| I would say do what ever it... I would say do what ever it is that will allow you to enjoy it. Personally I would salvage what could be salvaged and replace what has to be replaced. If you plan on using it forever there is bound to be something that needs replacing. Things just wear out no matter how well they are built. On my Eames sofa (which is not in production anymore) I had it reupholstered. I could not stand the snot green fabric on it, as it didn't fit my other furnishings. But, I wanted to keep and not sell so I made it more enjoyable to me. | |||||

| Thanks, Koen I'll stay away from that. I tend to be insensitive to chemicals, but I didn't notice a odor. Oddly, I tried it because a manufacturer friend told me that thermoformability was one of the features of the product; it is sometimes kerfed and then bent for a tight 90 degree corner. I guess they do it under proper conditions ! | |||||

| The amazing koen, ladies and gentlemen.. Are you available on CD-Rom? You didn't speak w/ Gabo did you? I'm gonna try to make one too then, tonight. First Gabo with the sculpture, then koen with the explanation..So I'll be a second-order plagiarist? "Happy birthday, Mom. I made it just for you." You know..Gabo made more than one "spheric" sculpture. I think I know of at least one more.. Maybe I'll set my sights on some good ol' first-order artistic fraud, after some initial confidence building. | |||||

| Albers made some compelling w... Albers made some compelling work, didn't he? I'd love to find a book devoted to his career(pictures, again, more than text). I've had an inkling that some of his work seems to presage Op-art (minus any accompanying theory, which all smacks of B.S. to some degree. I'm pretty cynical since reading some of Tom Wolfe's "THe Painted Word." It takes all the fun out of my recently inheriting a small William Ivey oil painting. Paul Horiuchi, however, I like. Anybody know where to find info about either of these two artists?) | |||||

| ... But I just love the aesthetic of that "tree-branch"-decorated case piece, and the biomorphic (did you say bug-morphic ?) tri-table at the top (can't figure out what the central "drape" is for, though. . .). Shades of Prouve'-Chareau, here and there. I agree with your comments about touting "computer-drawn" as a distinguishment (the scourge of our fellow "DesignCommunity" .com is a fellow whose only claim to fame -- despite his protestations to the contrary -- may be his prodigious CAD rendering skill) -- though in the interest of full disclosure I must co ... | |||||

| ... The next movie director that wants to film Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" absolutely has to hire this guy as his set designer. Hey, maybe we should all write to Raid or Decon or Orkin or some other pest control company and they could hire him to do the interior for their headquarters. I'm actually serious here. Visually, this is as good as weird gets. I wonder if any of it functions well? I have only one serious criticism. In his promotion he mentions his firm uses computerized design. I really wish he and all the other designers would quit talking about using ... | |||||

Also, I don't see what Applachian Spring has to do with anything. I liked classical music, opera music, etc growing up. Still do. At a young age, I definitely wasn't able to understand all the meaning behind opera. I just thought it was pretty. What that has to do with whether a child would want a modern-style treehouse, I have no idea *shrug* I guess you mean ... | |||||

My tree house might have been 'rustic,' but that didn't mean it was not well-designed. It was extremely cool-looking and was situated around three closely-set trees, and yes, it had support beams that extended from the ground. It mulitple floors, four different doors with rope ladders, windows with glass. All the kids in the neighborhood wanted my tree house. I was proud of it. My dad and uncle built it, and I helped where ... | |||||

| This wire-bending wheel --... This wire-bending wheel -- what have you done with it? Or what can be done w/ it? I thought it was just for bending gears, didn't know it wasn't Ganson's own invention. Incidentally, I'm still surprised at how well his gears mesh w/ each other! no skipping. It's also interesting that Ganson doesn't make any reference to Calder, i don't think, but he did create homages to Tinguely and Duchamp. Anxiety of influence, or something. A "next step" could perhaps employ nitinol "muscle wire." And, with that, Good night. | |||||

| Yes, these are undesirable, but...Pt. 1 they are bent-wood and probably at an unbeatable price. I don't know why they didn't either borrow more appealing designs, or hire one of you folks here to do some thing fresh, but they lacked that insight for whatever reason. The keys are: are they put together well and are they cheap? If yes, then they can live to style another day. If not, then they firm dies and they will not last long enough to hire anyone here, or grow their own great designers. Societies and firms always have to start somewhere when they begin t ... | |||||
| Hmmm...Pt. 1 | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| Hmmm...Pt. 1 I thought the question was WHY is this chair so extraordinarily popular at present and in recent years? I didn't interpret the question as a request for a judgement about whether or not it should be as popular as it is. But since you raise the issue, I will try to deal with that next. People simply do buy it as an aesthetically pleasing, scupltural artifact with the prestige that goes with that; that much is self-evident because there just are alot of other more comfortable chairs. Your comments (or your comments with regard to silly function) d ... | |||||

It was fascinating to see him at work. It was impressive to see how fast he captured the spirit of the place. He hardly didn't move anything. The objects and furniture are were they usually are. He took many photos of the house, maybe we ... | |||||
