| Love them! | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Love them! These were one of my first 'modern' pieces. I have two of the folding ones that I got from Crate and Barrel years ago. Yes, I know now that a folding one isn't 'authentic', but I didn't then. And it's convenient to be able to put them away in a closet when I'm not using them. Considering thet they are at least 25 years old, they've held up really, really well. I have a bunch of covers for them that I change out seasonally. They often end up being used on our porch so I even have a mesh cover can handle getting a wet. If you want a leather cover fo ... | |||||
| LS....if I wanted to buy new | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| ... I bought my house, I created a record room in the basement and wanted a nice Eames square table. Problem is, not everybody shows it as being available. Hive Modern was the ticket; their price was standard (I bought it during the 10% off sale), they didn't charge shipping or tax and it was drop shipped directly from Herman Miller in Zealand, MI (Hive's in Washington state and i'm in Minnesota, au'go-go). A totally satisfiying transaction, and I got a nifty square table for organizing! The table's 36" square and I ordered in grey. | |||||

| I wonder what became of the Tippy Chairs. "Wright designed not only the building, but the office furniture, which was built by Steelcase. Wright's original chair design was the famous three-legged "tippy chair," shown at left, which had a disconcerting tendency to tip over if its occupant didn't sit perfectly straight. When this was pointed out to Wright, he countered that it would be good for employees' posture. Legend has it that Wright's client H. F. Johnson, Jr. met with him, and while Wright was seated in one of the chairs, dropped a pencil. Wright refl ... | |||||

| cont. Riki: You bring new air to DA, new perspective. I like your contributions and with one eye on Design and from time to time a fresh air to the business side. Lovely home, that chandelier, and the 3 glass? lamps great! Wait wait. have you checked well, didn't you have all that full of bottles before? Who had drank all the bottles there, where now there are holes! It was not me, I just drank one or two 🙂 Heath, our old HP Ostralian ambassador. Honorable member of the DA-wood-department. Other with sdr to share so many wood and so many posts. Thanks. Glass ... | |||||

| Oh sure, plenty more were. ... Oh sure, plenty more were. The wind-up movements seem to be attached to a certain period of time in Howard Miller's history, not just to certain models. I don't know when they stopped using wind-ups, but, if we can determine that (didn't a few people buy a horde of reproduction catalogs a while back?) then we can pretty much determine which had wind-up and which couldn't possibly have it. I've seen at least four other models with wind-ups -- the eye clock, the sunflower clock (I think), and...I don't recall the name of the other two unfortunately...fairly obscure models though. | |||||

Asking price was 900 dollars or something, didn't have the money to spend. (the attribution is correct to my knowledge) | |||||

| Barry I didn't post a new topic 'without providing enough basic information that the readers would not have to do additional research' I answered a question that somebody has posed... This included digging out a catalogue, photgraphing it, hosting the photo remotely and posting it here..all at 9am on a Sunday morning. Sorry if you felt my answer lacking. To make up for that: It's more than 100 years now since Ebenezer Gomme set up his furniture making business in 1898 in the town of High Wycombe, in Bucks. He joined hundreds of other furniture makers in the ... | |||||

| ... with both a cabinet and drawers below. She also has 6 chairs, 4 regular and 2 with arms. The original seat cushions were off-white leather, but have been replaced. Also, stupid! Unfortuately, she didn't keep the dining table (liked hers more!) and it was part of our estate donation 2 years ago. Say it with me now, STUPID! The wood is beautiful, the style is danish modern and is still relevant style today! I'll see if i can figure a way to post the photo.... | |||||

| True enough, Luc, but I was hoping that the exhibition would've had a room setting with a grouping of Saarinen Tulip pieces, and some more prototypes. Saarinen did not design that many pieces of furniture, but what he did design were absolutely iconic classics. Discounting Florence Knoll, who designed pieces as she needed them, at Knoll, only Jens Rissom specifically designed an array of pieces that were approaching the scale of quantity that the Eameses or George Nelson designed for Herman Miller. Saarinen only designed specific individual pieces, as well a ... | |||||

| I sat in a DS at the auto show, once -- that's it. I had the impression that every surface was soft and plush -- the carpet seemed to have two inches of foam under it. My dad, recognizing my interest in cars, in FWD, and in that which is odd and different, once opined that I should be driving a Citroen. Didn't happen. | |||||

| Thanks for the comments, I... Thanks for the comments, I agree a larger rug would have looked better but the room isn't that big and I didn't want to drown it. Paul I actually have a large CSS for sale, about 4 modules including the drop down desk unit. Thanks for the tip about the Knoll sale, I always prefer vintage but if it's a good deal then I'll be interested! | |||||

| Maybe I'm confused here, but... Maybe I'm confused here, but didn't the DKR exist before the DSR? That would mean that the wire version is the first time this shape of seat is used. I think the Herman Miller ads and catalogs of the early 1950's lists the DKR, DKX, LKX & LKR together with the DAR, DAX, LAX, LAR (the armshell variations), but without the fiberglass sideshells. I think the plastic sideshell only appeared in 1951 or 52... | |||||
