| ... the most annoying. No other item in the home invites such class anxiety & status posturing (can you imagine anyone ever bragging that they don't own a turntable, radio, or CD player?). Needless to say, it's in reaction to the fact that lowbrows tend to own the biggest TVs they can afford, display them prominently, and watch indiscriminately 24/7. You see TV snobbery in the middle classes because they're terrified of appearing lower & thereby take great pains to differentiate themselves-- fretting if their TVs are "too" big or "too" visible within their sitt ... | |||||

| Modernist design contributed to the commoditization of furniture... by developing international form and materials languages. This has lead to most furnishings becoming mass producible and to designs that differentiate by superficial variations applied to basic forms. There is no need for a design auteur in many cases, because past design auteur's principles are widely, if inauthentically, disseminated through out furnishings. My analogy for all this would be from computer programming, where the early brilliant programmers developed elegant routines for many ... | |||||

FITZGERALD: You said that you felt that computer control --computer design and computer controlled machinery is really having a bad effect on the field. What is your thought on that? MR. KRENOV: Well, the Danes were the first to perfect the technique of shapers and templates before computers. [Hans] Wegner and some of the others. I had a little show in Denmark once in Copenhagen, and I had the honor of dining with Wegner and some of ... | |||||

Surely also (for the buyers) to get some selfesteem. to get some identity. to think that by buying the stuff they like they can express their feelings, emotions and personality. in a way we are same kind of shrinks... | |||||
| RE: Identification of Two Wood Chairs | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | lexi | Identification | |
| @havertz. At this point in time ,based on the photos you have provided, I can only suggest that the highback chair is most likely Norwegian. Does it have a reclining mechanism? Can you post a photo of the chair from the side? Do an image search for Arnt Lande "combi star" for Stokke, Norway,( my best guess) but there are quite a few very similar chairs made in Norway and trying to differentiate between them is difficult without good photos. | |||||
| RE: Another rosewood ID | 1 Relevance | 5 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | Identification | |
| @tktoo2 I doubt we will need microscopic analysis here. My expectation is that better photos will show that there is a veneer layer front and rear and stained Luaun or Ramin or maybe Beech, but one of the usual suspects. One does not need a microscope to see veneer layers over inner plies or to differentiate between a Blue Jay and an African Grey Parrot. Of course if it is indeed any sort of rosewood that would be very useful data too to identify the piece. | |||||
| RE: Papa Bear Chair ID | 1 Relevance | 3 years ago | cdsilva | Identification | |
| Definitely a legitimate A.P. Stolen chair, with an incorrectly-done reupholstering job. Multiple details are 1) paw construction, 2) seat framing shape, 3) 7 by 3 strap arrangement in that pattern, and 4) wedged tenon joint for the front legs, I’m not sure if there are design revisions that can differentiate early to later production. | |||||

| ... but also how do we make them beautifully. Beauty is beauty. Beauty, or aesthetic appeal, is one of many facets of a thing. Aesthetics are the rules of making things beautiful and appealing. Beauty is not function. Function is function. Beauty is not efficiency. Efficiency is efficiency. We learn this all the time in the innovative things we make. At first, all we care about is getting the function right and just try to make it as inoffensive looking as we can. But then at a certain point, we begin to try to differentiate our product with beauty, or improved ... | |||||
| I never had a problem..... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| I never had a problem..... Technically, when I first saw the Memphis stuff from the 1980's, I thought most of it looked quite weird and not at all part of the classic modern. So, the term 'post modern' was an OK term to differentiate that cutsy-poo Memphis stuff from the more architecturial stuff by Eames, Nelson, Jacobsen, Saarinen, Platner, F. Knoll, et all. For the most part, I don't care much for a lot of this 'post modern' modern. Exceptions are the Eames Sofa (1984) and the Tizio lamp. There's other examples I like too, but I'm stuck on the Bauhaus ... | |||||

| ... how each of these two player games mentioned above were actually engaged in, but that two player games tend to differentiate and settle into equilibrium strategies of competition and cooperation is pretty indisputable. And it is also pretty reasonable that unforeseen, or poorly understood outside forces, asymmetrically affect the two players and drastically alter their relationships, sometimes to elimination of one or the other. That's life, as Frank Sinatra sang. | |||||

| pt 2 Saab then rested on its advanced laurels, or at least appears to have in my modestly knowledgeable recollections, and sold the sizzle of aircraft aerodynamics (why anyone would prefer a car designed like an airplane, rather than like a car always escaped me, but they did in the 50s and some do to this day) and FWD traction in snow. I suspect a Volvo was more rugged, durable and easier to repair. A Saab was more efficient, pound per pound, slicker looking (many said just plain weird, but I liked them), but harder to repair, less rugged and less durable. ... | |||||
| I do not have any specific | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | cdsilva | Identification | |
| I do not have any specific documentation for your sofa. However, F&D often had 2-seat and 3-seat versions of their chair designs, and even grouped them within the same model number, differentiated by a suffix. Based upon the supporting frame design, the vertical coils of the backrest support, and the spacing of the vertical coils, I am confident that your sofa is in the 172 family. It would be fd 172/3. There is a good likelihood that there is a two-seater (fd 172/2) somewhere out there as well. The finish does not look original however. | |||||

As a gay American I am more concerned about civil rights and the current backlash, shamelessly led by some "Christian" (and other) leaders, against equality of status and respect in the community. If you think being celebrated as a gay designer contributes to such community respect, I support your cause 100%. As for "gay design" -- what is that? Who are its clients -- gay people? Do you propose to differentiate "gay design" from "straight design" (whatever THAT would be) in the media or in the marketplace? Th ... | |||||
