| whitespike, none taken.... whitespike, none taken. Hence the smiley. I can't even imagine being offended by a differing view on a sofa. Ah, yes, the Organic Furniture competition. That could be the connection, although I can't remember it being mentioned in conjunction with the Pelikan chair. Perhaps the answer is in the Finn Juhl book I picked up at the library today. Pegboard and M_Andersen, thanks for those elaborate answers. From what you are telling me, the comfort level seems just right. I agree though that it needs its space to really shine.

| ... them to explore and indulge in their own nostalgias beneath the surface, while on the surface paying lip service to the academic endeavor of systematizing some new organization of knowledge. To make life simple, you want to pick a group of thesis advisors that are about the same age, or of differing ages but with the same ideologically driven nostalgia, and then contrive the scope of study and case studies to fit the common ideological nostalgias of the thesis committee. In turn you can view your thesis advisers as a focus group for a broader book market n ... | |||||

| ... (hopefully) original thought; the search for the 'best' solution versus the reaization that any given form is subject to a limitless number of possible (minutely differing) variations...? And as for originality, it could be argued (and maybe Keon did argue) that originality and 'good' design may have (or should have) nothing to do with each other...more's the pity for those of us whose egos require it! | |||||
| RE: Wegner Sawbuck Rocking Chair? | 1 Relevance | 3 years ago | cdsilva | Identification | |
| Hi Mark. I can’t recall what I wrote last week, let alone 2016, but I don’t believe there are any legit CH28 rocking chairs. If you Google Wegner Sawbuck rocking chair, you’ll find other examples. Detail comparisons with legit CH28 chair, including differing backrest construction and wood type, help confirm the rocking chair is not CH-made. | |||||
| LRF | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | whos that? | General discussion | |
| LRF In all honesty I'm sure you're a nice person and well meaning. But you're a drag on this forum. I mean that as constructive criticism, not an insult. You contribute frequently and often have good ideas. Your presentation and attitude is disgraceful though. There are lots of differing viewpoints on this forum, and we like hearing them all. Some of them you and I will agree with, some we wont. You do yourself a huge disservice if you rabidly counter each disagreement with some crazy ranting post. Calling people Nazis is not going to prove your point ... | |||||

| ... porcelin and the clay ceramic combination. I know, I know, I am talking very simplistically here, when a building is a complex of foundation, structure, infrastructure, skin, load requirements, and roof covering constrained by building codes and budgets and site topography and road linkages. But what the hell! Sometimes inverting a problem briefly can free a mind. I recall the fellow, Paolo Soleri, who built the quixotic Arcosanti north of Phoenix, AZ, USA. I believe we on DA talked about it once quite some time ago. He built different parts of it with diff ... | |||||

| ... second floor store which can probably be had on the ground floor elsewhere, and then hike back down a hill with even more packages? This is not a rational thing to ask consumers to do, and so it is not a rational thing to ask designers to design. It is like asking designers to design concrete airplanes. No doubt a concrete airplane is possible with big enough thrust (so is a building with a hill in it, as Heatherwick proves), but who will use it after it is built, when the alternatives are preferrable? Everyone, and perhaps most of all designers, have to re ... | |||||

| thanks vintagestique, look like a 100% match to that chair. but whats the differnce between him and matteo grassi? i read its about length of armrest? now that you mention mart stam, i remember a college furniture history class talking about how him and breuer went to court over the tubular cantilever chair is the way you tell the chair as an itialian reproduction is by the exposed hardware? guessing Thonet was the orginal manufactor of the chairs back in the 1920-30's. i am guessing these chairs are late 60's to 70s? | |||||

| Unsure of what manufacturing... Unsure of what manufacturing standards there maybe, if any. Where are you Koen?! It seems about right to me. Each person would get roughly 27 inches of side-to-side personal space. That would place 4 persons on either sides and one on either ends of the table. How will the food be presented? This will make a differnce. | |||||

| . Adam, cool sofa, I have the chair. For a knockdown piece they are absolutely rock solid. As for the other comments on here...I think someone is owed an apology and the less anonymous the forum is the better. Even though it doesn't make a huge differnce I like knowing a bit about Whitespike and where Olive lives etc. It makes for richer discussions when you can refer to especially relevant things or ask advice about an area. Why don't people use their real names online? I've never really understood it. | |||||

| It is worth I think this subject has been covered in prior postings. It makes no differnce what the seller has paid for an object and a item is only worth what a person is willing to pay. The object in business is to pay as little as possible for an item and to sell for the greatest profit possible. | |||||

| I see some parts that are brilliant, but the whole doesn't work for me... I've thought about Pawson's church for awhile, as I'd seen these pics some months ago. Several parts of it work. Most of the interior succeeds admirably, while the exteriors IMHO do not. There is a distinct disconnect, or discontinuity between the exteriors and interiors of the flat roofed portion. The exterior is very industrial modern looking, while the interior is very spiritual modern looking--almost to the point of a joke. I do not find the industrial modern exterior organically i ... | |||||

| . Other often used tricks to get a harmonious result are repeat & symmetry. Repeat. For instance, you have a (marvellous) red Womb sofa. On a table nearby you could create a cluster of glasswork and /or ceramic pieces of differing shapes, but all fully red in color. (eg, ranged on a table from the strongest red to gradually fading in color intensity, or alternatively, all in exactly the same color red.) On the What is on your walls ? thread, Robert1960 has posted a very nice pic of a form repeat with a picture and a cluster of glass vessels. btw Mark, I very ... | |||||

| I second that emotion...on the 300 Pt.2 Generalizations about European tastes might be--a similarly wide range margin to margin, a similarly substantial middle, but a different common thread of subtlety and virtuosity. European design for Europeans seems to me almost always more subtle and thoroughly worked through, even in flamboyant applications, than does equivalent American design for Americans. American designs--good and bad--hurry to effect. Compare a Mies chair with an Eames chair, a Mies or Corbu building with a FLW or a Gehry building. The Euros wor ... | |||||
| Since there is no apron base | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Since there is no apron base to which the legs attach, I am going to assume the legs screw directly into the bottom of the carcass. So first I would unscrew all the legs and check that they are all identical in shape, wood species, quality of finish, threaded bolt, and especially tool marks from the lathe. And I would check to see if the threaded inserts in the center of the carcass match the outer ones. If there are differnces, I would conclude that a middle set of legs was retrofitted to correct a sag. If not it could be that the factory came to the reali ... | |||||
