	I know it's Albers-like but...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	deedee9:14	General discussion
	I know it's Albers-like but... I know it's Albers-like but it's hard to definitely say it's a repro of the yellow piece because every photo I've ever seen of the yellow homage piece appears differently due to colour shift variations. It's brighter than what I recall having seen at the Tate. The piece is not signed on the front in any way. More details to follow after I can examine it more. Thanks everyone.
	Yeah --	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Yeah -- a dark leathery brown or green -- or whatever (you're the color lady !). I think the material can be had as thin as 1/4" or 3/8". . . Alternative: chocolatey 1/4" tempered hardboard (Masonite) ? Fallback: since the oak top is different from the other materials used (so would take finishes differently anyway), filling and finishing just that would make sense, rather than staining the whole piece ? You could give it a thick and durable coat of urethane or something. . .? Enjoy !

	... adjustment knob for the adjustable-height table was round and on the front side. Herman Miller reissued the adjustable-height version ten years ago, with the same T-shaped support and round set-screw knob. Vitra produced one, too, but with a coaxial adjustment collar and a U-shaped support -- that's the one pictured above in Whitespike's and the_beloved's photos. Recent Chinese knockoffs also have the coaxial collar and the U-shaped support. Herman Miller only produced the reissued table for a couple years, but I think Vitra still makes theirs. Your Warner ...

	... I've found that as I discovered and delved into things, that the original (i.e. vintage) are the most interesting and honest to me. While many of the objects and furnishings in my home can be attributed to a specific name, I also have anonymous pieces and I do not slavishly worship the "approved" designs or designers. I do have a pretty well developed aesthetic sensibility of my own and respond to designs based on their merits and my own critical assessment. Not because someone else has given them a stamp of approval. Nor do I pay excessive amounts of m ...

	I'll echo fastfwd's... I'll echo fastfwd's statement above. But with that said, I can't imagine prioritising form over function for a tool like a computer. I don't view a computer any differently than the planers and sanders in a woodworker's shop or the spanners in a mechanic's garage. I just can't justify performing productivity tasks more poorly in the name of aesthetics. My first considerations will always be the functionality of software and hardware. And anyone that believes that Apple has cornered the market on software and hardware functionality need ...
	What am I missing?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	What am I missing? Does this device require two hands to operate? If so, don't all the other paper-towel roll holders work just as well as this one if you use two hands to operate THEM? Besides giving you a way to keep the roll dry when both your hands happen to be wet, what does this thing do differently than those others?
	Dumb luck, I guess	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Poach	General discussion
	Dumb luck, I guess Can't claim any special magic when it comes to surface finishing. I defer to SDR's obvious superior knowledge on the subject. I think I was just lucky to have a fairly clean break that went back together without much of a struggle. Also, I really think the wood conditioner is key to color consistency. I should probably do a hindsight list of things I would do differently. I'd also welcome suggestions for improving the process.
	Funbidders	1 Relevance	16 years ago	ite (BE)	General discussion
	... bet serious money that this is reason nr 1 for 2nd chance offers: bidders stricken with bidder's remorse that never follow through with their end of the deal= paying for the item. It's pretty damn annoying these non-payers, and Ebay does not seem interested to do much about it. In the end you as a seller need to find a new buyer. Your best bet is to contact the people that already did bid on your item in the first place. Unfortunately, when you contact them with a 2nd chance offer, most people don't trust it -as you already did mention. There was a discus ...

	... a lasting attachment to one toy, the child flits ever faster from one to another, the greater the number of toys, the more frantic the pace. There is no reason that, later on, he or she should treat people, a friend or a lover any differently. As an advocate of the one-true-love approach, I dreamt of a single toy that would serve as an apprenticeship for the lasting human relationships that await our children. A surreal toy, TeddyBearBand stimulates the imagination, considerably more than any mere plush bear. It removes love and friendship from the realm of ...

	... person shopping there is shopping for a "look." They usually don't know the full design history and every last insane detail which would elevate a piece to greatness. That's where the dealer comes in. Chances are the "look" the buyer wants would exude a special sense of taste and intelligence. The dealer is paid to sift through all the "close but no cigar" mid century crap to find the real gems. Gems that the buyer has the money for, but obviously not the time, energy or interest in learning about. They want to appear to be worldly and knowledgeable without ...
	I think people have to...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	bj	General discussion
	I think people have to... I think people have to accept that written word 'sounds' different than when its spoken or thought about in ones own head. One can try to imagine the others sensitivities, but text can and will always be differently interpretated. We are, ultimately, all different. Apart from that, I think DA is a place that brings people together who have common interests. Why undermine this with responses that provoque the opposite? Back to the thread please...

	I think... but not sure, unless we pull up some photos, it's a different animal. Built differently for each seat. I need to redo my Wegner seats and am researching all the variations i have seen. In these two quick photos i found, it looks like the construction accommodates both seat finishes.
	jajaja ..	1 Relevance	18 years ago	supereightmm	General discussion
	jajaja .. thanks for the replies , i know that and i appreciate the feedback , but if you read carefully , the reason for this thread is to find who made it to see if they still have fabric from this pattern so i can mend / restore some damaged parts . or later re- cover it if i need to .. so , lets leave the couch builder aside , Anyone knows where i can get fabric like this one ? i really like it an i dont see myself sitting on it if it was reupholstered differently thanks
	The RIGHT light colored table might be ideal	1 Relevance	18 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	The RIGHT light colored table might be ideal ...but this one is a warm color, and the chair seats are cool/neutral. Next to the chairs, the table looks almost pink. Colors read differently, depending on what color they're next to-- cools can make colors next to them read even warmer, complimentary colors can amplify undertones.
	Yes	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... made differently at some point, stranger things have happened and they do job out components to different vendors, but every one I've ever seen had a segmented base with the seams running vertically. It has to do with how the base is constructed. The legs bolt to the horizontal member. The sofa is model 65 and measures 90"wide, 31.5" high and 30" deep. The chairs are model 65A and should be 34" wide with the same height and depth. The design was produced between 1958 and 1973. It would be interesting to see the receipt.
