| and more check hivemodern.com for other suggestions. choose furniture, then bedroom, then bedside table. i will stop putting all of them in a link, for fear of creating a lot of spiced ham (aka SPAM or unwanted stuff that you can not avoid, as the Monty Pythons so eloquently explained in their flying circus) :oD Generally, it is a bit though to anwer your question, as you do not tell us what sort of thing you like: do prefer a low table, do you need lots of storage or only one small drawer for your cell phone, do you like minimal, tend to go for wood or not, etc. however, i hope you find something you like (and tell us about it when you have found it ...) ;o) Good luck to you on your search ! ite | |||||
| Thank you everyone for your... | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Patroni | General discussion | |
| Thank you everyone for your... Thank you everyone for your constructive feedback. Looking at this as "sculptures" I find misleading, since what we do is hand shaping reliefs for a special effect. And one can´t really compare a Poulsen artichoke with a wall or shield lamp like this. Its truely hard to find a category for this, but not sure if it needs one ?! At the end of the day these lamps so far find their fans in people, who look for that specific athmoshere, that we are shaping. It seems for some the outline and set up (shield/sconce) is more in the foreground than the concept of the reliefs. The relief is supposed to be the dominant thing and the sconce just a round up... | |||||
| Lunchbox | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| Lunchbox You need to get out more. You write off stuff as an attempt to be "over the top" but that is just the mainstream now. You are just out of touch. If you saw more stuff, you would realize that the stuff that makes it to the biggest venues is not EVEN "over the top" but just part of the mainstream of NOW. Not then. And those artists doing those attempts to be "over the top" often have a long and consistent track record. But then you wouldn't know because you have already thrown a blanket over it all, and then you go about attacking the blanket that you just threw over it. Very tidy way to write off something that you dont understand. I deal with this all the time. Its a matter of lack of exposure. I dont get the "rationalizing YOU" thing... can you explain yourself a bit on that? | |||||
| Big Television Man | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | LRF | General discussion | |
| Big Television Man yes that is the Harvey Probber sofa that came out of a youth lounge at a old Christian Church , turned out really great. the fabric is by S.Harris/Fabricut, to say the least that was one of my great finds, along with the Eames Lafonda table, and this new Eames plywood table, That is the fun thing I am always on the look out for great stuff, I had to move a wonderful Florance Knoll table with marble top, and a Charles Hollis Jones lucite table out of the room cause it was getting too many tables in the room, and we all know how bad that can look! no one likes clutter, well maybe someone might. | |||||
| searching for , now pic included | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | bj | General discussion | |
| edit: I made a schematic drawing of the thing, maybe this helps. The table top is a fake marble, like polyester with a vinyl or something, I don't know exactly. Yesterday I came by a round coffeetable, the top was made of what seemed to be a raisin and finished with a faux marble-look. The base was a black coated steel, consisting of one central foot supported by two slices of metal, forming a sort of distorted H (with the central foot as connector). I know I've seen this before, but I can't work out who did this... I live in Belgium (if this helps narrowing it down). | |||||
| Thrift Store finds,anyone? | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Tulipman | General discussion | |
| Well,the Wassily chair I saw at the thrift saw was indeed the real thing,complete with Knoll sticker,etc.AND-they had one other in the back with a failed seat strap.Frame-excellent all around on both-not a bit of rust,etc.I paid $100.for the pair! I can get a seat for $295.,or I may attempt re-sewing,as the stitching was the only part that failed.(If I get a big upholstery needle and the correct thread,I may take my time and give it a go.)Anyhow,this makes me wonder if anybody else has come across any thrift store gems lately.I have found lots of cool art,etc.but never a major piece like the Wassily chair. | |||||
| Being hated | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | MadHaus | General discussion | |
| Being hated The only time ill let being hated be a good thing. (: thanks guys This should be some more motivation to really search CL when you got some time to do it... also heres a good secret: downloading the newest safari browser and using this tool I discovered called,Craigslist Image Prefecture . What this does is shows the CL image before you click on it, so you can scroll through hundreds of pics and find the gems! try it out, it really helps, I have found many finds titled cool chair, funky, even ugly that have been some of the best finds yet and would have never clicked on them without seeing that pic. | |||||
| No Problem ** | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | LRF | General discussion | |
