| Stephen...read the thing you posted more carefully FIREPLACE... FIREPLACE! Not woodstove. There is a big difference! Pay attention! Now repeat after me.... Fireplace= Bad Woodstove= Good Exceptions: High-mass, circuitous flue fireplaces are good. Big gaping, open woodstoves are not good. | |||||

| I actually collect the... I actually collect the minatures but dont have the eames lounge chair, they are a brilliant thing to collect as I do not have enough space in my house to buy all the chairs I would like. What is the difference from £200 for a minature to £4,000 - £5,000 for a full size one, could you not say the same for that? | |||||

| Not a shift in language. Sim... Not a shift in language. Simply a difference between UK English and American English, I think. To us American's the words "tyre" and "colour" look ridiculous.....don't even get me started on "gaol".....;-) That said, we agreed to disagree on these things long ago. BTW, I always thought "droughts" was your funny name for checkers.....? Maybe the package means that you should send your herbs to Canada so that they don't end up in Vietnam? The English language is a funny thing, no? | |||||
| I was trying to | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| I was trying to make a distinction between stuff I think is ugly (purely personal taste) and stuff I think is either poorly designed or (in the case of furniture and lighting) uncomfortable to sit on, made with crappy materials, or too difficult to maintain. To me, there's a difference. Another example of silly design is the iconic Marilyn sofa. Nice to look at but how usable is it? The Joe sofa? Is it comfortable? Would it look nice next to a Florence Knoll coffee table? | |||||

| ... opinion. Guys, America is a really big place with many regional cultures. I happen to have been raised in a very liberal open-minded part of the country and have spent a good part of my adult life working closely with groups of people who are not 'American'. I actually became rather good at negociating the differing cultural attitudes due to my flexibility and acceptance of difference. My being included in transcontinental working groups was something my colleagues asked for. One of the joys of being here on DA, since my career change, was to continue to in ... | |||||

| ... to call an Eames shell ?derrière-garde?. Frank L.W. used to say that if you fail as an architect you can always grow ivy over your creations and let it disappear behind the greenery. That kind of ivy would qualify I think as derrière-garde. I am not suggesting that all these fashionable vertical green walls are derrière-garde, although some clearly show a defensive kind of attitude comparable with using a shield. A pre-requisite for that qualification is of course that the architect is aware of the fact that a critical kick in the butt is likely. Most archi ... | |||||

| Hi Grasshopper The site... Hi Grasshopper The site below explains it better than I could I would say there is very little difference in terms of cost between the 2, I pay around £40 per chair I would say you do get a glossier finish (maybe not original for this chair but I like the glossy look) with enamelling than powder coating however I suspect powder coating gives a tougher more durable finish Enamelling is good as you can match colours exactly as it is essentially paint, this isn?t possible with powdecoating on a small scale I'll be having this chair p ... | |||||
| The PK sofa... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| The PK sofa... ?.in a previous thread would certainly do well as yet another example of disfigured icon. It raises the interesting question of what constitutes the quality of the original. I am sure we all know that the Eames' would not have reached the recognition they so well deserve with this version of the 'Lachaise' chair. But the story-line would have been the same:-the use of innovative materials-the inspiration by the Lachaise sculpture in the MoMA etc. etc. So what makes it outstanding is not the general shape, the choice of materials etc. but the p ... | |||||

I am saving to have the real deal and now know that I can get them at a discount!!! COOL!!!!! ~L (it's something about the Knoll foam pads that make a real difference!) | |||||

| Enter the den of the beast In terms of a book, has anyone tried contacting Vitra? Seems like they'd have the resources, the know-how, the market, and the incentive to put out a book. Hell, I bet if they did the research they could find 8-10 more clocks to produce and sell. Like that lovely one Barry posted above 🙂 Incidentally - I was playing around with an inflation calculator for the Eames/luxury thread and I punched in some vintage clock prices Eye Clock: $50/1964 - $340 today Ball Clock: $30/1964 - $204 today Star Clock: $60/1964 - $408 today Funny, n ... | |||||

| I'd do the math on the electricity usage | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| I'd do the math on the electricity usage Compare what your existing fridge uses to what the replacement would use. There's a device for measuring usage called a kill-a-watt that you can use to measure what your existing fridge uses. If the difference is significant, say 25% or more, I'd switch. That's assuming of course that you can get your old fridge to a recycling location. There's a fair amount of metal that can be reclaimed, especially from the older units. Link to a kill-a-watt is below. There is a video embedded in the product page that shows you how ... | |||||

| ... local governments call for no burn days when the air is bad and I know our codes have required fireplaces to have doors that seal and an outside combustion air source. I thought a difference between a wood stove and a fireplace had to do with being able to close a door and control the combustion air. I was told that an open fireplace could suck more heated air out of the building than the fireplace contributed (assuming a furnace was the primary heat source.) It's also tough to get logs to last all night. | |||||
