	Yes, that is a nice affirmation	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Yes, that is a nice affirmation . . .somehow. I guess this just shows how differently people can feel about any subject. ( I sometimes wonder how we can communicate about ANYTHING, considering widely varied experiences and mindsets!) Joyeux noel.
	RE: Sideboard ID	1 Relevance	7 years ago	lexi	Identification
	@herringbone; Good question !! Erik Wørts definitely Danish. Erik Wortz/Wörtz best known for the "Kolding" chair/ sofa for Broderna Andersson and the flatpack version for Ikea. Both Swedish. Did he possibly design some furniture for Ikea in the 60's/70's and the Swedes spelt the surname differently?? There appears to be a dearth of info regarding Erik Wørts life :-one site gives his DOB as 1916 and death 1997, but no documentation/source to back this up. Perhaps someone else could chime in. Lexi.

	The prices realized should re... The prices realized should really have little to do with your assessment of quality. If the Nakashima table was only estimated to fetch $1500 to $2000, would you consider it differently? I understand the pricey disdain, LRF, but to be fair that is probably not a very reasonable point of departure in a rendering of aesthetic judgement. My experience as well is that photographs do not do these pieces justice. And the auction houses spend down to the last letter considerably more time and money photographing these lots than almo ...

	... Spend some time looking through books and studying the photos. I have begun to appreciate that shape is more important than a specific design or brand. With this new insight and a sharpened eye, I have found some terrific lights that don?t all scream look at me, but rather help to unify the space while providing illumination. I use dimmers on everything allowing me to adjust the illumination for any mood including high intensity focused task use. I am an avid user of up-lighting and bouncing indirect illumination wherever I can manage. It is tempting to fil ...

	... Vitra reissues. If it was between a current Howard Miller clock vs. the knockoffs, I might feel differently. When it comes to furniture, though, you're not only buying a look, but QUALITY AND USABILITY and I wouldn't plunk down my money for a knockoff made of questionable materials. Other than my handful of Nelson clocks, the only other knockoffs I own is a fairly good quality Wassily chair in black leather and black crinkle-finished framing and a Eileen Gray metal and glass round side table. I got the Wassily for $200.00 locally, at the beginning my sear ...

	... Seeing a showroom floor full of Kjaerholm items would have definitely been a sight. I can only speculate how it would be to see these things so readily available, and to know that it was within reach (no pun intended) of the common consumer. In retrospect, I suppose the analogy of availability might be seen no differently than seeing Rashid, Graves, or Aram items today. I'd like to be able to say (with conviction) to others that at one time, you could get a complete Saarinen dining set from a store like Macys.

	... academic ball licking. They often research things, because they can, not because it needs researching. I would say Koen may, in his ususal cultivated way, be describing what my more earthy acquaintance might call architectural ball licking. Some of these buildings are being built in these algorithm driven shapes, because they can be, rather than because they need to be. That being said, I have worked with computers a lot and I have never worked on any problem on a computer that the software and interface did not shape in some way or another the limits and w ...

	Probably not possible	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Probably not possible Looking at the bottom of the alu executive chairs and the alu lounge I can tell you that it is probably not possible to retrofit the executive chair into a lounge. The antlers that hold the frame of the chair onto the column are different between the chairs. Also, the column itself attaches to the base differently: the executive chair has about an 8" column that fits into a threading mechanism, allowing the seat height to be raised or lowered. The lounge has a distinctly shorter column (about 4") that is bolted into a pivot. I couldn ...

	... are going to reupholster our swan settee very soon and will see it stripped, but I'm pretty certain that it is one shell molded of the same material as the regular swan. Design-wise, I think the swan settee is a better realized design and the base is different that the regular chair and it feels a bit more considered. The womb settee looks like what it is, a "stretched" womb chair. Though they sit entirely differently, the swan more a formal "sipping tea" kinda' vibe while the womb is a deeper, more kicked-back relaxed feel. My 3 1/2 year old loves to sit i ...
	Let's get out terms right	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Let's get out terms right LRF: You and I are on the same page about what is 'original', 'reproduction' and 'knockoff'. It's a lead pip cince that Fritz Hanson is making Jacobsen's Egg and Swan chair diFFERENTLY from when they were first issued. All of the foam-filled pieces from Knoll and Herman Miller are using a better, different foam product, because history has PROVEN that the original period foam gets hard and difficult. THINGS CHANGE...and yet, the new ones can still be called "original". So, let's get our terms straight; ORIGINAL (VINTAGE) - self expl ...

	... Ford in post WWII American car manufacturing. GM cars were routinely more stylish (setting styling trends and pushing them farther and more frequently) the 50s and 60s than were Fords, but were often less rugged and harder to work on. GM prided itself on leaps in engineering of engines and chassis (GM's small block, ohv 283ci V-8, unibody construction (elimination of separate frame and body) and Hydramatic trannies, which were touted as superior engineering (and they were in some respects), but were first and foremost cost saving moves by GM meant to exploi ...

	Don't just talk about the source, just name it. Alley-oop!Maybe you should put on your glasses, the block of wood connected to the backrest doesn't look the same, it's designed differently.And furthermore, on old photos of the Langelinie Pavilion, which was built by Eva and Nils Koppel, you can see a lot of MCM furniture in the interior, but not a single furniture design by Eva Koppel is included. What could be the reason? Well?
	RE: Mystery Pair of Chairs	1 Relevance	6 years ago	Raijin	Identification
	Thanks for the input, someone else suggested Parker Knoll but in looking at their examples, while there was some similarity in the shorted arms that do not go the length of the base, they were put together differently enough that I do not think it is them. It is like some red haired step child of Parker Knoll and Vladimir Kagen that tries too much to achieve too little. In any case I will fix them up and put them back into the world as interesting if unusual pieces from a former age.
