	Heard back from the previous... Heard back from the previous owner. He said a cat accident happened a few months ago and he thought he'd cleaned it up well enough. Now that I think of it, the "burned" mark on the leather on the lower back cushion may not be related to the accident because if that was the reason, it should have also left a similar mark on the seat cushion, but it didn't. The thing is they had bought it used as well, so there may be things that I'll never find out. But for now, at least I know it's not human pee........ Wish me luck.....

	i saw a lafonda table, s... i saw a lafonda table, small with the lafonda base and a slate top today at a store, I told the owner that i thought that Charles Eames actually designed the base with the assistance of Girard , does any one know if this is really true? cause everyone knows that he had the contract with the Lafonda resturant to due, every thing from soup to nuts, but His style of furniture does not reflect that base at all. that why i think it was a Eames project, with Girard as a collaborator.

	Ernest--it seems like kind of a fine line there. Yes, sometimes a design discussion includes some talk about the market value of a piece but that's really a separate issue from all of the design aspects---who designed it, who produced it, when it was made, the materials used, the appearance, the functionality, etc. Also, it kind of depends on whether it's someone who's got his heart set on getting a particular piece, who wants to know what he might expect to pay for it, vs. someone who inherited a piece or lucked into something, and wants to know what it's worth in case (!) he decides to sell it. The main thing is to keep the focus on design, per the direction of the original owners of the site. I don't think that has changed.
	Threadbare Oriental rugs demo...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	Threadbare Oriental rugs demo... Threadbare Oriental rugs demonstrate high class value... Intrinsic quality shines through normal wear. And sometimes a well worn thing is in fact well worn BECAUSE of its high degree of intrinsic quality, that is, because it is an effective pleasure to use, and therefore shows evidence of being used..

	Wel, one can rule out certain possibilities to come to the correct one, no? I don't won't to play a smartass but both producers mostly made metal based furniture. The curve of the backrest was likely an inspirational form this time of period. So it seems they jumped on that train, too. Even Hans Olsen did something similar in his shell-chairs. I'm struck by the fact this specific design was so popular and broadly produced, but not a thing is known of its origin. I walked by a shop (electronics, audio, ...) and there were 8 of these, renemnants of the original interior, way back. Couldn't get any info.. Your input though, Arthur, is greatly appreciated.

	The Eames Lounge was posted... The Eames Lounge was posted on craigslist but for much more. I happend to be first to respond. His friends were listing it for him, and then sent me to his place. He gave most of his collection to his kids. But he still had some pieces around. The Eames Lounge didn't look pretty when I first saw it. The cushions look like someone took a shotgun to them. The good thing is that there isn't any edgewear or chips to the wood. The patina is VERY heavy. I'll probably just leave the chair alone though and pick up some used cushion off ebay. I plan to just keep the chair and share the story through the years...

	My friend is a dealer. He ordered a shipment of stuff from Eastern Europe for his shop... kind of a big investment in an attempt to have something a little unusual. I helped him unpack it at the warehouse. Some of the stuff was nice, but most of it arrived damaged and he regrets the whole thing. Beyond finding any person or people to supply your pieces, reliable shipping is going to be your biggest obstacle. If you can get that in place, you should be able to eventually line up a number of suppliers, but I don't know how regularly you'll be able to re-up and you'll have almost no control over the quality. Your prices will have to be rather high. Feel free to email me at gmalegmayel@gmail.com.
	energy saving light bulbs	1 Relevance	19 years ago	HP	General discussion
	The house I live in atm and share with a photographer is owned by an environmental science academic, its full of these energy saving flourescent globes. Overall its a good thing I'm sure but I've found that they are too large or heavy for anglepoise lamps and give off a really ugly light and are difficult to read or photograph in, seeing as we won't be able to get the old incandescents for much longer I've stashed a few away for the years to come. I was looking through the Saarinen table lamp thread and wondrered if any designers are trying to work with them. Whats available in Europe or the US? http://www.greenhouse.gov.au/energy/cfls/index.html
	really?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	rockland	General discussion
	really? I wouldn't change a thing. Nor would i feel comfortable suggesting. I don't have time to visit much with a busy work load but it is a pleasure to stop by once or twice a week. We have often given large parties. When an uninvited guest, a friend of a friend, complained that we had run out of ice, i showed him the door. A proper response would have been to offer a trip to the corner store for more...or even better, just go get it without boasting of the chore. I'm active on another site daily. We rarely have complainers but it is usually someone that has not gently sat back and searched or listened for a while. Usually bursting in with something similar to road rage. ; ) Relax.
	Forum	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Arthur Sixpence	General discussion
	Forum Not to add fuel to the fire or keep the argument going but I use the forum alot for reference and read alot of the old posts some going back a good few years, the one thing that is consistent is the agressive responses to posts and the occasional rude response. It really is nothing new and new posters cant be held responsible as older posters are just as much involved. The only problem I have is that there are a few posters who seem to think they can decided which post is worthy and which they will make fun of and try to ruin. That being said there is no need for rudness and a short and informative message is enough if anyone thinks someone is doing wrong.
	DA	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	DA DesignAddict I find many others: Notcot, ApartmentTherapy, Design*Sponge to be very breezy and lacking in depth. Always throw pillows or Etsy finds or some clever little useless thing. ApartmentTherapy in particular is sinking like a rock in a pond, which is a shame because they used to be very good. Now just overbloated with advertisements, stale recycled postings, and Z E R O depth to the postings. Also - the comments sections on ApartmentTherapy are full of nasty, snarky, bitchy, wanna-be design queens. (and that's coming from ME)

	I have to say that after... I have to say that after some days I am so happy with my purchase. Function is a truly great thing. I should have had a comfy desk chair long ago. It's a real lesson in function vs. aesthetics for me. While there are a few better looking options in my mind, this chair is rather nice after being cleaned up and the wonderful function of comfort makes me love it even more, even aesthetically. Perhaps because I associate it's aesthetics with satisfaction? The leather doesn't hurt either, as I am a big fan of it ... it ages gracefully. And Knoll has high quality leather at that. If something isn't working for you, even if it is beautiful, I urge you to rid yourself of it.

	i appologize I am so sorry i misinformed on you great readers on this international forum I misquoted the dog leash and if you want to be a good reporter you must at least have your facts correct the corrected should read English Accent Antiques Terra Cotta Dog Head Leash Holder H. 11 in., W. 8 1/4 Price: $4,750 I was $500.00 off on my last quote, This seems like only a idiot would buy this, I personally want to meet the fool who buys this , I sure hope it is not Ralph Lauren cause it would destroy every thing that i feel for him. I think he is great and the coolest so i hope he will not buy the English dog leash.
	They're all	1 Relevance	13 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	They're all from the same person, who apparently had one bad Ebay deal with a San Francisco-based silver dealer a year ago and then decided to launch this online vendetta against her. The person isn't just posting here; there are similar outbursts all over the web. And the complaint site he refers to has a policy of (almost) never removing anything posted, so if you search there for the dealer's name, you can see all the posts he's made -- one every couple days for the last year -- along with the dealer's patient rebuttals.. I don't know whether it's just the all-caps thing, but the thread there is sorta disturbing. You definitely feel that you're reading the mad scribblings of a lunatic.
