| The string really does look o... The string really does look original. It's threaded down through the holes. I find it to be interesting. I really like the table and bought if from some college student. It has some weird small plastic thing JB welded to the bottom of it too (that is not original...lol) and, I have not idea what it is for. I have a feeling he pulled it from his parents basement or maybe from a trash can on campus after the original student who pulled it from his parents basement tossed it out. Lots of scratches on top and a couple of cigarette burns. | |||||
| I don't know about density, but | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I don't know about density, but foamsource.com and foamorder.com both carry many densities and will cut to exact dimensions. I've dealt with both and prefer foamsource.com (the other one screwed up the one thing I ordered from them once--could have been a fluke but why go back when the other one suffices?) Generally, the thinner the cushion, the more dense it should be. Generally. And seat foam should be more dense than back foam because most of your weight is on the seat. That probably seems very obvious but you wouldn't believe how many times manufacturers and re-upholsterers get it wrong. http://foamsource.com | |||||

| I didn't mean to spawn... I didn't mean to spawn serious talk here. Are you sure it's 30 percent of women....or is it 30 percent of murdered females are by inimate lovers instead of 30s percent of all women.... Rugs are a hard thing to decide on. They are massive enough to either make a room or it's just as easy to tire of a rug as soon as you get it. I tend toward neutral on rugs, unless it is a very well thought out solid color. I also like oriental rugs with modern furniture. I don't like grass rugs.....too itchy for my bum and toes. | |||||
| Flange, yes. | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | muehlebach | General discussion | |
| Flange, yes. I just had taken mine apart to clean. I wish I had taken pictures while it was apart. I'll take it apart for you soon. I remember there being an L bracket or block or something welded to the housing. It was there to keep the bolt from turning. The bolt has a square head on one end and the knob at the other. My chair went all the way to the ground before I took it apart and cleaned it. The threads on mine had light rust that kept the knob from turning. Mine also has a bolt in the back that you can adjust to keep it from going back too far. PS- I posted my chair on the "Last Thing You Acquired #26" | |||||
| Here you go | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Here you go I haven't tried this myself but I think one of the regulars on this forum did and improved the look of his chairs. This particular product isn't widely available in the US (if that's where you are) but I'm pretty sure you can just grate a bar of Ivory soap to get the same thing. Soap flakes in water are used a lot in Denmark to clean pine floors. Paper is the same material as wood so it makes sense that it would work on paper cord seats, too. I would try it but my paper cord seats aren't dirty (yet). http://www.soap-flakes.com/recipes.html | |||||

| Disregard the first one | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Disregard the first one What?! Olive, I am sorry you feel that way. Maybe you do not look into buildings the way I do..Just because a building, house, park or other typology not in Architectural Record Does not mean it is not good architecture. I doubt you think that way..but many get caught up in that "Magazine Factor" as I like to call it..especially those in my major. Most of them think architecture here in Vegas is crap. I disagree for the most part. I mean, Yeah Vegas is no LA or Chicago by any means, its still a young city. I could look at some few gas stations, shopping plazas, in town where I think they serve a great vernaculars to the public.. Every building has its purpose and if it is open to the public they will ultimately determine its purpose. Do not misunderstand me by this. I do not mean that people go into a bank want it to be a retail store and come out with clothes..thats not what I mean. (By the way this is not for all situations. There are many factors that play into rural/urban development.) I mean that if the bank, cafe, shop, restaurant are not designed the right way the public the allow it to remain there. (Yes there is a demand for these things.) But Certain Types of Public will be attracted to it. For: example Theres a part of town here that has a detention center with multiple Bail Bonds offices. What kind of public does attract? One could only imagine. Does that mean that those typologies are bad examples of architecture? To me, No not necessarily. TO me, Great architecture does not come down to aesthetics, emotion, and personal content alone (yet they do have to be involved. Something could be ugly and function very well.Does that make it great architecture, no not really, but you can not rule it out. Remember Duchamp? (well my thoughts towards art are completely opposite of architecture. I could not imagine a place where you live, would not have good or great architecture in your area... Yes architecture does involve politics a lot, but it involves the public influence JUST AS MUCH. Throw in your city airport for example and think about all the issues that addresses the public influence.. The catch it is, Architects try to read minds so to speak, how well they do that is also an essential part to great architecture Koen, "This being said, I still think that there is a larger difference in the fact that there is no public influence on architecture" That is not true. At all. OR Maybe I am misunderstanding you. Its one thing to mispell and its another thing to miss key words in sentences, sorry for the mistakes . | |||||
| Personally, I just love green | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Personally, I just love green I enjoy nearly all shades of green except for the forest green kelly green varieties. My 'avocado' is more like the real fruit rather than the design color which is more like the shell of the thing. I like soft greyed yellow-y greens. And the vibrate life affirming lemon green of new leaves in spring. And the deep quiet cool greens of mossy woods and still ponds. Green is so alive. No retro, no fashion trendiness, I don't really care what's 'in'. I just love green. | |||||

