| The padded flooring seems like a good idea, at first glance | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| The padded flooring seems like a good idea, at first glance Where I work, a large padded mat was added to a much-used work area-- one really appreciates the difference at day's end (good-BYE achin' dogs). As an additional-- though unintended-- consequence, accidentally-dropped objects suffer less damage, as well. However, since elderly adults are usually dependent on wheels for locomotion (wheeled walkers & chairs), wouldn't the "drag" of padded flooring make movement significantly more difficult? (Just thinking aloud, while wondering why this good-at-first- ... | |||||

| I am nowhere near an... I am nowhere near an audiophile. I actually can hardly ever hear a difference in comparisons. I just love music and would isten to it out of a coffee can if I loved the song enough. I think I am going to go with a wall mounted shelf system above my credenza that holds my LCD TV. I'll put the Rega P1 on the credenza for accessibility. I'll sink a chase into the wal to conceal all the wires. I've picked most components, just not speakers. With the retangular shape and way we sit when we view the TV I was thinking I am going with t ... | |||||

| cont. I suspect that part of the success of innovators is that they were educated in the previous system and so well versed in it that they felt the need to innovate but at the same time did it along well established standards. In architecture thousands of modernist buildings have been build after Mies v.d. Rohe but really get to the same level. Almost the same can be said about the Eames?. In spite of great interest for mid century design and the modernist revival, nobody seems to be able to do it with their understanding of proportion, relations between m ... | |||||

| Fired chicken, Milanesa, Wiener Schnitzel Fisrt, I was going to tell you that, sorry, but there isn,t fried chicken here, no recipe then!, we have different kinds made in the pot (Spanish way, Portuguese way, Swiss way, and many Italian way, etc etc) and the "Pollo a la parilla", (Possshhho a la parissshha, wih porteños accent) barbecued chicken, almost no sauce, a very simple one, or better: just lemon juice) But the I realize. . . MILANESAS!!! Milanesas is the one most popular dishes!, is similar to your southern fried chicken. A milanesa consists of a t ... | |||||

"Though artistic inspiration is important to Wegner, he believes that success is more dependent on the skill and integrity of the craftsman." Note the difference in the woven pattern of the covering at the open-weave portion of the seat, and the absence in the earlier (?) chair of the hanging notch in the lower crosspiece of the frame. | |||||

| It's Dublin for the Guinness And the flat out nicest, warmest people on the planet. I also just happen to totally dig the indoor pool in the basement at the Hotel Merrion on Merrion Square. It is a great place to either wind down from what always ends up being a fairly hectic time in Europe and or a great place to ease into a European holiday and transition into the anywhere from 5 to 8 hour time zone difference. | |||||

| I think I would have preferred a metal extension (?), as these wooden ones (despite the comment) don't really match the original wood -- an almost impossible feat, in fact. And the difference in taper between front and rear legs means that something other than the simple extension of the existing lines wanted to be found, to avoid the uncomfortable difference in the terminal dimension as seen. But it looks like a nice neat job nevertheless. Thanks for the pics, in any event, and the interesting discussion that results. | |||||

| Most of us could be accused o... Most of us could be accused of that on some level. I am sure most of us have several pieces that you could find in a DWR catalog. The difference is how you present it. DWR carries modern classics. We love modern classics. There is really no escape, save for adding personal touches and other vintage pieces not in production. Also agreed, buy what you like. | |||||

| Cerebral? One need only go read the "removing dents in forum" thread to get an idea of how cerebral this place can be. It may be something, but cerebral isn't what I'd call it. (I have to edit this to say that there are some very cerebral posters here, and I appreciate them very much - so no offense to them - I'm just mocking the ones who *think* they are but clearly wouldn't know the difference. Great, now I'm sure to have pissed everyone off. Again.) | |||||

| precisely, barry... i think there is a tendency to take interior decor far too seriously. and while i love Mies and much of the Bauhaus genre, i could never live with that look. too cold, too stark. when i first discovered MCM years ago, harsh minimalism was all i had an eye for. but my home never really looked like a home until i got off the gallery kick. it was the Eames house which opened my eyes. and while I do agree with you somewhat jes(high ceilings do make a big difference), your photo depicts one of the more expansive spaces in the Eames house. it's ... | |||||

An ever expanding percentage of Chinas billion plus people come on line each year with Western levels of resource consumption and the concurrent level of toxic output. It's hard to believe for sure that man could have an impact on a planet as vast as earth, but we can take out 6 acres of trees a minute in the Amazon through mechanized methods. Trees process CO2 and return oxygen to the environment. Ice caps ref ... | |||||

In furniture it was quite common ever since Kartell (the famous company started by Giulio Castelli and Anna Ferrieri)started to produce the Joe Colombo, Richard Sapper, Achille Castiglioni, Marco Zanuso etc. designs we all know so well.

| ... I have never experienced it in its true cultural context (which is probably why I think of cowboys when I hear it). But the tradition still lives on in certain parts of northern Sweden, mostly among the Lapps. And it is not uncommon even in the south to hear older people use the term "koka kaffe" when they really mean "brew coffee in a drip maker". There was specially designed equipment too, such as the enamelled coffee pot made by Kockums pictured below. The method is really simple. Coffee is added to cold water and quickly heated, but never allowed to act ... | |||||

| I can see your point... but, I would make a difference between re-building something strictly symbolic like the skylon and re-constructing William Shakespeare's theater (not great architecture by the way) The Globe is not only a a symbol, it is fully functional. But the question remains. I for one see more urgent use of the talents that will be needed. | |||||
