	oh yes	1 Relevance	19 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	oh yes and the mulhauser chair does not have these mechanical flaws with the exception of the very early bases failing (mine did, thats why i found it in the trash). plycraft and mulhauser changed the base design fairly quickly though. did 670s not start failing till after eames died? its not the case that he would not change a problematic issues in one of his designs. he did it on other ones. also the mulhauser chair does not have the height issues. It is my belief that there are far more psychological issues at play in the appreciation of the 670 than its ...

	... be godlike. At a certain point Bender encounters a giant nebulous that talks to him. Bender asks if the nebulous is 'god' and the nebulous answers "perhaps" and then speaks about the qualities of being "god". To quote directly: Bender: "I was a god for a little while" Nebulous: "I saw. you were doing fine, until everyone died" The nebulous goes on to explain that being a god (or intelligent designer) requires a subtle finesse to coax people along when they need it, but not to be heavy handed. To "do something and make it appear as though you've done no ...

You could could also produce this design from EPS (expanded polystyrene foam) and curve the elements when looking at it in plan view

	Antonella,	1 Relevance	20 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Antonella, You asked for comments. I thought about it. I gave them. My criteria for a great design are: 1. it has to function well; and 2. it has to make me feel a lot better than I did before I experienced it. If it does these two things, then I think it is worth going to the trouble of understanding the philosophy and aesthetics the designer used to make me feel decisively better. When I dig in, sometimes I find he's an original, sometimes I find he's a borrower, and most times I find he's a combination. But what I look for even more is if this design was ...
	I Know about Moreddi!	1 Relevance	20 years ago	good4good	General discussion
	... with a number of designers and manufacturers. In the 1960's Frank Bros. & Moreddi split with Ron Frank (my father & Morry's son) taking over all of Frank Bros. & Ed Frank taking over all of Moreddi. Ed sold Moreddi in the early 1970's to DUX furniture. Morry Frank died in early 1960. Ed Frank just passed away in 2005. My family still has the beautiful stamps that were used to mark the furniture they imported from Scandinavia. If you are interested in more information I would be happy to hook you up with my father. He is always happy to talk to people ab ...
	Here's a blurb	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Here's a blurb The actual magazine was "Modernism", but I couldnt find a link. I did find this summary: "Naughty naughty. What a scandal. Well, OK, it's is not exactly National Enquirer material, but in the less than salacious world of furniture design, trust me this is juicy. Now pay attention. You see that plywood chair down there, well, it was created in 1958 by the American designer, Norman Cherner (1920- 86, below). Commissioned by Paul Goldman, the previous year, Goldman's company, Plycraft, had been engaged to make George Nelson's loop-backed Pretzel ...

	Slight correction... Apparently the honorable Mr. Wegner died 1/26/07. His family just announced it today after they held their own private funeral and memorial services. Condolences to his family and a heartfelt thank you to Hans Wegner for a life well lived and for the creation of a life worth living.
	Anyone else recall?	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Anyone else recall? Does anyone else recall seeing Eames chairs at MoMA - and not as museum 'objects'? I'm kinda fascinated by this idea that something is on display in one part of the museum, and in use in others. -and also because I've acquired some shells that the previous owner say come from MoMA. They are black & parchment stacking shells. He thinks they came from the auditorium. His aunt worked at MoMA and nabbed a few chairs when she left. She's recently died so he cannot ask her. I know it's almost impossible to prove direct provenance, but its ...

My parents gave it to my granddmother in 1967 when they no longer had a space for it and first saw it in a small flat in London, with my Grandmother sat upon it!. When she died 2 years ago aged 97 my mother gave the chair to me. It has been, yo might say, lived in.

	Wright's Little d Democratic public buildings: Synthesizing with Byzantium Pt. 1 There is a Wright building in Phoenix or Tempe, maybe near ASU, that fits in with...the Marin Civic Center form language. It was finished soon after he died and it is often given the asterisk of having been finished by his associates and so is not totally a work by Wright. Its some kind of convention or convocation center, maybe even a smallish sports arena. If I recall correctly, it has some of the arch treatment the Marin Civic Center has also. I've been to both. The Marin Civ ...

	... facade. All the details of the building feel very modern but it's a modern that seems to have become an evolutionary dead end. No one else took his last ideas and carried them on successfully. His ideas and style pretty much died with him and he's been filed as a brilliant side note in the history of architecture. I've talked to people who work in the center and they love it. Not just because it's a cool looking building but because it works, it's a good place to be in. It's fun, it's comfortable, it's logical. I think in his later years I think Wright fina ...
