	teak loungers one piece seat	1 Relevance	12 years ago	LCA	Identification
	...it seems I never find furniture with any markings...I research a great deal but am once again confounded by trying to put a name to the features that may differentiate these chairs. I have 3 of these lounge chairs...teak and each with a one piece seat. I was wondering if this style of chair is actually commonly described as a lounge chair...it seems the classic lounger has the loose two cushions and is more low slung with some kind of a slatted back rather than sitting on a base like the one piece seat does on these. The arm also seem a ...

I use reds and blues because they give a strong purple when mixed under the right conditions. But I'd love to move on to red/green, for instance. The pale pinks and greens of spring, and the strong reds and greens of Chinese art, are both delicious. Red/green mixes can sometimes make interesting if muted tones. Of course there is a world of color out there. If I could display some images in a gallery, on screens that viewers could manipulate, per ...

	... department), and 3. Arne Jacobsen. And Fritz Hansen represents the stool's design as a collaboration. The simple fact that at one time model 3170 with through bolts was represented as a 'FH' design, and at another time model 3170 without through bolts was represented as an Arne Jacobsen design does indicate much of anything in the context of the Danish furniture industry. It was not uncommon to see design credits change over time between a designer and the manufacturer. On the evidence presented by Jesgord, I think you can say that Arne Jacobsen was the de ...

	APs, of course, are often... APs, of course, are often numbered as well (as are HCs and PPs). They're numbered in their own sequence: An edition of 150, with 10 Artist's Proofs (160 prints total) would be numbered 1/150, 2/150, ...., 150/150, then AP1/10, AP2/10, ...., AP10/10. Some artists also differentiate the APs by numbering them in Roman numerals rather than Arabic.

	"I DON'T SELL FAKES!"...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Tulipman	General discussion
	"I DON'T SELL FAKES!"... The credo of every phony peddler this side of Times Square.My friend found a supposed Breitling Bentley watch on CL.I researched it,and recall some subtlety about the bezel and the stem that would differentiate a genuine model from a fake,and when it failed on both counts,and I pointed this out to the seller,he screamed the above in the midst of a busy mall.Nonetheless,my friend was quite grateful I saved him $1500 bucks.Damn convincing copy,though!

	Sign of the times, I suppose I have purchased from them because they maintained a brick and mortar retail presence and inverntory; although, I used there online mail order division as I do not live in Atlanta. I found their telephone sales staff to be enthusiastic and helpful - imagine that! And, they provided fun incentives for mail order purchases. I received an autographed copy of An Eames Primer once and some nifty tee-shirts for my other orders. I wish all retailers were keen enough to differentiate themselves in some way. While the cost of these items ...
	I'm not sure what you're	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I'm not sure what you're asking. You said you want to know the face value of the furniture, and you want to know what it's worth. That is what this board doesn't allow because the focus of this board is on design, not monetary value of things (though that does come up in discussions all the time as many of us here are collectors---it's just tha the forum isn't a free evaluation service for people looking to sell this or that). So, ok. You have well-made furniture by a respectable manufacturer. You have looked at prices online and see very high numbers--- ...

	I have a few thoughts, but none of them are very definite: -very likely from the mid 60s (earlier designs would not have need to differentiate themselves as much). -probably not a very well known designer for the same reason. -occasionally those lower handles are called "orange slice" handles and associated with Kai. Kristiansen. Don't know why and don't consider it very credible. -Kurt Østervig is a target of attribution for sideboard that look like this. Don't think there is much to the attribution. -hope for a label. It would be the very best opportunity ...
	There are better reasons to avoid those Barcelonas.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	... When you write -- before choosing anything but a rug -- "I know where I want everything to go in this space (there really aren't a ton of options here as it is such a small living area)", that says to me that you're not starting with a broad-enough set of possibilities. Where are you geographically? East Coast of the United States? If you're near New York, get off the internet and go visit some furniture stores or places like the New York Design Center. You'll see a lot of things that you can't afford or that aren't exactly right, but some of them will ...
	Oh	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Oh I'm not quite that bad.. But it really boils down to packaging, surely..and the recognition factor? Coca Cola aren't turning blue overnight, and there's a reason for that- and degrees to that reasoning. On a personal level, I have 2 homes and several bookcases, so can differentiate between 'subjects' like that..

	70's	1 Relevance	19 years ago	James Collins	General discussion
	70's At least in household furniture a lot of the high end modern stuff from the 60's/70's seems to still rely on forms and functions from the 30's 40's 50's; but it seems to want to differentiate itself with very superficial aesthetic variations but no real challenge to the fundamental definitions of how people interact with furniture. Every bedroom still had a 6 or 8 drawer Mr. & Mrs dresser with a big mirror. They were onl;y challenging how things looked but not how they worked. http://
	Finlandia	1 Relevance	20 years ago	room606	General discussion
	Finlandia The glass sculptures in the Finlandia Series are absolutely beautiful, like blocks of organic matter diffusing light. Has anyone seen those personally? I think those are the pieces that more completely differentiate TS from Wirkkala - though Wirkkala created a few pieces in that aesthetic as well. TS must have been an incredibly calm and energetic individual. I was hoping someone had a personal experience with him and could add a little color to the picture...
	Sex(y) design?	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Sex(y) design? To quote (again) musical comedienne Anna Russell (on the advertising industry): ". . .Meanings can be created clearly WITHOUT rationality. . ." Methinks there is wishful thinking afoot, in ascribing special (recognizible?) characteristics to the works of gay designers. Isn't it difficult enough (assuming it were necessary) to differentiate the works of male vs. female designers? SDR
