	Lucky you!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Lucky you! I have one of these---got it for $15 at auction and walked away rather stunned. The seat on mine was badly stained so I redid it---five times. Turns out that style of seat is very, very difficult to weave well and mine is still not as good as I'd like but I've given up for now. Mine is also lacquered beech but is in pretty good shape, no cracks or splits, just a little wear to the finish. I know you can get spray lacquer. Lacquer is tricky because it dries so quickly, so spray is the way to go, I think. Has the wood darkened from wear where t ...

	My heart goes out to you,... My heart goes out to you, its incredibly difficult sometimes. I am having some success but only after a long time and a lot of struggle, I would advise you to carry on and stay true to yourself and your ideas, you're in the fortunate position of being able, potentially at least, to love your job. A rare thing these days. There are cheaper materials and under-utilised techniques that can be exploited to make profit without compromising quality. My skills aren't a quarter of what I would like them to be, but when I meet someone who ...
	RE: Madsen and Schubell	1 Relevance	5 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	... answer difficult. By then, Arnold's son Ib had taken over the company and he tried to go different ways. He hired other designers and released quite a range of furniture, most of it to lesser success. The company enventually went bankrupt in the 80s. A couple years later, Ib Madsen started a new company under the same name, reproduced some of the older models and ran it until his retirement in 2005, I think. The swivel/tilt designs were his focus then, but the output of this later period hasn't been documented very well. All in all I'd say it's highly likel ...

	Very Interesting article and... Very Interesting article and discussion. Thanks M.Andersen. Almost a year ago I read another related article, since then I wanted to post it, and here is a good chance to do it. This older article would be useful as an introduction, and explain somethings. I find the first one posted by M.Andersen very clear WHY is American design where it is, and what to do, that's what I think Koen also did, suggest some routes. By the way, as ALICE RAWSTHORN, the author of the article, said, as non Americans, it's a bit difficult to say som ...

	I won't comment on the... I won't comment on the design or technology, the good and the bad of it is obvious but I am very enthusiastic about what seems to be a trend for designers and manufacturers to publicly show the how of things, designers speaking on the why of things is the next and more difficult proposition. I applaud it, time for Artek to step up to the plate!
	...and those tops are easier for Herman Miller	1 Relevance	17 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	...and those tops are easier for Herman Miller to produce. No pulling out any nasty, dusty, difficult furniture plans from their archives. They don't have to reset anything but a lathe. Probably next year's 'select' feature will be a flying duck lamp...not the Nelson Flying Duck design, but more likely a weathered farmer's weather vane design.
	such a shame!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	rockland	General discussion
	such a shame! And great chairs. Especially Spanky's photo reference. The fixed lounge is lovely. Exterior furniture is always up against the elements. A shame it is a difficult home project... Though i do see it as a a challenge for a good upholsterer, Not impossible. I would think finding a mesh as suggested is better than giving up?
	Another related topic	1 Relevance	17 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Another related topic is how these companies are to deal with. Whenever I have called Herman Miller with a suggestion or request, they have been very friendly and knowledgable. I have a friend who does upholstery and he agrees that Herman Miller are fine but Knoll are difficult, cold and not particularly helpful. At the retail level, Hive and late, lemented Retromodern were both swell to deal with. (I bought my square Eames table from Hive and my yellow Bertola seat pads from Retromodern.) Vitra and Artek don't bother replying to emails, by the way. Neither ...

	... and writing and has left some of the best publications on the ?nature of design? and the ?nature of craftsmanship?. It is not impossible to exercise a craft or to understand design without having read them, but it is certainly much more difficult and less rewarding. He started teaching at the Royal College of Art in London in 1949, maybe a year earlier. He was later followed by two other giants: Misha Black and later the unforgettable Bruce Archer in the newly created Design Research unit. It made the RCA to one of the most exciting places for design at the ...
	making new ones	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... exact same mesh fabric but there are certainly similar products out there. You would need an industrial sewing machine to do the stitching. I have the most powerful home sewing machine made (a Bernina) and it won't do that kind of heavy thread through vinyl. I would look into having them made by an upholsterer. Barry said that his upholsterer said that worn slings couldn't be repaired, which is a different thing altogether. Unless I'm missing something, making new ones should be a fairly simple job. Finding the exact same mesh might be difficult to impo ...
	Dear friend of design	1 Relevance	17 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Dear friend of design It is awfully difficult to argue with someone who signs of as ?friend of design? and closes his/her argument with an appeal to protect the rights of creative people. I think we all acknowledge that a fair remuneration for innovative and creative work, allows it to generate an income for whoever wants to dedicate his or her working hours to that kind of work. Although research shows that most people in that line of work are not motivated by financial gain, not protecting some level of intellectual property would reduce that creative and ...

	... out. sometimes they are very hard to get out. Contact your local FH dealer and order new protective feet which push into the bottom of the leg but which cup ½inch up the bottom of the leg. these are slightly dome shaped and may cure the problem. If you have the perfect domed feet already and still the problem you could try soft rubber caps used on walking sticks. Might be a bit difficult getting the right size though.

	prachtig	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Erik.H	General discussion
	prachtig Is inderdaad een fantastisch huis! Indeed a great house and not very expensive. But I think that's because it is not near a major city. And although we might like it, the people with that kind of money do not always have our taste. SO I think it is difficult to sell. I do not know the owner. I just found it on the internet because I am looking to buy a house. And sometimes i type 'architect' (and no budget) in the searchengine of the real estate website. Sometimes I stumble on a small pearl like this one just to dream ...

	it looks like registerd desig... it looks like registerd design at top then maybe G P N the stamp mark is shaken slightly so difficult to see, looks like the paint underneath the white is original and is a putty or buff colour and the top cover is maybe added as looks like is black laminate underneath, certainly unusual looking have you ever come across anything like it ??
