	The Bull Horn is nice for sure, but for me	1 Relevance	13 years ago	cysco	General discussion
	The Bull Horn is nice for sure, but for me the Cow Horn is the most beautiful chair Wegner made (even more stunning than The Chair) The subtle curve of the back. The amazing joinery. From the proper angle, the back really does look like a cow's horn. Simply stunning. I only wish they weren't so rare. My dream set of six I fear may never sit around our table. I can only hope my set is sitting out there somewhere, just waiting to be posted on craigslist for a song. 🙂 Dare I say it's the one thing I'd seriously consider a quality reproduction of?
	The blue chair has the early removable cover	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	The blue chair has the early removable cover which is held on by a hidden wire. These early covers were designed to be interchangeable. Remove the cover and you should have pretty minty fiberglass. And the funny thing: without the cover you pretty much double its market value. If you can't make out the text in the ad below, it reads: "trimly tailored foam rubber pad, a perimeter lock makes entire pad removable for drycleaning"

	I am assuming its vinyl. I... I am assuming its vinyl. I am really not sure. the seat cushion material feels kinda stiff, that is why I thought it was vinyl. Would the tag say if it is leather? an antique dealer recommended a cleaner with beeswax. she showed me on some old dry antique case and it brought it back within a few seconds. It looked all nice and shiny, also alot cleaner. OH one more thing the chair is wobbly on the base. how do i tighten it up. once again thanks for the input and advice.
	Koen is correct	1 Relevance	20 years ago	James Collins	General discussion
	Koen is correct as usual. This is in my old business. A good high end professional rendering system can make nearly any object model look photo-realistic. A good CGI image should look just like another photograph of the real thing. As for models, good modeling work these days involves 3D coordinates for literally millions of polygons to model say one spaceship. This looks like nice Apple Mac modeling/rendering from about 1989.
	There is an online program you can try	1 Relevance	21 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	There is an online program you can try It's at Benjamin Moore. This might help you out. SDR is rightthat is you do a B/W picture you'll get a truer look at the final colors. I own a copy of this, I've not used the online version, but it should at least give you some idea on colors. Note one thing from your earlier message, the apt. you liked best had warm furniture tones, but a very cool wall tone. I'm not sure what that will mean for your space but it does make me think you prefer a cool space and maybe you should just go towards that rather than trying to balance war/cool. Just a thought... http://www.benjaminmoore.com/index.asp
	Haha.	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Mark	Repair
	Haha. I'll ask permission to photograph my cousins duck decoy collection. A ruthless collection ( he bought quite of few pieces whilst driving in "disguise" a a beat up old Buick Electra when scouting certain decoys, and was forced to buy an old Mercedes with another decoy purchase). A big article in a big magazine a few years back. Big. He now uses spotters. Not my thing. I like pants. And shoes. And pet chickens. And I like y'all. oh birds, Aunt Mark ps. don't forget to feed the birds. they are our friends.
	Knoll Tulip Table Real or Knock-Off?	1 Relevance	14 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Hi, I'm pretty sure this Knoll table is a knock-off, but not 100% sure from the picture. It is quite far from my house, but if it is a REAL one, I will go and fetch it (@ CA$600), but if not, I won't bother given the snowstorm outside and certainly not with that pricetag. For one thing, the edge isn't bevelled. And there is the table top that splits in half to receive an extension. Here is a picture. Thank you!
	Need Help: Le corbusier sofa by Alivar	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Redbull	General discussion
	I am thinking to buy a second hand Le Corbusier Petite 3 Seater for 800 and the one seater for 500. They are made by Alivar. The only thing is the leather is a bit cracked but only at the joints as the previous owner has used the wrong products for cleaning. (The joints are not white-ish as opposed to black). However apart from that the leather on all other areas are in good condition, The support are not even sunk in at all. The reason why the owners are selling this piece is because they are downsizing to a smaller area. What do you guys think? I do not have a picture.. Any tips will be greatly appreciated
	yeah I thought of that too ...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	yeah I thought of that too ... as in a reflecting pool. You could look at the night sky without looking up. Like when you are blazed and dozing off...? But seriously, I agree most with tktoo... the scale is what struck me first. It's massive. Very striking though. Mark, I like that you bravely try different stuff. I like your lack of fear, and your openness to critique. Not everybody has the ability to do that. I like round stuff. This reminds me of my 1980's mirror with the thin black rubber edge. it's the only thing I still have from that time. I think it came from the original "Z" Gallery, when everything in it was black and white. Now the Z gallery makes me want to barf.
	Not a fan.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	artsnot	General discussion
	Not a fan. Personally, I don't like it at all and don't think it will mix well. It's too biomorphic and awkward looking. As you stated of Plycraft, the details are odd on this chair as well. It lacks the refinement of the Aluminum Group pieces. The base is too thick in relation to the much thinner profiles of the seat, back and arms. Additionally, the curves of the chair do not make sense against the sharper angles of the base. Not sure which vintage Nelson and Eames pieces you have, but I think this thing will stick out like a sort thumb next to them. Just my opinion. Hope it helps.
	Or how about a Noguchi hanging lamp?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Tulipman	General discussion
	Or how about a Noguchi hanging lamp? They are beautiful,and can often be found on Ebay. Anyhow,I do own the Nelson saucers and love them.They're like a MCM Navy blue blazer for lighting.Perhaps not the most exciting thing,but always look great wherever,and cast a beautiful glow.Guess what,I paid 75 dollars for an original (bordering on mint) 24" Nelson saucer for my master bedroom and I'll never grow sick of it. BTW,it replaced the Ikea lamp which previously occuupied that space....I kinda miss it,though...NOT!! :^)

