	RE: Bedazzled Rosewood Table	1 Relevance	6 years ago	tktoo2	Identification
	... and click on thumbnails that most closely resemble your sample). The magnified photos of end grain samples especially are indispensable for comparison and, often, the only way to differentiate between some species without hiring expert analysis. The site also offers good insight regarding often confused species typically labelled "rosewood" or "mahogany" for instance. A cheap pocket microscope or good magnifying glass come in handy, too.

	... 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. I appreciate the reply Leif. I can say with a high degree of confidence that this is not beech (which was, until your comment, the only substrate I had been familiar with in this type of construction), but I was not aware that tropical woods such as Luaun were also used. I'll try to DM you a better photo when I get a chance, if you're interested. Th ...

	If you meant the shape of the bases (?) that came from the Aluminum Group originally & that differentiates the European (& others) to the North American versions of the 670 & 671. I was tempted once to take home a Time Life chair...I like the chair but I am not crossing that line specially when they are still being used in a police station.
	It's largely semantics and entirely subjective.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	It's largely semantics and entirely subjective. The subject has been and will always be debated ad nauseum. We may as well ask what differentiates "good" art/design/craft from bad. For myself, I like art that "speaks" to me and artists that don't. The only logical conclusion to be drawn is that if the maker labels his product as "art", then it must be so, whether or not anyone else agrees. If enough find it desirable, the item(s) will accrue value and market forces will determine limits.
	oval base	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Fungus Mungus (USA)	General discussion
	oval base I think to be correct, the base should be an oval base. I'm not sure about the measurements though. I am sure that you'll pay a lot for an appropriate base. Remember, that base is what makes that table so stable and differentiates it from a cheap knockoff that is apt to leaning. Everyone that sits at my 47" tulip is amazed that it doesn't lean like they expect a pedestal table to do.

Brand recognition for furniture is generally very low, because it basically doesn't matter except as a means of differentiating price points. Every company just copies every other company, for the most part.

	I think it is possible to ide... I think it is possible to identify certain very well differentiated furniture without a marked specimen, or other documentation. But if you want to persuade another person beyond a reasonable doubt it may take quite a lot of time explaining. I have identified a couple of pieces of danish modern furniture this way, but in neither case was I satisfied until I had more succinct evidence (a catalog in one case and a marked specimen in the other), even though I already knew beyond a doubt that I was correct. I don't see that sort ...

	Patrick... Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities. focusing here primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature, and other media such as interactive media are included in a broader definition of art or the arts. Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or science ...

	... well. Later I tried a round plastic tote from ikea (no longer made). I have a big lazy susan turntable that I'm going to rig up soon, which I think will be the best solution. The trick in avoiding tangles (as differentiated from kinks) is to keep the cord from catching on loops of other cord in the spool as you pull it out. It will catch on loops of cord whether you pull it from the inside of the spool or the outside. It's much easier to tangle the 20lb spool that it is the 2lb spool, I guess because there are just more loops to be caught, the 20lb spoo ...

	... New Geographies + New Channels DWR most aggressively pursued new channels - and opened up lots of retail stores. This created CHANNEL CONFLICT (their online operations vs. retail stores) and it also made their online operations less competitive as their online operations suddenly were forced to collect sales tax. Note my careful use of words - "forced to collect sales tax." One can argue that one is supposed to pay "use tax" when buying from other online retailers like highbrow, but c'mon, let's face reality - this is not an enforced law and that's not ...

	... and emotionally and socially the embrace of what is temporally speaking, the archaism of modernist design and modernism. Contemporary persons cannot go back to the 1930-50s, even if they decide to embrace the goods of the period. Designers and producers and marketers and consumers have to reconcile the temporal gap somehow. Not everyone is a collector. The rising popularity of modernist design begins to take modernism mainstream and into the everyday lives of persons using products. Our products indicate significantly who we are and what we believe and what ...
	RE: Early Production Hans Wegner Cow Horn Chair?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	davidhunternyc	General discussion
	... Johannes Hansen, I keep thinking that there could be markings or something else that differentiated early chairs from later ones. Whether it be a mark, something small, or something large, it's about human history. For instance, as I've said before, I find it fascinating how early Eames shell chairs or lounge chairs and ottomans are different from later models. Sure, Eames furniture was mass produced but this was the modern era. Wegner chairs are a different animal but equally if not more fascinating.

	Please allow me to make a brief political statement. Donald Trump has been trying for 4 years to destroy my positive image of America. But he doesn't succeed. My parents taught me to look at things differentiated, so the Vietnam War and other foreign political accidents of the Americans could not destroy my positive image. Every country has its political skeletons in the closet, not to mention us Germans. So I hope - together with 90% of all Europeans - that Donald Trump will not have another 4 years of opportunity to destroy my positive image, and even if h ...
