	I am still interested	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I am still interested in knowing what material those model shells are made of -- though I suppose that can be difficult to determine. Some kind of resin, no doubt ? Are they painted, or is the color integral ? Perhaps a hot-pin test can be performed. Are the metal chair bases at the same scale ? Are these intended to go together into a complete chair model ? It should be possible to determine the scale of the model, by comparing to known dimensions of the full-size chair.
	Personally..	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	... don't know if Patrick & Alix take potentially unkind sounding comments aimed at newcomers personally, I should imagine they have a sense of some sort of community like the regular posters do? I've always thought a good way forward is a contribution to the site for a poitive ID, especially when it's for commercial purposes, but it's a difficult thing to police.

	... take a special kind of guy to wear red Gucci loafers. I know I qualify and you may also be one. I like the entire outfit on you (I prefer Armani). Have you ever heard of Gold and Wood eyewear? See the link for an update in style. On the thread, the panels pictured are best in your home (they suck). On my last visit to my friends at Knoll Chicago they told me that a bank in Miami was being demolished with panels designed by Florence Knoll being scrapped. This is more to my speed - "high end" originals. The difficult task is finding the special objects ...

	... difficult. Noise, I hate it. I'm visiting family right now and they hav a microwave which has an insistent "ping" bloody things. Energy efficiency, size and bench space is precious fo me and would pefer something taller rather than squat. Manufacturing company reputation and location (okay not relevant now but...) I almost certainly wouldn't buy one made in China or anywhere else with a poor human rights record. Repair-ability, could any weak componenets (theres always something somewhere) be repaired at home or could a part be ordered? General sturdiness a ...
	Excellent reference	1 Relevance	15 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	... art), Artists and others spent more than a hundred years trying to redefine the term. I consider Duchamp to be perhaps the greatest artist of the 20th century because he asked more different and varied and deeply probing questions about the definition and limits of art in his collected works than anyone I can think of. This work is only partly "it is art because I say so.". The rest and overarching message is "Can something be art by changing it's context?". He takes the urinal from the bathroom and displays it in a gallery. He effectively ruined it as a ur ...
	And now to the point..... no really	1 Relevance	15 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	... said that you doubt your success in the market if you do not overlay it with that art sheen. The problems as I see it are three. One, you are selling yourself short by thinking that your work will not stand on it's own without the art designation. There are scads of successful designer/ craftspeople out there. Second, I feel that you do a disservice to both craft and art by muddying the definitional waters for sales. And third you commentary says to me that you have bought into the art school notion that art is better than craft. Nonsense. In the long run, ...

	Are you for real? For the... Are you for real? For the very last time real Aalto stool legs are SOLID wood with visible inserts at the bend. OK? What part of that is difficult for you or preventing you from doing a little further research? Another DA member will have to come over and wipe your arse, as I expect that will be your next request.
	....	1 Relevance	16 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	.... Mmmmm the other day I was pondering the idea that Niceguy actually is Karl Lagerfeld. The London map is equally distorted relative to the real geography, but I never found it difficult to navigate, use the system to visit distinct parts of the city and if you're on foot use a normal street index. But if popular opinion says NO its not gonna work even if it is good.

	Got the insides of padded and... Got the insides padded and upholstered. Turned out pretty good for a first time...no lumps. The cushion fabric is just laid in place to see how it will look. The outsides will be finished next class as well as the front panel. Cushion sewing won't be done by me on my first go. The back cushion is to be sewn to the back, which I'm told is quite a bit more difficult that sewing a normal box cushion.
	Leslie	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... but I've never sold enough of my work to make a living. I pay the bills as a dealer in vintage modern design and decorative art, so I like to think that I know a little something about art and design. Regarding the group of tables you are showing, I'll be honest and say that they do not appeal to me. That is a subjective criticism, it's more about my personal aesthetic preferences. To me they look like a lot of "Art furniture" in that they appear to be trying too hard. While some have handsome lines, a pleasing composition and they all appear to be well cra ...
	It seems to me	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	It seems to me these will be taken as craft objects, unless the maker is adamant that they are something else. There is a healthy appreciation of craft (as distinguished from art, though I'm still pondering the distinction) in the world today. Craftspersons are not taken as designers, apparently, but as artists whose work involves demonstration of skill in a chosen medium of material manipulation -- the more difficult, the better ? The involved and sometimes even over-wrought (?) table-objects here seem designed (sorry) to demonstrate skill in the working ...
	Thanks for the feedback.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Leslie Denham	General discussion
	... in a Fine Art program these pieces are represented as works of art, rather than merely furniture. As such they needed to be removed from the ordinary position in which we are used to interacting with our furniture. The cinder blocks allowed me to arrange the display of the tables is such a way that it forces people out of thier comfort zone. Engaging with an object of commonplace in an uncommon enviroment makes people uncomfortable. The cinder blocks also play on the materiality of the peices and the normal conceptions of concrete. The juxtoposition of the ...
	Eames Lounge Chair	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Lorie70	General discussion
	Eames Lounge Chair So many people responded to this topic! I had to say sometimes it's very difficult to choose from all kinds of manufactures and varied qualities. From a user prospective, I would definitely recommend the Eames Lounge Chair from ---.com because their style is the closest to the original and quality guaranteed. I tried it for once, it was so comfy to sit on and so elegant to have in your living room or office:) If someone likes the eames lounge chair as I do, they should look into ---.
