| ... lucky descendant), the company Vitra has been authorised to remake some of his clocks. These are pretty much identical to the original Howard Miller clocks but there are some slight differences. The main difference is that the new Vitra clocks are battery operated, whereas the old clocks are powered by wiring. So to answer your question, buying a Vitra clock (re-edition) will be as close to the "original" as you can get. Vitra as a whole, do make high quality items. Any other modern remake is an unauthorised copy. | |||||

| Oh Whitespike, will you ever learn... the difference between me building a replica of an Eames house and Modernica, is that: 1, i will not be profitting from it, only enjoying it. 2, as stated earlier, I would not undertake this venture without the permission of the Eames Foundation, or namely Eames D, who I'm sure would grant me measurements.

| Dali.... would also love the way we got from Marcel Breuer to Gaudi...by train. To get back to one of the many topics on this thread. The difference between an section of an ellips and a parabolic curve is that the starting points (called origins if I remember well) of a parabolic curve connects with the straight line (or surface)in a straight line not as a tangent on curve. | |||||

| sorry... The most common printing process for film is flexography, although there are some high quality labels done on rotative screen printing. The difference is easy to see. Flexography always shows a slightly darker line around all the flat surfaces (excess inkt pressed between the rubber plates and the film. Screen printing is cleaner but is sometimes less accurate on the registration (the way the different colours fit together. again...good luck!! | |||||

| Dear ycl Sorry I missed your interesting comment. I agree that one can learn both from excellent, good, mediocre and even bad architecture. I did a few times a confernce on the products that I designed that failed on the market. My main motivation was that one learns often more from mistakes than from doing things right. This being said, I disagree with your assumption that a larger cultural difference would be a better educational experience or pedagogical setting. My profession of industrial designer has allowed me to travel to many parts of the world and ... | |||||

| Dear dcwilson | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear dcwilson In searching for the reasons behind the difference between Carlo Molino and the Eames' I do not think one has to look further than Azurechicken's contribution: ".. much of his work was site specific,one of a kind..." Prouvé pieces confirm the same point. They were already exclusive or rare at the start. No matter what the "design" quality is of an Eames piece, it will always be, the "originals" will always be available in rather large quantities, which will not suit the ambitions of someone willing to pay millions for a piece of furniture.

| ... chair might not be the most comfortable ever produced, but then again, many of the 'modern' chairs were designed not as much for comfort but to be aesthetically pleasing. Several of the Eames desings weren't that comfortable either, but I don't see anyone dogging those chairs. If someone wants to buy the Barcelona chair because they think it is pleasing to the eye because of the design(not the price tag) than that is their prerogative. They can use it or not. That is up to them. What is the difference between buying a lovely chair to look at and maybe u ... | |||||

| Well, It may be obvious, and commom-sensical, but I'd never seen it put to well -- and no-one told me anything of the kind, when I was in design school. (Could forty years really make that much of a difference?) It's funny -- the simple truth is sometimes amazingly obscure, somehow. . . Thanks, Koen, for being a good advocate -- for what's real. | |||||

| It's particleboard... really. Amalgamated shreds of wood. Not the waxy brown paper bag stuff that is MDF. I do indeed know the difference and was martini-free when I wrote the above! I've had no problems at all with it, friability or not. As for daiquiri's here's a great website http://www.drinksmixer.com/ | |||||

| Ah. ah, ah. . . C'mon, now -- there's a BIG difference. Particle board has tan particles about the size of large grains of sand, and acts like a sponge when it gets wet. MDF is like dense brown cardboard and is much less friable. But it's Saturday night, so enough of that. Can you make me a Daiquari (how the hell do you spell that)? I think Blu Dot is cool. . . | |||||
| Surely | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Surely there is a parallel question: is "real" jewelry (Brit.: jewellery) necessarily more valuable ARTISTICALLY than "paste," costume, or "junk" jewelry? The only tangible difference is the value of the metals and the mineral gems, natural pearls, etc., and perhaps in the quality of workmanship. If a renowned jeweler or maker had chosen found objects of little intrinsic value, would this diminish the artistic value, or only the assay? Or perhaps that is what you are asking. . . | |||||

| what are you trying to achieve by restoration is the questions Firstly the above discussion is straying into the article posted in New York times about how original does a piece need to be to remain original and valuable I think it is important to set your self a target for what you are trying to achieve in restoration. Are you wanting the chair to be as it came out the factory looking fresh and unused or simply to clean it so that you can carry on using it. As azuredchicken correctly points out the color og his wishbone chair is a wonderful mellow. This is ... | |||||

| ... to be in Germany. Unless US workers are 2 times cheaper than German's workers, there is no reason for such a difference. And Concerning shipping, let me add that Europe is smaller than the US, so deliver from spain to sweden is not a bigger problem than deliver from LA to NY. And there is no import taxes into European Union members. Concerning the demand, it could have been superior to the US demands (which is rarely the case), but at this price, no way. | |||||
