Do you think she was thinking of Richard Neutra? she did live in a home designed by him, and the book was written in 1943 and that is when he was doing a lot of his great design work in Southern California. and from what I have read about Neutra he was a difficult character at best? but not as difficult as Frank Lloyd Wright, We need SDR to weigh in as he is our resident scholar on FLW. | |||||

| . of course its overpriced, I agree. But don't you want to find out why? And relative to what olass of people, or when this sort of marketing began? I'm really not trying to be difficult, honestly. So compared to a Knoll or HM offering this PK is the most expensive, pegging the three in a heirachy of desirability it would have to go I think ... FH Knoll HM I'm terrible with money but my guess is FH have decided to make half as many sofas and maintain profits by effectively doubling the price, this would free up their skilled workers for other products.

| pt7 The other problem I foresee is that those glass walls will be separated from the frame and do one of two things. Either they will shatter, if they are not strong enough, thus leaving a berm of huge glass shards that are exceedingly difficult to climb over in a panic without goring yourself to death. Or they will fall in tact on to the beveled ground; then tip up, and effectively create a glass lid over the beveled area around the building foot print. I don't know if this would for certain make ingress and egress nearly impossible, but I reckon it might. ... | |||||

I've attempted it, but my concern is the highly toxic products that often just eat the finish and tend to spread it over the worn areas. And over the years, all the crazy polishing products used...liquid gold! a silicone spray. (and a dust magnet) and a dealer trick for antiques just before an auction... To answer the original question, i would guess a spray lacquer? similar to many of the paul ... | |||||

| ... contacts raw wood may then look different (darker, etc) from the areas that retain the original finish. More importantly, the penetration of those soft materials may make subsequent refinishing more difficult, as lacquer and varnish do not want to stick to oil and wax. The proper renewal would be a new coat of the correct hard finish material. Wax or oil will make a fully-coated piece look better, of course, though they are not really necessary. Again, I would be interested to know if others share this view. | |||||

| Dear glassartist...and collegue I appreciate your interest in my opinion on this, but as mentioned I am only half way. I will gladly come back on this and hopefully also hear your findings, but I prefer to have gone all the way to the end. What makes it difficult for me to read are the numerous mistakes and inconsistencies. What makes it difficult for me to read is the propaganda-like language and the exemples chosen in function of a particular argument instead of being the basis for analysis and logical deduction...and analogies are not a bad pedagogical to ... | |||||

| Another question? I finally tracked down an actual manufacturer of the chair and wouldn't have to go through Habitat or wait for one to show up on Ebay. how difficult do you think it would be to buy only one from them? Is it bad form to go right to the manufacturer or no? All I know is, I want the chair but if Habitat isn't carrying it anymore, why not go to the source? http://anugrahsaputro.trustpass.alibaba.com/product/12298299/Egg_Chari.html | |||||

| The pleasing aesthetic... The pleasing aesthetic quality of glass as a means of opening the box is difficult to discount. And as a building material, depending on its application, glass can be put to very good use. There are drawbacks to large expanses of glass though, particularly in residential settings, some which are not so easy to cost estimate. We live in a passive solar designed house as well, with many mature plantings, and enjoy the views immensely, but the reflective properties of glass can make it a bit hard on the birds around here, most of which ... | |||||

At the upholstery business that i own, we have guys who have 29 years experience and they dye every thing from bucket seats to outdoor boating seats, and also vinyl But.... they have years of experience and it is not only difficult to do very messy, the average do it yourself is at a unfair advantage cause of the special leather dying materials that are sold ... | |||||

| I feel your pain. But in the case of the Egg and Swan chairs, there's a couple of issues that seem murky and difficult. First, "The Republic of Fritz Hansen" has and is doing little to stop these fakes. Second, the Hansen pricing is so high that it makes the knocking off seem attractive. (Which brings up the case, anyway; why do these Chinese knockoff companies knock off currently available furniture...instead of copying a classic that's NOT being currently produced???) Putting aside the ethics, I wouldn't buy a knockoff Egg chair, because of the probable ba ... | |||||

Choices like that should be made either on a long experience of working with 3D objects or...just by building prototype after prototype.The brain likes easy to understand shapes and by putting it in the middle you are sending a difficult message: I know it is in the middle, but I see it as not being in the middle.

| Finding a good desktop-type desk | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| Finding a good desktop-type desk was one of the most difficult decisions I had to make when I moved into my "new" house. I couldn't find anything from Herman Miller or Knoll that has a pull-out keyboard tray and room for my CRT. Part of the problem is that neither Knoll or Herman Miller are smart enough to make certain pieces of their office furniture groups available to consumer for their home offices. Heck, I don't even know what pieces might have been available. So, I got a Blu Dot Paperclip desk and a Leda 3-drawer printer stand on wheels, along with a ... | |||||
