	The only thing, SDR	2 Relevance	15 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	The only thing, SDR is that if you or anyone else here wants to try some Revere Ware, I strongly suggest you don't buy any of the new pieces available. They're much lighter weight and the handles and knobs are no longer quality bakelite...they're now shiny plastic. You can find vintage pieces are thrift stores all over the place because they were best sellers in their day. The pieces I use the most are the * sauce pans with lids * large dutch oven/soup pot for making soup and especially for boiling pasta * the closed tea kettle is nifty, if you can find one in good condition
	The whole slicing with a knife blade thing	2 Relevance	12 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	The whole slicing with a knife blade thing is moot, anyway, unless you can find plywood with plies vertically oriented. I'd hesitate to spend a lot on a specialized precision table saw blade unless my table saw were up to it. Remember, any arbor or (worse) arbor flange runout is magnified at the blade circumference.
	The closest thing I can come	2 Relevance	10 years ago	kittybufu	General discussion
	The closest thing I can come up with is that it may have been made by Paoli chair company. From searching I found one on etsy listed as a Paoli chair. Images of the one I found that's very similar on etsy.

	is it a swedish/german thing?ref:frank/klint etc. Koen it always stuck me as ironic as well as naif like- for famous designers,to want to produce anom.-(TYPE FORM) designs.I as well admire the early often simple generic objects,we can admire,they can and do inspire but we can never copy them.All objects have the imprint of the time/era they were produced.

