| ... chair is only $215, so if they're modernica, they ask more for the second hand chairs than a new one. If I want to buy new Vitra wire chairs here in Belgium, they will cost me ?900 a piece. That's a big difference, if you know what I mean, so I really want to be sure they're Vitra, or vintage Herman Miller. I know someone who bought 6 wire chairs back in the seventies. I am absolutely sure they are real. However, I am not sure if they are Herman Miller or Vitra. Do you have any idea since when Vitra began producing the chairs for Europe?

| got to start somewhere There is a difference between 'honest' and 'unfinished.' Take a look at your Knoll table next to your bed. It is honest. It has a wood top and a metal base. No material is hidden. But the difference is in the finishing. Charles Eames' LCW exposes its inner ply and screws, but the wood is nicely finished and constructed and the wood is quality. I would not say that using low quality materials and leaving the stamps and markings on them is much of a design statement. I would say that this is a great source of fun and a great learning exp ... | |||||

| Yes, well, who doesn't want "a easeful and beautiful office"? Let's see: US is spending $1 billion/week in Iraq; China "owns" more of America every month: [fill in third possibly relevant fiscal reality of your choice] = the world is coming to an end. Why not buy ripped-off furniture design from Communist republic industrialists? What possible difference can it make? [SDR in foul mood as Neocons destroy America] | |||||

| YES YES YES Very important and very interesting difference. We saw that in Theory of architecture. TO PUT IT SIMPLE it is as dcwilson said: ornament = decorative form with function decoration = without an important function But now, IT'S NOT SO SIMPLE to agree When it's ornament and when not. To complicate it a bit, a complicated example: one could say that in baroque churches The angels in the dome -with no technical function- Have the very important function of marking the center of the dome. For Borromini it could be very important. But others could not a ... | |||||

I must admit that I have never found the time to read the "complete" Adolf Loos, I have never seen that distinction in the "crime and ornament" or any of his other well published (and translated) texts. As a matter of fact the word decoration does not show up in my copy of "crime and ornament" (in "Programs and manifestoes on 20th-century architecture" by Ulrich Conrads by Verlag Ullstein, 1964 or MIT Press Cambridge,1970). Of course we know that Loos, in spite of his manifesto used decoration or ornament on the in and outside of his buildings, bu ... | |||||

| Hi Gerrit Originally the cutlery was designed for A.Michelsen, a renowned Danish jeweler, 'Supplier of the Danish Royal Court' It was quite an unusual thing for them to do because it was probably the first time they did something in Stainless steel. I do not know why, but they were not successful and after some years turned it over to their colleague Georg Jensen. Jensen has always been a good in marketing and had at that point their own stores in several European and North American capitals. In a way that only northern Europeans understand they kept honorin ... | |||||

| That's right -- when both colors are present (in rosewood) there is a textural difference. But I have seen examples of rosewood with very little of the "red" -- and I've never seen a two-color stain job, have you? I would expect wood (why teak?) stained like "rosewood" to be more or less a dark purply red. Rosewood -- at least the darker parts -- would take a polish not obtainable in teak, wouldn't you say? | |||||
| Do not rely only on colour... | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Do not rely only on colour... teak is softer and has a less dense grain. The texture is more homogeneous, whereas the alternation between a more redish brown and dark brown in rosewood coresponds to a visible difference in density. This being said....why would someone stain teak to make it look like rosewood. Both are expensive woods and it is particularely difficult to stain a wood in two different stains one redish brown and the other dark roasted... | |||||

| Dear cracker I have no problem with these figures, on the contrary. 5-8% in design and development costs is a responsible figure. Beyond that (and I have argued this many times on this forum) you invite people to copy because a 5-8% advantage results in a significant difference for the consumer. 18% in marketing as an avarage between pharmaceuticals and nails by the pound, is probably accurate to, but you know as I know that in these 18%, research is only a small tiny part. whereas research is a rather substantial part in the 5-8% of design and development.. ... | |||||

| Thanks Thanks for your support. I couldn't do it without it; reviews like that of Austin's Barcelona chair are what really make a difference. So if you happen to have a one: let me know what you think! In the meantime let me share my plans for the near future. Besides reviewing the DWR Barcelona chair -it will take a bit because it's going to be delivered at my US address while I'm still in Amsterdam - I'm working on a second samples review and researching some background information on metals used for the frame. Also, I'm preparing to move my site to my own ... | |||||

| cont. The subject of the article is a slightly different story. Roger Martin's ideas on design and his hope that more business leaders would become or act as designers is a very important one. But that question is quite different from the previous one. Like a number of his collegues before him (Gilles Pacquette, former dean of the faculty of business and public administration of the University of Ottawa, to mention one)and like a number of design educators (Dr. Wim Gilles, founder of the school of industrial design at Carleton university and Dr.Jacques Giard ... | |||||

Within this forum context it is hardly possible to retrace the historical aspects of this all question but it might be good to remember that the origins of modern design were as much rooted in a social movement as in a cultural one. To bring affordable architecture and affordable products to masses was without any doubt the motivation behind the whole Bauhaus tradition. Ulm's School of design pushed the concept even further and I remember Thomas Maldonado "preaching" against the co ... | |||||
