| At last we get to see the virgins! The only difference between them seems to be that those in the top row look happy while those in the bottom row don't. It doesn't seem to say which are good and which are bad... | |||||

| This message.... comes up from time to time, and I have to agree that the price Wright offered you was (considering mark-ups etc.) a realistic one. As mentioned by tynellbuyer this is not a prototype, it could be a study model, but even then tynellbuyer's comments apply. If you have a documented personal link to the this product or to the reasons why it was made, it could make a difference, but this is no "Antiques Road Show" where knowledgeable people quote "value" but not the price you could sell it for to an auction house or trader. | |||||
| Dear Antonella (Sorry SDR I was away for a few days...) | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| ... Pear trees can be found in every region of this sunny country. I am also sure there is a lot of truth in Antonella's grand-mother story. As usual with traditional stories, they are a kind of packaging to support one's memory by making sure that some basic knowledge and values will not be forgotten. (a lot of the older ones were put together in a book called the bible) As most fruit bearing trees, pear tree is a dense wood. It has the advantage over olive tree that it is very stable in drying. This stability is the result of the combination of two factors: d ... | |||||

| Thanks Peg, good additional... Thanks Peg, good additional info to know. Some those finer details aren't available in Julh's monographs by E. Hirot. As I was examining the photos, there seems some difference in the arm rest. Particularly the height near the front legs. Could be that there's a variation in the down curve of the armrest? Veering off course here, a highly flamboyant evolution of the Chieftain chair? Everytime I see it, I'm reminded of Juhl's chair ("Bwana" chair too) . Pictured below Sergios Rodriguez's Aspas chair. | |||||

| ... Reich, the so often overlooked genius actually worked for Joseph Hoffmann in Vienna from, 1909 on. But one has to consider that she left when she was 26 years old. I guess that 3 years would be enough to pick up some of Hoffmann's fundamental ideas, but she has proven many times over not to be just a sponge. She also joint the teaching staff at the Bauhaus, but if I remember well, not before L.Mies van der Rohe became director. So let's say earliest 1930, but most likely a year or two later. Which is 3,2 or one year before the Bauhaus was closed. I do not t ... | |||||

| Consumer If you email Knoll directly, they can authenticate it for you. A few years ago, I emailed them a photo of what I thought was a real Saarinen Executive rolling desk chair. A customer service rep emailed me back to tell me it wasn't Knoll and just a very good copy, and showed me photos from their product archives and told me how to tell the difference. It took a couple of weeks for the reply, but in the end they were very helpful people! | |||||

| Vintage is less expensive... ...but there's no major design or construction difference. As far as I can tell, they're making new chairs basically the same way they made the old ones. Of course, there are small differences: The frame welds were slightly different in the very early days, and I'm pretty sure that the glides changed a couple times over the years. New foam is different (better) than old foam. Some old fabrics are no longer available, but there are lots of new fabrics. Oh, and you can buy smaller sizes now. | |||||

Now, many will point to what seem to be extremely popular, and/or financially successful mixed use projects and say, "I think the evidence is that we DO know what we are doing." B ... | |||||

| ... recipe books that tell me how to make things like 'Flips' which are rum or whiskey and egg white whipped into a foam. Nowadays, I make excellent cocktails. The reason is simple. It's not that I can flip the bottles in the air or pour cascading fountains, that stuff's just silly showmanship, it's because I use the best ingredients and I pay atention to the details. A good vermouth does indeed enhance a Martini, but it's got to be the good stuff. I recommend Via by Quaddy Vineyards. It's superb. I make my own pickled green beans to garnish with.

| Am I a broken record? | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| Am I a broken record? Vintage is better, vintage is better, vintage is better... Well, in many cases, in my opinion, it really is. It's that same old expression, "they don't make them like they used to". With regards to a womb chair, I don't know if it makes a huge difference, the new ones seem OK, but having seen different generations of them stripped to their fiberglass shell, there really is a difference. The old ones are much more substantial. Same with other Saarinen pieces. I recently had the vintage Saarinen side chairs we use in our kitchen reupholst ... | |||||
