	Pegboard, thanks for sharing.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Gustaf	General discussion
	Pegboard, thanks for sharing. Real is a poor choice of words. The examples are largely based around pairs of objects which are supposedly 'real' and 'not real'. The problem is that they are totally different in purpose and function, as Brent implied. And for decorating purposes, I actually prefer plastic over live flamingos. They could have used 'original', as in the end titles, to avoid this problem. Either way, I feel the ad should have been executed differently. So what is real? The film doesn't really give an answer. And why buy from Herman Miller when t ...

	... do not see anything special. The building tells me little if anything about the time it was built in, it does not relate to or comment on current architectural trends in any radical fashion, nor does it use materials or consume energy in any novel way. There is much talk about CNC milling and using computers to achieve nonstandard shapes and forms, but it seems to add little more to the architecture than cosmetics, and is not really as unique as it comes off in the article. Other parts of the text raises some questions, like why the ceiling was lowered. The ...

	... eventful life, and not be untimely cut down because some jackass decided to stack them at an angle. (I use jackass as a hypothetical - certainly not you specifically, Simon) The past 2000 years of bookbinding have been built on the assumption that books will be stacked side by side on horizontal shelves. Everything about books has evolved around this standard: from the depth of the square, to the number of sewing stations on the spine. All of these things are the 'human factors' of the book, so to speak. Imagine a car where the steering wheel is centered ...
	teapot	1 Relevance	18 years ago	yoDesign	General discussion
	... But if you looked at the number of drawings I did to get to the final design you would see that it was not derived from her teapot at all. I filled a whole A2 detail paper pad and more to get there. It was a real struggle. But what do you mean "in the craft tradition"? Yes, it is hand made but does that take it out of the designer field? I feel differently to you about the "things that serve me". I have a pair of champagne flutes and red wine glasses that I bought in the late 70s, Dartington glass. They are beautiful and absolutely fantastic to drink from. ...
	That's what makes it so confounding	1 Relevance	21 years ago	cracker	General discussion
	That's what makes it so confounding Modernism came out of marxism and probably, the eye being visually tired of historical decoration. That's what makes the conversation with the my market researcher / conference attendee friend so confounding. Differently than purification cycles in the 1880's or 1960's....this time It seems luxury might suffer from the weight of its own popularity. I have conflicting tendencies. I still like nice things but the broad availablity makes 'em much less attractive to me. Maybe this means we're on the verge of something new.

	I wouldn't take offense at... I wouldn't take offense at that. Based on the fact that you two don't know each other, there is no way for anyone to know just how much you know. Besides, my father is 6'4 and finds the chair very comfortable. Everyone sits differently. It sounds like you sit very upright, and my father must slouch. I don't have to slouch since I am only 5'10. Either way, a perfectly comfortable chair can be uncomfortable to someone else.
	Sorry SDR...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Sorry SDR... I do not understand your first question, could you formulate it differently? As to catenary curves, these are indeed interesting because they ar formed by the weight of the material they are constructed with. Your dear father came close, but the overhead electrical train lines are not completely catenary because they are the support structure on which a additional horizontal wire (the electrical conductor) is hanging. This gives additional weight. The same is the case with Gaudi's models still to be admired in the basement of the (still under co ...

	... ground. I would love to be a minimalist, but I've got way too much shit. Minimalism, in the Pawson, clean-white-interior, description is something akin to monogamous relationships: committment - to a style, a very small amount of things, and a strong love of those things. And like monogamy I think humans are all wired very differently. Some can handle it, some cannot. Practical minimalism is striving to reduce. Like all forms of expression there are those on the far edge -like Pawson - who create a zone in which the vernacular can flourish. I think wh ...
	just a rant	1 Relevance	18 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	just a rant I feel ya, Barry. Criticism can be a real bummer. I hope you realize, though, how hard it is to be direct and polite sounding in text. I am assuming that no one meant any harm. I like your place a lot. Are there things I would do differently? Of course there is. There isn't one room on this board that I would take as is. That's what makes the world go round. If you are interested, here is my two cents: There is a tendency for a lot of us to put all the goodies in the main living area. Make sure you save some for more intimate areas ... the bedroo ...
	I did a Test drive	1 Relevance	18 years ago	bustelo	General discussion
	I did a Test drive I could not resist and have occasionally wondered about altering the sitting angle on the DCW myself. While I love looking at it I rarely sit in it. Those low slinky lines are not compatible with creaky bones and joints and getting up unassisted can be a chore. As an aside, I have some previous experience in altering the Eames aesthetic. I elected to tinker with the backrest on my DCM the first day they arrived. I shimmed the bottom of the shock mounts to tilt the backrest forward mimicking the DCW. The DCW backrest is angled differently a ...

Asking people on a public forum for help, then providing only a portion of the information needed for that help, in a way, makes them complicit in this "crime" Refusing to post a pic is not only detrimental to your cause, but insulting to the individuals who you are asking for help. Pony up a pic of the object.....or stop asking the generous, knowledgeable people on this forum for their help. I realize I sound like a hard-ass, but hats just my 2 cents. Clearly, others h ...

	... got for 9 dollars that consistently sells for 150. It is crap. So if i sold it i would say so and just want some money back. Some people feel differently about certain things. I'm now trying out my third set of dining chairs. The first set i saw in a magazine and they looked fab, but not for dining, just looks.(you can't lean forward, as they were designed for theatre. Comfortable, but not for eating) Just be honest with photos. Some women wear shoes for looks. Hurt like hell. Fashion over function.

	I love them	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	I love them I've got two in front of my fireplace and a couple extras folded away for visitors. I think they are great "slumming chairs". I do agree thay are not so great for folks with 'old bones' or back/knee problems as they can be hard to get out of. My cats adore them as personal kitty-sized hammocks, though. The folding frame I don't think is really the issue with the occassional flimsy feeling, but the relaxing of the fabric. I always notice that they sit very differently when I've washed the covers. David, does circa50 sell just the leather covers?
