	Yes, cont'd	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Yes, cont'd Looking at this from the other side, from the person who buys the knock-offs, and we see a person who does not actually like design. As LFR states above, design is a process of layering, thinking, rethinking, attempting, failing, re-attempting, diluting, into the very purest essence. It is a combination of materials, form, function, & intent. A person buying a knock-off doesnt see this. They see the approximation of design as form recognition and status symbol. Like recreating a painting from memory - the robustness of an Egg chair - all the ...
	this is from Fritz Hansen	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	this is from Fritz Hansen ORIGINALS How do I see the difference between a genuine Fritz Hansen product and a counterfeit? There are some producers who go to a lot of effort to make a product that looks very much like the real thing, fortunately, it?s usually easy to spot a knock-off when you take a closer look. The quality is inferior and the design looks haphazard. A genuine Fritz Hansen piece is a product of years? of development work, many creative thoughts and obviously - substantial investments. The quality and design will last for many years. Read abo ...

	The magnet test is an accurate one... but is should not really make a difference. MVDR had the first ones made for the Barcelona pavilion in chromed steel, but later, when living and workin in the U.S. he found a manufacturer capable of welding stainless to his expectation and approuved the stainless steel version.
	L~ and I	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	L~ and I are of an age. It isn't clear that that makes a difference in how one sees the products of any given decade. But familiarity doesn't necessarily breed contempt. Quite the opposite: I am both nostalgic for and committed to the design of the 1935-1970 period. I agree that much good new work is being done -- but the record is beginning to skip on its turntable a bit, isn't it ?

	... much about the design/history beyond the 'look' (lets impress our friends brigade). It's a sad fact, and not just in our industry, that people in this country will settle for 2nd best in order to save a few quid. A close friend of mine runs a car detailing business (paint correction etc) but many people can't see the difference between a basic (and usually cr*p) valet, and a full blow paint correction program thus complaining about the price!!
	Pt. 5...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Pt. 5... The important difference about Johnson, however, is that he profoundly characterized this short coming of his work, and of much modern architecture, as the processional facet of architecture. His word choice is crucial. He did not call it dryly the process of experiencing space, or the process by which the space program unfolds. The word "processional" implies a ritual, mythical quality to the process by which the PERSON moves through the space program that has been designed for that person to move through. There is an "interwoveness" of conception ...

	I like your analogy, w-h-c, a... I like your analogy, w-h-c, and it causes me to consider genesis, among other things. I'm wondering about the mass production/proliferation of the lamps you speak of in the 70s and 80s, and think that it must have been fairly directly borne of an admiration for those original Tiffany lamps coupled with a price point notoriety from record auction prices, etc. The clock example I think presents an interesting difference: the mass production of those pieces not Nakashima inspired but more likely spawned of the petrified wood/pol ...
	Well	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Well she did the right thing, I think. She could have sold it at auction, but then we'd know nothing of it, except for a hard-to-find catalog entry. I wonder what the two other models depict ? I'm curious about the difference in condition of this piece, comparing your image to the colored ones. did MoMA restore it do you suppose ? I know a Rothermel here in San Francisco. His father is a jazz musician.

	Looks like there would be a significant difference in seat height if this upholstered chair were converted to cane ? Could it be that there were two different versions of the chair frame, one caned and one upholstered ? Just a thought. . .
	3 sizes?	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	3 sizes? From Knoll: The Womb chair is available in three sizes: standard, medium and small. The medium size also has an accompanying ottoman Neither HiveModern, Retromodern or Highbrow are showing all three sizes. I wonder what's the sizing difference....

	. Hans Olsen sofa, about 8 or 9 foot long and an Ole Wanscher armchair, $100.00 for both. There isn't a huge difference in value from what I paid to what I could get, compared to toher things ($1.00 to $12,000 is fantastic)but they are my favourites and will never be sold.
	....I am still hesitant	1 Relevance	19 years ago	koen	General discussion
	....I am still hesitant I just had a look at Bo Gunnar Lindgren's study on "dishes" for the swedish Slöjdföreningen (1961) to find out that it is 200 pages thick! But...with a lot of DA's working on it, why not. It would safe me the time to explain what the difference is between the "Latin" versus the "Germanic" way of holding cookware. I could just refer to the DKR (not the Danish krone, but the Design Knowledge Repository)
	Identify CADO-like system?	1 Relevance	19 years ago	John Slater	General discussion
	Identify CADO-like system? Can someone help me identify a CADO-like system? I have had in storage a unit which is clearly designed in the same manner, but has some minor differences between what I've seen in the CADO system. I'm hoping you can help me identify it. Basically, I have a teak-veneered wall unit consisting of six shelves (one 40 cm deep + five 25 cm deep), two four-drawer blocks (each 40 cm deep X 50 cm high X 80 cm wide), one fold-out desk block (40 cm deep X 40 cm high X 80 cm wide), and one cabinet block (40 cm deep X 50 cm high X 80 cm wide) ...

	... if sound quality is of any consequence. It makes music, and most mid-fi stuff, and Marantz is fine for mid-fi, just reproduce sounds that are supposed to resemble music. But the brain knows the difference, and it communicates directly with the soul. Besides outperforming many amps two and three times its cost, the A1 also has an exemplary phono preamp for LP replay, that allows you to easily switch between MM and MC cartridges at the touch of a button. Being an integrated, and a minimalist one at that, it has no tuner, but you can add a seperate if you list ...
	Ummm...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Cloudburst2000	General discussion
	... to look at and admire. IMHO, the miniatures are art too. They are for people to look at and enjoy. People pay lots of money for small pieces of art to set around...sculptures, figurines, etc. What's the difference in paying money for that form of art and another form of art like the miniatures? If someone likes them and thinks they are cool-looking and would enjoy them then I say go for it. I have a collection of miniature Ninja Turtles hanging out on my mantle. No difference in collecting those and collecting miniature chairs.
