| I get the impression | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| I get the impression that we are not making the difference between a brand and branding...on top of that we also fall in a very common trap: to call everything by the same name, so when branding is "in" everything is branding. When communication was "in" everything, including design was a form of communication, not unlike high tech, when that was still a fresh slogan, most things were Hi-Tech. I do not want to sound like Andy Rooney, but to me branding is not the fact that a particular brand is known...say Arabia, Herman Miller, Bodum, etc....and stands for ... | |||||

| technical equipment yep, in my opinion surgical objects are not 'designproducts', although by using new forms, new materials, colorcodes, etc this pure technical equipment can make a difference amongs its competitors and then you might speak (maybe) from 'design'. even more; when a surgeon has to choose between 2 products and his emotion will determine (not the technical qualities as they ought to be the same) which one he will buy, then yes even surgical instruments can be design...(not for the mass, or the patient but for the surgeon) | |||||
| Le Corbusier chaise longue | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | AlGarz | General discussion | |
| Le Corbusier chaise longue Alivar! They make great quality furniture pieces. I got a LC4 for the half price of Cassina after comparing both. No difference in leather quality and the structure was as good finished (or even better in the metal joints)as Cassina´s. I also compared a Saarinen Tulip table (laminate white)and i went for the knoll version only because Alivar doesn´t make the 137cm round table. On the other hand, Alivar´s prices are not so cheap ( Saarinen was almost the same as knoll) but quality is as best as it gets. | |||||
| retromodern.com if you want... | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Brandon | General discussion | |
| retromodern.com if you want... retromodern.com if you want the original, and you do. Most replicas only curve in one direction. This subtle distinction makes a huge difference in the overall apperance of the chair. There are also usually a few on ebay. Your best bet is to type in the search term "fritz hansen". | |||||
| Adman | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Adman What are the code requirements? Will an inspection be carried out? I ask because there is a considerable difference between "safe" and "code-compliant" -- the latter now generally calling for no openings larger than 4" and a 39" balustrade height, which is higher than the correct handrail height. One often sees the solution in commercial work: a tempered glass balustrade, with a handrail attached to it. On the other hand, one sees much residential work in European publiations, in which little or no enclosure is provided on a beautiful open stair such ... | |||||

| ... education. It would have been rather easy to incorporate this basic knowledge in the school curriculi, but it has rarely been done and in spite of some pressure from designers associations and others, schools and the education system seems to concentrate more on the disciplinary problems their outdated system is creating than to concentrate on making learning programs that are more relevant for the world we live in. The speed with which products and their performances and functions have evolved, has also contributed to an attitude of expecting something mor ... | |||||
| two saarinen tulip chairs | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| two saarinen tulip chairs I really don't know if it was a bargain: I bought two old single piece tulip chairs exact to the ones of Saarinen (not similar or "the same style"). I payed 100 eur for both of them. The foot is also in fiber glass, and a bit thicker (is the only difference). Somebody told me that they were copies, because the authentics were in two pieces (although Saarinen would have prefered to make them in one piece) so I've been looking for other two copies to have four, and I've realized that there is nothing similar anywhere. I wonder where t ... | |||||

In addition, 419-22 and 424 both play a little Cartesian (?) geometric game: in each of the three axes (N/S, E/W, up/down, or X, Y and Z), the members are oriented consistently in one plane only, each in the same realtionship to the other two. [Can anybody propose a more elegant way of stating it?] 267 is one of two full-size protypes of a table lamp or "lantern" (the other is of OSB a ... | |||||
| Think | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Think There is a big difference in discussing and debating a controversial subject where opinions run passionately to both sides of the issue and making pointed personal atacks at the person who hold the different opinion. Decorum and civility should not need to be discarded for intense and interesting discussion. | |||||
| White or cream | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Annette.sco | General discussion | |
| White or cream White can seem cold in Scotland where skies are often grey. I use a rich cream (British standard ref 10C31) on all walls with an off white on woodwork. This looks different depending on the light and also direction. My rooms face mainly south and east but also north and west (it's a corner flat with some rooms at the back). This colour can be touched up even years later without showing any significant difference in tone, ditto the white. I like walls (and wood floors) to be a fairly anonymous background - hence having this combination in 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." Ok. This subject has been beaten to death I know, but I do not see anything wrong with Modernica profitting here. Modernica profitted when when Herman Miller paid them to manufacture the ESU's for them. Herman Miller, at Nelson's advice, gave exact measurements of their furniture in their first catalog bc they knew their designs would be copied. In Nelson's words they were "keeping America beautiful." I recieved a less t ... | |||||
| prototype | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| prototype well koen, thx for your offer. But i cannot restart that project now again. Maybe the difference in age also sets a difference in workattitude; i cannot work for a long time at the same project (the longer i work on it, the more i am not satisfied with it). working on a project for 2009 would make me crazy! so i left the porselaine vase i wanted to make behind me. But maybe in a few years i will restart it again (but my view and intentions on its design will be changed). What regards kidino; nice designs but unfortunately it are renderings and ther ... | |||||
| Dear Kidino | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear Kidino First of all, it would be ill advised to make comments on an individual one does not know. I would not do that either. With some exceptions, to confirm the rule, we discuss ideas, products, environments etc. not people. Whenever a designer's name is mentioned, most of us mean his work, not the person. This being said, the "rat race" I refered to is what I see as this undeclared competition for newer products, not better products. My comment was intented as general, not as specific. The reason your work came into this discussion was that simple. B ... | |||||
| cont. | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| cont. The second difference is in the numbers. I would be surprised if the professional organization of designers in the U.S.A had 100 members in 1950. When I got interested in design, you could still count all the Belgian designers on two hands and a country like Holland that has now over a thousand well educated industrial designers had a hard time to find 20 of them in 1960. Of course we knew A. Copier, Friso Kramer, Meydam, Jack Linsen, Braakman, Rietveld jr., Wim Gilles, Emile Truyen, W. Gispen, G. Kiljan, Graatsma, Kho Liang Le etc. because they were ... | |||||
