| nope | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| nope nope i am a real designer, but personally i always want to make a difference between productdevelopment and design. as where productdevelopment is in fact creating new products or readapting old ones, design is something very special, and hard to describe, when becomes a product design or when does it stays just an ordinary developped product? Koen; do you believe in your point of view that those surgical instruments are worth being called 'design', even though you are known as somebody that in fact created designproducts, thus this means that everythin ... | |||||
| Difference between Modernica and Herman Miller shell chairs with dowel legs | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | frnturelvr | General discussion | |
| Hi all - When shopping fiberglass shell chairs, I noticed the Herman Miller fiberglass dowel legs chairs seem to have wider legs than the Modernica chairs (see pictures). Does anyone know more about this? Are the legs on the Modernica and Herman Miller chairs actually different? If so, are the Modernica legs narrower than "normal"? Thanks Modernica Herman Miller | |||||
| RE: johannes hansen 501 teak/cane authentication | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | Herringbone | General discussion | |
| I'll look for the first logo I can find. And your right, it might be that there's a difference between the advertisement and the logos on the chairs. It may also be that Johannes Hansen used the start of operations at his new, significantly larger Gladsaxe workshop in 1958 to introduce a new logo. But on the other hand: If you have a new logo, why not use it wherever you can? Plus: From what I read in Ejnar Pedersens book, Wegner, who designed the logo, was not the easiest guy to deal with. He knew exactly what he wanted and was not very indulgent, when his ... | |||||
| RE: Is there a reliable source for Moller tables? | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | Identification | |
| The problem, as I see it, with the credit on that table is that it looks extremely like the one made by P. Jeppesen. You can tell the difference by the bolts sitting proud of the legs on the Glostrup one. And I will say that the Glostrup one is very finely made. But that does not mean that Grete Jalk designed it and especially in the late 1960s and 1970s when the industry when dying fast and everyone was just trying to stay in business. Did PJ stop producing it and Glostrup take it over? Did GJ design an extremely similar table for Glostrup? Did Glostr ... | |||||
| RE: Looking for France & Son-compatible eeeee springs | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | Andersen | Repair | |
| not sure. I think they did it pretty well back then at France & Son. Also, consider the difference between placing those eeee springs versus elastic webbing. With eeee springs, you'll need two staples/side, with elastic webbing it's going to be a nightmare how many staples you'll need to place. I agree that the best would have been to put some fix hooks on the frame itself and to hang the eeee spring on there, as it was done at Getama sometimes. I still believe those must be produced somewhere today... | |||||
| design is emotion | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| design is emotion and nothing else... this 'emotion-stuff' is what makes the difference, in my opinion, between a '(engineer) developped' product and a 'designed' product. In this era where values as quality (are more or less the same at each competitive product) (and productiontechniques, basic materials,...; all accessable to each producer). designers/marketeers must make a difference so that they can praise their products above those from the competition, therefore they 'give' the products a kind of emotion value; eg cars; volvo-safety, bmw-sportivity, sm ... | |||||

| ... form it criticized functionalism for it's lack of emotional content and it's inability to satisfy people (consumers and users alike) in their need for emotional links with those products they surround themselves with. To think that the very nature of mass produced products does not allow them to have emotional content was a mistake and it becomes more and more difficult to support in a world where people are buying S.U.V. to compensate for their sense of in-security, and running shoes to belong to a particular sub-culture. ...as I understand it even "cool" ... | |||||
| Don' waste money on Knoll | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | Dredawg | General discussion | |
| ... in a showroom. Anyone would be hard-pressed to tell the difference visually and by sitting. These chairs are VERY high quality. Knoll is not worth what they charge. How else could they magically give 40 to 50% discounts and still remain in business? Why spend many times more for a "stamp" on the frame no one can see. Besides if someone is in my home and looking that close they are out of order. ONLY a fool or a snob could justify the Knoll price rip-off. | |||||
| RE: Finn Juhl Whisky chair | 1 Relevance | 4 years ago | Andersen | General discussion | |
| Thanks for this interesting post. The biggest issue for me when it comes to house of juhl is always about the use of walnut. Make this (and other chairs) in teak and you will see the difference. Walnut makes them looking like a replica of bad taste. | |||||
| RE: Wegner Cigar chair fake replica ? Please help ! | 1 Relevance | 4 years ago | Andersen | Identification | |
| very interesting, cdsilva, thanks for writing this. I saw the chair in person, and I felt an immediate difference in quality with for example France & Son. The armrests were nice, I have to say, but the construction of the back, and the quality of the teak used for the back was not as good as you see in France and Son pieces. That's overall a nice chair if you can get a nice upholstery, but I think it will never stand comparison with France & Son. That's at least based on my taste. Have a good day ! | |||||
| RE: Teak or Walnut?? Falster gentleman's chest made in Denmark | 1 Relevance | 4 years ago | Herringbone | Identification | |
| Hard to tell from these pictures. To me it looks like teak but it’s hard to capture the difference in tone in a photo. I’ll also say that the design looks like late 50s or so and teak would have been the no. 1 go to option back then for everybody. I know that some cabinetmakers did occasionally use walnut at that time but factories? It’s certainly not impossible but anything but teak seems unlikely. (As it’s obviously neither oak nor rosewood) | |||||
| Historians | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Historians I should have written: "last but not least" instead of the "last word". My intention was to include the historian's point of view, not that they should decide. One day we will have to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of involving other professions, like historians, in ours. I will argue that our natural reflex to do everything "ourselves" including writing our own history, has been a dis-service to the profession, but that's not the topic. Comming back to crediting the designer. I agree that it is a form of "taking responsibility" for the ... | |||||

This could be a feature for upgraded release, in fact if the ipod could be f/w upgraded that would be a huge + 2) but having a round wheel framed within the rectangular face just looks so much nicer than buttons! I may be wrong, but I believe the earlier genertion models had wheels that clicked instead of rotated, so that might make some difference or not 3) that sounds like a glitch 4) does it auto-power off then? 5) I don't understand what this means, but you can change the h ... | |||||
| Conservation and preservation | 1 Relevance | 23 years ago | Annette.sco | General discussion | |
| Conservation and preservation Koen and Azure chicken, thanks for references and I agree, up to a point, azure chicken about the beneficial effects of age on (some) surfaces. However as Koen has perhaps indicated in his technical explanation, is there not a difference between the effects of age on natural surfaces, stone, wood, pottery, etc and some of the more recently invented materials? Where stone is concerned I understand very well the difference between conservation and preservation and how it works in practice, since the building in which I live is ... | |||||
| RE: Teak or Walnut?? Falster gentleman's chest made in Denmark | 1 Relevance | 4 years ago | tktoo2 | Identification | |
| Definitive identification requires magnification and comparison to known examples. Teak lumber varies widely in both color and grain depending on variety and growing location/conditions. How it's milled can make a difference and long-term UV exposure can also alter appearance. The chest pictured displays nicely figured and carefully matched grain patterns and appears in good overall (possibly refreshed) condition. Whether teak or not wouldn't matter nor affect value, IMO. Both are considered premium furniture-grade hardwoods. FWIW, it looks like teak to my e ... | |||||