| No Problem ** *** BTW, this comment was in no way meant to detract from your services*** No problem we want to know what the competition is chargeing so we can compete, It is Hard to compete with Herman Miller as there workman ship is always great!!! I am sure Alfi Hume likes to think his is too, I known my workmanship is good but from what my customers tell me it takes any where from 4 to 6 months and every thing Hermnan Miller does is very expensive, Thanks for letting me know that they are redoing the chairs cause i did know they would re fix a back panel , but never a whole chair, As far as recovering I am sure any good monkey can recover the chair. just kidding on that one , | |||||
| Um... | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Um... What makes it different is that its not from Herman Miller. The long and the short is that Herman Miller (and Vitra in Europe) is the only company making chairs licensed by, and from the designs of Charles Eames. And that may not seem like a big deal, until, for example, you go to White Furniture and their 'plywood lounge chair' looks completely different than the actual licensed version. If you're okay with that - buy a knock off. If you like the Eames designs then save your spare change and pony up for the real thing. I know it's expensive, but its the design you really want or else people wouldnt be knocking it off. | |||||
| Lack of space | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | DavidDC | General discussion | |
| Lack of space My partner complains about my chair fetish. I especially cannot resist good deals or free finds on a knoll or herman miller piece. But, I've pretty much run out of space in my living room and den. This is a good thing - collecting modern furniture isn't exactly an inexpensive hobby. Right now, I've turned my attention to finding mid-century occasional tables. I'm on the lookout for a very sculptural, beautiful, round (has to be round) danish modern piece. | |||||
| sideways thinking | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Creative Gibbon | General discussion | |
| sideways thinking Its nice to see a lot of thinking about design in a way that once again allows designers to influence not only thier taget market but activley create a new trend in product styling, which of course would be the consequence of recycdesign culture. The only thing is the barriers that are placed on making this a reality in mass produced product for the everyman. If the culture takes of then maybe the market demmand may make recycling technoligy a more attractive for all. Overall i like it designed obselecence with a concience, marketing savvy with no slap in the face from environmentalists. | |||||
| Worth a shot | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | AC04 | General discussion | |
| Worth a shot Give Fears and Kahn a try. There stuff is always a cut above the rest condition wise and is accurately and honestly described, the website is updated constantly and most of the stuff is priced. Best thing about them is that they are really friendly and will keep an eye open for certain pieces for you. They will gladly deal with individuals who are perhaps only looking for a single item, unlike alot of dealers who refuse to deal with people looking for a single chiar and who certainly don't reply to E-mails! I've bought a few pieces from them have been really pleased with the goods and the service. http://www.fearsandkahn.co.uk | |||||
| Thanks for that Leif - boom - | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | DCNZ | Identification | |
| Thanks for that Leif - boom - I guess the chairs are also Nanna Ditzel. That is correct Oak underneath the top, sandwiched Teak clashing with a Teak veneer on top. The table top has the female thread which is itself threaded into the table, the legs would have been turned and the end made flat and perpendicular in the lathe Next thing I need to decide on is should I be honest to the design and re-weave in Cane as in original, or do it in Danish cord which I've done before, or initially I thought of upholstering with a very thin layer of leather but I've gone off that thanks to your designer input. Very happy with your comments Cheers Dave | |||||
| An interesting | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| An interesting question. On reflection, I think this offers the opportunity to exercise one's native taste and one's experience as an observer and a collector. Choosing the "right" knockoff, and rejecting the others, would involve testing one's own talents. I'm sure there are a couple or three Barcs (that's what I call wanna-be Barcelona Chairs) out there which are worthy of taking the place of an original. And the idea of alternate finishes -- rusty steel and tweed, as opposed to stainless and leather -- doesn't sound like a bad idea either, and incidentally a nice way to acknowledge the "alternate reality" of the thing . . . ? | |||||
| Oh, | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Oh, you mentioned Aalto -- sorry. (How about Saarinen's chapel at MIT, just down-river from Baker?) The thing about Richardson is -- they're like dinosaurs, aren't they? Magnificent and extinct. It's as if the city were a zoo, and you passed lions and hyenas and zebras and suddenly, here's a Tyrannosaurus, sharing the sidewalk with all the commoner sorts of animals. It's only been a hundred and twenty-five years, and nothing like them will ever be built by man on this earth, ever again. And, they couldn't be more different from the steel-and-aluminum-and-glass towers of the past forty years. They don't pretend to be light and airy; they don't pretend to be anything they're not. They possess authority. They are the truth. They are Architecture. SDR | |||||
