| thank you thanks for the compliment and lord knows I don't have photos of every aspect of the restaurant. it's been really difficult researching and I even spent a day at New York Public Library @ 42nd street researching years ago with little results. however I have yet to come across a photo with the low back armchairs actually in the restaurant. And my wording probably was a tad confusing. I think both versions of the chairs were designed for the restaurant and only the sidechair was actually used in the restaurant tho both versions went into commercial pr ... | |||||

| I'm sorry I can't understand... I'm sorry I can't understand what youré trying to say. I didn't intend to make any negative comments about style or mannerism. If you agree that an ethical approach can determine aesthetics could you describe the resultant style (colour, materials, line, size, weight, texture)? I don't think I was using the word "mannerist" in a strict sense. Do some designers/manufacturers utilise a certain aesthetic to promote their products as having properties they don't have. Or could it be argued that resultant aesthetics are important e ... | |||||

| ... that contradicts with what has been said. Yes, I do think that I would be a snob if I said that you're worthless unless you buy an original, but I didn't, I, as well as several other people, have given many different options on how to own designer furniture. My point was not that you HAVE to own the original, its that the people ripping these designs off have no right to be claiming the money and hard work that went into the designs in the first place. | |||||

| ... etc. I'm sure the quality of the unlicensed repros is fine, and I don't have a problem nor care whether other people purchase them. For me, though, the licensed versus unlicensed debate is akin to the debate over whether to purchase an actual (though updated) colonial home vs. purchasing a newly built McMansion built to look like a colonial home. Price is not the issue here - in my neighborhood, the cheesy McMansion is significantly more expensive, at least in the North Virginia burbs. However, genuineness is the issue, which is why I prefer original mid ... | |||||

Great looking vacuum but if I had to think about it, I would actually give the advantage to the Windtunnel. Perhaps I have more cooperative dust bunnies at my house, but I think overall, the Dyson wasn't any better than my vaccuum, if not a bit underpar actually. Wow. What a long rant on vaccuum. I didn't think I had it in me. | |||||

I got it from DWR, but I think you can find such a thing elsewhere. And the buffed top didn't show scratches much which was a bonus! | |||||
| eames | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | deacon | General discussion | |
| eames i agree with b - barc is overated & eames are more important. how many barc are out there? how many eames fiberglass chairs are out there? how many of their knockoffs are out there? the barc didn't really inspire other designers doing other chairs all that much, while i think you can still clearly see eames' influence today. if you show the general public a picture of both chairs, i bet they would recognize the fiberglass beforethe barc. | |||||
| Surviving the pricetag | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Surviving the pricetag It's more a matter of what one likes and using basic common sense. I own a Panton relaxer chair, that I bought from C.I.T.E. in New York, pricetagged at $995 and with a friendly wink to the salesguy I got it with a 10% discount. I call it my PS2 chair...*L* It's extremely comfortable and Panton seems to have thought of the ergonomics too, since I'm quite tall. I was thinking of getting a generic low seater from Crate&Barrel, but my friends told me that an original design over something generic will always survive the passing of time, w ... | |||||

| ... well as many of the old(er) homes in Newton and outer suburbs. What I don't understand is this McMansion phenonomem. I can understand why people desire newer construction (although I think the quality of such construction is debatable, and I'll take a Sears kit house over a teardown any day), I can't seem to grasp this more recent trend of why people want to live in a simply enormous house and are willing to be "house poor" (or "house broke") to do so. I know couples without kids who don't even entertain and who desire a six bedroom place. Is it a status ... | |||||

| Thank you thank you. The skin is such a unique strange what ever it is... I wasn't sure if something with bleach would melt, burn, eat the material. It seams to be a fiberglass sprayed on plastic something or another. I have tried soap and water and it didn't change anything at all, I will try the soft scrub and see how it turns out. The only reason I wanted to clean them is because they were purchased from two different places at different times and one looks older than the other. I do agree that the aged look much cooler than my new one. They are not that ... | |||||

| I recall they did show his... I recall they did show his apt (in the 1st or 2nd episode) and I didn't like that style myself. Way too too too OTT for my own taste, and the way the apprentices were all oohing and awwing at it was kind of funny because they HAD to of course. Trump probably wouldn't look too kindly on anyone who dissed his living conditions. | |||||

| Not espresso, but... I just read that Jasper Morrison has done a percolator for someone or other. Looks a bit like an i-Pod. Alas he didn't dare ask the question: what is the point of this utterly obscure and not-particularly-efficient way of making coffee? ...I've never understood how percolators ever got off the drawing board: the idea that you make coffee by boiling the water really slowly, then dripping it - painfully slowly - through the granules and a gauze...where it doesn't get a chance to really soak through and leaves a trail of spare parts and me ... | |||||

| Horta House Gerrit, I visited this house 10 years ago. Impressive, certainly, but it had an atmosphere I didn't really take to,not being a great admirer of Art Nouveau. Enjoyed some of the Le Corbusier interiors in France, though. | |||||

| You're right. English is... You're right. English is not my native tongue, Senegalese is. Regardless, the word "design" is in design-addicts and I mistook design addicts to be those who are "addicted" to design and yes, seek beauty (as the purpose of design). Perhaps you should have wrote to and about the "looks-addicts" on a different web site and I would have agreed with you but you didn't. Incidentally, I don't think I am the only one who mistook "beauty" for "looks" in your original string. | |||||
| Beauty before function sometimes? | 1 Relevance | 23 years ago | Annette.sco | General discussion | |
| Beauty before function sometimes? We had a previous long (though interesting) thread on this, so thought I'd just briefly suggest Starck's Juicy Salif as a possible example of a successful design where the purpose isn't immediately obvious. Although it was mostly admitted that this juicer didn't do the job as well as the traditional (and very cheap) glass one, it did apparently have considerable added value as a decorative object that looked well on a windowsill or could be used (in moments of domestic triumph) as a World Cup substitute! | |||||
