	hp 2 seperate people are sending to my shop in Oklahoma chairs that there parents owned to be redone 1 fellow from LA is sending four Eames aluminum group lounge chairs that his Dad bought in 1956 and they used every day in there family home, he was kind enough to send a photo of him as small child on the furniture, The other a Eames Lounge chair is coming from Seattle from 1960 that belonged to his Dad both sets of Parents are passed on but they will live on in the fond memories that these two men shared with this furniture. I lost my parents 7 years ago and all the wonderful things that they owned were things... but when you remember all the fond memories you had with a specific item that they owned that makes every thing special There is truly no price for that.
	I don't think entering the...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Starline	General discussion
	I don't think entering the... I don't think entering the room from a different angle is overly significant but different. Keep in mind in person your eyes only see bits of the room at a time so you tend to walk through the home enjoying the story as it unfolds. We forget that it's only because the image on screen is small we can see the complete aspect in one.After all the reality is it's a hero shot taken from the best viewpoint for a reader to enjoy. Flowers is just an example for easy colour and the scent is always appealing. Many decorators advise a pillow,a throw or other item with a hint of the same colour to link the room but they often move things around until they get the desired effect. When I set my house for sale the only thing the photographer changed in the whole house was moving the flowers from one side of the room to the other.He only noticed after viewing from the lens. Yes Eameshead,the unexpected is key but that's another story.
	Paella, funny you should mention that.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Paella, funny you should mention that. The hubs and I are having a Last Hurrah party this weekend at our soon to be sold house in Massachusetts. When we first moved here in 1996, my sister had just returned from 4 years living in Madrid, Spain. So she made us Paella at our housewarming party. I'm now pretty good at making it myself and that's what we're going to serve at the Last Hurrah. Seemed fitting since we're moving to New Mexico. One thing though, calling that M.Lax pan a Paella pan is a real stretch. I know that's what Copco called it, but it's really a casserole. I have two of them and love them! However, a real Paella is made in a thin flat steel pan and should be cooked outside on a grill or ccharcoal pit. And you don't stir the rice at all so you end up with this awsome crust on the bottom that flavors the whole dish with roasty awesomeness. http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/LaTienda/pp-26?defaultImage=placeholder_...$reg_1000$

	I agree with SDR	1 Relevance	19 years ago	koen	General discussion
	I agree with SDR ...on Fallingwater that is. Depending on the season the water can be quite present (early spring) to almost unnoticable in late summer. But Inever though it could be a nuisance. In spring time it gives you the feeling of being part of a larger system of natural forces, in which you enjoy the protection of a warm natural space. The lowe ceiling is indeed a masterfull thought about the passage between the entrance, the living room and the large terrasse. The feeling when stepping outside is a wonderfull experience worth the trip to the Pennsylvania woods. Try to plan it for the time the dogwood is flowering (I suspect it's the large flowered Cornus florida)It is a wonderfull experience. I agree that the architectural model of the MoMA are exceptional, but the real thing is so much more.
	Are you drunk or do you have a condition?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	vintage damage	General discussion
	Are you drunk or do you have a condition? That is not intended as an insult to you or drunks etc. I want for you to see that you need work. At this point I have a right to say something. 1. I used to be the "go-to" guy when students found messed up puppies on the street (this is L.A.). The issue is not puppy pictures. It was your flat attempt to mock part of my question. 2. You cannot make it work for you. Millions of adults do. That's why we are there. 3. Are you attempting to steal credit or do you need to answer the title question? It was mjf451 who I acknowledged and thanked subtly. 4. I didn't thank you because the only thing that you brought to the table,which could possibly be of use, was the phone # which we in the 21st can find in less than a minute and I think that you can understand why I am not a big fan of yours. 5. In reference to this search, I only said that I had tried Twitter, and many other avenues. I don't usually use it for finding parts and did not defend it for that. Again, read the thread and give yourself a little time. Yes, I too will still answer your Q.s when I am around and have something to offer. I would appreciate it if you take my advice (*) when responding to my posts. If you were on Twitter I would ask you to D.M. me about my title and we could have an interesting private discussion.
