remember him ?). Should I keep watching -- or just Google the whole thing, Morris, Reynolds, the director (Buzz somebody, believe it or not . . .) ? So far, the transfer looks great -- almost HD, on my 19" screen . . .

	I'm not saying it's a poor piece... All well made or well thought out things have some degree of something about them. Whether that thing is art is debatable. But this platform doesn't strike me as such. It's so simplistic. I'm not saying it wasn't well crafted or even well thought out, mind. But it's a simple platform. You wouldn't call Noguchi an artist or even an artisan based on this piece alone now would you? Or more to point, were I to craft this exact form in teak would you deem it art? Would it be my take on this form in teak? Surely not...

	Variety is the spice of capit... Variety is the spice of capitalism. A buddy inherited a 1964 Montclair in high school from his grandpa. When I saw that photo, the first thing I thought of was that back window (the back window over the trunk slid down, electically, if I remember right). It led to a lot of shenanigans. It had the 390 I think, and was a bit of a dog speedwise but fun. I remember my parents had a Galaxy 500 in the late 60s/early 70s. I drove it out in the pasture once and got in a little trouble.
	$400.00 for key wind-up, hellava good deal	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	$400.00 for key wind-up, hellava good deal Yes, Howard Miller did offer some of the best selling wall clocks in both electric and wind-up. This makes sense because; 1) Howard Miller had the technology in place, and 2) George Nelson was keening involved in BOTH home and office use, and some offices might not want the cord showing on their wall, so a wind-up was the next best thing. As to if the Ball Clock was available in the kew wind-up format from the first day of sale, that I'm not sure of.
	RE: Ludvig Pontoppidan PO13 serving cart	1 Relevance	7 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Repair
	The cabinetmakers tended to maker up loose cards for their designs. Then the catalog would be a binder with a pocket for all the cards. I guess this made it easier to add or subtract things. The cabinetmakers were not generally large business who printed catalogs. The Niels Vodder 1956 catalog was a very unusual thing for a cabinetmaker. Of course by 1956 it is not too certain he would have been considered a cabinetmaker and it is none too certain that the distinction meant anything anymore.
