	Thank you..	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Breareye	General discussion
	Thank you.. I'm new with this forum thing, so I haven't gotten the picture thing down yet. But anyway, I thought Wormley too. But I also couldn't find any examples that matched the construction of the chair's frame. Yeah ten dollars! Believe me, I freaked out when I saw it. I immediately ran to the cashier counter thinking someone else would get it. It was an epic moment. haha.
	the real story	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	the real story To answer your earlier question Gordon made lots of Mies Funrniture as repoductions in the late 50's to t he the early 70's then they got into some legal problems with Knoll who aquired the Mies rights in the 50's . I do know for a f act that Thonet did make that chair starting in November 1931 it was designed by Mies with Lilly Reich and they called it the the L R chair , It was changed into the MR 533 by Thonet and they sold thousands of those chairs for Mies . so if you are lucky you might have one of the early day ones made in Amsterdam were they were located. They also made a chair that was so close designed by Marcel Breuer you would think that they were fraternal twins cause they are similar but a little different . Mies got his patents in before Breuer and his chair went in to production first , Thonet in the 20 to 40's was the company to be with as they made all tubular chairs by Breuer. Mies, Le corbusier as they were Run by a designer who had a great tubular chair him self named Anton Lorenzo who today Thonet still makes his chairs.
	Persistence produces	1 Relevance	11 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	Persistence produces opportunities, and production value is very often extremely overrated a symbol of the thing is often a reasonable equivalent to the thing, depending on level of saturation/immersion/addiction a satisfying entry level can be as simple as a photocopy

	Until the OP makes a run of... Until the OP makes a run of these tables to sell this thread is full of nothing but overreactions. I've learned one thing though, never share my personal projects here because there's apparently no such thing as CONSTRUCTIVE criticism in this forum. All you will get is irrelevant ethics lectures from some grumpy old men.
	SDR, I just wanna say that I	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	SDR, I just wanna say that I loved reading your description of how to figure the dimensions of something from a photo. I have done that exact thing with everything from cushion sizes and shapes to antique doll parts and I really enjoy it (plus it yields great results). I worked the method out myself out of necessity and it warms my heart to know that others do the same thing!
	Auuugh-h-h. . .	1 Relevance	12 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Auuugh-h-h. . . That's Homer S drooling at the prospect of a Chicken Moon Pie. No, the signature thing only happens at this end, when posting. Used to be (before switching to the latest Apple OS ?) I would start to fill in my email, and the computer would take over and finish. Still works on some PAC donation sites . . . If this is the worst thing that happens in this scary new millennium, I'll be overjoyed !
	That	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	That yellow thing is a Pontiac Aztec -- gone and forgotten. The joke was that the dealers were hiding this one at the back of the lot. Perhaps the only thing wrong with the Pacer is the proportion -- it was "America's first WIDE small car." But maybe the "greenhouse" is just too tall -- and I like lots of glass. (Remember your first impression of the BMW 1600 - 2002 two-door ?)
	Hey Boho,	1 Relevance	18 years ago	alexandersforum	General discussion
	Hey Boho, It's one thing to make a reproduction for your own use... -A totally different thing if the aim is to make money from it. It's not your work, not your property. Why not make something of your own design and try to sell that instead?

	Thanks, I'm glued to the radi... Thanks, I'm glued to the radio and journos are getting down into the valley, cars and horses are apprantly hanging in trees but the fact the roads been at least partially open is a good thing. Civilisation feels like a very precious and fragile thing.
	I'd have to say my whole house and it's contents	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	I'd have to say my whole house and it's contents I have come to think of my home as truly that 'machine for living in' that we all hear about...so picking one thing is hard to do. I've edited and edited until we really use what we own and don't have much 'stuff' hanging around. It makes life simpler and more serene and allows me to appreciate what I have more thoroughly. So I son't really think on one thing being better than another so much any more...but I do live my nelson becnh even if it's bbetter to look at that it is to use!
	Perfect Polly isn't so unusual.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Perfect Polly isn't so unusual. People buy dolls and stuffed animals all the time... Which is fine, I guess, if you like that sort of thing. But aren't those items usually chosen based on the buyer's own perception of the thing itself -- which teddy bear is cutest or softest or whatever? Does anyone think a child will love a particular toy bear just because some bear expert has authenticated it as the most accurate representation of the real thing? If OLB had desired for his chair to have some particular PK22 feature, but couldn't tell from website photos which of the replicas had that feature, I could understand why he'd ask about that feature here. I don't think he'd get an expert answer, but at least it would make some sort of sense for him to ask THAT question. But it just seems bizarre for someone to care whether a replica has PK22 features that he's never seen. How will that affect how the chair looks in his room? Unless he's hoping to pass off the replica as the real thing, to people more knowledgeable than he is, why does it even matter?
	BTVM	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	BTVM your right it had to be a budget thing back then. It has been 4 weeks Monday and these stone masons have not gotten to far. Each piece has to be cut and looking for the perfect needle in the haystack, cause if you do not find the right stone it looks like some thing else,(like a rich country club would use for their sign saying Meadow Brooke, ) They tell me they can not get the 2 inch tennessee crab orchard anymore, like you saw on so many houses in the South west cause the quarry closed down years ago, so any thin pieces they have to saw cut, or we have to find used, The only problem with getting used is one side has turned brown and dirty after 50 years on old houses, Yes it was no doubt a budget thing back then,
	My luxury	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	My luxury has an aspect of indolence....something that I never have the time for. My post above pretty well sez it. (who irons their bedding??) I've never thought of luxury being a visual thing, though. It's a sensual thing to be sure, but all my senses need to be involved. To me, taste is a strong sense for experiencing luxury. Chocolate for me is a very luxurious thing. So is Champagne. Touch is another sense that knows luxury. Fabrics, girly potions and lotions, a deep massage or a soak in a hot bath. Scent is also good at finding luxury. Coffee, perfume, the smell of Freesia blossoms...oh that one makes me swoon. However, I'm having trouble imagining a luxurious sound. Anyone?

	Hi Glassartist	1 Relevance	13 years ago	guyinSF	General discussion
	Hi Glassartist Yes I agree with you. I thought the same thing too when I picked up that fish-like metal fruit bowl with the rattan accents. I was hoping it was some Austrian MCM thing from Walter Bosse or Carl Aubock but there's no patina on it, too new looking. I can't pinpoint the retailer that carried this piece either, could be any one of them, but I like it a lot and I guess your wife did too since she bought it.