	I'd	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I'd go there just for the music ! [Geez I wish we could see the thread while writing !] Lots of better advice as we go, here. I assume the mark is on the flat top surface, in which case a bit of skillful power sanding, followed by re-oiling, would be the thing if the stain has penetrated into the end grain (certainly a possibility) and nothing else works. Heated remedies are making me nervous, so far; the only time I use heat is when steaming out dents, which works well depending on specie and conditions. . . Polyurethane glue and teak (and moisture) go together well. The tan squeeze-out is dry and 'fluffy' and removes easily by cutting, scraping or sanding. It usually accepts stain and other finishes well -- more invisibly than yellow glue does. I use it more and more. (It stains flesh for a couple of days, so wear gloves if you're a hand model !) [okay, I admit it -- spellchek is useful. my iMac's latest upgrade included it, for the first time. . .]
	Not if you give it three legs	1 Relevance	11 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Not if you give it three legs ! My suggestion of three legs is based partly on the asymmetrical form, and partly for the practical purpose of self-leveling. As for the length of the legs, that's no problem at all: make all the legs long enough, then after assembly adjust the length empirically, by supporting the top at the desired level, mark and measure the legs from the floor surface, invert and cut. (I seem to have a thing about turning tables upside down ! Doctor, is this a psycho-sexual malady of some sort ?) Note that the legs are held well in from the ends, in my sketch. This is no accident. Think of a bird, or or a vase of flowers, or a small airplane or a Jacques Lipschitz nude: all have floating forms balanced on slender and sometimes stick-like bases. Floating and expansion -- like a tree, or a cloud -- is the desired image . . .
	some of mine	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	some of mine I love enameled cast iron and steel and I have a bunch of pieces but everything's packed away right now until I make my permanent move in a few months. I had to filch a few photos from the internets. First one is a Timo Sarpaneva pot for cooking a whole fish (maybe?). They are pretty rare and I've yet to see one with the original wooden handle that doubles as a lid-lifter---which is too bad because it's a thing of beauty in and of itself, in addition to being an ingenious design. I have only used mine once in 7-8 years and I will have no room to display it so I'm finally letting it go---sob! Second is not rare at all but I adore it and use it now and then. It's a little Michael Lax pot on a tealight stand. I love the shape and simplicity. Perfect balance of form and function. Last is another Copco piece(s) that I got at an auction and kept for a little while but then sold it because I knew I'd never use it, and again, had no room to display it. It is pretty rare. I cadged this photo from a current ebay listing, so they do come up now and then.
	Dominos ?	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Dominos ? Are those what we call biscuits, or Lamellos ? You should be all right. I'd try to keep the bolts from the very ends of the base members. How will you locate the welds ? Perhaps you could construct the steel piece and weld it to the bolts, located temporarily in the unclad base, and then apply plastic laminate ? The laminated wood base looks pretty neat. Nice workmanship. Maybe you could reveal the material by simply painting the piece black ? I'm always leery of small pieces of Formica. I apply it with rigid glue rather than contact cement, when I can. This piece doesn't quite represent the best use of material, to me, but the whole thing is certainly persuasive, as to form and structure, so you get a pass ! (I'm not happy with the central joint, where one base "stick" would, ideally, cross the other -- another reason why solid stock might have been preferable ?) Carry on !
