| ... from any idea of craft or quality of materials. So - to most people - if it LOOKS the same, it must BE the same. Which is why knock-offs exist in the first place. There are some blurring of the lines around quality, but the low quality crap enourmously outweighs the higher quality crap. While IKEA is partly at faul (as are Target/Walmart etc) I would tend to blame clothing stores and shoe manufacturers as well. Its in these places, literally close to our skin, that people are introduced to the idea that branding - that the name/appearance of a piece - ... | |||||

According to the laws on intellectual property protection they are entitled to produce any product of which the protection has expired?which is the case for most of the models designed by Charles and Ray Eames. Copyrights on the name last much longer (50 years after the year in which the ?creator? passed away) so there are still some limitations there. There might also be some patents that are still valid, not the ones owned by Eames, but possible original and inventive improvements that were bas ... | |||||

A grand structure only seems to enforce the delegates sense of entitlement and immunity from the real problems, 🙁 My ten dollar pound puppy lives better than most humans on the planet. 🙁 Sorry, I'm just pissed off at this morning's 700 billion dollar fat-cat bailout. 🙁 I'll go off in a corner somewhere and grouse and grumble to myself. 🙂 | |||||

| some thoughts... In a forum as informative as DA, one would expect a clearer division between opinion and information. I can sympathize with those who support the claims of the Eames family. I can even understand the often repeated claim that the ?licenced? production will increase in value and the so called copies will not. But the first is an opinion and the second is a speculation. The facts are that Modernica has all legal rights to produce a design that has been in the public domain (meaning owned by every one of us) for quite some time. It is fully und ... | |||||
| IT not DTM | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| IT not DTM I think there may be some confusion here. The DTM is the dining table with folding legs. The IT table is the same design, only smaller to be used as either a child's table or an incidental table (hence the IT designation). The Eames website gives a date of 1948 for the IT and 1949 for the DTM, but the Eames Design book says that the entire group was designed in 1947. I think the DTM tables had a screw in glide until 1953 when they switched to the same style boot glide as the DCM. Again, I do not think that the IT had a glide at all. The table they ... | |||||

| Ah, my good Lunchbox... I have never had as much difficulty understanding John Ruskin, as I am having understanding you. I apologize. Obviously, what I would (and now do, of course)argue is that it never made any difference whether he was quoting from the Bible or not. 🙂 In fact, it would not make any difference if he had just made up the quote out of his own head, or if he claimed that he heard it from a burning bush, now would it? 😉 The question is: does the epigram convey any useful insight? And we must remind ourselves once again that for an epigram to b ... | |||||

Because I am a soon-to-be father, I have spent a little time thinking about child friendly furniture (furniture that I won't worry about so much). I like the idea of a dark hued leather for wiping off the inevitable. After reading the fine print, this $1K sofa still has particleboard in it! I was shocked to learn this. While 1K is very reasonable for an attractive sofa, I would think that at this price point you've graduated past that horrid material. So, in the ... | |||||

| Boy I really don't like that Victorian settee at all! There was a lot of work put into that, that's for sure, but the design is not pleasing to my eye .... it looks to gothic or something. I really don't know the difference between high and low Victorian ... my guess is that high is more ornate? Enough is enough! But this is why this thread in fun to me - I am learning. | |||||

| claus, this may not be the... claus, this may not be the answer you are looking for but I think you will get the best deal on shipping rates from the major freight forwarders. That means having your seller ship it to a U.S. address, from which the forwarder takes over. You will find my experiences of that procedure in the linked thread. If time isn't an issue, I would pick a forwarder that offers sea freight. It makes a big difference on shipping cost. http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th... | |||||

| ... the picture I posted shows only the six international pallet size standards (ISO 6780). They are based on the most commonly used sizes around the world. Of these six, four are metric and two are imperial. There are far more sizes still in use. As the linked source notes: "In the U.S., one-third of the market uses 48 x 40 inch pallets. The next most common size is used by less than 6% of the U.S. market. There are hundreds of different pallet sizes, which is fine for domestic use. But once you start moving shipments globally, it forces countries to re-pallet ... | |||||

| ... has helped me. I actually find it strange that pallets are used as an example of incompatibility. In fact the 48" x 40" is the same as the 1200 x 800 mm (Europe) and the 42" x 42" is the same as the 1100 x 1100 mm (Asia). The major problem is not the difference between the different systems, but the incompatibility with the container size. The ideal pallet would be 776 mm x 1150 mm or 30" x 46". It would allow either two in the width or three in the width of a container, depending on the direction (container width is 2330 mm or 94") and 5 in the depth of a ... | |||||

| There's a wealth of info in Heath's posts. The only element of it that I'd directly question is the first bit, about easily sanding thin veneers in an abrasive planer (sander). The reason is that the vacuum that is applied to the sanding area of the machine will be almost certain to wrap the veneers around the hold-down rollers or the sanding head(s) themselves. The only recourse is to stick thin stock like this onto boards, which can be sent through the machine safely. So, using available veneer is probably a good idea, no matter what thickness it is.
