| Did you see the last review on that chair? | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Modern Love | General discussion | |
| ... version. If you buy this chair you be buying a piece of artistic treasure that will only gain in value in the years to come. This is a true piece of luxury that has it all curves ,comfort , quality ,and most of all a jaw dropping figure.If there is one item on earth that you must have this is it. 5 Stars al the way!!!!!!!!!!" Wow, I really can't tell the difference! No doubt made exactly to Arne Jacobsen's specs. But don't forget, Target uses way better material than Fritz Hansen. http://www.target.com/Egg-Chair-and-Ottoman-Red/dp/B000H441TA/ref=cm_r ... | |||||

| ... specs except for a 0.5" difference in seat height. My other two MCM pieces, the bench and the womb chair are actually licensed pieces from HM and Knoll respectively. I got them at trade prices through an achitect friend. And the reasons for doing so were quality. Pure and simple nothing else came close in production value to what was made by HM and Knoll. I don't feel like a hippocrite though, as my main rant has always been, and will always be: Get the best value for money... Caveat Emptor! | |||||

| As we all know As we all know, Vitra has had the rights to produce Nelson since 1957/58. Its not like the clocks are something new to them. I'm not saying their aren't some difference between the vintage clocks and their contemporary productions - although every piece of literature states that the clocks are produced from "the original design documents in the Nelson archives with the blessings of the Nelson estate", and Im almost certain the wood is walnut. I'll have to check the one my friend has. Interestingly enough, check out the vintage pieces below ... | |||||
| Ah -- | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Ah -- I understand. There's a controlled focal point. . . Good move. You'll have to do your best to achieve order. If you believe the vertical alignment issue overrides the 1" offset on the wall, then that's the solution. I'd consider splitting the difference: art 1/2" off the fireplace to the right; 1/2" extra space on the right-hand wall space -- but only if that looks good. It's like the kind of adjustment graphic designers have to make with type: I call it "give-and-take diplomacy"! If the art can be hung on clips that allow you to slide it a bit ri ... | |||||
| I admire | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| I admire your sensitivity, but in my opinion, you have an essentially symmetrical condition. I for one see no real difference between the two options. To the extent that it might be appreciated, I agree with you that the pictures could be centered over the fireplace. As it is, I'd be tempted to ignore the very slight offset of the fireplace, and center them on the wall. This will be a little less distracting than the alternative, I think. As to height - I would match the space above the woodwork to the space on either side of the artwork. This height nee ... | |||||
| Failure vs. bad design. | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| ... also a big difference between a bad design and a failure. A failure can be anything that did not meet the original criteria, whereas a bad design is generally something that just doesnt function very well. For example, the Eames plywood lounge was originally conceived as having a single piece shell rather than a separate seat and back. While a failure of the original intent, the LCW is nonetheless a great design. I think my favorite example of a bad design is Bertoia's side chair. As beautiful as any of his other wire chairs - the side chair has a quite ... | |||||
| Gustavo and Barry | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Gustavo and Barry Gustavo - believe it or not the conversation did go something along those lines. LOL. The topic of luxury centers around those things that we define as necessary and those things which are not. By strict definition, the only things we all NEED are water, food, shelter, and clothing. Generally in that order. discussions of luxury are tricky as this thread has proven because everyone has their own definitions of what exactly is 'necessary'. Its kind of like the old adage about driving: The people driving slower than me are idiots, the pe ... | |||||

| ... a blowhard, in my opinion -- an art critic who likes the sound of his own voice. Most visitors to Fallingwater enjoy the sound of the waterfall. It is designed as a weekend house. Wright acknowledged that his proportions were based on his own height. Wright lovers enjoy the difference in ceiling height between entrances and living rooms; it is one of the spacial qualities that define Wright's mastery. Fallingwater, because of its horizontal, layered design and thick masonry floors and ceilings, has less dramatic variations in ceiling height than most of W ... | |||||

| alloys Yeh, be careful with the magnet test. There are quite a number of stainless steels available and some are magnetic. It shouldn't make that much difference for furniture which lives indoors . The characteristics of the stainless are determined by the alloys which are added in the making process. Top grade stuff used in marine and high exposure environments has higher amounts of the alloys chromium and nickel and possibly others like molybdenum. I'm sure your supplier won't know much about stainless and it's contents but it might raise an eyebrow if you ... | |||||
| Dear Gustavo... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear Gustavo... I hope you do not intentionally wanted to start a discussion on brands... I guess we all read Noami Klein's "No Logo", so I am not going to comment on the book. One aspect that always seems to get lost in the process is that most large brands pre-date branding. In other words branding is like politics: predict the inevitable and take credit for it. GM, Ford, or Kodak, K-mart, Kleenex, Knorr for those who think that strong brands have something to do with the letter "K" (as in Koen) Philips, IBM, BMW, Mercedes, Addidas, Chanel, Samsonite, Tupp ... | |||||

| Your last remark Heath is... ...actually a hopefull one because if the manufacturers that care and take a wider responsability than to produce the most for the least follow your previous suggestions the difference between them and the others will become more and more clear and that first level of democracy, which is to vote with the choices you make every day, will kick in. It is one of the reasons why I am always reluctant to support the argument that one should buy from the so called "license holder" or the so called "original". The reason behind buying fr ... | |||||

| I am not big on religions... ...but I was asked one day, during the build up of a booth at a Philadelphia show, if I was Amish just because I did not use any electrical tools...It is interesting indeed how Mennonites, Amish, Shakers and to some extend Hasidic Judaism embrace technology as long as it does not interfere with family life. One of the more creative exemples is the acceptance of the tractor by the Amish population as long as it has steel wheels instead of tires (allowing for work on the land, but not for traveling on roads). Shakers were very invo ... | |||||

| Hmmmm....again well maybe one thing I could do is post a list of the top 10 little changes that make a difference. then the top 10 things that require investment going from lowestto highest. One of the big problems is the perceived 'sexiness' of solar panels. They look cool and people are entranced by the idea of creating their own power. Same holds for wind turbines..."Ooooo look at the pretty windmill"... The reality is that these are the last places to go, not the first. They are expensive inefficient and take up a lot of real estate on your property. The ... | |||||

We're adding an addition to the library, and for the time being, the furniture will go with it. Eventually it will be surplussed. When that happens, I plan on making a few purchases. fm | |||||
