| I agree -- | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| I agree -- In my experience, marble table tops are never permanently affixed, they just sit upon the base. But, most table bases are more substantial than a tulip base. Seems the thing to do would be to attach a metal plate (slightly smaller than your marble top) to the base, to balance the heavy marble. How you're going to do this, I can't say, without seeing the base you choose. (Offhand, I think some welding might be involved. Even then, I foresee problems in making the metal plate flush with the top of the tulip base...) | |||||

| . oh no, I agree with you and understand what is meant by 'read' in visual art terms. I don't find it attractive either and if it is part of the kmart clothing deal think its even more poorly concieved. The thing is we don't know what 'thre3' is meant to represent so its all pretty moot. But not being a graphic designer don't know how it could have been re-worked into something more pleasing. The idea of '3-ness' could be presented in so many different ways without resorting to a simple literal reliance on font. I know thats not what the original poster had in mind but to paraphrase someone the good designer gives the client not what they think they want but what they never even dreamed of.

| As I Said | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Robert Leach | General discussion | |
| As I Said Way back, I'd be surprised if the upholstery wasn't Collins & Hayes..but other people did this Deco/ Biba inspired cut moquette fabric, including Ringo Starr and Robin Cruikshank as Paulanna said....... This sofa dates from between 1972 and 1975.. (I'd bet money on it, and I'm not a gambling man) Incidentally, Landon in the US started in 1977 It's rare for a large amount of this type of retro fabric to become available to the market- usually it's just an offcut of a metre or two- not the large metreage a sofa like that would need (13-15m?) It's worth keeping an eye on ebay of course, but I really very much doubt any manufacturer would still have stock of such a thing. | |||||
| Mc.Donalds | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Mc.Donalds As I had understood it, Mc.Donalds was trying to reinvent their image as a high(er) scale dining experience. To me this seems as effective as the time they tried to reinvent themselves as 'healthy' by offering salads. Personally I'm glad Fritz pulled out of the deal when the clown went fake - it would only have brought down the brand identity of Fritz Hansen products. Nicola, you should save your ca$h and get the real thing - you'll love it 100 times more - and the investment will pay off in the long run . I poked around Mojo's website and sure enough - at least 4 instances of photos stolen from the websites of various dealers of authentic pieces. Shameless. | |||||

| norris i like you norris ... and i like what you say..... I feel the same about them a waste of time, i only look for a laugh and to think how expensive the stuff i own is , I think it would be around 1 million and that is no bull on the 1st dips sites. I have around $100,000 in actual dollars I bought on ebay and estate sales and have everything from Early Eames, George Nelson, Panton from 1958 and early day Knoll brnos and barcelonas and real Karl Springer lamps Harvey Probber and Kagan and tons of other stuff, the prices they come up with are such a joke, I would love to meet the customers that think they are getting a deal the auction houses would be a better buy with a sir charge on every thing, | |||||

| thanks tktoo, spanky, great | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | billyboy | Identification | |
| thanks tktoo, spanky, great advice as always ! going off at a slight tangent, when tktoo mentioned the 'p' word i did have a slight moment of doubt ... and then i remembered this rather good article in the guardian about how we spend so much time worrying about future regret ( https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/may/05/stop-worrying-about... - actually all his articles are worth a read if you like that sort of thing). so to hell with it, i'm going to do it and regret it later rather than regretting it already 🙂 the ink has been ordered and the weather is set fair for this weekend so i hope to have something for you all soon ! cheers for all your advice and will post pics once it's done ! bb | |||||
| Ahhaha! | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | rockland | General discussion | |
| Ahhaha! Well, at least they did not call it a 'George Nelson' paper clock. They must of sold a million of those back in the day. I see them for sale all the time. Original box, never installed. Mine was under 30 bucks with shipping. I only wish they used the Nelson hands to give it some value. The clock part is well made and still works but i'm switching mine to battery and changing out the hands. The number markers are cheap quality and the prongs bent and/or broke off when i was testing the layout on the wall. The best thing is the box graphics and the layout instructions... (different than the one Jesgord posted) | |||||
| Aunt Mark, you crack me up. | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Identification | |
| Aunt Mark, you crack me up. AND OH WAIT, i've got it--finally saw the side views of the thing. It's a meat carving board. I assumed from the top view that it was one thickness--thin-- front to back but it's not, it's thick and it has cleats to keep the thinner edge high. The goal was for the meat juices to pool at one end away from the carving area, not spilling onto the table. I used to have the Dansk staved teak carving board with this same slant feature built into it. If you google "Dansk carving board" you'll see some more photos of your board. | |||||
| On DA you get it for free... | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| On DA you get it for free... All possible legal intellectual property protection or rights on FLR's furniture are expired. So go ahead. The owner of the house or furniture has no particular rights with the exception of the copyright on pictures that he or she might have taken. That's why you are not allowed to take pictures in most museums because you would than own the copyright on that picture of say... the Mona Lisa. The only thing that you can not do is using the FLR name in connection with your copy because I suspect that someone has copyrighted the name and a copyright (in most countries) extends way beyond the dead of the author.The most legal way is always to be honest about what you are doing so you can say: this is a copy made by xyz according to original drawings from FLR, or measurements taken in the home of...etc. | |||||

| Brass wool | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | onegroovydude | General discussion | |
| Brass wool or a brass brush, rags, and noxon would be better than steel wool. Steel wool is not the worst thing to use, but it's not better than brass wool. It will leave tiny scratches, and cause more rust over time. Steel wool will rust on it's own, under the tiniest amounts of moisture which will cause further damage if used later. It would be great on a stainless steel sink, but not the best for painted chairs where preservation, and longevity is the number one concern. Brass wool over steel wool all day. | |||||
| Another Saarinen tulip repair question | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Fungus Mungus (USA) | General discussion | |
| Has anyone ever had a chair that someone decided to glue together? In an ill-conceived effort to repair a crack on the center of the seat where the base attaches, some moron decided to just dump a bunch of liquid nails or some other tough glue onto the base of my Knoll tulip armchair. Predictably, the base will NOT come off of the chair, no matter how much I wrench and turn. The seat is more likely to come apart before the glue releases. Anyone have any ideas how to get this thing apart without destroying it? I need to get it apart to get the repair to the seat done properly. fm | |||||
| ZM said it all | 1 Relevance | 23 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| ZM said it all Sorry, I got here late but ZM said it all anyway. The only thing I might add it that if you are trying to reproduce sunlight you do need to mix bulbs such as ZM mentioned. However, if you want to have task lighting that does this in an efficient space-saving way, try aquarium lights. Marine aquarium mixed gas fluorescent bulbs can do a really decent job mimicing natural daylight. They keep the marine flora/fauna alive so they have to provide close to natural light. Oh, and the reaveal bulbs really do provide a decent option for normal light situations. | |||||
| Hi guys, many thanks for... | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Patroni | General discussion | |
| Hi guys, many thanks for... Hi guys, many thanks for your feedback. Sorry for posting that link, it wasnt intended as advert. Its supposed to be an open discussion on something different. Good ideas need to grow and your feedback helps and even straight forward critics are very appreciated. As far as the badge goes, that is ofcourse removable. But at the same time, this may be a personal thing, since you have badges on nearly anything these days. The design is subject to taste, but then again we wanted this to look different and they are sculptures which want to be a lamp. Or maybe they just don´t fit into a box yet ? Why does there have to be a box ? Do you know of anything similar in the lamp world ? A piece that is art/sculpture during the day, and a lamp in the evenings ? We find far too many lamps are too technical and construction like. Going new ways is never easy... 😉 | |||||