| All I'm asking for here is a pilot program... | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| All I'm asking for here is a pilot program... Just for a group of designers to get together, to find one or two willing donors to the cause (there have to be some foundations and individuals who would be willing to give $5-10 million to such a project) and to approach a progressive Alzheimer's facility around Silicon Valley, the Research Triangle, or Westchester, or Bel Air, or somewhere, and say, hey, we'd like to work with you to develop some new form and engineering languages/ideas for your facility. We're not trying to turn your place into a designer facility (though that might not be a bad idea if it would help get this thing off the launch pad either) and we're trying to bring interior design into a fit with your Alzheimer patients. We just want to work with you to see what we can do for these persons and for our society. My god! Of course this can be done. It MUST be done. I've worked in real estate. I know developers. They are always willing to look at new wrinkles that pencil out. They just aren't willing to pretend they pencil out when they don't. Industrial designers, designers used to making things for persons to use, designers used to thinking about how persons use the things they use and designing to work better, these are the kinds of designers we need to undertake this. And, yes, we need aestheticians, too. If the ideas are butt ugly to the children of the alzheimer patients, no one will bring their parents to the place. But this is design at its purest, if you stop and think about it. How should space programs and furniture and HVAC and digital media and the outside world be "designed" for persons who cannot remember ANYTHING? This is a magnificient design problem. We have the designers. We have the problem. We need a facility. We need some patrons. It always seems impossible at the beginning. I remember persons saying that regional malls were hopeless; that they would never be more than gargantuan reinforced concrete pillboxes. But look at them now; the accrued change in them is enormous. And remember, when J.C. Nichols built one of the first shopping centers called the Plaza in my home town of Kansas City, they said, "Not gonna happen!" They said the same thing about stopping nuclear reactor construction, and about human flight, and about the green movement, and ending cigarette advertising, and the Civil Rights Act, and Women's Suffrage, and the end of slavery...Not gonna happen! | |||||

| ps thought you might be inter... ps thought you might be intersted to know how I did the internal radius (sorry getting technical SDR will understand) and took off 6mm from the original glue up all the way around without using a template. I got a 1/2" flush trim bit, took the bearing off and screwed in a small brass bush, laid the lot flat on the bench and ran around with a small router, so I had a 3mm rebate on the whole thing, I took the bush off, put the bearing back on and took the rest off with the flush trim bit, changed over to a round-over and radiused all the edges, It took about 10 minutes. No doubt this is the way its normally done but it was fun working it out for myself. | |||||

| barrympls, you've got a nice ... barrympls, you've got a nice sofa, and if you change your mind about the colour I suppose you can re-colour it in a different shade. A good thing about having the established classics, like lc2, is that they have been tested by other people. I think that fat sofas are already classics, but they haven't been tested yet by many people. If they prove to be efficient in all the important functional aspects other than being cool, I think they will become established as well. They look strong; I hope they don't break or get damaged easily. | |||||
| Chair looks great Hawaii, ... | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | lake stroll | General discussion | |
| Chair looks great Hawaii, ... Chair looks great Hawaii, I'm glad to see another advocate of oil on walnut. I'd asked here about finishing and people mentioned teak oil would be ok. Then I took the chair to a couple of guys running a woodwork shop and they both told me not to oil it, and that wax would be a better option. Perhaps it's all down to personal preference. Every book I read says something different too ! I'm a complete novice at this kind of thing, but if folks here say oil is ok and I can see your results look good then I'll have a go at that. Is 'Walnut Danish oil' specially formulated for walnut or is it refering to a dye in the product ? Will have to seek some out. | |||||
