| Bad karma! | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Mark | General discussion | |
| Bad karma! I hope that the McDonalds employee didn't have to fork over some of their paycheck to replace the chair. Or worse yet, lose their $5.15/hr job. I don't corner the market on morality but for sure I'd return the chair. | |||||

| ... is an icon and maybe it puts some people off that they are "popular", I still love'em. Access to great design to the masses is a good thing. However making bad copies of them does pollute the spirit of the design. At least to be somewhat dimensionally correct and with materials and any modern improvements for the sake comfort and better wear is appreciated. The person I spoke to said that the originals were not all that comfortable and the back of the seat were leather. His copies are vinyl but can be ordered to have leather. Vinyl is the better way since i ... | |||||
| Starcat, I must apologize... | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Mark | General discussion | |
| Starcat, I must apologize... Starcat, I must apologize for being "snippy". I am aware that religious conservatives and liberals interpret the bible differently. Perhaps I'm not sure where your comments were coming from, and I jumped to conclusions. CONSERVATIVE Christians theologians generally: ~Believe that the bible was written by authors who were directly inspired by God. Thus their writings are inerrant. ~The Bible is regarded as the actual word of god. Thus whenever the Bible and science disagree, the Bible must be right. ~Most interpret the Garden ... | |||||

| Part 2 - "Starcat, perhaps you feel very different on this particular issue than many other Christians do, but indeed the persecution I felt was done in the name of THEIR churches and THEIR God. " OK, as I've mentioned before in this very thread, nothing I've said has indicated any religious preference. And it's really none of anyone's business. - "But if you or a group that you belong to stick their neck out to antagonize another group, there's a good chance that the same group (or their supporters) will take a shot back at you." Ah, guilt by association. M ... | |||||

| good i have the small one with the seat cushion and it is fine. i didn't get the full-cover because the curves of the grid is why i got the chair and i don't want to hide that. it is more comfortable then it looks because of the large numbers of the "welded" points supporting the back (kind of like a "needles bed"). however, i am not sure about sitting on it for 4 hours straight... | |||||
| alright... | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | skid | General discussion | |
| ... so many gay male designers. My take is that men in general, don't care about things looking their best. I have to admit, that most straight, male designers I know, I would call "gay" if I didn't know they where married or had girlfriends. I am sure my friends had the same questions of me. Actually, do gay males like to be called feminin? I know that that is what heteros associate gay men as being. So, I say my life as a designer opens me to ridicule as being more feminin that other men. Feminin men are thought of as being "gay". Do gay men think they are ... | |||||

| ... (correctly or otherwise) portion of entertainment/popular culture. I believe that an unknown, unknowable percentage of artists in all fields, architects included, have always been homosexual; the degree to which this was known/celebrated/suppressed/denied has varied from one era to another. While I can admit to an interest in knowing "who is and who isn't" (we can all use some identity-support and confirmation/affirmation in life), and while I would defend "to the death" (well, maybe) anyone's right to declare themselves a part of any larger whole, for w ... | |||||

| Well my kitchen is small and... Well my kitchen is small and only would hold a certain sized table. I don't and wouldn't use this purpose for a desk or anything else as I have a home office. The tulip base is not eve3n authentic on mine...just an old copy, so I didn't feel bad about using another top. On the top I used a high quality ply with a a slight angle on the edge...think Eames LTR side table top. I then covered it in a matted finish white formica. The wife and I both want a cyclone by Noguchi, but the 36 inch was too small for a 4 seater and the 48 w ... | |||||

| Mark, I wholeheartedly... Mark, I wholeheartedly endorse your decision. No one's going to accuse you of being hypocritical. (Sometimes it's tough to convey emotion on the internet, so let me stress that I'm not being sarcastic.) However--and I know you didn't raise this issue--an organization isn't exclusionary just because one doesn't like it or agree with it. Allow me to parrot what b is saying: you *could* join if you wanted to. It may require you to modify your beliefs or your behavior, but then, so does going to a library (specifically, the being-quiet ... | |||||

| Flip side | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Flip side The Design / Art / Craft menage-a-trois is a fascinating and complex subject -- note that the Museum of Contemporary Crafts (NYC) has changed its name to remove the word 'crafts,' I didn't say that all craftsmen / mechanics are automatically qualified to design. The world is filled with examples of tour-de-force craftsmanship: "I betcha didn't think I could do THAT with material [x}. . ." My complaint is that architects, for example, are no longer expected to have hands-on experience with building, to the detriment (I believe) of their art. | |||||
| I have seen Herman Miller... | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | whitespike | General discussion | |
| I have seen Herman Miller... I have seen Herman Miller esu side by side a Modernica esu and I cannot tell the difference. Modernica seems well made. I can say that I havent looked very closely, but I have seen/touched both. If other configurations solved your problem better, I do not feel Charles or Ray would have a problem with it. For instance, tey didn't need the version that is deeper for TVs as badly back then. It makes sense. | |||||

| similar sowhat 3 years ago there was an exhibition at Passagen (when it is the mobelmesse) in cologne where there was a barcelona chair in sale sowhat 40y old; they asked 40.000 Dmark. A few months later, back home, i was at a photoshoot for a new campaign of our latest products. the photographer (verne) used some old barcelona chairs; "i've found these in the factory (uco) next door, they where there for more than 40years in the hall, they where glad that they got rid of those old seats"...the guy didn't knew but probably he had a little treasure. | |||||

| ... conversation with the FFDI.org people about all this, I was insulted and told that I'd risk fines if I didn't comply. I'm telling y'all this is bulls**t. We are being manipulated into believing that we have to pay exorbitant prices for good design. Crappy knockoffs do indeed exist and I'm not buying those either, but this is getting really stupid. I'm actually begining to feel embarrassed that I own a 'real' anything, makes me feel the fool for getting suckered. Koen's right; buy vintage or buy a current contemporary. | |||||

| I did read your message that way... but I am glad to see that we completely agree that inventors aren't solitary geniuses living in a vacuum. More generally, the 'self-made man' is a myth, and the idea that one's wealth is theirs alone because 'they earned it' is equally misguided. Warren Buffett points out that had he lived out his life in some poverty stricken third world country, he would never have assembled a multi-billion dollar fortune. Bill Gates Sr. agrees and has an organization called Responsible Wealth that has as part of its mission, teaching th ... | |||||
