| Hi Heath.... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Hi Heath.... As has been pointed out before, there are four different legislations related to the protection of intellectual property. The first one is a patent protection and applies to original and useful inventions.The period of protection was ones based on the professional life time of glass blowers in Elisabethian England:18 years, and is now around 20. The second is on design of industrial products and is called a design patent in the U.S. although it has few procedures in common with regular patents. In a number of countries it protects for a multiple ... | |||||

| ... understand the arguments, especcially if there's really a difference in quality. Is it also so that the original eames is not made out of solid palisander wood, but that it's plywood with a layer of veneer? And for the leather they are using aniline but as LRF said; this is not the best quality? Can you decide what type of leather the use with vitra. or Herman Miller? About buying it in the US and shipping it to Europe; this won't do me much good. The chipping costs are enormous and also i need to pay a lot of taxes at customs. That makes it pretty expensiv ... | |||||

| ... shapes of these pieces of furniture may well substitute an actual brand label, that is, the form IS the label. So when someone goes for a womb chair they are going for that shape because that is perceived as comfortable, modern, quality - whatever. The form of these pieces defines their perception. Selling knock-offs brings own the cachet that Knoll, HM, Fritz Hansen, Vitra etc have worked hard to build and define and keep relevant.)) Until it shows up in the Burger King lobby. Then apparently all bets are off! ((I've made friends with the manager of the DW ... | |||||

| ... Are Vitra chairs any less valuable or how should I say, "cherished" than Miller chairs, or is there no difference? And like I said in my earlier posts: I only bought because I like it. The value is completely irrelevant. Oh and by the was to those whom it may cocnern. Great site, great forum! Thanks again. | |||||

| Non-Vitra I've seen a non-Vitra repro here in the USA and it looked really nice. I'd bet they are distributed from the same place. Unless you owned the Vitra, It's hard to tell the difference. | |||||
| Just a short comment on electricity and gas | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Just a short comment on electricity and gas It is difficult...and most of the time wrong to recommend one energy system above the other. All depends on regional conditions. The use of electricity is not so obvious anymore when you drive south along the Rhône valley in southern France with the banks of the river punctuated by nuclear power plants, whereas we here in Québec have only a symbolic nuclear power plant for research, and all other electricity (with a few exceptions of islands that can not be reached by power cables) is hydro-power. I am not pretendi ... | |||||

| Cloudburst; I never had any problem paying with PayPal, despite all of the attitudes towards their fees. When I pay, it takes whatever money I might have in the PayPal account (if I sold something) and then pulls the difference right out of my bank account. Totally safe and secure. PayPal was such a good service that eBay bought them awhile back. I wouldn't worry about them....although if you are nervous about PayPal, here's a suggestion; open up a second checking account at your bank and connect up PayPal with that second account. You can then transfer m ... | |||||
| Quite different | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| Quite different We just got our swan settee back from being reupholstered and it looks very nice. However, I have to say now that we have it an useable state, and as beautiful as the form is, the womb settee has it beat for comfort by a mile. The swan is a nice sculptural piece, but not nearly as inviting for anything more than a brief sit. It works well for us, as we wanted to use it in an entryway where you would not be seated long anyway, but the contrast is striking. My son has decided that it's "his" sofa because it is "just my size". That's fine with m ... | |||||

That and having the machines at my disposal when a new idea pops up would be nice...instant gratification! HP, one of the hardest things ever to deal with in manufacturing is unimaginitve contractors. So many times I've had to not only design the part but tell them how it was to be made, on which machines, with jigs or fixtures of my design...without which I could have been pay ... | |||||

| ... forms are refined and drawn in CAD by others. Is there really so much difference between this method, and Gaudi's, as you describe it ? In both cases, forms are determined by a designer and realized by craftsmen -- albeit with different tools. The aim of the current technologies seems to be an ever-widening scope of possibilities re material and form. What are the limits of CAM that you refer to ? The problems with CAD seem to be technical in nature; the many glitches and hang-ups (which would defeat me completely as a draftsman) are frequently discussed ... | |||||
| Dig those wood chevron style supports | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | vintage damage | General discussion | |
| Dig those wood chevron style supports Hey Dave, I found a chair much like yours, when I was first cultivating my addiction. Don't get too hung up on who made this, it's not going to make much difference. study more important pieces. Having said that...The manufacturer on the base is unlikely to be the manufacturer of this chair,whether it's original or not, though it may be a good clue. If you want to do a quick cosmetic job on it, get some "feed and wax" from the hardware store or from many paint stores. Use that on some #000 steel wool to cautiously scrub ... | |||||

| passion or profit Just discovered this thread and have been enraptured by the stories of amazing discoveries which mostly seem to be a result of people not knowing what they really have. I have also been dismayed to read that people are often selling these treasures on for a quick buck. I would class these individuals as speculators not collectors. What's the difference in that and the stock market? I have found some real design treasures in London - which seems to be just about the hardest place on earth to find a real bargain because everyone is so clued u ... | |||||

| however, a knock-off Nelson c... however, a knock-off Nelson clock is meant to be dishonest. It's sole purpose is to lie about its origins. At best it's a halfway decent copy, at worst it tarnishes the brand identity of the original. sorry but this is so radical thinking it makes my hair go white, you make good points and have always stated things the way you feel but this is off the wall who gives a shit!!!!! should we round up all the nelson clocks and have a big bonfire in Times square, ?