	I suppose the finish depends... I suppose the finish depends on the conext, wax, soap etc seems fine for domestic furniture, the acrylics and polys for commercial use where its not maintained and subject to more wear...these days I try and avoid anything I wouldn't want to stick in my mouth or breathe in too deeply, how long did the tung oil take to dry? Using vaseline on turnings is my new favourite, its not at all greasy after buffing and is very fast though I want to try walnut oil too. The periodic maintenance of 'natural' finishes is almost fun, if you like that sort of thing.

	looks like a bunch of nic... looks like a bunch of nice Jewish kids! The little girl looks like my daughter I almost did a double take, and i suppose she will come back with a picture just like that cause she is going to Israel the last week of December, It does look like they hit home depot and the plumbing section for that version of a giant Menorah, I guess with Hanukkah around the corner they will be ready, I just hope the damn thing does not burn as that would be a awful smell of burnt pvc, oh to be young again, after looking at the picture again the Lubovich dude looks like he might be getting ready to kick ass and take names!!! u think
	A little of everything	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	A little of everything I'd seen it in a short review article in a magazine (Metropolis, I think it was). That article had talked mostly of the design appearance. I thought at the time, that it looked good and I wouldn't mind it sitting out in a corner somewhere. Then I saw it at Target. I couldn't turn it on but I took it all out of the box and checked it out. Next I started this thread and got James' good review. So I bought the thing and tried it out. Since I'd been very disappointed in these types of units in the past, I tested it's strength on aquarium gravel and was pretty impressed. And it was only $40USD, so there you have it.
	Book, yeah right...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Book, yeah right... Title: "How avoid doing everything I've 'effed' up in my house". But ya know something; that little sparkly hopper/sprayer thing can create some really interesting effects. I saw it used on a glazed wall that had a venetian plaster-like base. Final effect was gloriously sensual. It was unevenly reflective, glowing more so in the crevices of the plaster. It was really excellent. I was in a restaurant somewhere in New Orleans and I actually had to ask the maitre'd about it, luckily he knew or I'd have gone nuts trying to figure out how it was done. Can't remember the meal, but sure do remember the wall!
