	Prices only fluctuate up	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Prices only fluctuate up Take a look at Exxon Mobil's proift from 2008. Raw material price seems not to make much difference.

	just order yourself a Nog... just order yourself a Noguchi table from Herman miller for a round 1000. it fits your motif and with that small sofa you have it is classy and classic and you will love it, if you dont want to spring for the Herman Miller buy on line for a round 500. very hard to tell the difference., with the exception the Herman miller is signed by Isamu Noguchi
	Before we get too deep	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Before we get too deep I would like to know if this discussion is applying to design ideals, or design reality? Because ideally design addresses gaps in function. But, humans being...human, those gaps can suffer from the same perceptions and skewed viewpoints as all things humans do. It's not like people redesign the chair because humans lack a place to sit. Far from it, the development and evolution of things arises from perceived flaws and perceived betterments of existing things. Sometimes the perceived flaws can be especially difficult to ascertain : ...
	I'll say this...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	... so there'll be no tracking the origin. Only difference I can find aside from the natural walnut legs is dimensional height, 33 1/2 as opposed to Vitra's stated height of 32 1/2. Could it be an earlier Vitra production? Perhaps a special order? It can't be a vintage refurb because it smells factory and looks factory. Glides barely even have any wear. Thoughts, anyone? How could I pursue this? And yes, Ale, please do enlighten us... What say you?
	cont.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	cont. As to value and desirability, I'm always surprised that there is a difference in the Omni and CSS. Having watched auctions for years now, it's clear that Omni does bring less than CSS. The only justification I can think of is that the wood components of the Omni can vary in quality, something I attributed to the fact that Aluminum Extrusions was a metal company and I assumed they jobbed out their woodworking and cabinetmaking needs. Herman Miller products of that period of course were of pretty high quality. There is a bit more elegance in some of the ...
	Hmm. I'm no accountant, but--	1 Relevance	18 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	... prices suddenly make more sense. (According to the IRS: "Donors who purchase items at a charity auction may claim a charitable contribution deduction for the excess of the purchase price paid for an item over its fair market value. The donor must be able to show, however, that he or she knew that the value of the item was less than the amount paid. For example, a charity may publish a catalog, given to each person who attends an auction, providing a good faith estimate of items that will be available for bidding. Assuming the donor has no reason to doubt ...
	Doing my part to help the economy	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	... this part of furniture shopping is torture! Will post photos when they arrive 🙂 As a side note, I did buy them locally. Not to be moralizing, but I think it's important to practice what you preach. The difference ended up being about 160$ between tax and shipping. I hope the nice gal puts her commission to good use.

	Just to confirm as through... Just to confirm as through Googling the Cado system had come up many times, that PS and Cado are not the same unit or company and this was actually produced by a different company? I guess I can't seem to find the difference between Randers and Cado?

	Sat in a Cassina LC2 at a... Sat in a Cassina LC2 at a Corbusier exhibition last year was amazed at the difference in comfort between this and the repros I have sat in, main difference seemed to be the soft leather and cushions that were not over stuffed You definitely sat in it rather than on it

	. Interesting. Do you suppose the legs had metal sleeve caps, accounting for the color difference ? Nah -- I would expect the legs to be stepped down in size for them. . .
	Real deal	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	Real deal The reason the base is segmented is because they offered it in two heights. The top and bottom of the base are the same, the difference in height is created with a shorter center pole.
	I've not heard that Fritz Hansen's	1 Relevance	18 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	... issues with Herman Miller and Knoll, the quality remains high, and I assume it's the same with Fritz Hansen. But the difference in price makes Fritz Hansen's stuff priced over the budget of people wanting to buy their stuff for the home.....unless you're Prince Charles, Madonna, or Donald Trump!
	This argument has been made before, in this forum--	1 Relevance	18 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	... because it aggravates those who WOULD have liked to buy the item at the initial low price(?). I can understand people being peeved that they missed a bargain, but one shouldn't confuse sour grapes with moral indignation. There's no difference, morally, between the person who buys the $1,000 item for $50, then keeps it for their own use; and the person who buys the $1,000 item for $50, then sells it for $1,000. If you disagree, explain. (let me state for the record that I've never bought or sold on Craig's List.)

	... about). However, a store locally carried them, and when I went in to actually see the chairs they quoted me the same price for soaped oak as they did for soaped beech - a little bit more than the basic black. I don't think they misquoted; I confirmed several times before I put payment down. The store is called Montage in downtown Boston - and yes, I paid a little extra for shipping/tax, but it was STILL a better deal than Hive. And when I inquired on Highbrow whoever answered my email could not figure out what the difference between oiled/lacquered/soaped ...
	I just don't like the rainbow effect	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	... cacophonous. Black, grey, steel blue, chocolate brown, taupe, and rasperry. Easy on the eyes! One other thing...the human eye can distinguish much, much more than 15 colors. It's preposterous to think that we'd be able to evolve the art and technology that we have if our ability to dostinguish tonalities was that poor. Having been slapped for using wikepedia as an information source, the below link is all nice and scientific and thorough. We can actually distinguish colors in a range from 400 to 700 nanometers on the optical scale. The actual number of colo ...
