	Olive	1 Relevance	19 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	Olive "I found the book to be negativistic, bitter and just plain depressing" I can certainly see your point here. I guess I looked at it differently. I viewed it simply as a quest. Quests very rarely do not have losses and negative aspects to them. It's the ending we always learn from. I looked at it simply as a way to learn through someone else's experiences. As far as the LVL, I can certainly see you point on sustainability. I ca see how a simple shed would satisfy your goal. I remember some chatter that the LV series might be customizable into having ov ...
	any one for a Tourbillion	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	... the irregularities of time. The Tourbillon, a small cage containing the escapement and balance-wheel, offers all master watchmakers the possibility of making their biggest dream come true: to achieve perfection in a mechanism's running. Indeed, a watch runs differently according to its position. the heart of the movement can beat at different speeds, which causes discrepancies in the time given. The Tourbillon was therefore invented to average out errors of rate in the vertical positions, caused by the earth's gravitational pull on the watch's movement. Thi ...
	quality	1 Relevance	19 years ago	room606	General discussion
	... ugly and cheap looking (which is what you would expect on a 29$ IKEA chair). I'm not impressed by Fritz Hansen quality from this decade, be it chair, egg or otherwise. I got flamed for saying this previously on this forum, but, I don't see their new production differently than that of other knockoff producers. In their case, they happen to be the authorized manufacturer, which leads many to believe they manufacture as the original examples were produced.

	... least for most Danish Modern) he chooses trick the eye into seeing this piece so differently than most other cabinets like it. Maybe this articulation will clarify it: Wegner "removes" from every design to get to its essense. This process of removal strips away distractions and dilutions of the affect he is trying to create. What I'm fundamentally interested in is how he creates the visual effect that the stripping away permits one to experience with greater purity and robustness. Past DA posts and responses have helped me already understand how the magicia ...
	Mystery object	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... put on little clear rubber feet so as not to scratch the glass surface of my desk. Throughout the day I will occasionally glance at it, and even though it has been there for three years, I still get pleasure from look over at it. The point to all this is how a simple lovely shape can be so beguiling and luxurious that it can evoke such tactile pleasure. I can feel your passion for the answer to this mystery. It not only stems from basic curiosity, by a quest for more information about who may have designed such a lovely object, but yet excercised such restr ...
	RE: Authentic Papa Bear?	1 Relevance	5 years ago	Andersen	Identification
	My conclusion with this kind of pieces is always the same: do it the right way. Never had such great piece, but messing it up I would regret forever. And there is plenty of mediocre upholsterer that will tell you doing it differently does not matter, it does !!

	Leather care...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Leather care... Leather varies. Google leather. Read up on the different classes and thicknesses of leather: top grain, etc. Leather can be rejuvenated from almost any state except cracks and splits, if you work it long enough. Thick leather naturally is more durable and absorbs more oils and so can be brought back from the dead more than can thin leather. The problem is getting leathers to match AFTER rehabing with cleaner and oiling. And I frankly don't think an amateur, or even a professional, can get the consistency of appearance that you probably want. ...

	I know...I know... ...but this little project was irresistable and I have never done a complete building. So it was too tempting...sorry to disappoint you. In general I agree Don that unless you are still young enough of heart to re-invent yourself with each and every project, there is a time to leave it to the generation that is going to live with it. Back to Niemeyer "the red"...I suspect that the big red block has something to do with his political convictions... Starting from the idea that we as human beings, are not complete without our "tools" (that in ...
	Hi	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	... on that over-tall cabinet (which I love)..all it does is draw the eye to the grille on the wall! I like to make vignettes..grouping of related objects..whether by colour or texture..As an example, the Aluminium group chair with the Knoll pedestal is nice..but the picture is ALL wrong..(colour, frame, scale) The group of black and whites you have, nicely hung as a group, would make a better foil to the chair and table. Try to make things within the setting overlap..so the eye is drawn gently across the scene..not jerked from one point to another..makes it m ...

	I confirm in the 50es that logo was not used on adds, differently than fritz hansen, Carl Hansen, RY mobel, who used their logo. Not really relevant but this goes to the original ID request. Apparently already in the 50es (also) this Wegner chair had replicas Attachment: 33DB729D-581B-48B8-943E-D4C809FB04B0.jpeg

	Happiness is a good space	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	... looking at the millions of 'McMansions' built here in the US, but look inside these places and you'll see that each occupant lives in them differently. Reactions to color, texture, lighting and even the function of space varies a lot, not just culturally, but person to person. To my mind if a home makes it's occupants happy, then it is a good design even if I hate it. I have seen the inside of a lot of people's homes in my work and most of them horrify me with their clutter and over-decorated-ness but many of the people are just thrilled with their homes. A ...
	back to the first question	1 Relevance	20 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	back to the first question when wright came to work at sullivan and adler's office he was almost immediatly given charge of residential projects. sullivan disliked designing houses and did so reluctantly. I do not know of this dispute but it seems that sullivan would hardly care. also when it came to form, sullivan's quote was used very differently than when it was popularised by the modernists. when he and adler were partners (most of his skyscraper projects) adler designed the building and sullivan did its facade(s). in the same way he had no interest in h ...
