	If I was in your shoes, I'd be rightly outraged	1 Relevance	17 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	If I was in your shoes, I'd be rightly outraged not at the price, but at those stupid, unprofessional movers. Make 'em pay big time for the damage and the hassle they put you through. It's becoming apparent how much we in the USA take for granted, as regards movers and prices of reupholstery. Probably the best thing to do is to collect the full value of the damages and select which pieces really mean enough to you to get repaired. then get those few pieces fixed and chuck the ones that are not worth the repair price. Your sanity and peace of mind is worth more than any of those pieces, so try to keep a prospective on the whole situation, however hard that may be.
	My 5 cents...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	koen	General discussion
	My 5 cents... There is no question about it this is part of the famous lower case! An important part, and clearly part of the designer's concept is the small horizontal crossbar close to the top. Without it it could easely be taken for a lower case l, at least in some fonts. As far as I am concerned this is the real thing. Congratulations! You could actually use it, for instance to finish a word like designaddict. Every well spelled collection has one in it, so that's a nice start. If you want to collect seriously,make sure you acquire a few capital T's. It's a nice contrast
	The price is good	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	The price is good The price is good and all things look right - the base is a Vitra base. My guess is that this may have been a special order, or someone polished the base aftermarket. Either way, it looks original. The clips inside the shells look good, the armrests are welted properly, and the labelling appears correct. The only thing thats a little odd is the black square under the spider mount on the base. But that could be something the owner is putting there to prevent scratching? If this were in my neck of the woods I'd jump on it!
	Repro issue aside...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	Repro issue aside... Patrick+Alix, how would you feel if one of your sponsors tells you you shouldn't be doing business with another sponsor (who happens to be very good sponsor). What if you received this same letter? An awkward position, yes? You want to do the right thing, but that sponsor generates revenue that helps you make a great website/magazine. If you prefer not to comment (like Dwell), I totally understand. I wonder if Dwell was singled out, or if other magazines received the same letter as part of some new initiative.
	not necessarily vitra	1 Relevance	19 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	not necessarily vitra icf in italy has been making these (with icf & herman miller on the labels) almost from the beginning of the chairs existance. in fact i saw an icf/herman miller one sell on ebay just a few months ago. also white on white. more recently (in the last 15 years or so) vitra sued icf for the naming rights and won. the icf's havent changed except for dropping the H. M. name. there was a british company that did the same thing as icf (the name escapes me at the moment).the details on the white one you posted are identical to my labeled icf one.
	gustavo good question	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	gustavo good question We have gone round and round with the Chinese on this forum. and if you have a good understanding of their language, Why would you not want to deal with them? I checked into the products made in Argentina and have a local number and visted with a lovely American girl in Argentina, Their big thing is the leather and they are very proud of it in Argentina , I looked at your web site and it seems that your Barcelona's are high at around 1250. While the Alphaville comes in around 600.00 with very nice leather why should they be double? They are both considered to be repoductions ,
	tinyarmada'a response was...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	gene	General discussion
	tinyarmada'a response was... tinyarmada'a response was way out of line...but "Buying a fake, means you're fake"? Right after tinyarmada writes that s/he has a fake? That's really rude, and a provocation. (And I write that as someone who'd never buy a fake. In fact, I'd never buy an "authorized" new production, which to me is pretty much the same thing as a fake. But I appreciate that not everybody feels the same way and I wouldn't call anyone else a "fake" because they might buy a fake, authorized or not).
	no, please, pedant away	1 Relevance	9 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	no, please, pedant away You are correct. I think it's a regionalism thing. in Chicago you always called everything "cement". "OOOH, fresh cement! Lets ride our bikes through it!" Like that. It's something I've never shaken. And I've poured truckloads of Concrete/cement in my day. I spent a good bit of time trying to at least find something similar w/o much luck. And yes, I tried it using BOTH Cement and Concrete as search terms. I rather like it right where it currently resides, inside on that sort of shelf. That wood would not survive outside methinks. I still think your proposal of it being a church font is a good one.
	Hovmand Olsen copies?	1 Relevance	14 years ago	249Plank	General discussion
	Hi I recently purchased a stunning table and four chairs with paper cord seats and I'm now curious to know if I have the real thing or just a very good copy. After pouring through several images I came across Hovmand Olsen and they seem to match?except for one detail on the chairs. The backrest edges are slightly curved whereas all the photographs I have seen have had or appear to have straight angular edges. There are no visible makers marks and the paper cord appears to have been replaced (very well!). Any information or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
	My Wasily's are paired with...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	My Wasily's are paired with... A drum table in natural steel. My Womb chair is paired with an antique Native American chile mortar. I inverted it and it now looks very much like a Eames stool. However, it cost me $25USD and has a patina that the Eames pices can't possibly contribute. I think that kind of side table would also work well with a Wasily. To my eye the thing to avoid is too many legs. With all the tubular chrome it'll look too busy. A solid form is a better choice.
	Live Chat,	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Sound & Design	General discussion
	Live Chat, You should be able to get more immediate response with "live chat". There's a link tucked away somewhere. A bizzare circumstance...almost mob like. Another thing to watch out for is relisting fee credit. If you relist an unsold item and it sells, eBay drops the relisting fee. Must use the link they provide, which I did. When I reviewed my invoice, they didn't do their end. Be hawk eyed! Even more...Just learned our beloved IRS is now requiring photos of dontations made to charities (furniture, clothes etc). Plus the deduction is down from 20% to 10%. Anyone confirm this?
	barry	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	barry true but if you have ever seen a lot of the burke stuff for some reason to me it looks like crap there saarine knock off chair with that big feet on the base looks like crap, and there sarrine tulip table used cheap paint that always flakes although it did look fairly decent . The only thing that they did do right was the the little tulip side table a good knock off for the day and they used a lamanant that bolted on instead of screwed amazing they lasted as long as they did To my knowledge the only company they knocked off was knoll and Herman miller
	sentimental value	1 Relevance	22 years ago	mandy	General discussion
	sentimental value thank you for your comments they are certainly helpful in gaining the view of a wider audience. The thing that i continue t question is whther pieces of jewellery (or other product) produced using found objects will ever be sentimentally valued by thier owner as comercial jewellery? For instance, it is a common tradition to pass valued jewellery down through the generations of a family, but would you ever consider doing the same with object jewellery? Would these pieces even be kept long enough for them to be passed down or would they be discarded once that style craze was over?
	Bet You've Never Seen A Chair Like This Before!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Bet You've Never Seen A Chair Like This Before! That was the header of a Craigslist posting. Being curious I clicked on it. And lo and behold I HAD seen a chair like it before. On Architonic. It was an Ox Chair. No, not a Wegner Ox chair, which sells for a paltry $5-10k in the used market. It was a JACOBSEN Ox chair, with a swivel base, in perfect leather, for $1500. The Architonic piece was estimated at auction for $30,000-$50,000. I emailed the guy casually stating my preference for 'that wacky 50's stuff'. He never replied. sigh That's the bad thing about Craigslist - other people have the same chance of getting things as you do!
	How do I glue something to marble?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	I promised someone I'd attach a cushioning-material to the underside of a heavy marble sculpture (300lbs or so), so it doesn't ruin her wood floor should she need to move it a few inches. Felt seems too insubstantial for such a heavy thing, so I was thinking I'd use a FLOR carpet tile, cut to size. How to affix? Contact cement? Obviously, I don't want to use anything too permanent, and I don't want to apply anything that would harm the sculpture. (Sorry for this tedious technical question, but online sculpture-related forums don't get much traffic, and I need a response this year.)
