	Technical terms are often	1 Relevance	8 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	Technical terms are often very useless for this sort of thing because nobody else uses the technical terms, or uses them correctly. I believe the technical term for those are splines, and that is a form of spline joint, but there are lots of different forms of spline joints. The best thing to do is to learn where someone else might have posted such a thing on the internet who could give you a lead as to who designed it, and then be prepared to look at hundreds or thousands of broadly similar pieces. One of the best ways to broaden your thinking on this matter is to actually try and identify other things for other people that are generally similar, as in danish modern pieces, because you will often look for sideboards and see a bunch of chairs. Resist the urge to craft a better search term. Craft worse ones and many of them. I know exactly who made and designed it and roughly when, but per your request I won't say.
	Thanks for the book tip!	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Thanks for the book tip! I live is a small subdivision now that has a covenant and I've learaned a fair amount about them since living here. Many of them are simply not legally enforceable, some are downright exclusionist. they have a sordid history, having first been invented to maintain segregationist neighborhoods in the US. One thing I have learned is that they are used in preset subdivisions they usually don't apply to buying raw land that hasn't got a road or power run yet. That's the kind of thing we're looking at...real middle of nowhere type stuff
	Pirelli webbing	1 Relevance	13 years ago	brbeard	General discussion
	Hi all - I'm in the process of replacing the Pirelli webbing on my couch (Nelson loose cushion group), and I've realized that I don't know exactly how tight to pull this stuff. I've got the stretcher, which I'm using, but...you know I can crank this thing to varying levels of "give". Google hasn't provided much assistance here, and I'd hate to finish this thing only to realize that I've done the job poorly, since this isn't the sort of job that you can make adjustments on after the fact...so, does anyone have any upholstering experience with Pirelli? If so, please let me know!

	Whoever supplies them, it's i... Whoever supplies them, it's in your best interest that they tell the real story. Otherwise, isn't it illegal to sell something that is misrepresented? And if they do indeed represent your products, even marginally well, what you sell are not reproductions (if you REPRODUCE something you would be producing the SAME EXACT thing again). Rather they are knock-offs. Like I said earlier, a design addict would NOT be interested in such a thing. Some won't even buy a reproduction (example: a Modernica Eames shell), but I'm willing to bet none would buy some silly cartoonish version of a swan chair.

	sorry that chair is not re... sorry that chair is not real . the Herman Miller arm pads have a s curve on the cording . i see none of that only a L shape. Every thing that leaves Herman Miller has a label. no way it was hidden. They check every thing that leaves the factory and has a initial of the worker.
	Well, if it makes you feel	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Spanky	Repair
	Well, if it makes you feel any better, I messed up on a couple of the crosses in the 3 things I did with this pattern. It's very easy to do. It's also the kind of thing that does not stand out at all when you're done so don't sweat it too much. And another consolation: if you do end up redoing the entire thing, it will go faster the second time. The learning curve takes about one chair and then it goes much more smoothly. I re-wove a set of Wegner "cowhorn" chairs (different weave, same cane) years ago and the first one was an absolute nightmare. I finished it but was dreading having to do three more. But they were a breeze because by then I actually knew what I was doing. Whew!

	amazing... part one, part two and the peacock chair. The woven seat of the peacock! A beautiful thing. A really beautiful thing to watch.
	I don't think	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I don't think it's Pearsall. He did a lot of legs like that front thing but they were always on the side. I like the rest of the chair's style but that thing in the front just looks like it should be on the side. It makes me think that the designer was trying to do something different but all he could think of was to do a 90 degree turn on the leg base shape that others had already done. I want to take it off and stick it on the side along with another one---or just trash it and put some tapered legs on the front. I think you did well to keep walking.

	hoorah, how sweet it is to... hoorah, how sweet it is to get friendly interested responses to a post that doesn't mention Eames or Mies! Perhaps this log-on thing will be worth it. I just read some Chihuly quotes and sadly I can't imagine him wanting to market his work as consumables, a sad thing beacsue its so alive and violent and uncontained, makes my orrefors and kosta boda look like corpses. Thanks - Heath,

	I'm not sure...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Dr_Pepper105	General discussion
	I'm not sure... Hello Whitespike! What part of Austin are you living in? I'm somewhat central. I too have noticed the same thing you have. I tend to like it so far... but could see a problem with it in the future. The thing I love about Austin is the variety of house styles. I have heard something about a ban on the more modern styles in certain neighborhoods though. Have you scoped out any good vintage places lately? Austin Moder and Room Service are both pretty good!
	Yeah, but it has all the design style of a military bunker!	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Yeah, but it has all the design style of a military bunker! Sorry but I don't think it's at all attractive. The cost of that brand and the look of the thing is definite turn off for me. At least the Nelson clock is lovely to look at and the timing accuracy is fine for my needs. Heck, if the movement burns out over time it will be simple to replace it. The patek likely involves a team of Swiss engineers to do a 6-month feasibility study to even approach a repair. Not that this is likely to happen, though, I'll give you that. The thing would likely last through a nuclear attack.
	Seeing at the Almazan credit	1 Relevance	9 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Seeing at the Almazan credit is worth much, much less than the Mogens Koch prototype credit, I would tend to be more charitable towards it. I would still like to see a marked chair, or a vintage advert or something, though. As a general rule, the higher the value attached to the designer/maker, the higher the bar of proof. Once in a while you see this sort of thing, where a company takes a design that is not available (or minimally available) in a certain market, and makes a very good, quality copy of the design. It may not be 100% accurate to call it a knockoff, because that means a cheaper version of the real thing for less. I don't really know what the proper term is for this sort of thing. Usually if it is a respected designer who is responsible for this sort of copy, then everybody sort of ignores it. For instance, there is a 'BKF Butterfly' chair that was "designed" by Verner Panton for Bovirke in Denmark. It seems to be rare, or it is so identical to the others, that it can't be distinguished.
	🙂	1 Relevance	17 years ago	brnki (SVK)	General discussion
	🙂 This is the thing I wanted to put in discussion also 🙂 as I saw it mentioned in the blog. On one hand I find the new version quite practical in way of drawing, as it offers various alternatives for mark it leaves on a paper... And I really appreciate the fact you can color big surface at once 🙂 I remember as I always unpacked those traditional ones out from that paper cover 🙂 the only thing I would be afraid of is the fact that it might break more easily into small parts, one would have problem to draw with 🙂 but well.. this is maybe just an argument not to sound too positive 🙂
