	... made from and it looks assembled; this is evidence of some shift toward the functionalism we have noted previously in Piano. But yes I do think Koen is right when he says it is kind of a simplification of design, rather than a tour de force integration of complexity. Frankly, it is about what one would expect when architecture programs hide bound in formalism begin to step forward into functionalism. Functionalism is still very new to them and there are not a lot of architects in these schools that are great engineers. Remember, it took Piano a decade or tw ...
	Lunchbox	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Lunchbox good discussion about the fibreglass chairs versus the poly chairs below: As to the differences in quality - a friend has an old Vitra lounge and it looks pretty much the same as the old Herman Miller chairs I've seen. I can't account for the new versions. I personally think the Vitra base is much more finished and polished than the Herman Miller, but function wise I dont see much difference. http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th...

	Very Very similar, only difference I can see is that the end of the base is square on theirs, and sloping on yours.. Maybe a slightly different edition ?
	Sharpie	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	Sharpie I use a black Sharpie and immediately rub the ink while it's still wet and sort of smudge it in and around the scratch. This sort of lessens the difference between the sheens.

In the US 1's, 5's, 10's even one hundred dollar bills are all the same size. Owe that blind man thirty bucks, give him three singles, he'll never know the difference, appalling.

	... time affect the quality of the glue. I am sure the makers of these chairs do everything possible to minimalize that effect but you can not eliminate it completely. Ash has the longest fibres of all common woods and thin sections are stronger in ash than in any other wood. But of the woods that are mentioned you would never see a noticeable difference in use or life length. The choice given by the manufacturer is really about color and grain. Why is there a significant difference between black lacquered Oak and soap finished oak? ($150 gap) To lacquer a chai ...
	dcwilson and koen, thanks...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Gustaf	General discussion
	dcwilson and koen, thanks... dcwilson and koen, thanks for your elaborate insights. I learned a lot. Sadly, I think you are right in that it is very hard to change the industry, yet it could make such a difference to so many people. I am not familiar with what has been done, but assume many great minds have thought about it. My inspiration came mainly from an article I read a while back about building on the moon, as well as from igloos and from having worked for a couple of summers on a construction site. I still think there could be a right place and time ...
	great topic 🙂	1 Relevance	18 years ago	brnki (SVK)	General discussion
	great topic 🙂 when I think about it deeper, I must say that the biggest difference is in aesthetics aspects. Traditional food of our country isn't so "good looking", it is more about cheap food that fills the stomach 🙂 these days, when it's served in restaurants, you get decoration from vegetable, or some decorative lines "painted" with sauce, what needs more space, and so bigger plates are needed. So i think this eye-pleasing "function" of food has a great influence on design of dinnerware. And one special piece of dinnerware that came with cereals eaten fo ...

	... chairs to my ones in original condition, and really the only difference I could tell was the patina of the originals, so these guys gotta be onto something :)..so I'm not concerned about the chairs losing the original looks in the process, especially if the bases are left untouched; my main concern was if the color of the fiberglass shell was supposed to match the base which still, after 45 years or so, looks very white to me (not tinted)... Thanks again for your input, I'll check the link for your suggestion for the color..cheers!
	and almost all	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	and almost all and almost all the knockoffs have a tilt mechanism underneath - not the fixed tilt of the HM. Sadly this happens a lot - people get a general sense of the Eames lounge and think the Plycraft their grandpa gave them is the same thing 🙁 I was in a Mod shop and overheard the owner politely explaining the difference to a customer who was SO irate at the suggestion that Grandpa would have sullied his name by buying a knock-off. I felt very badly for both parties in the discussion.

	eames shell bases	1 Relevance	18 years ago	dadaman	General discussion
	eames shell bases I haven't noticed any difference between any of the seating heights of any of the different bases I have - eiffel/ h-base/ x-base nor that of the one modernica eiffel repro I also own. There were 2 heights made in H and X bases, dining and lounge height. I have the h-base in lounge height and it sits much lower, almost, but not quite as low as the cats cradle base.
	I have found	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I have found that each change of scale brings surprises. Of course one expects to learn new things when seeing a drawing turned into an object -- but every time I translate a design from a model into a half- or full-scale prototype, the identical dimensions seems to produce different proportions. Photographing these objects is another way of changing their visual effect. The difference between a long shot with a long lens, and a nearer shot with a wider lens, is expected to produce a different appearance, following the laws of perspective -- and it surely ...

	... us would agree that there is a need to come up with disruptive rather than continuous innovations (the latter being innovations that do not force a significant change of behavior by the customer) if we are to see any positive change. If we believe in that, could it be that contemporary design has failed to fulfill its promise? And is politics to blame, partially or completely? Maybe it is once again time for public institutions and governments to initiate and sponsor national or international contests and exhibitions, to a greater extent than they do today? ...

	Screw the end-user. We're... Screw the end-user. We're smarter than everyone. They should just stop breeding inferior people with inferior taste. Just kidding. What really surprises me, though, is that I have met several designers that still don't know the difference. It seems like they should have learned some design history or something. After I sold my Bertoias weeks ago, a friend told me about this "great furniture store with Eames chair copies, you wouldn't know the difference blah blah" and how I should get them instead because they're such a great dea ...
