	Jim	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Jim A color wheel is a motorized thing with a light bulb and disc of clear plastic divided into several sections, each a different color. You put it under the tree and the disc rotates over the light bulb and the tree turns blue, red, and green in turns. (It's for sparkly silver aluminum trees.) There's probably at least one forum somewhere on the internet devoted to these, if not more.

	your list not bios A monograph on a designers work is one thing,a biography is another.There are VERY few designer bios.We know or care very little about the PERSONALITY of the designer.Who cares?We should not care?Its not important?Actually there are few really definitive /COMPREHENSIVE(monographs) books on a designers body of work.The list/ compilation mode is the rule in design literature.Very much by country or era.
	Oddly enough	1 Relevance	12 years ago	garlanre	General discussion
	Oddly enough the thing has started to grow on me. It is so awful that I can't stop looking at it (and yes, the diameter is 42 inches). It came out of the home of two elderly people who were moving to assisted living. Their house was filled with hollywood regency stuff. There were two nice La Barge tables on each side of the couch. But the lamps were truly fearful - oversized with gigantic scalloped shades with gold trim, lots of crystals dripping down, and heavy "bronze" bases. Whatever else this table might be, I think it's mid century. I'd still love to know who made it - Mastercraft maybe?
	Thank you	1 Relevance	15 years ago	niceguy	General discussion
	Thank you paulanna, Thank you for your posting. I truly like Ed Ruscha's work and I had no idea this piece existed. I haunt several locations that have old books and the only thing I found worth acquiring were the Keiler & Company, On Being One Hundred for Deloitte & Touche LLP ($3.00) and the High Museum of Art - Chorus of Light - Sir Elton John Collection by Rizzoli International - personally inscribed and autographed ($40.00). You have provided me with great knowledge and a desire to find this book. Thank you again. http://www.prsa.org/SearchResults/view/6M-050496/0/On_Being_One_Hundred
	I think you were right to use	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Spanky	Repair
	I think you were right to use more oil and more pads on the 2nd half. When it's that dirty you end up just smearing the dirt around unless you are generous with the oil and wipe it off as you go. Also, if you use plenty of oil then the grime won't clog up the steel wool so much and you can use it longer. One other thing: don't go too hard in one spot trying to smooth out a scratch. The natural pigment in the very top layer of wood cells darkens with age and it's easy to remove that to the point that it's noticeable. Just do a good overall job and then let it be for a week or so. Lots of times a scratch will darken alarmingly when you oil it, but then after a few days the oil soaks in and the scratch is barely noticeable.
	This made me laugh so hard!!!	1 Relevance	11 years ago	SandraG	General discussion
	This made me laugh so hard!!!! I am not offended in the least.:) I think it's hilarious. Trust me, I get people's horror when they see this chair....maybe I'm just attracted by the complete weirdness and ugliness of it? Or I'm interpreting my inability to stop staring at it as a good thing? It makes me smile in some perverse way. Imagine that there is a matching sofa out there somewhere. I do think that would be too much. I think my first thought when I saw it was, "What's going on here?" Some sort of craziness, I guess. Please don't judge my taste based on this chair....I really do like nice things. I am still keeping this chair, though, so I can see other people's expressions when they set eyes on it.
	Please Help Id this chair	1 Relevance	14 years ago	emanuel	Identification
	Any ideas on this chair. I'm at a lost. The chair is metal with straps under the seat, kind of like the way Gibbings did it with wood. The only thing that I can think of that is even remotely similar are the old school chairs with the legs that run left to right instead of front to back. Thank you in advance http://postimage.org/image/7qdt6ngbp/
	The bookmatching	1 Relevance	13 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	The bookmatching of the pattern means that the blocks and pieces were glued together, probably (given the open spaces between the pieces) in a matrix of resin, and then the panel was sliced into "veneer" leaves of some thickness, either with a bandsaw or on a veneer slicing device. Then, those slabs were cut into rectangles that mated neatly, like floor tiles -- you can see the straight lines of the joints -- glued into a single panel, and the whole thing was sanded. So, yes, I'd say it wasn't a home project. How big is the top ?
	well, i emailed special...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	maniqz	General discussion
	well, i emailed special... well, i emailed special k...and they responded quickly with a note that they have a superior shockmount now compared to 2 years ago...they sent me a new pair with free glue because they have lifetime warranty on their products...that's a plus for us customers... hume modern's reply was vague, they wanted me to send the whole chair when i was only asking for the shockmounts...they should read their customers letters more clearly...they did the same thing to me 2 years ago...quess they can make more money fixing than selling parts.
	well lrf is weighing in ...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	well lrf is weighing in ... well lrf is weighing in and you sound like you got a great deal a set of shock mount from Alfi Hume should cost around 80 bucks and be sure to get the right apoxi to bond Alfi will give you instructions how to repair it , the best thing is if you do it your self The chair needs to be off limits to any one for at least 14 days as that is how long it takes to bond. make sure your surface is completely clean, sounds like they never tried to drill a hole in the sides good luck sounds like you have a nice project.
	Sorry,	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Sorry, I wasn't aware that some colors were more likely to emit than others -- if that's what you're saying ? The asymmetry is probably the most interesting thing about these pieces. Note that the Berlin chair is seen in both right- and left-handed versions, while both of the van Gelder models (these are about six by seven inches) are of the same hand. It is a little hard to judge any of these chairs without knowing for sure how big they are. There is nothing in any of the photos to give them scale -- and chairs can have widely varying seat heights. The Berlin Chair is 106 cm high, with a seat height of 50 cm; the Steltman measurements are 70 and 40 cm.
	lighting fixture	1 Relevance	21 years ago	ChrisG-52	General discussion
	lighting fixture Thanks, SDR... Eddie, it sounds like you're headed down the right path. Congrats on your project. One thing I'll say- the dining room lighting fixture choice will be yours, you're the one that will live with it, so if you're in love with that one, you should grab it. However, if you are still open to suggestion, that one feels too angular for the space it will fill. Look at the chair backs at that dining table. Let them inspire you. Again, wonderful space you have. You will return to post photos, once the work is complete, of course? cheers, Chris
	Yes, color is very personal	1 Relevance	21 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Yes, color is very personal but I didn't get the feeling that patpoitup's red was a particularly warm red. The comment was 'lipstick' red, which is generally very true red or a more bluish red. Glass green is turquoise-y, which would be a hard combination to enjoy, I think. As you said color is personal, but there are some general rules that make success more likely, such as balancing warm to cool, saturated to flattened that sort ot thing. I may think Xmas colors are wretched, but many other combos or red/green are gorgeous to my mind.
	Spore's the one...	1 Relevance	21 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Spore's the one... Really great looking at night with glowing LEDs... Great company, too... Had problems with the first one with the rubbery button slightly dissentegrating... Shipped it back and got a new one at no charge... The new one has been up for two years and is holding up very well... Now I see they have a simple and well designed bell to match... As a friend of mine said "a doorbell is very important as it's the first thing you touch when arriving"... Spore buttons are very cool to touch, too... They have a soft rubbery texture... We're always getting compliments/comments...
	I thought about this as well...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Johann Mueller	General discussion
	I thought about this as well... But the paper vitra Label ( with a Number ) is on the suspicious antle, i dont think the metalworker would renew this sticker. So far I Gounod some more strange things: No Label on the Leather: Only on very old Ea from vitra The screw with cross: Vitra, Herman Miller uses the six-angle thing. The Händle on the back: No screw visible at vitras ea, in H.M.'s ea ( and in Mine ) Four screws for the six-angle tool... Maybe Hermitra... Vitrilla... Or just Guanghzou...
