	I suspect	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I suspect that many such choices are made more difficult because one hasn't decided if the object is to be a "background" or a "foreground" element. You know -- figure or ground ?
	All three of the books...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	jesgord	General discussion
	... is one more book- very difficult to come by (part of a multi volume set)-called "World's Contemporary Houses" Volume 6 is on Japan. Some inspirational interiors. I found some of them on the web. Link attached and posted a couple (by no means the best the book has to offer) http://www.flickr.com/photos/grainspace/1973363260
	shiny or not	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	shiny or not thats the issue. The brand new ones are high polished aluminum. that will fade and tarnish over time to a soft lead grey (which i like) the vintage ones are already tarnished and very difficult to repolish.
	Heath,	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Heath, I can't see the Shard yet, so it can't be very far off the ground, It's almost next to London Bridge station which I pass through later today, so I'll see if there's any sign of it. Likewise DC, I'll try and grab more images of the construction, I don't think all the outer skins are finished yet- so I can probably give you a better idea of the construction methods. It was a bit difficult to see what was temporary and what was to be permanent in the way of scaffolding and the steel structure.
	Let's take it one step further...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... of us know his freely foamed poly-urethane (chocolate) chair but he also did a prototype that was not as low as the shown PK. Apart from the top corners who were less rounded than Verner Panton's it is closer to Verner's chair. Many years ago, sitting with Verner in a restaurant/bar in Frankfurt in the company of another Danish designer, I asked him about the two earlier models and apart from being evasive about it, and saying that he could show sketches as far back as the mid fifties, but he acknowledged having seen both the Aagard Anderson and the Poul Kj ...
	Saying something	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... the Bauhaus were two separate entities. In/at/for which of these entities were Hoffman's furniture pieces designed ? It is difficult to reorganize our personal mental file drawers once we have set them up in a certain order. But perpetuating a filing error does no one a favor. . .it seems to me.

	I am not able to examine the... I am not able to examine the chairs personally, and do not know much about the 670 from firsthand experience to begin with. I wonder if the cushions generally have any excess leather on the underside that could be trimmed off for covering new buttons? I do not know how hard of a time she would have matching the color otherwise (or perhaps a good upholsterer would not find it difficult?). I agree that they look wrong without them.
	Who's Sandra Lee?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Who's Sandra Lee? is she Sarah Lee's grand daughter? or perhaps Pinky Lee? (Jeez, it's getting difficult to get a compliment here, these days)
	I have recently been...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	I have recently been... I have recently been watching this show, and I think they've done a wonderful job of making it period - without seeming like a caricature of the era.... everything is high end in the offices but not everything is obnoxiously iconic.... people back then had no idea which designs would become icons... so this is a good representation... Are these the same chairs? Too bad they are coral colored. I imagine they aren't too difficult to reupholster... http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Peter-Hvidt-Danish-Mid-century-Modern-Teak-Arm-Cha...
	Mine is brushed alum.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	rockland	General discussion
	Mine is brushed alum. I think it is dated 2002? It still looks fresh. I do like the soft patina over the chrome. Though nice that the choice is offered. I would think, if i had to decide today, a much more difficult decision would be the seat style...mesh, fabric, or leather? The mesh is a very modern look, but looks a bit tired after 8 years. Leather should go the distance? I have also had adjustment trouble. My desktop and lap-tops sit on stands a bit high. My old steelcase zips up and down easily. This one does not go as high. Or as easily. I've got it fu ...
	It's just a matter of time,...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	cwoo	General discussion
	It's just a matter of time,... It's just a matter of time, there are so many FLOS copies out there unfortunately and I don't imagine Spun is particularly difficult to replicate.
	Meh.	1 Relevance	17 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Meh. As with nearly everything else that's ever come out of the Media Lab, it's just a cute demo. The student who developed it deserves a good grade, but it has at least half a dozen fundamental, difficult-to-solve problems that prevent it from becoming a real product.
	Do the shelves	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Do the shelves have holes right though, or are some of them just part way? Some PS System shelves have triangular brackets a bit like the Cado ones, but are veneered, not solid, and have a dowel upright that the shelf slots onto. The brackets fix with a metal plate with 3 pins, 1 of which goes into the upright and 2 into the bracket It's a bit difficult to explain, i'll try and draw one- but if the shelves need those it's going to be a much more tricky job altogether.
	Perhaps you could haggle the price down some,	1 Relevance	17 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	Perhaps you could haggle the price down some, since the seller's missing vital hardware. It could prove a simple thing to recreate... or it could be difficult and costly. Paying even less would buffer the pain if it proves difficult, and let's face it-- there probably aren't a lot of potential buyers vying for the privilege.
	I agree	1 Relevance	17 years ago	McGarrett	General discussion
	I agree but, I'm not sure how difficult it will be to get the hardware I need. If I have them made I might be in for considerable more cost. Still, I'm leaning toward going for it. When it's hanging it will all be worth it.
