| great design.... | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| is often difficult to define in words but images if it never lie. To me this is great design, it brings us so much closer to what Huizinga defined already in the late 30ties as a new status for mankind: Homo Ludens: the playing man...a great lesson for all those lost in the original-form-rat-race. http://www.thefuntheory.com/ | |||||
| Do kids consider modern design cruel & unusual punishment? | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| The Creative Playthings hobby horse mentioned in the other thread reminded me of my own preferences as a young child-- I liked my colors garish, my textures plush, and my art highly representational. Is there a child on this earth who would choose hobby horse A (below) over hobby horse B, I wonder? It must be difficult for parents to convince their children of the superiority of the Creative Playthings school of toy design. Good thing that Might Makes Right. | |||||
| Early Knoll Webbed Chair | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Hipster001 | General discussion | |
| Hello, I recently found one of these chairs at a yardsale and purchased it for the reasonalble price of $5!!! As the story goes, these chairs were originally designed during the war so springs and hardware were difficult to incorporate. Early Knoll designers used surplus parachute webbing that had failed government standards. The webbing is not original on my piece and I'm curious if anyone knows of a resource for the original webbing? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Keep It Modern! | |||||

| ... and crushed red card layed flat and shellaced, the other is paper layed over dry twigs (could be leaves, whatever) perhaps they could be sprayed chalky white for a plaster relief sort of look? I also tried it with very thin polished aluminium (roof flashing), have access to a steel roll press and that looked quite good but no photos of that. Would really like to try it with heated super plastic aluminium but my press isn't hot and that alloy is unavailable here. Wall panels, brass, ceiling tiles, cabinet doors, folding screen? Brass crocodile skin was the ... | |||||
| Cado wall unit key | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | rockland | General discussion | |
| ... two of the drop-down cabinets do not have keys. I've tried all my similar keys. I've been on 'ehow' and tried all the lock-pickin' fuckin' tricks... It is a full mortice installed lock so taking off the back panel and removing it would be difficult. I need a pic of one of the keys so i know what i am missing. I also wonder how many different keys such a lock would have. My unit was in a law office so they may be keyed-alike. (one unit had a tiny built-in fridge. Who knew they offered a fridge option) And three different strip lighting styles. And some wires ... | |||||
| "Design is no longer the creation... | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| "Design is no longer the creation and development of new models. Instead, it has become a notable competitive factor. At present it is difficult to find any significant innovations with reference to old concepts. Design today must take note of the environmental issues - the requirements of sustainable design and changing needs of people and a population that is ageing. Pure materials, ecological and service design solutions will stay important issues in the future", tells Hannu Kähönen. Koen took us over similar territory recently. But Koen was writing about ... | |||||

| Are there any out there? After a few weeks of scouring the internet I've only found 1 - NJModern.com Can anyone vouch for the quality of this company?

| I have a couple of these steel chairs for years now. I use them as 'outdoor- dining- chairs' on my porch and would like to add some more. These have been mass produced for some time, so it should not be difficult to find them......if only I had their name/ designer/ manufacturer..... Any hints? Thank you Forum! | |||||

| ... finally finished with top and bottom layer of hardboard, final outer layer of cardboard and held tightly with shrinkwrap. Well the client had been stung before by couriers, like me, so he decided to take pictures of the parcel his wife signed for and he unpacked later that evening. The pictures soon revealed that the shipment had been damaged as one corner of the leg structure was splintered into several pieces and rendering the unit unusable. He informed me and I started a claim against parcel2go and fedex. This took weeks to go nowhere and has ended with. ... | |||||
| Help identifying this strange and beautiful chair | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Starter | General discussion | |
| ... got it for roughly $125, basically nothing. The leather is supple and of very high quality, and based on some (very) slight speckling of the chrome, I would imagine it was reupholstered at some point. The wood bars are solid pieces of what appears to be some sort of tropical cherry-like hardwood. The tan portion visible beneath the seat cushion is canvas. Everything is in such good shape that hazarding a guess as to the age is difficult... but I would assume 60's or 70's. The chair and cushions are devoid of any labels, stickers, engravings, etc. which coul ... | |||||
| An elegant design for an ugly vice-- Jacobsen ashtray | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| Until a couple of months ago I was an ex-smoker (for about ten years, though I'd occasionally bum one socially). Stupidly started again, while working on a maddeningly-difficult project, but never-mind my pathetic rationale... After weeks of using my windowsill as an ashtray, I remembered that I'd acquired an Arne Jacobsen Stelton stainless steel ashtray a few years ago, so I dug it out, in the spirit of Production-for-Use (for all you "His Girl Friday" fans-). What a delightful, elegant design! With a flick of the thumb, the top receptacle pivots effortlessly, dumping its contents out of sight to the canister below. Two simple pieces that function flawlessly. A joy. Perfect. Arne Jacobsen, what a stud. | |||||
| More interesting skinny at DWR | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| ... daybed that DWR got commissioned from Herman Miller as (as she called it) an exclusive for DWR. She also said that Modernica was so angered by this that they are no longer selling the bubble lamps to DWR as of this week!! She also mentioned what I have thought for awhile; Modernica is a difficult company to deal with, anyhow. The NY design world was surprised when Modernica closed their Soho retail store and pulled out of New York in 2007. Vitra: The gal at Vitra was quite nice too, and we talked about the fact that the wonderful George Nelson exhibition c ... | |||||
