	No,	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	No, Wright didn't design that chair. It looks like The Wegner model to me. Despite Wright's attempt to design furniture in keeping with every project, chairs were a tricky thing for him. And some of his best clients (or ones with the best houses, anyway) chose other sources for furnishings. The Hannas settled on Scandinavian chairs for their dining room, and the Pews and the Rosenbaums had Eames DCW's (early photos of Rosenbaum show a set of Wright chairs at the dining table; don't know where and when they went !). Other period modern furniture shows u ...
	Well,	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Well, the foam is part of the deal, I guess; the fact that the glue expands as it cures is useful, and the foam is more easily removed from the work than other glue squeeze-out. (The pants I discarded had unremovable glue on them; I haven't used it in a vac bag yet but I'd recommend a disposable layer of thin film, like a dry-cleaner's bag, or perhaps a coat of wax, inside the bag.) A recent issue of Fine Woodworking had a "comparison test" that included poly glue, which didn't shine in certain strength tests; but the testers chose not to clamp the test jo ...
	Something to look for.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	James-2	General discussion
	Something to look for. Early on we ordered at replica bench that didn't have finger joints on the legs and ended up on my butt with a broken bench leg. I believe it was produced by Alphaville Design. Finger jointed legs, like the Herman Miller, should take that worry away.

	shrugs I'm at ease with... shrugs I'm at ease with what I purchased, I saved it from the garbage tip and didn't stimulate demand. The large companies and the benefactors of the designers are the ones who are being let down. Imagine your father designs an object, slaves for years and lives in not the best circumstances, finally he finds sucess and he dies...you inherit his estate and find that YOU (not him) are now being stolen from. But I respect your knowldge LRF and have no interest in fighting online. The camps in this argument will just have to vote ...

	Said I Luv Ya Don't dwell on it. We agree on this. All that I meant was that on some other post, a long time ago on a planet far far away, I didn't agree with what you said. . . . and I added that what was great about this forum was that . . . oh forget about it.
	latex foam source	1 Relevance	19 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	latex foam source You can buy slab latex foam from foamorder.com and shape them yourself. There was another discussion about this just recently here. I made some from scratch (nothing to copy, just a few photos) using polyurethane foam and I don't recommend it. It doesn't have nearly the resilience of latex and just didn't feel right. I've sat on the real thing since I made the fake ones and there's no comparison.
	US Pavilion, Expo 2010, Shanghai	1 Relevance	19 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... Department for them to win the "right" to collect the money from private industry and then hand over the pavilion, rent-free, to the U.S. Government. This is what happened with the U.S. Pavilion in Japan in 2005... but didn't happen at Expo 2000 in Hannover (because they couldn't collect enough funds). Additionally, the United State Congress in 2002 didn't appropriate funds for our country to maintain membership in the Bureau International des Expositions, which makes it very difficult for us to hold another world's fair in the United States. How much are t ...

But for all my efforts i was unable to inflict any physical danage to my hands or foreams (the softest skin available, i considered droping my trousers but figured that would get me thrown out). I'm not saying that you wouldnt get the odd nip, but wheather its the size or thickness of the tiles, the depth of the foam, their relative distance or a clever combination of all four it works. It comes in two length ...

	... geometry with little regard for the client or the site. It didnt matter where the lot was, the building would be the same, he says. This was anathema to Goff, who in his projects created a harmonious relationship of materials, design and location. Both the Bavinger and Ledbetter houses are perfect examples of Goffs skill as a successful alchemist of material, site and structure. When the Ledbetter House was under construction during the late 1940s, the intersection of Brooks and Chautauqua became known as calamity corner for the number of curious spec ...

Of course, these have scratches in the seats from 2 years of use, but they've worn pretty well. the chrome still looks good and I didn't see any cracked chairs. Would love to talk to the person that ordered those fm
	Reply from the seller	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Reply from the seller Here's what I got as a reply when I contacted the seller of the piece that started the thread. I asked him/her questions about provenance and maker's marks: "Basically this auction is a test. I will relist until I hear from someone in the right class such as this piece and who actually know the work. - I knew I would hear from the usual bargain/discount class as well and that is fine. Thank you for your interest." I really don't know what that means, but I didn't get any real information. Looking like they're fishing or scamming.

	OK, The low back version of... OK, The low back version of the Pegasus doesn't look too bad. The photo on that first page didn't do it justice (from the straight on shot it is difficult to see that it is bent-wood). In the 3/4 view on this page, it is shown from a much better angle (the 3 seater one in green, across the room in the first of the rotating photos up top). Now, I'm not rushing out to buy one, but I'm just saying. http://new.ekornes.com/us/stressless/stressless_sofas/stressless-pegasus2

A handy electric hand-held mixer that you dislike, because you'd rather hand mix, I like, because I do enough mixing by hand to relish when I can save the elbow grease on inconsequential things for important dishes. Tangentially, I've always disliked the disingenuousness marketing of "industrial grade" in home appliances and home power tools. I live in a home. I am not ashamed of that. I do ...

	... at all. I guess we all have very different seating habits that's all. While there may be some psychological issues at hand in the apreciation, it's hardly my reason to purchase it, and I assume the same for many others. While I am only 5'10" the back height works for me rather well. I do tend to slouch a little and use this chair for napping and reading. My father, at a whopping 6'4" sleeps in it often when he has sinus issues. He thinks it's rather comfy ... and at his large size. I guess he's really a sloucher! Hopefully I won't experience the same back d ...
