| Language differences | 2 Relevance | 22 years ago | Annette.sco | General discussion | |
| Language differences I think azure chicken is making an interesting point - any differences in the way 'design' and 're-design' are used in all the languages that you speak, Jan, Koan, Gerrit, etc, One difference in English is that "re-design" can be used in a negative sense - for example in a certain context it could suggest that a designer is not original, or has been overly influenced by other people. I think there was a post claiming this about Karim Rashid. I can't think of a negative use of design, apart from the joke in the all too-common use of the ... | |||||
| The main difference I think i... | 2 Relevance | 23 years ago | mathias | General discussion | |
| The main difference I think i... The main difference I think is, that modernism was based on the idea that form should follow function, as said by the architect Sullivan. A product was seen as a tool to fulfil a goal. In post-modernism, a product became a sign, a symbol. So the accent shifted from function to idea. I know it is a quite simplistic answer, but I hope someone else can help. | |||||

| ... caught up in that "Magazine Factor" as I like to call it..especially those in my major. Most of them think architecture here in Vegas is crap. I disagree for the most part. I mean, Yeah Vegas is no LA or Chicago by any means, its still a young city. I could look at some few gas stations, shopping plazas, in town where I think they serve a great vernaculars to the public.. Every building has its purpose and if it is open to the public they will ultimately determine its purpose. Do not misunderstand me by this. I do not mean that people go into a bank want it ... | |||||
| RE: Difference between Modernica and Herman Miller shell chairs with dowel legs | 2 Relevance | 4 years ago | tktoo2 | General discussion | |
| I think I remember reading somewhere that when HM reintroduced the "dowel" bases, they widened the stance to make them more stable in use. In this particular detail, the Modernica version may be more accurate to the original base design which, as I understand, was only offered for a very short period (1951-'53?) due to durability issues ...which would explain why early, all-original DAWs (Dining Armchair Wood) are so rare. Nearly all older-edition DAWs listed for sale have reproduction bases on them, so caveat emptor! | |||||
| RE: Illums Bolighus marked dining chairs | 2 Relevance | 6 years ago | lexi | Identification | |
| If you do an image search it is interesting to note that the chair was also produced with the centre part of the backrest upholstered. This could explain some of the colour difference 🤔 Hansen produced chairs in teak and rosewood. | |||||
| RE: Illums Bolighus marked dining chairs | 2 Relevance | 6 years ago | frankielemmons | Identification | |
| @lexi indeed. I was assuming the color difference was largely due to the end pieces being end grain, while the middle part is face grain. I can't imagine such nice wood being used in the upholstered versions. I am pretty confident these are rosewood now. Also, I noticed that some examples have side stretchers and other do not. | |||||

| @hannekes What do you mean by discoloration? The darker spots on the left side or the color difference between the left and the right side? | |||||

| Thanks for your reply. I mean the difference between the left and the right side. | |||||
| RE: Discoloration | 2 Relevance | 5 years ago | Raijin | Repair | |
| Yeah, I'm not sure I would call that a discoloration, those are 2 different pieces of wood, they may have been close in color years ago but they have aged differently and what you are seeing it just a natural difference in the aging of the wood and stain. Tape it and apply a color to the lighter side to get it as close to the right as possible. Then remove tape and apply more color to both sides to blend. It doesn't need to match exactly as you can clearly see the grain is different where the 2 pieces of veneer meet. | |||||
| I disagree... | 2 Relevance | 22 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| I disagree... I have quite a few very good friends from outside the US. All of them are just as concerned with the price and value of things as I am. We are all trying to live well on an average person's income in our own respective nations. While I may have spent more money on my sofa, my friend from Germany has a lot of money invested in his stereo system. My friends from Sweden have a very luxurious sauna, which they are proud to tell me how much money they had to save to get it. In the UK, my friend has spent at least a year's income on his tiny, but lov ... | |||||
| Danish dining chairs ID | 2 Relevance | 7 years ago | lexi | Identification | |
| I am trying to find a maker/ designer for these chairs or any other information that anyone can add. Very similar to Hans Olsens chairs for Frem Rojle ( slight difference in backrest profile/width and rear stretcher shape). While searching I have come across the same chairs attributed to Farso. However have not found any marked with Farso but they do have the made in Denmark stamp as well as the furniture control mark. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

| Is this an Ole Wanscher dining table? | 2 Relevance | 7 years ago | danish nut | Identification | |
| I have had the rosewood dining table in the photos belwo for about a year now and have been unable to definitely attribute it. It is high quality with great brazilian roseood veneers, a moulded edge,deep apron and the feel of an early piece......has old fashioned wing nuts securing the legs. Have seen Ole Wanscher for AJ Iverson tables of a simlar shape but with detailed points of difference. Any help in identifying this would be greatly appreciated Attachment: IMG_3726.jpg Attachment: 44181bb4-9cbe-4ad0-8f65-3603eb460036.jpg Attachment: IMG_3659.jpg ... | |||||
| RE: Really dissatisfied with new Eames Lounge Chair - other owners' experiences appreciated | 2 Relevance | 7 years ago | davidhunternyc | General discussion | |
| ... align with Charles and Ray Eames's vision. The new Herman Miller versions are inferior. Period. Go to Herman Miller or Design Within Reach and sit in the chairs. Afterwards, seek out generation 1 and 2 chairs and you will immediately be able to see and feel the difference. To say that this is entirely a subjective is like saying that the cheap, plastic, Eames "replica" shell chairs on Amazon are as good as the original early fiberglass chairs that collectors covet. | |||||
