| ... contracting and not design drove urban renewal and many of the most dehumanizing urban discontinuities he attributed to modernism. You see polemicists oversimplify, because they are not looking for the truth. Rather, they are looking to make their point, which is okay. There's room for both inquiries into truth and polemics. But you the reader have to know the difference, so you don't let a polemicist wreck your day by using an oversimplified argument to make you feel you've dedicated yourself to an evil -ism. In his case it was: Bauhaus modernism and a par ... | |||||

| I have a question about CFs... Whenever I go to grocery store or the big box discount stores where I buy things like lightbulbs for my lamps, I purchase a compact flourescent bulb, bring it home and it never puts out much light, certainly not light that is pleasant to read or work in. On the other hand, if I go out into my kitchen, where we have several, old fashioned long-tube flourescents, the light is bright and pleasant to do any task in. Why do these compact flourescents I buy put out such an inferior quality of light compared with the old fashioned lo ... | |||||

| ... not much a problem, if you replace just one you'll see a difference. you want to design a luminaire with the g9(= fitting : QT14 = lamp) halopin (osram; inventors / philips: clickline); the main problem you will have is heat! this is a nice lamp; small and works on main voltage but be sure that your fitting is one of a good quality (ceramic) for example from bender+wirth/vossloh-schwabe/emc colosio..., be carefull with the wiring; do not use pvc isolated cables but rather ptfe, fep or pfa. also the junction clamps should be out of ceramic or steatite and no ... | |||||

| Hi Stephen.. While you made better use of your time, the forum has been doing well. "b" is still around, at least I hope so, but with less colourful language as before. We still spend much time on "ID the designer, or... no matter how ugly the product is, I want to know who did this to us" very popular are still questions like:"how do I repair a broken window?" and one of the favorites is still: "Is the sun real or is it just a copy aimed at making money?..and how can I see the difference" But the most important thing is that nobody has lost the passion, nor ... | |||||

| LCW : HM Vs Vitra - the verdict ! Here are the differnce I could spot. I would say the HM version looks better. It seems that the height is a bit different but I have to admit that it is hard to tell difference if you don't have the versions next to each others. http://flickr.com/photos/delabassee/sets/72157594282747558/ | |||||
| Depends where you are... | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Depends where you are... In Europe the difference is a bit bigger. The Steelform costs ? 1200,- where as the Knoll costs around ? 4300,-. Now you can already buy 3 Steelforms and have another ? 700,- left. About return value you are absolutely right. But then you have to decide for yourself; do you buy the barcelona because you like the design and want to enjoy it in your own house for years to come, or do you want to buy it as an investment with the thought of selling it again within the next few years. This is an essential question in this matter. I think ... | |||||

| ... construction of permanent buildings. The Japanese are a very materially efficient people in general, owing to an historic paucity of natural resources (this long having been a driving force in their history and culture, I'm told). I lack the means to agree or disagree with Koen at the moment - I'll have to do some research. But I do want to ask you, koen - if the japanese are ok with it how wasteful can it be? Or do paper tubes vs. laminates make all the difference? | |||||

| ... really a choice when the difference between an original and a knockoff is 10-12% of the price? I would suggest that if Mr. McFancypants Esq. Christ III is serious he should set about to make a line of cardboard furniture that is durable, styling, and each piece priced under $150. (sorry kid...its never gonna be green using kraft paper) And he should sell the (unfancy)pants off of Gehry's designs, and those of imitators as well. | |||||

| ... forms of art try to pretend that it is not and that the idea is more important than the form...but a concept, nor matter how original, funny or smart, will be looked at if it does not comply with century old rules on what is art. If I turn a large teddybear into a voodoo doll, have it chrome-plated and use it as a shield during a "performance" to protect some parts of me against some extended self-mutilation with a full size flame-thrower, I might have a concept and rejoice about it on my hospital bed, but it is not art...yet. Art is well served by searchin ... | |||||

| ... large conical shape. The seat was typically made quite round and couvered with almost fluorencent long hair synthetic fiber, but I think that for Rietveld it was a much wider field. I suspect that quite a number of the pictures we see under "...can you identify this chair..." would qualify. The phenomena of mimicry is of course part of every movement since the caves of Lascaux. Once a mouvement is well established it is easy to follow the codes. Enlarge any part of a classical building untill you can drive a bus through it and yuo have yourself a Post-moder ... | |||||

| ... in small "bun-size" pieces. This being said, congratulations with designing a product that has both character and personality. If there is something we have learned about products in an affluent society, it is probably that difference between a sticktly functional product and a functional product with added character. It is quite interesting to that the shape(at least I presume you sit on the convext side) is not only suggestive but also ergonomically correct in the sense that it gives the highest support where the pressure is the highest to. The name says ... | |||||

| I do not know where to get the leather cover other than at Fritz Hansen, but yes, it is the same frame. The only difference is that the Allan screws of the model you have go from the top (with visible screw heads) to the lower frame, whereas in the leather version it is probably the other way around because the heads are not visible. In any case you have no thread in the top frame. You will need some so the best thing is probably to get the next size Allen screw (European standard measurements are available with increments of 1mm. Good luck! | |||||
| Furnitecture?...what a useful word! | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| Furnitecture?...what a useful word! It exactly describes what I think about when I am in a Wright building and looking at his furnishings. Its nice when a person can coin the right word and have it be more than jargon. The difference between the right word and a jargon word is the same difference between a masterful design and a good design. They both work, but one is definitive without need of further refining. | |||||