	Yooperdad,	1 Relevance	9 years ago	sebastian s	General discussion
	Yooperdad, As Zephyr says, i think you have pretty much everything already there, in those labels. Nice. I happened to find one of these sometime ago. Not in such a good shape and without the ottoman. But still a great find, at least for me, since the poor thing was forgotten and dirty some where in Buenos Aires. https://www.designaddict.com/forum/Repair/Milo-Baughman-recliner May be you find there some additional information that might interest you.The photos are gone for some reason and i am denied access to edit it, so i am posting them here again. There is another thread where Leif Ericson posts a great page from a catalog, where you can see some of the recliners that were later designed for Thayer Coggin. https://www.designaddict.com/forum/Repair/Found-Mid-century-what-I-think-... For what i found the most common colors for that vinyl upholstery are black, that kind of olive green that you have, and yellow, like mine.
	Function	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Function Function seems to be fine with the LCW. I use it on a fairly regular basis. The backrest flexes on the shockmounts, the wood is solid, the seat is comfortable. I'm just SUPER cautious about sitting down with anything metal on my pants. I've grown accustomed to that anyway since I have a bunch of the fiberglass shells in my house. The one thing I've heard horror stories of are pants with heavy rivets sticking out. So frisk all of your guests before seating them. I havent encountered the Vitra versions. Are they the same? I know HM is simply importing the Vitra plastic chairs rather than mfg them in the US. Perhaps Vitra is importing the LCWs. PS. The LCW is also a perfect place to pile up blankets and pillows when changing bed linens - it catches them without letting anything touch the floor. Also works for teddy bears, throw pillows, and anything else soft and zipper-less. LOL.
	.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. rock the casbah! Its a small thing really, snaffling a rotting chair from a backyard or parking lot might not be perfectly legal but indeed completely legal and respected professions engage in behaviour that is totally reprehensible and causes immense damage. Look where we are now! And the people who encouraged this and speculated with other peoples money (with their own foolish complicity) don't even do so much as an hours community service. The person who drives the hummer/humvee (what are those monstrosities called?) throws their hamburger wrapper out their window and goes home to a little discrete domestic violence, well its all relative don't you think? Or are moral absolutes back in fashion? Personally I could not do it, or would have great diffuculty, not becuase I'm bound to behaving in that way but I just couldn't be bothered with the stress of being caught and having to explain such a bizaare action. Anticipating the drama is enough to stop me in my tracks, but thinking about it is fun.
	Pine? I don't think so, but then I thought it was oak	1 Relevance	18 years ago	dashes	General discussion
	Pine? I don't think so, but then I thought it was oak And maybe it really does have a heavy coat of polyurethane. Thing is, it's too short to sit at, so how could it be a library table? I'd think those would be taller. And what's up with the term "occasional" table? I mean, every table I have is a full-time table. I could see calling one of those tilt tables, or a folding table, a TV tray table, any of those I could see calling an occasional table, since part of the time they truly are not tables at all, at least functionally. Or perhaps they are tables only used on certain occasions, like birthdays. In which case I'd call them a birthday table, or a Christmas table, or whatever. Anyway, I have a couple others that I also don't know what to call. The 2-tiered one I've seen called a dumbwaiter, a lamp table, a 2-tiered table, a side table and other names I've forgotten. The square one, I have no idea beyond side table, but even then, it's not really. Also, on the round one, the legs, would they be considered cabriole? It's sort of a modern take on that, though - is there a name for this specific style? :shrug:
	Destijl Design, you started a	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Destijl Design, you started a new thread about your rocker instead of responding in your original thread---without realizing that the two threads wouldn't automatically be linked together. People saw your new thread and didn't connect it with the question you posted a day or two earlier (probably because most people remember the subject better than they remember the name of the person posting). When you add a response to a thread, the thread gets bumped to the top of the list of threads. Eventually a thread with no recent responses sinks off the first page of the forum so not as many people notice it. This isn't usually a very fast-moving forum, but even so there are ID queries that sink before anyone has an answer. Then again, sometimes they will get answered weeks, months, or even years later. You never know! Also, in spite of lots of thread views, the number of people who can ID any given thing is usually pretty small, or at least that's how it seems to me after being here for years. Anyway, that's how basic posting works.
