| . I'm ignorant about the economy too! I keep reading Koens 'restauring' (restoring) as restaturing, an accident perhaps but it does make me think about re-staturing as an idea, dixon tried to do it with those old artek bits in the second life project. I thought it was a bit of a gimmick. SDR, How do we transcend fashion then? I think its difficult but looking at the designs 'classics' (hate that term) I can see a few options. Designing with simple + primary geometry (mies tube semi-circular canitilever chairs) Designing with tradition in mind (Klint et al re ... | |||||

| Thanks for the encouragement and the hint, Heath. (Should I invest in SketchUp Pro ?) I'll always love the feel and look of pencil on paper, but I wouldn't resist on principle the addition of other media. It's just so frustratingly slow and difficult to get anything I want onto the page. . .! | |||||
| Good 'ol Frank Lloyd Wright.... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | barrympls | General discussion | |
| Good 'ol Frank Lloyd Wright.... He was a difficult character. Wonderful, visionary archetect, who made absolute demands on those people he designed the residential homes for. He required that all of the furniture was designed by him alone and most of the pieces were built-in, so the homeowners couldn't screw around FLW's floorplans. Many of his chairs were apparently rigid and rather uncomfortable. He was interested in quality materials, but being an older gent, he (apparently) wasn't impressed with the new materials. So, when I see most of the FLW piece ... | |||||

| How's this This is a photo of a chair I have, from the recent post..."Who designed this chair?" This type of armrest is evident in many Scandinavian styled chairs produced across the globe. I'm interested in the origins/inspiration of how this came to be one of the most recognizable features of Scan. Design. Might be difficult to pinpoint the exact conception...but a general understanding of this would be really nice to know. | |||||

| ... Womb chair,Egg chair, as i guess they can not find anyone in their area that recovers modern furniture, It can be very difficult to do, some of these pieces, as they were all constructed with foam, that was sprayed on and the hardest thing is to remove all that miel. So the smart thing to do is like Barry says always see if there is a great upholstry shop in your home town first for your larger chairs, and contact us if you can not find one. | |||||

| ... I know of course the pictures and I have walked many times under the Calatrava arches in BCE Place Toronto and over the pedestrian crossing in Bilbao. I have crossed the Guadalquivir bridge in Barcelona and de bridge over the Hoofdvaart in Haarlemmermeer is difficult to avoid when you land on Schiphol airport. So my knowledge is limited. I agree with SDR that one of the keys is his knowledge in engineering. Whether we like it or not, he does not fit into the normal historical categories. Architectural history is written by architects and for many decades no ... | |||||

| Barcelona Chairs | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Barcelona Chairs We just had a set of Barcelona chairs in from the sixties that were somewhat difficult to identify as authentic or fake. We ended up sending some photos off to the helpful people at Knoll Europe who ultimately pronounced it a fake. Anyhow a few quick clues that may help sort out an authentication: The most obvious point is the number of straps. MVR specified 8 straps to be attached to the back of the chair. Another point to look at is how the straps are attached to the chair. The straps should be attached directly to the frame, not looped ar ... | |||||

I had a difficult and emotional time removing and altering the original kitchen, despite the inefficiencies of age and inherit in the original design. If only the Flair option had presented itself in a more timely manner. | |||||

| Lloyd: Yea, I saw the clock. He said it's been 'refinished' (i.e. repainted), so I pointed out that the clock was hardly worth $400.00 these days. Also, regarding the clocks I got from AllWorld, the Steering Wheel is my least favorite of the clocks I ordered friom All World. With white walls, the silver hands are difficult to see...they should've been painted black. I don't remember how well the marking on the wheel were originally, but the markings here are just sticky tape. Still, worth the $42.00 | |||||
| visco-elastic (memory) foam... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Entropy-0 | General discussion | |
| ... memory foam when you're on it (that's kind of the idea, that it conforms to your body shape). One advantage is that it returns to its original shape. (It's possible that over the years, the return factor will diminish. Less so, the denser the foam). IKEA uses latex foam over top of "cold foam" (high density polyurethane) in their Beddinge Lovas sofa mattress, IINM. Latex is said to be more 'bouncier' than memory foam, and since it makes a good bed, it should be fine for a sofa cushion. But its a lot more expensive than memory foam. If that's not an issue, ... | |||||

| Posters are a real pain. Good... Posters are a real pain. Good vintage ones cost a lot in the first place, need linen backing (expensive) and cost a fortune to frame properly. Add to that the fact that the images are often quite bold and therefore difficult to display sympathetically and compete (visually) with paintings etc. Out of a collection of about 50 'good' posters I've only got 2 (a pair of late 30s E. McKnight Kauffer's) on display plus a few small ones propped on the fireplace in my office. The rest just stay rolled up from one year to the next. On ... | |||||

| I've decided... that I'm going to buy the multi colored version. Sure, it's $1251.00, but it's far cheaper than either the Lost City Arts knockoff and thousands less than a real vintage Arteluce model. Besides, if I did find a real one, I'd have to get it delivered (could be difficult) and probably rewired. I'm going to reply on Sonneman's reputation for quality and assume it's the real deal. I DO know that it weights 51 lbs, so it's not a flimsy Chinese piece of doggy doo doo. By the way, did you know that the Arteluce lamp was not imported into the US? ... | |||||
