| You have a point bobbdavs | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| You have a point bobbdavs I probably should not draw a distinction between new or old members. Having been a participant here for a while does not excuse rude remarks. However, (and I'm not here to defend Riki) if you only look at the first reply that elicited the "blow me" I think she was expressing a bit of disbelief at the question of value and having a bit of fun with the Walmart crack. The point being that if a hunk of garbage at Walmart is $160, how can $200 be "too much" for a quality vintage piece. When I read the initial post I too wondered what the ... | |||||

| Thanks, Paul Mayen seems to... Thanks, Paul Mayen seems to have designed a lamp back in the 60's just about identical to my two lamps. Only difference is mine are all chrome but his have a shade of powder coated metal. The base and the shape /design are the same. I think this must be a P.M. lamp or he copied Florence Knoll which I highly doubt. Thanks so much for your knowledge. DW | |||||

| Yeah, I got the | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Yeah, I got the same effect, for a minute, after you mentioned it. But both backs are correctly installed. I think the difference is that one's "smiling" and one "frowning," due to the position of the camera . . . The Eames Collection chair is shot in such a way that we see the screw pattern on the bottom of the seat. Unique ! Interesting to see that both examples of the rosewood chair seem to have a yellower seat and a redder back. I wonder if the difference in orientation (horizontal vs vertical) could have resulted in different daylight-fading -- on ... | |||||

| Buy a new one today. Order exactly what you want, get it in a couple weeks, and enjoy owning it every time you use it. You'll forget about the potential cost difference between it and some imaginary vintage table almost immediately. | |||||
| If you're serious | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| If you're serious about this table design -- which I think is quite promising, in fact -- and you have the rest of the semester, you might think about making more than one example, trying different effects -- material choices, construction details, finishes -- which will teach you in multiple ways and also make a fine impression at the final crit. Yes, everyone, including educators, is prone to bias toward or against any number of choices, including tool selection. It goes with the territory. I can say that, having worked in seven or eight workshops during ... | |||||
| Your best bet is buying online-- | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| Your best bet is buying online-- Google "IES reflector" and you should get tons of results-- there are many different sizes, shapes, and textures available. You need to determine the appropriate size, paying careful attention to the "fitter" size, measuring the corresponding part of your Lightolier, and visualizing how it would look sitting in that ring. Before actually buying the reflector, you should try to choose the drum shade you'll use with it-- that way, you can best coordinate the two elements depending on what's available. The shade you've chosen w ... | |||||
| Thanks Fastfwd | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | Modern Millie | General discussion | |
| Thanks Fastfwd Your photos help a lot. Yes, from looking at photos online and trying to gauge comfort, it seems these cushions are about an inch too thick (see the photos I've taken below). One inch is seems negligible, but it makes a difference. It's also *extremely firm*! Much firmer than our Papa Bear seat cushion, which is 4" thick and definitely softer foam and much more comfortable (Papa was reupholstered several years ago by a prior owner). - will "high density foam" compress? - Any thoughts on what foam density/foam number I should request? And Fastf ... | |||||

| ... for a handmade lamp. If price is more important to you than the little details, then get a Chinese paper lantern. If details are more important to you than price, then either save for a new Nelson or scavenge for a used Nelson. Getting the little details right is all the difference between low-cost goods and high-cost goods. If you can find a way around this stubborn technicality, I suggest you go into the lamp business. | |||||

| any risks to not using "their" companies? Thank you so much Danielmpool, that is very helpful! I am definitely going to look into the delivery auction sites you mentioned. To those who have bought on Lauritz: what is your experience; are they reliable? And do you think it is safe not to use "their" transport companies? Or is there no difference? Thanks again! I really appreciate this site | |||||
| Comparison with a chicago eames version | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | pepito | General discussion | |
| Comparison with a chicago eames version I made a comparison of fiber density with an official chair from chicagoo factory and I can see much difference. I have some relationship with the seller and would like to show him where it comes from... Think it's a scam... As freedomBigelow suggest, does anyone know whiteonwhite logo? Also the story the seller told me that the eames did mass series for hospitals and universities, anyone know anything about this? Thanks | |||||

| I believe he's saying that he... I believe he's saying that he only bought these items because he'd just seen the same thing somewhere else with a high price tag on it. He did not particularly like or want them, he only bought them because he knew that someone else thought they were valuable. He is asking if that is buying for the sake of buying or is it greed (though i'm not sure what the difference is). I think it's the beginning of a hoarding habit! Be careful! Or you will get into selling stuff as a hobby or maybe as a part time job. Either way, it's ... | |||||

| ... justify an exclusive price. In the case of an Eames lounge, of course there is a difference between a vintage Herman Miller in Brazilian rosewood for several grand and a generic high street one for a couple of hundred. But in the case of a lampshade made of sprayed vinyl, starting at £350, going all the way to £1500, which others on here have attested does not represent good value for money, bearing in mind its fragility... well that's ridiculous. It's not that I can't muster up 300 quid. I'll happily pay that for something that is durable. It's that I just ... | |||||
