| ICF Chairs | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | jackiesc | General discussion | |
| ICF Chairs Thanks for the posting and link. The site has a rumbling explanation of what is modern furniture http://www.europebynet.com/modern.html and indeed has a large range of ICF armchairs, but doesn't really address the question of the difference. Does this one qualify as a "Aluminium Group" chair? http://www.europebynet.com/modern.html | |||||
| About White on White | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | thatsmack | General discussion | |
| About White on White I purchased a black barcelona chair from them and there is quite a difference in the quality of leather and the craftsmanship. This is one of my favorite pieces and I have gone to several retailers and discovered a big difference. The best reproduction I have seen so far would be Design Within Reach and a store named Modern Classics in Arlington, Va. who sells it for $1000.00, but I am also still looking. Like I said, there is a big difference in leather quality! I can't see myself spending over $4,000.00 at Knoll for this chair. | |||||
| ESU help?! | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | phmod | General discussion | |
| ESU help?! I too am interested in an ESU. The incredable price difference between Modern Woodworks and HM and the fact that no one in my area has the HM on display has me leaning in the direction of Modern Woodworks or Modernica. Has anyone purchased from either? Any feedback is appreciated! | |||||

In your proposal one would have to make a similar but different standard grommets for many different thicknesses of sheet materials. Holes visible from both sides are often in thinner material than 1/8 or 0,125" which is the other reason for this simple piece to be unusual. Last but not least, the smooth surface does not allow for any grip to thighten the two pieces, which in most constructions is a given. The least you will find is two small holes fitting a special t ... | |||||
| For a moment there, | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | deaddigits | General discussion | |
| For a moment there, I was confused. I'm not a professional, but I do understand the difference betwixt a lamp and a fixture, I suppose I was careless in calling it the former. Confused, because I was trying to imagine a (fixture) design company arriving at a new product beginning with heat output and then designing it based on what they could assemble from a big box of parts. I suppose a hint would have been the lack of relevance that the BJB and VOSSLOH-SCHWABE websites carried for me. I have to laugh a little at the image of a design firm attempting an or ... | |||||

| doh indeed yep, that wasn't too clever. Don't have a link to an image of the chairs themselves on a site and as I can't post a pic... The basic shape is very close to Finn Juhl chairs on the link below, ref. DC80. The difference is that the seat is wider at the front edge and that half of the top of the front legs are visible outside the seat shape- same dimple shape as on the top of the back legs. In this feature the seat is a lot like the 1953 Bovirke manufactured chairs(as seen on the architonic site under Juhl p2). The curved laminated side bit joining t ... | |||||

| ... paid a lot for it, or merely passing along the conventional conservator's advice? The fetish for "original surface" -- which has become widely known thanks to "The Antiques Roadshow," surely has a basis in fact in the world of historic conservation; the fact that such pieces are more highly sought after by collectors is allowed to imply that such collectors actually PREFER to see their furniture in that condition, when it may only be that they can claim, and cash in on, the higher value that such pieces bring, in the market. Which came first, the chicken o ... | |||||
| Ahh.. | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Ahh.. I was wondering about the difference between extruded and cast..Thanks for clearing that up. I've read about special drill bits and saw blades for acrylic, but my Lucite sheet had a sticker on it that said to cut or drill with wood-working bits and blades. It must have been cast, I take it. The special for-acrylic saber saw blades and drill bits, then - these are for EXTRUDED acrylic, yes? I read that to prevent cracking, 1)don't drill too close to the corners of a sheet, as koen instructed, and 2) back the sheet with a block of wood, and, with the ... | |||||

Education needs to focus on design or re-design perhaps but how much true invention{orginal design) do we see in the classroom.The question remains is there any real difference?I think we all must surely see design in most cases as re-design,if not simply styling!Copious footnotes are a mark of acacdemia but they dont make the obvious profound. | |||||

| Thanks, this is very useful.... Thanks, this is very useful. I am happy to be corrected about the plywood, and reassured - so it seems as if there is no structural/material difference between all the variants, just in how well the materials are chosen and put together (I remember a comment in the Barcelona chair debate where someone said their Eames 670 backrest had been glued to the frame rather than screwed). From this point of view, yes it is other users' opinions I seek since the only chairs I can try physically are Vitra. Does anyone know the quality o ... | |||||

But he's getting in control of his own hands (which seems to me the real concrete reason for doing all this sort of thing) and he has a much broader and deeper grasp of a lot of forms and construction than other kids seem to have. And he learned to read quite a bit sooner than other kids without me trying to MAKE it happen. Lastly, don't think you need to buy everything new. Go to garage sales and thrift stores. I decided early on after watching him throw away expensive new ... | |||||
| Well... | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Well... There used to be a small rubber tool on the market to make wood imitations in paint. When you use it with stain, you can actually have a visible difference between the darker and the lighter parts. The other method that has been used is to stain woods with a high resin content (in your part of the globe Stephen the most obvious would be Oregon Pine) The stain would not be absorbed by that part of the annual growth that holds the most resin....but you are right, it does not come close to a real "two color" stain. By the way, is it just an impression o ... | |||||

| I think that... there is a problem with not seeing the difference between "liking the idea of designing..." and liking to design. I suspect that if you could see that difference, you would not ask yourself the question. As most professions that require talent, you have to ad two more things to make it happen, the first one is motivation. If you have the talent and you are motivated you are ready for the next step : knowledge. The three together will always be succesful. So do not ask yourself, will there be a job waiting, or is it worth it. Ask youself if yo ... | |||||
