| Design in a strict economical way... | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Design in a strict economical way... is to create a difference between the costs of producing a product and the value of the final result. The greater the difference the more value has been created. This is an enormous effort and a incredible waste of material to make an object of which the cost exceeds by far the value...no matter how limited the series. It's technological value can be neglected. These technologies existed 20 years ago and finally it's cultural value is limited to as blatantly as possible ignore the realities of the world we live in and the ... | |||||

| It is unusual to see a production piece with leaves of veneer wider that 9 or 10 inches -- unless the veneer is rotary cut, not common for hardwood veneers. One of the qualities of book-matched (as opposed to slip-matched) veneers is that the seams can almost (or completely) disappear, because the grain on either side of the joint is literally identical. If the grain is straight enough and perfectly parallel to the seam, and the specie and cut are such that there isn't a difference in the way light reflects from the front and the back of the veneer (which ... | |||||

| ... But, as pointed out by fastfwd it is a classic of the end of a period. I agree that there are a number of interesting technologies incorporated in this HM design, but it certainly does not take into account all we know about the seating position and how it affects in the short and long term our physical condition. Furthermore it has become the symbol for working conditions that none of us really wants: It expresses and perpetuates the difference between blue and white collar workers (how many Aeron chairs have we seen behind machines where workers are indee ... | |||||

| ... and little ads in the backs of major magazines; clearly it continues to be a "hot" item. did it not take current new technology, and ergonomic issues, and make of them a cutting-edge product ? Is it a rare example of what Koen sees as missing in the furniture segment ? As for cars, I can point to one forward-thinking group who have taken the car apart and re-thought it, as a weight-saving and lean-manufactured composite structure. There is (or should be) questions as to the power source chosen to mate with this body shell, but at least barriers are being ... | |||||

| It's nearly over for me. From her own mouth she said she hates what she does and is only doing it to make a living.. difference with me is I love what I do and have worked hard to make a living out of it for my family. It's stopped for me now as with their dirty tricks and have managed amazingley to really disrupt my trade on e bay. I have not retaliated nor replied to the vicious mails as quite honestly I am just to busy. This week all my items have been pulled and I have the time to open the can about them here. | |||||

| Perhaps there's a clue for me, in your last remark: perhaps the difference now is that there's so much more media, which needs content, so that we see a great deal more creative work -- both the great and the pedestrian ? Rather than just the cream of the crop -- the names you cite, for instance -- we see every permutation and derivation imaginable ? | |||||

| ... eventhough they're not environmentally friendly. The other Modernica works like the Wegner knock-offs are nothing less than a disgrace. PP Mobler is the original manufacturer and still makes these masterworks in the same manner as fifty years ago with all quality aspects to it. The difference between licensed and original is also illustrated by the fact that manufacturers regularly modify the designs or production techniques to today's standards which is not necessarily a bad thing but which raises purist's eyebrows nonetheless. As a purist I wouldn't advis ... | |||||
| POA | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| POA I try my best not to use POA, but because of where I'm located, most of my sales are on the internet. Either directly to dealers and designers out of state, on eBay or to local clients. The local clients make up the least amount of sales, but because of the amount of work that goes into online and eBay, they get the "best price" - there is no shipping involved, advertising fees. The items on eBay have the "highest price" because the fees to sell there are high, as well as the payPal fees. Its all very confusing, but the last thing I want is an eBay c ... | |||||

I don't have any exposure as to how this works in the product or furnishing design fields, but I sure have seen it work in the world of drug development. But you are right this is one of those things that tangle people up. It's like a cultural difference or a socialogical one. I believe the law allows the development of reproductions or as I am more familiar with, generics. Other people believe that these repros/generics are unfair to the designer or ... | |||||
| Not a fan... | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Not a fan... It might come as a surprise to some but I am not a big Jean Prouvé fan. Most of the time his constructions are over dimensioned, the choice of materials is not always as rational as he used to pretend and the detailing is often that of an amateur welder the day after a good party. This being said I am always amazed by the influence Jean Prouvé had. This chair is a good case in point. Between this chair and the Friso Kramer or Wim Rietveld chairs there is only a small step. The interesting thing is that the difference is often: better choice of m ... | |||||

At the end of the day, the people who know the difference between a real Nelson, Herman Miller bench and DWR's version are likely not the people doing the majority of the shopping at DWR. So can they get away with it? I think so....the only people who can possibly stop them is Herman Miller by exerting their muscle. The average DWR consumer may actually even prefer the altered dimensions of the bench (I sure as hell don't) The lower price will undoubtedly drive sales as many folks will be just as happy to have a DWR product as t ... | |||||

| ... the pair of armchairs might actually have Eames shells. I will have a look and see if I can remove the bases to look for the stamp. The side chairs cleaned up pretty good with baking soda and water. All 4 chairs will need the bases refinished with a new coat of paint. I've added a cellphone pic of one chair after the first cleaning. Quite a difference, have a look! 🙂 http://www.flickr.com/photos/22014482@N06/ | |||||
