	quoting the beloved "LR... quoting the beloved "LRF is a real person" oh yes he is a real person !!!!! damn straight about that .... and he says to the beloved and any one else who is intelligent enough to voice your opion good for you!!! go for it,,, don't be a wooooose or afraid to state what you think whether it be right or not so right . These forum is a good thing.. It is not the Yale School of Architecture or the Harvard School of Design it is just a bunch of down to earth people who enjoy having a conversation about good design, the things that come with good design, ideas, and products, don't forget that dirty taboo subject about reproduction furniture that seems to piss off so many people, It even counts, So the next time you think that you don't have the right thing to say say it anyway someone will interpret it one way or the other.

	saarinen tulip/swivel chairs and table	1 Relevance	21 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	saarinen tulip/swivel chairs and table i was in mexico camping near a poor farming village this weekend. I went to have breakfast at a place that had a letrine for a bathroom. Inside, was a set of 4 saarinen tulip chairs with original upholstering. The owner said that in the early 70's a guy came around selling used furniture and she bought the entire thing for about $20 back then. I asked her if I could buy one of the chairs and she said "you can have the whole thing!" She said that the chairs weren't good for her kids because during meal time they wouldn't stop swiveling in them and tilting over. I felt really guilty about taking the chairs (the table is at her son's house)and so I only took one (I couldn't help myself), but I expect to go back to pick up the rest (and the table) if I ever go back there. I will make a donation to her restaurant, though.
	The relation between two or m...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Antonella	General discussion
	The relation between two or m... The relation between two or more movement of ideas is never a mathematical detail, but it is possible to find some links based on official statements or make hypothesis, or noticing them. I know that Walter Gropius was involved with the Wiener Werkstätte before starting the Bauhaus movement. That makes me think that he also was probably inspired by it. One thing that the Bauhaus has taken from the Wiener Werkstatte for sure is the mission at the very base that consists on " ... regarding design as a mean to shape society. In those day that was an innovative concept while the standard one was that design must be only a reflection of what society already is ... ". I think that without the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus, today we would thing that changes happen because they are in the air. Instead now we know that changes in society very often happen because they are designed by creative artists.
	RE: Help Rosewood dining table	1 Relevance	6 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Novel extension mechanisms became a thing in maybe the mid 1960s. Rosewood also became a thing then. For example Gjerløv Knudsen designed a yin yang table. Aage Schmidt Christensen designed one with automatically storing leaves. The flip flap table made by Dyrlund is from about then and that is probably the most successful. There are certainly others that aren’t immediately coming to mind. Gjerløv Knudsen was a great designer who never really got a chance because he was born too late, but he is probably the most famous of these designers and he isn’t very famous. I tend to think that the person who concocts such mechanisms is probably not a famous designer whose specialty is making an appealing overall form. Some more photos of the apron legs and underside could be helpful. Someone might be able to narrow the field of possibilities that way.
	cut back	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	cut back I agree most with what James posted, especially about your place looking like a mid-century design showroom. I have looked at a ton of books and mags and am at the point where I am saturated with images of iconic pieces. I've seen too many homes where the focus is on the pieces and not on the whole. I look at them and just mentally tick off the list: Eames lounge chair, LCW, slat bench, Diamond chair, Nelson clock, etc. It's just too predictable. I was kinda headed that way myself but caught it before I got to the saturation point, I think. I have a few very famous pieces and the rest are just good designs by lesser known designers, or lesser known designs by famous designers. Works for me. I do think that one can develop an eye for design. I don't think you're either born with it or not. There are certain basic elements of design that apply to most everything and anyone can learn what they are and how to work with them. It may be easier for some people than for others but it's definitely a learnable skill. One more thing---I would work out some kind of color plan for all the walls and trim in the place, probably mostly neutrals. I think Martha Stewart is actually really good at this---having different colors from room to room but they all relate and make a very pleasing whole. I am not a fan of her in general but I do think her color sense is good and I've learned some valuable stuff from her books in that regard. (And she knows a thing or two about modern design even if it's not her main thing.)
