| ... 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 it all....but old school marketing people would have put a "K ... | |||||
| Olive and the Pyramid Pt.2 | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| ... debate about what we ought to preserve of antiquity than argue that we ought to let all of it, or all of the outdoor stuff, anyway, waste away. It just seems so irresponsible to future generations to me. It seems like we're squandering the inheritance of future generations by letting the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx just keep being weathered and ruined. There are many reasons things should be preserved, but I will give you my major one, fiirst hand experience. Experiencing an artifact first hand, in the way it was intended by its maker, is one of the ways h ... | |||||

| ... that much about it, even auction certified items can be sold as original but are just copies. One other thing, if you want to collect true vintage items you have to combine both the detective and the hunter's skills. The only difference is, that when white siberian tigers will be totally extinguished, you won't go hunting fake ones, this makes a difference with design items: billions of them are design chimeres. Good luck. | |||||
| Rare vs. Desirable | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Rare vs. Desirable Says Mr. Barrion of ModernLoveDesign.com of chair colors: "As a dealer, I believe there is a difference between "rare" and "desirable". They are not always the same. For example, a lot of dealers say orange (Red Orange) is rare. I personally wouldn't consider it rare because it is one of the Standard colors, but it's an extremely attractive color for some, and because of this it's quite coveted. On the other hand, colors like Grey Light or Greige Light are not as popular, but I would consider them rare because of the Contract designati ... | |||||
| What? | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | ChrisG-52 | General discussion | |
| What? It was only 47 years ago. When looked at through the lens of history, time becomes compressed. Looking back from some future time, that 47 year difference will be completely negligible and any new modern desk designed in 1959 will be looked at in the same or similar context as one designed today. Not like one from some different epoch. Regardless, do you really think we have some void of good design since 1959? I guess I don't understand what point you're trying to make. PS. Nobody posted "about time" before your post. Who are you quoting? | |||||

| design for the people Not a fully-thought-through idea, but here's an analogy to consider: If you and I are OK with losing the Knoll or Herman Miller sticker, and we can get the "recipe" for the Eames desk, what's wrong with building our own? It's technically possible to build, at home, the same dinner you'd pay $300 for at the Four Seasons, right? If you care more about the food than the presentation, then what's the difference? | |||||
| Shock! | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| ... is that the pyramids are antiquities not old things. There is a difference for me. An antiquity is a symbol of man's development, the beginings of civilization. The pyramids are a 3,000 year(and older)visual record of human development. Old things are stuff that was well built and hung around and people used them and fixed them and kept using them. Like cathedrals, roman bridges and shaker furniture. The pyramids are monuments. I'd rather see them fade monumentally and disappear then become a Las Vegas style recreation of themselves. Although seeing a recre ... | |||||

| ... the tourist demands spectacle, however the tourist cannot tell the difference between a mud brick made 3000 years and and one made last week, but when Roman and Greek architecture is jumbled up, and sometimes below (archaelogically) that of the ancient Egyptian stuff there is a BIG problem.. I have listened to a guide telling me that the Roman statuary predated the Egyptian stuff that was clearly (to the trained eye) a 1000 or more years before it ! More care need to be taken, not just throwing up whatever happens to be laying around (and it is )..or a fals ... | |||||
| I agree with Robert | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| I agree with Robert that it is neither the most efficient, nor the most suitable way. Just the lack of "cross-motivation" between students would already be a major difference, but the question was: can it be done?. As to the tactile quality of design...in how many musea are you allowed to "feel" the collection and in how many schools is there a substantial collection of products to do the same thing? I do not dispute the quality of the tactile experience of designed objects (especially for blind people) but that is not the question. I would rather have a wo ... | |||||
| I have to agree | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | whitespike | General discussion | |
| I have to agree I don't like the term, but I was simply trying to be helpful and answer a question. I have no reason to believe this kind person desires to know my opinion of the term "retro" what it means or the difference between it and "modern." But of course - if he/she desires to know more please ask! The people here are always willing to educate on the subject of modernism. And - if you don't want to know, please feel free to ask anything you need in order to get your question answered ... after all, it is a very nice gesture you are attempting to make ... | |||||

| Interesting. There was a story published a few weeks back, about how IKEA items are copied by local craftsmen in India - where (it was said) IKEA has no plans to open stores. Perhaps China's new affluence makes the difference ? | |||||

| > can't help you with the markings, but I have seen some pretty bad fakes, and usually what confirms it is how the legs are welded to the main part. I don't know how to describe it but it is a pretty big difference. Then again, you might be talking about the bertoia fakes that have the exact same joinings in which case my advice is totally useless - goodluck! | |||||

| o thanks for the input, Olive. My Aunt's suggestion was to paint it as well - it is always neat to hear from others and see what they think. And I think there are items at IKEA of a durable nature - for example - their cabinetry - at least what I saw - came off as much higher quality than those of the on-campus apartments where I live - I would imagine there isn't much of a price difference either. | |||||

| I forgot to mention That I agree completely regarding drawing a difference between the aim of IKEA - low cost - at the sacrifice of material, construction etc (not that it is a bad thing either) - and what I am very interested - what you speak of, quality & design - and will continue to think about it and what its possibilities and limitations are | |||||
