| As an industrial designer,... As an industrial designer, you are right that neither material is exactly eco friendly, since polypropylene is made from oil, and any oil extraction is bad. However, the difference is in the afterlife of the product. Say what you will about fiberglass recycling. It's pretty hogwash when compared with the recycleability of PP. If you take an eames chair to be recycled, the plastic can be melted down right away and be formed into a new product. Fiberglass cannot. Fiberglass is a thermoset material, which means once it's form ... | |||||

| ... of the red queen and her race is certainly applicable here. If you look at entries from years past and compare them to the average home in 2007, you will see a significant leap in technologies, equable to the difference between dirt-track derbies and formula one racing. Our school will probably never enter again, because the bar of technology keeps on going higher. The winning team in 2007 partnered with one of the biggest PV manufacturers in the world. They designed and built custom louvered panels that tracked the sun. Totally mechanized. I don't think th ... | |||||

| ... this? Because I believe that any group of students smart enough to design to the set of constraints that you were facing, will be smart enough to find your ways through the constraints of experience being voiced on this board. I was once a feasibility analyst in real estate. I had a wise friend who taught me something incredibly profound. Reality is an n dimensional lattice. What seems like a prohibitive constraint at first can become part of the cornerstone, or the capstone of a new fit. One of the points of an education is to teach persons that the only d ... | |||||

| Hmm Are they listing the base width measurement or just the seat? The original looks much narrower (does not extend past the shell). Too bad I no longer have mine to verify, but I think it's pretty clear. Edit: If you compare the tine length to height of the main column of the base in each pic, you can clearly see the difference that way. The photo of the original has the base at an angle which shows it at its longest (in two dimensions). The length of the tine in the Vitra version is just as long as the height of column, if not longer. | |||||

Also too, white is rarely pure white, I undercoated some old workshop walls in pure flat white a while ago and it was really really awful on the eyes, like old ladies using laundry blue you have to trick the eye, the tiniest amount of pigment can make a huge difference....oops Olive mentioned this. You could read up about what Le Corb did at the Pessac development, the colour he used had an architectural purpose which might be more effective than just breaking up the surface for the sake of it. | |||||

I can not give you any specific examples but an asymetrical jug is not new. I had two reasonsto do it. First of all there is a simple practical reason. To move the handle as much as possible over the centre of gravity just makes it easier to poor. Look at the efforts the hand makes while pooring a traditional jug. First you lift the jug and your hand and wrist are holdi ... | |||||

I never heard. There is still grafitti art in LA and there are still gangs, but my visits in recent years suggest a sharp drop in its practice. Now there are just lots of really mediocre murals. 🙂 I was never able to tell where the street art in Los Angeles originated from. Los Angeles attracts persons from all ov ... | |||||

| outdoor covers These are Circa50's outdoor covers. I wish they had red and orange but oh well, they're nicely made and they dry quickly! You can see in the photo how the cover doesn't dip much in front. This is the difference between uncomfortable and comfortable. I made some covers once out of heavy duty denim and the fabric stretched a lot even though it seemed quite stable. I had to throw them out. http://www.circa50.com/butterflychairs.html | |||||

| Right. Phillips comes in sizes: most common by far is #2, but small is #1 and larger screws (car door hinges, for instance) use #3. And don't get me started on the difference between Phillips and Pozidrive (common on European cabinet hardware).

| Looking at pictures on ebay... Looking at pictures on ebay I think the Mobilier International version looks very much like my Contura. I can't say if there's a difference between Contura and later Vitra versions, but as my chair is disassembled for repairs I could easily make some photos and measurements if that helps. http://cgi.ebay.fr/EAMES-LOUNGE-CHAIR-(2)-)%20-OTTOMAN-/-MOBILIER-INT._W0QQitemZ220431954598QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090612?IMSfp=TL090612174001r29280 | |||||

| too many to I am with Geo H and the others. I have many lamps and difffused-dimmed low level light sources, as well as brighter uplight washes for walls and the ceiling. A quick guess is over a dozen different sources of light, with half of them used most evenings. Despite all the lighting I like them really low especially when listening to music in the evening. This always prompts my wife to comment on how dark it is when she enters the room. I suppose that compared to the TV and reading lamps in the other rooms it is dark by comparision. Viva la difference ... | |||||

(Nice clean cotton knit rags -- T-shirt material -- are essential in woodworking, in my experience. There is always spilt glue, and the sharpened putty knife needs constant cleaning while in use. These rags are easily obtainable by the pound in larger cities; the home rag pile may render them as well.) I won't apologize for a long post; some things just take a while to describe properly. Leaving readers wondering just what you meant is no advantage, I ... | |||||

For heavy fixtures: If not, you should need a cord with "steel soul" (alma de acero) or something like that should be the name. Is a cord with not 2 but 3 (three) wires, two as always, to connect + and - and the third is made of steel, so just looking could see the difference with the others. This one will support the weight of the fixture. You need to tie this to the ceiling "somewhere" some ... | |||||

| Beste Brecht-Jan Sorry voor het late antwoord, maar ik kwam gewoon niet verder dan de laatste bijdragen en toen die ook nog een beetje uitdagend werden was het hek helemaal van de dam. When I started at Mepal, on the 24th of April 1971, there certainly was no cutlery in the collection. Nico Nijland was in charge of the design department and although I vaguely remember that it came up from time to time, it never went further than dreaming about it. The reason for the dreaming was that in spite of a second to none reputation of quality our melamine dishes woul ... | |||||
