	... you buying a vintage example, wich makes a clear difference in cost. You could always buy a vintage 'knock-off', these were in the days also produced buy other companies. I have a large round one, wich I bought in a secondhand shop for 20?. I like it, but have to say, the quality of the Nelson ones is supreme in comparison. If you would follow the dynamics of the forum, you would've noticed many members have very clear priorities and taste. Robert, for instance, seems to be collecting very fine executed danish design. He makes a very knowledgable impression ...

	Thanks so much for your... Thanks so much for your response shipwright, but I've examined the chair closely and I really don't see any evidence of restaining or reconditioning of any type. Also, the screws don't seem to me to be any different that those on any of the other chairs listed on any of the major auction sites. What makes you think they're more recent? This chair was purchased at a local auction site, not via Ebay -- and although it wasn't cheap, there's really no reason to believe anyone was trying to pass this off as anything other than what it ...

	Heath hit the nail on the head... Beauty is often misconstrued as art. Not so. And yes, this is a can of worms. It involves philosophy as well as theology. Depending on one's ethos, the difference can be radical. Although I do think there is a relative truth in there somewhere. As I think whitespike said, there are grey areas however.
	I'd say	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... name, with as old a history as any other influence on the artist -- wouldn't you say ? As for the difference between art and design, I hold that the differences and the similarities are self-evident -- and that there is only a hair's breadth of difference between the two. Is there enough of a difference to justify the two discrete terms ? Yes, because there is a difference between them. But the similarities, the parallels, of both thought and action, unify art and design as in no other pair of disciplines I can think of, offhand . . .

	Mark you are looking ... Mark you are looking mighty sharp in those red Gucci's and if you are like me you like eyeglasses, did not want to brag but i got 5 knock out pair made by Mark Dolabany. The glasses i got are the arnolds original reproductions and dead ringers of the tart arnels. I have many originals and these are so close you can't tell the difference. his website is dolabanyeyewear.com

	... out for awhile, and LOOK at several hundred non representational sculptures. I suspect that if one REALLY LOOKS, some sculptures will look better than others. Then it becomes simple to see that something is going on in the good ones. After many years of looking, you should be able to tell the difference between firewood and sculpture. (Just like its easy to see the difference between a knockoff and an Eames Lounger after a while)
	Flag vs Scan	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Bonefish Bob	General discussion
	Flag vs Scan Foxxxy, How's the dry time on the Flag? That was one of the attributes of the Scan*Care that I really liked. After applying it with a light rub, it was dry to the touch in no time at all. Do have to admit the price is quite a bit better on the Flag than the Scan. Besides the unspecified, selected oils, the only difference in the solvents appears to be Isoparaffinic hydro carbons in the Scan and Gum Turpentine for the Flag.

	pics of the sputnik these are pictures of the one i picked up last weekend. couldn't find anything (i may be blind) on the label for lincoln. the other difference from some sputniks that i've seen is the bottom. mine doesn't have the protruding nub. anyone know what i'm talking about?

	... really help bring you closer to your answer. ps: watch the sale date / year as things sold around 2007 will scew results as the market was hot, you should see a difference generally post 2008...look for later results and see if they are beginning to even out and take your average from those.
	this pedestal = revolting waste	1 Relevance	15 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	... where kids wear shoes with their feet cramped and come to school without jackets. We have vowed not to waste our meager income on wasteful things. I must admit, I was first in line to save up a regrettable percentage of my earnings for the finer things. To an extent this is okay, who am I to judge? But the amount spent on this underwhelming piece is disgusting. I don't mean to be a sore, but how many shoes and jackets would this buy for our children? They are not riff raffs who can go work. They are our innocent, who we allow to suffer while we sit in awe o ...

	... Knoll changed, but now if you look a the current design of the Bertoia side chairs (I assume the entire Bertoia line), you'll notice it's sportier and squatty with thicker gauged wire. I rather the vintage...more timeless. I actually walked into DWR and asked the really pretty saleswomen of the difference between vintage and current day design Bertoias....deer in headlights. http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th...

	... that needed gluing. This is good, because at $66/yard (including the $3 charge for acrylic backing finishing) the Steelcut is not inexpensive. On the other hand, I wondered if there will be any discernible textural difference between the portions of the chair covered with backed versus un-backed fabric...I hope not. Heath, thanks for pointing me toward that interesting article. I hope that Maharam wouldn't recommend the acrylic backing for a glued chair if it wouldn't hold the adhesive, but again trust but verify. It has definitely been a learning process f ...

	Agreed. Nice, articulately stated point of view. Never thought about the difference between the two.
	Absolutely	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Absolutely Design has, to an extent, plateaued. If you consider the radical difference in 'design' of the 20 years between, say, 1900 and 1920 there is nothing like the enormity of change these days that there was in the past. Koen, as ever, was spot on when he talked about the zeitgeist and how it affects contemporary design, of the collective design consciousness - call it fashion if you like. I think, however, some contemporary designers are less guarded about their influences than they perhaps once were, and are more happy nowadays to talk about their in ...

	... own design. This world would be a sad place indeed without people who come up with original ideas. I think they (or their heirs in these instances) deserve to benefit. Fakes are pretentious. The very definition of pretension is to pretend to be something one is not. A house full of knock-off furniture says quite a lot, I think, about its inhabitant. Even if the only difference between a real Barcelona and a fake is the license certificate -- well, that's all the difference in the world to me. But in any case, I've never seen a fake live up to the real thing ...
