	memory foam	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	memory foam Maybe the memory foam would be ok on a chair. A bed is used 8 hours a day, every day. You probably won't sit in your lounge chair that much, and an elderly dog may not spend that much time on rockland's daybed, either. (The dog probably weighs a lot less than a human, too.) I think the next step is to try out samples at the foam place. They should have remnants laying around that you can put in the shell. If not, or if it's too difficult to take the chair shell with you, just put the foam slabs on a hard surface and sit on them.

	Even numbers are unlucky	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Fungus Mungus (USA)	General discussion
	Even numbers are unlucky In Japan, when you give wedding gifts, such as cups, dishes, etc, you always give sets that cannot be divided evenly, as an even number of items is considered bad luck (increasing the possibility that the couple will split up). I have never heard of this rule being extended to dining sets (which generally are not purchased as gifts). I imagine there are plenty of families that do what I did when I lived there...sat at the kotatsu in a vain attempt to keep warm while eating. No chairs, just zabuton (big pillows for sitting on). Sellin ...
	One other thing.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	One other thing. You combine glass and silver but I still see the shape of a martini glass that obviously came before. I think there might be two issues here, "pure originality", emphasis on the pure, which I think is extremely difficult to achieve. And "repurposing" or combining two disparate elements to make something new, which happens all of the time. But at the end of the day, that repurposed piece has at its core, previously designed and recognizable elements. There is however, and this is a very big "maybe", maybe there are completely original "endea ...
	not an i-beam	1 Relevance	18 years ago	kdc (USA)	General discussion
	not an i-beam it's a bit difficult to determine the scale of the extrusion, but it looks to me like a handrail which can accommodate standard-dimension [1.5"] spindles on the bottom open end. aside from that, i've seen many installations of this and similar product over the years, and for the most part i remain unimpressed. however, just a week ago i saw some used in a concrete stairwell, and the results were quite attractive. it took me a while before i realized the medium-grey material was not concrete stamped with a woodgrain relief. in my limited exposur ...

I believe originally they were to produce the Organic Series that Eames/Saarinen designed for the MoMA competition. Ultimate it was too difficult to produce. Other than that, there was very few instances of design stardom in that company ... I think Gilbert Rohde....
	No pictures.	1 Relevance	18 years ago	rockland	General discussion
	No pictures. Seemed odd at first, but with such a small group and the property is so much about 'seeing', i understand the distraction cameras would bring to the experience. It is an old quarry. I recall 75 acres? He gently worked the land creating paths and selectively removing trees, created moss gardens. 4 miles of trails. Some of the stone steps are a comfortable rise and run but just awkward enough to slow you down and force you to look. Not a trail for chatty conversation. The familiar photograph of his studio, his desk at ground level. The windows ope ...

	The makers	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	The makers The makers are just as labelled.. I have no idea on the designers, though they are lovely pieces Maybe Simon can help? Westnofa is a difficult company to attribute designers to. I have a wall mounted bedside cabinet from the same range incidentally (I have been using it as a telephone/ hall stand) Robert
	$$$	1 Relevance	19 years ago	guyinSF	General discussion
	$$$ So does anyone know why PK designs are soooooooo astronomically higher in price than any other designs out there? Like 4 times more than even other high end designs and the designs themselves don't see to have super difficult or tricky construction or outrageous amount of expensive materials used, in fact some are so minimal looking. Are all other designs from the same manufacturer in the same price range or just his designs?

	... be made by a skilled craftsman. However not finding a manufactures mark, I began to think well maybe someone just threw them together in their garage. But soon relized molding plywood in your garage would probably be difficult and I too began to think they may have been a sample or prototype. At $75 buck for the pair I'm satisfied with my purchase, no matter who made them.
	Carlo Mollino	1 Relevance	18 years ago	bustelo	General discussion
	... theory that Provue designs do not blend as well as the more iconic pieces is predicated on fewer photographic images that utilize these lesser known designs. I think familiarity helps to ease the sensation of displacement or discomfort. As a design becomes more exposed it generally becomes more widely appreciated which leads to an accelerated general acceptance. My wife now notices the use of designer furnishings to sell products as diverse as yogurt and pharmaceuticals. She notices the furnishings because we live with many of the pieces, and I suspect that ...

	... in parallel. I tend to spend hours exhausting all the sources I have and know about before asking here. But sometimes, even just posting here gets another clue that eventually leads to the ID. Sometimes I'll see a design that for the life of me, I cannot identify or find another one - and after awhile, I conclude that if it were by an "important" designer, then it wouldn't be so difficult to determine, because there would be documentation somewhere. But I know that this is not always the case, that some designs just are not well documented, maybe because ...

	... law The patent law is limited to original inventions and a design is not considered an invention. The Alphaville lawyers are correct, any possible protection on the Barcelona chair has expired. But there is something called a trade dress claim. It considers a certain way of doing things, say the rivets on a pair of jeans as a typical part of the product, so typical that it becomes part of the trade mark. This is what Knoll has claimed and actually got registered. The registration as such does not mean anything because if challenged, as it is now by Alphavil ...
	Yes, laminations	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... Prepare for slippage due to glue lubricity; find a way to clamp the bundle flat while the primary clamping is being done. Teak is hard on tools only because of the high silica (ie, sand) content of some timbers. It is not otherwise difficult, though the oil content does present adhesive challenges.
