| Better? That is an interesting point, how is the Vitra version better than the HM version? For the record, I do own the Vitra version of the lounge chair and I am considering getting another one (!), but this time a HM version. Some differencs I have noted previously in another post are (aluminium base differences, colour option differences). While different, I could not say that one is better than the other. | |||||

The "mould" can be anyhting that is strong enough and resists the heat of the acrylic. If you only want a few "products" layered MDF will do. If you want to make more than a dozen cast a mould in Araldit (Ciba-Geigy) | |||||

| up to you. the differences between NY and milan aren't huge. In NYC the markets are so saturated(meaning the lowest bidder wins a lot) that pushing progressive design is almost a dream....but it can happen. In milan you can maybe make furniture but you'll probably be making design for designers. i would think that the more international you go the more real it may be though(That's considering you want to be a part of the global community) BUT, NY is my vote. they'll push you hard and will let you know who you are...and where you stand. I'm biased. I'm in NY ... | |||||

| ... ? As to Eames (or others) working to a formula -- what formula ? Sorry if I missed something; I'd be glad to be enlightened. Is the LCW/DCW LCM/DCM set just the inevitable outcome of the earlier molded plywood experiments -- a mindless scientific inevitability ? Or do I miss the point ? I certainly don't defend the Eameses on patriotic/nationalist grounds, and I agree there are interesting differences between them and the Scandinavian designers -- as could be expected (despite the Cranbrook connection mentioned elsewhere !).

I do not know, and I do not care either because to me it is the best use of my few talents, given the challenges I see around me. The other day I was asked to make a new stoneware lid for an old stoneware jar and a week or so later I was asked to make a statue of a catholic saint (made with as much devotion an agnostic ... | |||||

| Well, I recently had a conversation with someone... that said he had heard about some somewhat counter intuitive results regarding door sizes and escape routes related to cultural differences. He said he had heard that some study or other indicated that Asians, Americans and Europeans responded differently to different door sizes for emergency exits. But when I asked him where he read this he could not recall. So that is why I posed the question to the group. In regards to your comment, I do think you are quite right that when a structure permits doors eve ... | |||||

| europe and then you have forgotten that 'european' style does not exist. the us seems to me as one big country with more or less the same 'taste'. but here in europe there are still cultural differences between the countries. we say overhere that germans design in a tough way (the products are solid but not so fine) as the italians/spanisch produces really nice and fine stuff (but they don't guarantee the same lifetime as the germans/nordic countries). countries in the middle such as belgium and holland are dancing between these to visions. | |||||

| The good thing is... that some of us on this forum seem to "click" and have empathy with one another in a rich and rewarding way... It is our human differences that are the link in the great scheme of things (whatever that is)... There is greatness in us all and weakness in us to boot... I've spent decades with relatives and friends waiting for just one glimmer of unique thought... Patience is important when you befriend nimrods... But well worth it when that blinding flash of light blasts forth... Good night my friends... | |||||

At first glance I mistook his work for Frank Lloyd Wright's. But there are differences. I highly recommend looking at Goff's work if you haven't seen it! | |||||

A major step in antropometrics was made by one of the "fathers" of industrial design: Henri Dreyfuss. Who published the rusults of measuring a large number of (mostly military) people in a book and charts called : The measure of man, human factors in design. His longtime collaborator and talented designer of a.o. office chairs, Niels diffrient, continued Dreyfuss' work and these charts are now available in updated forms. Contrary to Le Corbusiers Mo ... | |||||

| ... something handsome, that ages well and was designed/manufactured by people who love what they do, rather than sweatshop slaves employing textiles of dubious origin. Unfortunately, this is expensive, and getting more expensive everyday. I'm not endorsing the often outrageous prices that a lot of official manufactures suggest, but I think you have to look at it this way; owning anything is a burden and a financial liability. You are required to house and maintain it and transport it when you move, and perhaps even pay to insure it. So why not, therefore, make ... | |||||

This thread, was started as a discussion how lousy 1stdibs was, far from promoting it. I think LRF would agree with me on that, yes? I never called for this thread to shut down. I voiced my opinion, and LRF and room_606 voiced theirs, and despite our differences, I never called for the end of discussion. It was a good healthy exchange.