	I don't know a thing about	2 Relevance	8 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	I don't know a thing about Arne Norell, so I can't help you there! Sorry. Others on DA will be more of a help with that than I am. I know that designers generally did not make less expensive versions of their designs (I'd say none of them ever did but then someone would come up with an example--so I'll just say it would be very unusual.) I also know for sure that designers' work was copied with small changes that obviously made production faster and cheaper--while not necessarily taking anything away from the basic quality of the piece. So you could have a well made sofa, just not quite the one that Arne Norell designed. Some copies were made in the far east but others were made in Scandinavia, and many pieces were copied back in the day, not recently.
	The only thing missing...	2 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	The only thing missing... in Galen Cranz book is a real dynamic anthropometrical and ergonomic evaluation. Unfortunately even that approach is not trans-cultural, so you have to limit yourself to the "chair" cultures. To be seated is not a comfortable position and even in the office workplace it is a relatively recent development. My great-uncle was a (small) banker and his employees were all working in a standing position on high desks. So one has to consider two things, not only the seated position, but also the work or the activity done while seated.
	whats that thing...	2 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	whats that thing... ...where a person takes everything someone says absolutely literally? Thanks SO MUCH for the art history lesson. And Im so excited because now I know the truth. That was real cool of you to tell me about how Monet would not even have been able to understand Warhol and everything (!!!) Really! OMG. OMG OMG!!!!! But then, how later on, Warhol would still be great anyway! OMG!!! That is fucking awesome!! Thanks so much for pointing that all out. Especially since, like you know, I am a college teacher who has been teaching art as long as you have been alive, and doing art for longer than you have been alive, so this is a real eye opener for me!!!! YAY!!! I will have to hurry along and tell all of my students this new revelation! I understand now, and I guess I really didn't before. Thanks so much again for setting me straight.
	The Last Thing That You Acquired #31	2 Relevance	12 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	Todays thing was from my fav charity store, being a mirror made of brass, steel, and raw deer meat. I will move it to the left tomorrow (concrete wall, so I'll have to use my front tooth and a masonry drill bit). oh god, is it tacky? Hi. I think that it's old, as it was filthy. Hi. Aunt Mark
	Its a truthiness thing for me	2 Relevance	12 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	Its a truthiness thing for me, a single layer of paint over a concrete or brick wall is ok but when its done like this (no offense op its my puritanical madness) all I see is studs insulation drywall and cover strips tarted up. I also find most buildings more attractive when they are covered in scaffolding. The room needs sonething though, some kind of violence. Rules? Things look good in threes and other odd numbers, 1:1.618 nuf said, good lighting makes the food taste better. You need a collection of bleached animal skulls on that wall.
	One more thing...	2 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	One more thing... As a lawyer Brandon also knows that music is protected under the copyright law and gives protection 50 years after the death of the composer of the music and the writer of the text. One could of course argue that what is good for the gander is good for the goose, so why the difference between composers, writers photographers, illustrators etc. etc. and designers... One big difference with most copyrighted material is that it can and will be reproduced as long as you pay for it. If I pay royalties I can play or sing a beatles song without having to ask Paul,Ringo or the estate of John or George....With products, the owner of the design can refuse a licence
	The Next To Last Thing I Acquried	2 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	The Next To Last Thing I Acquried I just moved to a bigger apartment in NYC and there's a dedicated dining space/eat in kitchen. I immediately knew I wanted a vintage table and chairs, had a fairly limited budget, and was well aware of how over inflated the price of EVERYTHING worth having is in NYC. That being said, I was nearly bowled over when I came across this set. I don't know why someone didn't snatch it up, as the price was well below similar, even less complete sets I've run across. Luckily they didn't and now it's mine. It's a Sculptra Dining Set from Broyhill's Premier line (of which Brasilla was the same line, but far more popular) series. It's a table with the 3 original leaves and 6 dining chairs- 4 regular and 2 arm chairs. The set is in very good vintage condition physically, but I suspect it's had a once over with some sort of "restore-in-a-can" product. Regardless, I love it because it's the exact thing I was looking for, and the scale is perfect for my apartment. I consider it a "find" not only because I L.O.V.E it, but because I found a similar set (8 chairs, 2 leaves) listed by a dealer in San Francisco that was asking $3,600- I didn't pay anywhere near even a QUARTER of that for my set! As a bonus, and much to my surprise, beneath two layers of hideous seat re-upholster jobs (one fabric more so than the next- see below), the original fabric was there. It's in not great condition, but I may try to conserve it and use it as the lining for whatever fabric ultimately ends up on the outside. Below is a link to a great site, Retro Renovation, that posted a catalog (my dining chair, first image) from the series that she got from the current owners of the Broyhill brand name. There was another site that I'd stumbled upon that had done a whole write up/history of the line and how it came to be, but I've not relocated it. There is also a scan of an original retail/wholesale price list floating about the interwebs, and the item numbers match those that are stenciled to the bottom of my table- which is fun. http://retrorenovation.com/2012/10/08/broyhill-brasilia-sculptra-picture...
	One thing I have used . . .	2 Relevance	22 years ago	Curvy Sofa	General discussion
	One thing I have used . . . is perforated stainless steel. Not as a divider, but as inserts on cabinet doors and such. Could also be used a a divider panel and would weigh less than solid steel (if that is an issue). If you didn't want the see through of perf you could add a fabric or plastic panel of some sort to one side to block vision. Or even sandwich something between two panels. Stainless steel is heavy but durable. Aluminum would also work well, but can be easily scratched and dented. I have included a link for one perforated metal source, but there are many others. http://www.mcnichols.com/
	Damn, only one thing?	2 Relevance	21 years ago	sharplinesoldtimes	General discussion
	Damn, only one thing? Well, if I really had to choose, I'd pick a extremely rare version of Eero Saarinen's No. 71 chair with plywood back and wooden legs, both made with teak. This version was only made in Belgium under license from Knoll. The No. 71 chair is one of my favourite chairs of all time so owning this version would be mindblowing. By the way, if you have some spare wooden legs for such a chair lying around, please mail me. Hints are welcome too 🙂

	Stephen...read the thing you posted more carefully FIREPLACE... FIREPLACE! Not woodstove. There is a big difference! Pay attention! Now repeat after me.... Fireplace= Bad Woodstove= Good Exceptions: High-mass, circuitous flue fireplaces are good. Big gaping, open woodstoves are not good.
