	SDR	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... sanding floors while we lived there. We also needed a kitchen and bathroom that were functional. We may not have made it an example of high design, but we could not live with the "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" aesthetic that had been cultivated over the decades. I'm afraid that if we tried to live with the existing conditions and waited for the house to speak to us it would have said "GET OUT!" in the middle of the night from somewhere deep below the basement. There are certainly things I'd do differently if I had to do it over again (like hire someon ...

	... let me know, and I'll do what I can to help you fix your chair. Architect - Sounds like your shock mounts are constructed a bit differently than the vintage ones. The older mounts don't have the brushed metal base. It's actually a rubber to rosewood connection. Even so, I agree with your assessment. If it's pulled away cleanly, re-glue , and enjoy. Finally, I'm just curious if there's any update from FurnDesignStudent. Is there a new shell to show?

	I started to reupholster one ... I started to reupholster one of these once but gave up in frustration. The frame was not made in the conventional way. Some parts had been upholstered before assembling, which made it very difficult to re-do without taking the frame apart first. In addition, they used thin plywood where normally there would be webbing or burlap stretched tight, like on the sides of the arms, so it wasn't all that comfortable. Maybe yours is made differently. I've gotten lots of good quality MCM-style upholstery fabrics on Ebay and at PA Fa ...
	Plastic second hand and Spain	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... as decorative. By using two differently painted hemispheres, the clock actually tracks seconds as they pass. It's also clear why this one never went into larger scale production. It's impossible to see the stubby hour hand from some angles because it's blocked by the second hand, which sticks out from the clock a couple of inches. If you look at the picture (thanks for posting rockland), you can't even see it from the angle from which the photograph was taken. As for the Vitra exhibit, the presentation at the Fundacion Barrie in A Coruna, Spain was marve ...

	A question related to this... A question related to this discussion: Which blonde woods age faster, or how do they age differently? For instance, the Nelson bench is maple. The Eames plywood seating in blonde is in ash, and I wonder how these compare to birch as well (birch is used for rocker and dowel bases).
	All this	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	All this delightfully illustrates how different people see things differently, and want different things -- that is, have different associations -- with a given piece or set of pieces of furniture -- and how, therefore, there is no "right answer" when it comes to selection and pairing. What seems natural and inevitable to one, is "too much" (or "too little," or "too common" or "too bizarre" ?) to another. Great stuff. . .

	It doesn't have to do with he... It doesn't have to do with height - it just sits differently. My eiffel bases seem more upright.
	One more thing	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Modern Millie	General discussion
	One more thing If you think we should configure the shelves differently, I'd love to hear suggestions on that as well. Obviously we haven't loaded it up yet - just got it mounted this weekend. We'll probably put a vintage clock somewhere on there. And we're trying to find a chair that is fairly comfortable to sit in of course - something that we pull out for guests (if our oversized, overstuffed sectional can't handle anymore!) - I like stools but might not be great for that purpose.
	I've never seen this variation	1 Relevance	18 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	I've never seen this variation with the trundle pull-out, and loose back cushion. The side pieces are differently proportioned on yours, and the bolts are differently placed, too. I'm baffled, sorry I can't be more helpful.

	... they are also NOT uninformed. They just see things differently than I do. My dad just finished his third degree with honors. That should tell you something. Just because someone is republican, Christian, and traditional doesn't mean they are uninformed and/or unintelligent. Just different. And they are the ones who suggested that I start buying modern furniture!! I find over simplified generalities of someone based on their geographic location, religion, political views etc to be much more offensive than someone poking fun at your choice in bedding! Luckily ...
	Yea, I was probably too strong	1 Relevance	17 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Yea, I was probably too strong about T. Kincade (considering how touchy I can be), but the piece that was done for "60 Minutes" got well under my skin; he's one of those "nice, new age" suburbean types that I enjoy making fun of. In my opinion, people who buy Thomas Kincade and display that stuff on their walls, probably shop at WalMart, go to Church a bit too often, probably vote Republican and most probably own guns and hunt for Bambi each fall. Nice people, but probably a bit uninformed! (None of that stuff appeals to little ol' me.) Now, I'm living in ...
	Shotck mount alternatives	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Poach	General discussion
	Shotck mount alternatives Peter, I think you're fighting two distinct battles in convincing people to use your shock mount alternative. First, there are the purists, wanting to maintain their chairs in original condition, as-intended by the designer. These are the sort who run bias ply tires on their vintage cars, because it's "correct" for the car. You're probably not going to change a lot of minds here. For everyone else (myself included), I think the skepticism stems from concern that our chairs will behave differently than expected, or that the your sy ...

	... chair itself. I've been scouring eBay and Craigslist and other places, hoping to find a differently-ruined Eames lounge chair with a salvageable back shell. Or just disposing of mine, which is gathering dust in the garage. This diY account gives me some hope of saving it... I have most of the tools, some cabinetry experience, and I used to work with composite structures in aerospace. Granted, I know Kevlar and carbon fiber better than fiberglass...

	so agreed it is post modern brutalism. however I still think this space is amazing, and surprised at the assessments of how awful it is, especially considering Marcio Kogan's reputation as one of Brazil's leading figures of architecture. I respect your positions but I see it VERY differently. I think this is an amazing space and my opinion is one that comes from 20 years of working in the fashion and furniture industry, mostly on the retail side. What is it that stands out in these photos? It's the furniture. Think of this building and its interior as a sh ...

	And just so you know... That top table is heavy as hell. That one leaf alone is incredibly heavy. The two sides of the table pull out easily though...so that you can insert the other leaf. But you pretty much need two people to put the leaf in unless your Hercules...otherwise I'd be too scared I'd drop it by myself. And the chairs were not original to the table. She just already had them in the store, but they work really well with it...I thought they were the original chairs for the table before she told me differently.
