| RE: The Last Thing That You Acquired #57 (Post Pandemic Edition) | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | Kyle Barrett | General discussion | |
| @frankielemmons That's my fault, I saw FD109 and assumed FD116 without a photo, specifically because you started talking about 3 versus 2 backslats. Being a bit of a sucker for that design, I am particularly aware of that exact difference in versions of the FD116, but apparently I am not particularly anal/aware when it comes to the model number! | |||||

| Finally... (Thank you drs. for speeding up the process) The last difference between modernism and post-modernism is the unwavering believe of modernists in progress, hence the idea that one could start a major mouvement of education of the general public as well as the integration of creativity into the restrictions of the production process. None of the modernists believed that this could be achieved in one generation and most were convinced that it was enough to put the seeds of their ideas in the minds of the next generation to see it develop. In the midd ... | |||||

| OK, did wonder I did wonder about the accuracy of the "solid rosewood" info, but bear in mind this was Steelform "admitting" that they use plywood - if anything they were implying that Vitra's were better! I can quite understand that maybe these chairs *all* use plywood with a rosewood veneer, if that is what you are saying - in this case Steelform were simply incorrect in what they told me about Vitra, which is fine - I think they were trying to be complimentary about the other company! I am happy to check facts, but this is why I am asking here - websites ... | |||||

Well, all this after paying a good 1/2 a month of the average household income in my country. I brought the chair back, and the merchant was kind enough to give me a brand new one. However, I am so afraid that the back is going to fall off, I have forbidden any seating on the LCW. ITs for display only. My point is, I do feel that there is a difference in ... | |||||

| Thanks for that info. It looks like the only difference is the height and shape of the back. I googled 'Flynton' but can't find if it refers to a designer or style or what. I know Matt Blatt sell a lot of cheap copies of original classics. | |||||

| ... effort" should include the cultural context in which we work, no matter what period. There is a text of the french philosopher Michel Foucault, in which he expresses the expectation that authorship will eventually disappear, because what is been said or written will be judged on it's own value and not on who said it or who wrote it. In design we obviously have a long way to go. As for the motivations to continue to improuve on the objects that surround us, I think that, apart from improuving things and doing it in a creative way, one of the important motiva ... | |||||

| Debate Hi there, I'd like to talk about MM comments. There is a huge difference you do not mention in your aguments, between buying a rolex or buying a design object. I will personnally never (ever) buy a fake rolex, cause the most important thing in a Rolex is precisely the mechanism of the watch (I actually love watches, specially Rolex mechanism). Buying a fake Rolex, or a Magnum Ferrari (a 308' look like, but not even a Ferrari engine), is a non sense, as far as you can love those brands. But the most important thing in a design object...is the design it ... | |||||

I bought it in birch finish - although, in retrospect, I probably should have purchaed it in the white finish. I'm happy with it - I almost considered buying a similar bed from Bludot in a maple finish, but both look so similar, and the price difference was significantly lower for the ikea one. David | |||||

| RE: Unknown Danish armchair | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | lexi | Identification | |
| @molassekoeniggmx-de. I have tried to identify these chairs or similar ones before. Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen is attributed as designer . You will find examples that have Soren Willadsen labels but these have stretchers between the front and back legs but, other than that difference, they match your chairs. Maybe the stretchers were added for stability? And Soren Willadsen apparently did not do much advertising; Link to previous discussion; @leif-ericsen posted some useful information. https://designaddict.com/community/identification/need-help-with-a-soren- ... | |||||

| Yeah, Sanna and Andreas who go under the name scandinaviandesign101 are among the most knowledgeble, nerdy and prolific experts for modern furniture design on the internet. They release a new video every week and it's certainly not a waste of time to binge watch all of them. Especially if your interested in Swedish furniture design, their going quite deep into the matter, but they will also teach you about how to tell the difference between Poul Henningsen's lamps. | |||||

| OK, let's try this again I am not sur Gerrit, that we disagree that much. The characteristics you are mentioning are what they are: characteristics. What I ment was: language. The difference to me is a difference in the level of development. Much like hunting down a deer, holding it long enough over an open fire and and eating it to restaure your energy and even accumulate some fat, is not a form of culinary culture...yet. What you mentioned about the lack of acceptance of products with these characteristics is generally true. In other words it illustrates m ... | |||||

Many attemps to change this (into something more ergonomic) has been unsuccesfull, so we are still using the typewriter form.
