	Mangiarotti's Maritime Table...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	freshcutgrass	General discussion
	... it a "re-issue" to be kind). The original was sold under the Secticon name (model name C-1 ..3 models were designed by Mangiarotti, the C-1 being of course the best...the other two were like more common "ball" clocks). The Secticon used a very accurate and tricky (and very expensive) Swiss made movement called a constant-force escapement (aka spring remontoire). The re-issue uses a German quartz movement. Also, the original base was made of a special coloured phenolic plastic (like Bakelite) with solid brass accents, rather than the white porcelain base fo ...
	Heath, regarding a modernist myth...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	... attempt to address your comment: didn't modernism, despite its heavy emphasis on geometric form language evolve into yet another mythology suffused with a near messianic mysticism regarding its potential to improve and reorder the world. First, I agree with you that many moderns did act with a kind of messianic mysticism at times, and I do think that many persons in the recent modernist revival, attribute to it some not entirely logical and persuasive purposes. But having said this, I would characterize what we both note about the Modernists more as a shift ...
	ebay report form	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... usually doesn't do much good to file a complaint about an active listing if it only has a few days to go because it takes them that long to get to it. I've reported shilling and the auctions were ended by Ebay and the seller suspended briefly. I have also reported a seller who had been suspended multiple times and kept registering with a new name. Ebay said I didn't have enough proof at first but eventually the seller inadvertantly offered sufficient evidence and she was booted off for good. She ripped off a lot of people first, though. I've bought and s ...

	P.S. Spanky	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	P.S. Spanky That lamp was chalkware and now I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy it. There's always a next time, right? What's the coolest thing you didn't buy that you wish you had? Mine is a 6 foot long oval wicker basket with a wooden bottom that was used in the hot, humid US southern states at the turn of the century to store BODIES in on ICE during a funereal viewing. I saw one in Hendersonville, NC last year and didn't buy it. I've never seen another one before or since and regret it every day. Biggest regret?
	Some of these people on ebay...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	finch	General discussion
	Some of these people on ebay... Some of these people on ebay are pretty untakeable, though I will venture (with some reluctance) that one might occasionally bump into some treasure now and then with said query. I saw a picture somewhere once of someone who had tattooed an Eeames Lounger on their forearm. Can you hear my flesh creeping?? I feel like, though, that this stuff is safe from lame association or saturation. Hippies didn't ruin flowers for me, either.
	Lucifer	1 Relevance	18 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	Lucifer I didn't make any claims that Plycraft was a "great company." However, they did actually produce at least one iconic piece and another handful of pieces that are understandably enjoyed. This is more than companies like Burke can claim. And Lucifer, may I please express myself without any reprimand? I am starting to feel like you are badgering me, and just disagreeing with anything I say for the fun of it. I can't seem to say anything without you writing some direct remark trying to discredit my thoughts. If I am wrong, please accept my apologies, it ...
	Matching	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	... had a specific title in mind regarding the colors blue and yellow or blue and yellow pottery or what, because I was confused. No, friends, she didn't care what the subject matter was. She just wanted a big, impressive book that had a cover on it that would go in her blue and yellow room. Easy sale. Whitespike, I respectfully disagree with you regarding copying a Mondrian. I don't see a thing wrong if mjhaynes wants to paint a canvas for his/her own pleasure for his/her own use in the style of Mondrian, Calder or Dr. Seuss or Marvel comics. She/he is no ...
	Dots....Howard Miller made	1 Relevance	18 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	... Nelson Associates joined HERMAN Miller, his clock designs were produced by HOWARD Miller and continued this arrangement until the early 1970's. I'm not absolutely certain of the break-off date, but the later new clocks were designed by Arthur Umanoff, who was a George Nelson Associates employee. By the early 1970's most of the older Nelson clocks had been discontinued, but it's possible that a few were still in their catalog. However, by the mid-1970's, all of the Nelson Associates clocks were discontinued and strangely, HOWARD Miller had basically disall ...

Two great improvements!: Woof-woof, I didn,t really pay enough much attention, and re-reading: About the on-off system, by Touching the lamp, ,,, much the same way a bucket or can is kicked,,, as you said. Touching better than twacking, : ) I was searching for that, thinking was a ,,subliminal,, thing : ), But ,,subliminal,, was the idea itself!, Is the perfect subtle accent. It,s perfect!, the perfect clue. But was a ceiling lamp, (that was spouse to be ...

After comments of costumers I didn,t know what to do/think, but then I realize, I don,t need to tell everybody, perhaps I . When we listen to music, I don,t know, let,s say Pink Floyd, the wall, perhaps don,t need to remember and rethink about how teaching models are/ were, every time we listen, perhaps, lots of people listen music and never realize what are they talking about, and are singing happy here and there. And it,s OK. If 5% or 1% feels/understands the concept/idea it,s mor ...

	True	1 Relevance	18 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	True But I am pretty damn sure they didn't produce this chair in fiberglass. They did introduce the fiberglass Bertoia side chair as a competitor to Herman Miller's side shells that were so well received in the contract furniture market. This isn't Knoll, I am 98.5% positive 😉
	Pipes by Joe Colombo	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Monochrome	General discussion
	Pipes by Joe Colombo dcwilson, if you're still interested in modernist -ish pipes, here's a 1969-70 pair I spotted in a book about Joe Colombo, who didn't seem to feel dressed without a briar. The caption reads, "Nei suoi schizzi de pipe per Butz Choquin, Joe Colombo ottene un piccolo, ma oltremodo practico miglioramento della classica forma del fornello in modo che divertasse una basa d'appoggio."
