| interesting comments | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | jonsan | General discussion | |
| interesting comments Yes, an older bubble lamp that has yellowed emits a spectrum of light that is different than what the designer originaly intended, or at least experienced. A difference not unlike that of a new Akari lamp vs. and old one with yellowed paper. My house is old and full of older pieces and I do like the "patina of age", or what is to me an inherent vibe that only age can bring. With that said, I have tried two different types of fluorescent bulbs with different white points and they each give the lamp a very different feel. | |||||

| Deep Design vs. Shallow Design Pt.1 First, the above comments are all illuminating to me. Thanks. Second, I'd like to add that it is important to discount, or allow for a tendency to oversimplify about, the good old days of the past. There were frankly a relative handful of great masters of modernism, as there seem to be a handful of great masters in any age of design or the arts. Further, there were a great many modestly talented persons working during the era in which these great masters of modernism worked. So: the past was no Eden. But even when we disco ... | |||||

| Why vs. How gets to the heart of it...Pt. 2 Michel Foucault, were he still among us, would probably argue that Descarte's articulation (i.e, his bringing inner discourse into public discourse) that triggered the duality between why and how was likely coopted by the power network of society to create epistemic institutions that would increase the control of the nation of people by limiting its opportunity set of choices by instituting the answers to why (or by institutionally marginalizing the answer to irrelevance so as to increase the tightness of constrai ... | |||||

The younger programmer gave up elegance and dexterity and insight that ... | |||||
| gerrit raised an interesting subject | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| gerrit raised an interesting subject on the difference between design directly influenced by art on one hand and design as a coherent component together with art in a larger cultural mouvement. Of the first one there are numerous exemples.Wim Gilles has mentioned several times that his biggest inspiration for his cast iron coal stove was Henri Moore. The second seems difficult to find outside the modern mouvement and some of the mouvements that introduced the modern period like the Art Nouveau period in which you find art both in painting and sculpture works ... | |||||

I have never refused any invitation to speak for students and have done so many times. Many have visited for a short or longer period. The only reason why my list of young designers is unlike the one magazines create is that I prefer to look around me, observe, and discover young people with great talent (much more than I ever could rely on) and hope that with some encouragement and help, when needed, they w ... | |||||

Eames cushions can also be bought separately at High brow furniture ( http://www.highbrowfurniture.com/seating/products/67071/). But is fairly pricey at USD$1372 for a set.

| Greed. | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| ... is kind of like the difference between a table made by the Amish, and a similar looking table you buy at Ikea. One will last you 8 generations.. one will last you through college. One costs a lot... one is cheap. Why is it cheap? Because it is inferiorly made, with worse craftsmanship. If you want absolute proof that greed is the driving factor behind cheap repros look at customer service. If a company believes in their product, and wants YOU to believe in it, they will provide excellent CS. If a company wants to make a buck, they will treat you li ... | |||||

| If it's not an original,... If it's not an original, then it's a knockoff! I think that it can be as simple as that. But there is a difference of knocking off something very blatantly and being inspired by something and adding a twist to the design that you want to "redesign." | |||||

| I like the notion... of object oriented modernism as Olive puts it. But historically the main difference is really the result of two different traditions in modernism. The Eames' are not part of the more "Germanic", over rationalized Bauhaus tradition. They are through their Cranbrook education part of the more "crafts oriented" Scandinavian tradition. In this context the simplest way of differenciating the two is that one (Mies and the Bauhaus tradition) considers the home as an object, whereas the Eames' and to a large extend the Scandinavians consider the ... | |||||

| Ok. So I talked to a... Ok. So I talked to a neighbor who refurbishes cars. He suggested starting with the red rouge. This was after I used the white. I held the drill in one place for almost the entire length of Radiohead's OK Computer ..... barely any difference with the white! With the red I noticed a lot more results. I just polished a bit around one of the side legs. It seems that if I keep this up then it will work pretty damn good. I noticed that the polished area with the red actually has slightly less luster than the other old spots (the base actual ... | |||||
