	rfid	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	rfid could you please tell us were you read this or heard about it, I have never seen anything that Sarraine had anything to do with Jack bookends Cloudburst2000 I knew that Harper did the ball clock and marshmallow sofa i actually posted that last month, do you know if he did any thing else for George Nelson? The more i read and find research Nelson let most of the Team do the design work, Mulhouser the Coconut, Cherner the Prestzel, I think these guys being not only great designers,and architects, I think they must have gotten their egos bruised as it seems that they moved on very quickly after their product came to market, Still need the origin of the Jacks
	I don't consider myself...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	HP	General discussion
	I don't consider myself... I don't consider myself ignorant and I do think I have sense of humour, if you've never made a generalisation in order to support a statement you must speak very little. The examples you gave all touch on thing that are perhaps a little incendiary for you or your country? All the more reason to discuss I would have thought. Had I said anything as banal as "Australians love sport" I doubt there would have been any reaction. I think Mussolinis short lived patronage of Terragni (sorry about the spelling) was interesting and that Tecta (?) still produce chairs originally made under the auspices of a fascist state is interesting aswell.
	RE: Sideboard ID	1 Relevance	7 years ago	mark737	Identification
	Thank you both for the replies. I found this mention from the book, THE SECRET OF IKEA, by Bertil Torekull and Ingvar Kamprad: Gillis Lundgren became the first full-time designer involuntarily ("Forming a box or chair is about the same thing"), but there were names other than those that were supposed to spread IKEA's fame Designer Bengt Ruda leads the list of four capable Danish colleagues - Preben Fabricius, Erik Worts, Arne Wahl Iversen and T. Herlev - in the picture
	RE: Lockdown Blues	1 Relevance	6 years ago	lexi	Off topic
	@herringbone. All fine here. Lockdown restrictions are being relaxed in a phased manner. Having great weather here at the moment so everyone heading to beaches, parks etc. as they can now travel further from home. One thing I will miss is the lack of traffic noise on our street. Hopefully there will not be a second wave any time soon. Your woodworking project is coming along nicely.Looks great. Still tending to the garden. Made some fabric facemasks ; the results were a bit "hit and miss" but I enjoyed the distraction. @tktoo2. Hi and hope you are feeling a bit more hopefull ?
	And reopened!	1 Relevance	12 years ago	mgee76	General discussion
	And reopened! I'd love it if anybody with any experience working on these sofas could look at this listing and tell me if it's worth devoting time to... I think I'm gonna try to buy it anyway, but it'd help to know if it's been seriously messed with. I love the way it looks, anyway, but I'm really just curious about the metal plate on the side and what I might be undertaking if I grab this for my re-upholstery learning. Am I biting off way more than I can chew? Is it possible that the previous owners simply had the entire thing altered to their tastes, or what? I don't really care if it's real Pearsall or not... I love the shape. I just wonder if I shouldn't try my hand at a chair or something before attempting a redo of this monster. Any advice would be appreciated.
	You are right about the age....	1 Relevance	21 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	You are right about the age.... You are right about the age. Designed in '81 by Vico Magistretti and produced thru late 90's. It was made in four versions -- a high-back chair and loveseat, a low-backed sofa, and an ottoman, each with removeable covers, usually a great wool with contrasting edge band. They were also available with leather covers and cotton for summer! The covers are loose, held in place by two hooks hidden in the rear of the seat. Sort of a freaky looking thing. Let me know if you have seen one for sale. Thanks for your comments. I checked with Cassina, no luck. Chairtom
	Colombo type chair ID?	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Milfredo Seven	General discussion
	Hi there, I have purchased this chair and wondered if anyone had an idea of the make or designer. Its very comfortable indeed. The only thing I can find anywhere near is the colombo which matches the rolled leather edges. Any help much appreciated Attachment: IMG_6308.JPG
	Rickbird...don't stop using eBay,	1 Relevance	18 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Rickbird...don't stop using eBay, but jusy learn to use eBay wiser. When you bid on something, check their feedback, and when you win something, hold the seller to the shipping terms they list in their auction copy. Stay on top of it and don't hesitate to contact PayPal when something goes wrong JUST AS SOON as you realize that there's something wrong. The only thing you did wrong was to wait 3 months. It doesn't happen often, but don't get caught in the time warp. Go ahead and bid on eBay items and I'm sure this kind of nightmare won't happen again.
	I agree	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	I agree The Studio is nice, so is the Linea. The Delta 2 greatly resembles the sofa I have, so of course, I like that one too. You have made a good selection on your form/styling. I still can't agree with the black, white thing though. I'm curious, do the cushions have foam, feather-down or both? I have both in mine, a foam core and a down duvet wrapping that, then the fabric. In a fabric sofa I am convinced that this is the best construction. What is offered in leather to keep the cushions 'lofted'?
	Bruno Mathsson lounge chair - webbing width & material?	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Does anyone know what the fiber content was on the original webbing on Bruno Mathsson lounge chairs like the Pernilla? Cotton? Jute? And what width was it? I have looked at a zillion pics but it's hard to tell if it's a smooth jute (hemp) or just cotton. Better yet, does anyone know where I can get the right thing? I've looked at every online webbing supplier in the world (ok, maybe not all, but an awful lot!) but without knowing the material or width for sure, it's hard to tell what to get.
	KRP, You are simply wrong to ...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Annette.sco	General discussion
	KRP, You are simply wrong to ... KRP, You are simply wrong to claim that it is somehow significant that I 'didn't acknowledge' Eileen Grays's sexuality. For a start she wasn't a lesbian but bisexual, with her most significant relationship, both professional (and arguably personal) with a man, Jean Badovici. Anyway I fail to see how her bisexuality could possibly be the most significant thing about her. Far more interesting is that someone who was born in the 1870s, was female and Irish, though she lived most of her life in France, was so very talented both in architecture and design. This is not exactly common.

	Decoration does have a... Decoration does have a function. Its function is to delight. I'm quite wary of the absolutism that some people in the design world express, whether it is in architecture or industrial design. This absolute denial of the worth of decoration is strange since human beings are subjective animals that evaluate everything according to how it looks feels and smells. And again, the shape of a thing is a decoration as well. Just look at this example - and I think you'll agree that shape can be decoration. 🙂 http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/delftuniversitylibrary/

	This is pretty obscure, but I would be curious to see the documentation on the dining armchair that shows it as model 55/4. In standard Scandinavian catalog language, insofar as that was a thing, that would translate loosely as model 55 option 4 or in context model 55 stretched to a 4 seat sofa. I'd just be curious to see documentation showing that very specific coded language meaning something else. I am curious what it would mean, in context, as 55/1 or 55/2 or 55/3, etc.

	good point... but how else was i to describe what i am trying to get at? it is either really good roadside kitch, or a woodworking craftsman with a decent sense of aesthetics working at the roadside. i would ask some thing similar if i were discussing jeff coons. is he a tremendously sophisticated post modern contrapuntalist doing riffs on kitch, or is he just a really good kitch maker masquerading as a, well, a tremendously sophisticated, etc.

	Very interesting; if you... Very interesting; if you never showed us the actual images of the whole chair, I probably would have guessed the panels didn't come from a matching set due to the different numbers. I have a 670/671 from the same period and the markings on all the panels match. I don't know if it's crayon or chalk though. Another interesting observation on my old chair (maybe on other old ones too) is that the shape of the seat panel where the shock mount is placed is narrower than the newer chairs; also, same thing about the "wing" part of the lower back panel. Anyway, good luck with your sale!!!
