	... the desired outcome: provide a modest financial incentive to those with money to spend. As for the Wright houses in the Los Angeles area: as far as I know, only the Ennis-Brown house (the last and largest of the Textile Block houses) has been used as a movie set -- I believe "Blade Runner" is one example. The Millard house ("La Miniatura") in Pasadena, the first block house, the Storer house (restored and owned by Joel Silver, a movie producer) and the Sturges house are in private hands, while the Barnsdall, Freeman and Ennis-Brown houses are owned by inst ...

	Wait, wait -- Is Mod 2.0 the second wave (or first "revival") of Modernism (Mod 1.0) ? This is the sense of DCW's initial question, as I get it. Or is Mod 2.0 "Postmodernism" -- as Koen seems to be using the term? I had thought Postmodernism had died (and gone to Hell?) -- at least insofar as the most egregious architectural examples. Was I wrong? (Maybe that was just wishful thinking.) Wasn't Memphis "Postmod"? I would think that when Postmod first appeared, some of its proponents or supporters might have claimed it to be "the new modern" -- or Mod 2.0 ...

	... while Rohde was design director of HM, and then was the first person hired by Nelson when Nelson took over the reins from Rohde when the latter died. (Abercrombie at 92). Only Nelson & Farmer worked on the first collection for HM. And Farmer is described as "reporti[ing] daily to Nelson's office in teh Empire State building to discuss Nelson's ideas, and every night he would revise the drawings as Nelson wanted." Unfortunately, nothing more is known about Farmer. (6) Harper, of course, is far better known, almost entirely because of the single article in ...
	According to Craig Kellogg,	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	According to Craig Kellogg, a contract in 1965 gave Knoll exclusive rights to "the use of Mies's name. . .", meaning "Mies van der Rohe, ' presumably, not "Barcelona," and that when Mies died four years later, that right was transferred to the entity of MOMA. What has previously been said of any design rights?

You are I are among the few who will acknowledge her sexuality.Annette, who brought up the topic of Eileen Gray will not touch the subject.I guess she feels Grays life had no impact on her work?She was kind to say she died in 1976.

	Maybe,	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Maybe, but this thread dissapointed me. I thought I would get some interesting stuff out of it. But it got reduced to the use of language, which to me is a pallid cop-out, and then it died. No one who posts here uses english so poorly that they cannot be understood. Some folks post with such brevity that their meaning cannot be understood, but that's not the same thing. No, I don't think language is at fault.

	. Deacon, yes, there were a few promising threads started - which then died. Maybe everyone is enjoying the summer too much. It's been raining all day in Edinburgh (and more tomorrow, the rivers are on flood alert) so I could do with something interesting to think about.
	RIP Henry Fisker	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	One of the greatest danish wood workers, Henry Fisker, died at the age of 91. He was an important figure at PP Mobler, where he worked as a craftsman for more than 50 years. According to the company he developed countless prototypes, mostly for Wegner-Chairs. He was the one who contrived the way to produce the wooden construction for Wegner's circle chair which even Wegner himself thought was impossible to produce. There is this amazing film about danish furniture on youtube, which you probably all have watched countless times, as I did. From Minute 51 on y ...

	... Alexandre Noll, a French craft woodworker who died in 1970, now undergo the sharpest scrutiny. "I've been offered so many pieces of Noll," said Peter Loughrey, the owner of Los Angeles Modern Auctions. "Someone has to figure out where they're coming from. The pieces are naïve, and his signature is simple. Was this guy working 20 hours a day for 60 years? I'm very skeptical." Making the situation worse is the fact that dealers and auction house specialists have done most of the research into a field that is still finding its historical feet. "The problem is, ...

[A "true believer," wasn't he?] "The need for that kind of intelligence at Herman Miller is far more important today, with concepts like Action Office and Co/Struc, than it was in Rohde's day.

	... up wholly the creative people he hired to design. Gilbert Rohde brought modern design to the company in 1930; he died in 1944, and in 1945 George Nelson fortuitously appeared to take up the reins (after De Pree had considered both Erich Mendelssohn and Rusell Wright). Nelson and Henry Wright had written their article for Architectural Forum, describing Storagewall; this was brought to the attention of De Pree. The "middleman" wrote, "George said he knew nothing about furniture design, but would love to do it. Then he began talking about what needed to be ...
