| that was the chair thank... that was the chair thanks for letting me know the guy i was going to buy it from was suppose to deliver it to me for 30 bucks but he was dishonest and he listed it on ebay I won't loose any sleep over it I personally thing it was a old piece of junk worth what one of the boys told me he wanted for it, his partner got mad at him and told me to F^%$ off and listed it for 99.00 I Think one of the boys is bad cause the other one sold me a Paul Evans city scape lamp made by laural for 40 bucks and i think he found out it was worth more like around a 1000. like i say what goes around comes around | |||||
| Seeking recommendations: Swivel chair | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| The hubs and I seem to have found our new house out here in NM. Sorry no pictures yet, but one thing we can see from the layout is that it would be nice for him to have a chair that is a comfortable lounger. It'll be for TV watching, staring at the fireplace and meditating on the lovely view. So a swivel chair seems to be in order. Jakobsen's Egg and Swan chairs seem likely candidates, but I'd love some other ideas...I don't need to have a mid-cent piece, but definitely want something minimal. The hubs is about 6ft tall, average build and weight. He needs lower back support (using a pillow is OK) and he'll want to be able to put his feet up...ottoman need not match, but chair angle should accommodate the use of one. Anyone? | |||||

| -------+++++++ Try running your hand above the drawer (against the dust-cover) to make sure it's not just a drawer-stop (thing that keeps the drawer from falling on your feet) in your way. This is often just a rectangular piece of plastic that turns on a nail. Or maybe it just needs a good working, applying constant but varying pressure with thumbs to the edge of the case as you wriggle it out of there "Kenlin" is the major brand for this sort of hardware if you need to purchase a replacement after you force it free (It may really take some force if you're on the rail but lined up wrong(?)). Try not to kick it into splinters out of frustration... | |||||
| you need to | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Danish-homestore.com | General discussion | |
| you need to find the bearing structure of the studd wall and screw into them if possible. Alternative would be to get some very strong fixtures in metal rather than plastic. Speak to your local hardware store or handyman for tips as the last thing you want is to be woken by the sytem pulling out opf the wall. that said they are designed to carry excellent weight. When CADO was first installed (1964-65) in Heal's London the team from denmark who installed it asked the staff to watch and when completely installed a Danish joiner climbed up the shelves!! | |||||
| Not a fan of the Pantone hone... | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Not a fan of the Pantone hone... Not a fan of the Pantone honeybismol color of the year. I was going to say, maybe it's partly a gender issue, but that's a pretty large generality, so nix that. Enjoyed reading about color with respect to geography, which makes sense. One could probably make some geographical distinctions in the US with regard to that, or ask some interesting questions. Midwest: primary or pastel? That kind of thing, you know. Or southwest architecture, for example, I think, certainly seems to depend upon specific kinds of colors. And I wonder sometimes if the Pawson interiors might benefit from a small splash of pink, not for the color though. | |||||
| couture | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | deacon | General discussion | |
| couture "... couture... doesn't need to be particularly well made, it is as it is intended to be soon replaced" i disagree. for example, the workmanship in a Dior dress is out-of -this-world. a couture dress easily takes 3 months to make. now, are they made tough like a pair of jeans? no, because that dress would only be worn once, if at all. do they replace that dress like an old polo shirt? no, because the less than 300 of so couture customers are all collectors. however, couture is a dying thing of the past. i guess the question is: are all this "hi-end" "designers" furnitures heading down the same path? | |||||
| Vase ID | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | HowardMoon | General discussion | |
| Glasswear isn't really my thing but I met a lovely couple today to buy some furniture and the lady threw in this vase as part of the deal. She said that she purchased it at Libertys London in 1962. No markings on the base. Lovely cream colour which slowly builds to a green hue around the base. | |||||
| Steep roofs are good with | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Steep roofs are good with heavy snowfalls, but all those valleys--they'd better be well flashed! I like the arches in the brickwork. The wooden grids, not so much--they look a bit fussy and too reminiscent of IHQ's teak trivets. I really do not like the pod thing around that spiral staircase, which I suspect would look way more beautiful exposed. On the other hand, the awful wide angle photography probably isn't flattering it much. I think the wide angle lens is distorting some other views in a bad way, too. I really don't care for the roofline on the exterior shots but from inside it's kind of nice, though I'd like to see some pics taken with a regular lens. | |||||

| so...am i to assume... that the aesthetic (viewed from almost a century later) is the most important thing about a piece, never mind it's historical context or what the designer was trying to achieve. This table comes from, and was designed specifically for, a building which is a Unesco World Heritage Site and "an outstanding expression of human creative genius in its purity of ideas and concepts as developed by the De Stijl movement" (quote from the Unesco Committee who gave the house the Heritage Site status). Just a thought... Cheers, Paul. | |||||

| SDR: yes I have taken the cup | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | Repair | |
| SDR: yes I have taken the cup out of a solid teak table top. It is solid wood so it may well have moved again, but I doubt it was back to cupped just because. There is cause and effect at work here even if it is hard to see. It is like medicine; it is all about the dosage and knowing what does what. There is another case of a pair of solid teak leaves for a table. I accidentally stored them on top of each other with no air space between. They cupped away from each other after a few weeks. I was very concerned at first but they flattened right back out and stayed that way. I didn't have to do anything. My lathe rotates so I don't need to worry about swing for this sort of thing. | |||||

| yes, that chandelier bubble... yes, that chandelier bubble lamp is unusually large At 1:30, you can see a video of Nelson gesturing in the background. Then you see him reach under the table and produce what appears to be a club/mace? Peace keeper in the Nelson office? Nice simple video. Still surprised that the exhibit wasn't arranged and presented here in the US. Glad Vitra is doing it. Another thing... has the exhibit given Nelson a broad stroke, or have others been given credit? | |||||

True thing is that clients do not want to pay 5000 euros on eBay, that's the point. This same desk by WRIGHT's Chicago would certainly reach at least 30 000 dollars. http://cgi.ebay.fr/BUREAU-BOOMERANG-MAURICE-CALKA-BOOMERANG-DESK_W0QQite... | |||||
| toss-up between two | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| toss-up between two I would like either eight rosewood NO Møller dining chairs to go with my rosewood table and buffet, OR an Eames lounge chair & ottoman. I have nice rosewood chairs but they are not as well-designed as the Møller ones and tend to get wobbly. As for the lounge chair, I am now about to reupholster my second Selig/Plycraft knockoff and would just like the real thing someday. ps- don't give up hope, I've gotten a bunch of Kay Bojesen monkeys, elephants and soldiers at auction for just a few bucks each! They're out there... | |||||
| Envelope | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Envelope I've got the envelope color thing going on in most of my space. Floor, wall, and ceiling are all tonally similar. It's great and especially good in a bigbig room. But, that said, I also really like the look of a dark-tone grounded floor. This, of course, depends on available light and the over all size/shape of the room. A dark floor with high ceilings that are pale can make a space feel cavernous. Grey and yellow toned woods is one of my fav combos, though. | |||||
