	... costs were really alarming, and the European situation where so much gas use is dependant on the Russian pipeline makes my toes curl. I'm single and live alone. I face most ethical questions with the 'can/should' idea. I could make furniture with polyurethane foam, high gloss finishes and lots of laminated wood but what gives me the right to dump the excess and empty glue pots and rollers full of solvent into my communities landfill and inevitably the water catchment? The major resources I do use are electricity (I pay a small premium to the utility which i ...

	One other note In playing around with the clock I noticed that the eyelashes are individually threaded through the metal frame. Someone earlier had mentioned that the vintage clocks had the longer part of the lash pointing out - doesn't seem like a difficult task to unscrew and flip them around.
	A warm hearth	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Sound & Design	General discussion
	A warm hearth Everyone has a great point. What I find difficult to settle on, is the mismatch of art and architecture. The modernist art clashes with the traditional fireplace mantle. Personally, I would find something that merges with pre existing without excluding your modernist taste. Ideally on big ole slab of art instead of two...more harmonious balance. I think you'll find the placement much easier to resolve. One hour to the New Year...best to all!

	Don't get me wrong I love the... Don't get me wrong I love the idea of recycling, but I think it applies best to basic things like glass and paper, re-using industrial waste is difficult, what if the primary product isn't manufactured anymore? Or its altered so that your componenet is no longer available? Supply chain snapped! How do you guarantee continuity?
	To get back to the topic	1 Relevance	19 years ago	koen	General discussion
	To get back to the topic Olive:....I've tried several times to get a good thread going on sustainability, renewable energy and eco-conscious design....by and large most of you sit these threads out.... For once I disagree with Olive. Although I hardly participate in the search for shock mounts and in spite of being incapable of making literature out of a drift store visit, ( I can't make literature of anything) I always thought that the neo-modernist part of DA was an invironmental mouvement. I am not writing this down pushing my tongue in my left sheek. To ...

	... of furniture I pay to get it delivered or sometimes if I feel like the workout I'll carry a chair home, cheaper than a gym! The only thing I really get concerned about is that sometimes I find it hard to avoid using glues and finishes that are a bit toxic. The economics of buying the right stuff is tricky too, for a a current project I have struggled to get my hands on plantation grown timber, at the end of the day it is much much cheaper for me to buy hardwood timber from a large corporation that is harvested 2000 km away in difficult circumstances than t ...
	The Time Life chair is not be all time favorite,	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	... who got one in 1962 was considered pretty dang spiffy. There's no question that all of our opinions are subjective; after all, art is suppose to be subjective. But any piece of furniture must follow the form vs function theory...to be a good piece, it must be appropriate for it's planned function. In actual fact, MOST of the modern furniture made between 1930's and the 1970's followed that rule, regardless of your personal taste. Remember, furniture is different from wall hangings, rugs, and sculpture; all they have to do is look good to the person buying i ...
	Geo H.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Geo H. This is not a difficult chair to get reupholstered. The foam can be replaced and it can be recovered in any number of Maharam-type fabrics. Depending on where you're located, i suggest you call on the best Mid-Century Modern store and ask them who they use. I learned of the best reupolsterer here in Minneapolis from a MCM furniture shop. That's the way to go. Sometimes it can be difficult to remove the old frozen foam from the shell, but it can be done. Best of luck.
	What does	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	What does anybody think about my wooden substitution for the difficult-to-adhere rubber shock mounts ? Nothing glues like wood to wood. Paint it black and who's to know ? Huh ? Huh ?
	Wow...what a shame	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Wow...what a shame I would've eaten my heart out, but I wouldn't have bought the chair. Repairing those holes would be about the most difficult thing to do, since visually that's what you see when you look at it. As bad of a 'repair' as i've ever seen. Good luck trying to cover those holes.

	. Don't blame the buildings too much, everything in context...inhabit those buildings with the employed and people with money and most of the problems won't exist. There are thousands of shoddily built apartment blocks and they aren't all slums. Apartment blocks are difficult, I would happily live in one but the sound proofing is never good enough and the corridor design is usually miserable. I would love to live in a housing co op for the design conscious, there could be furniture swapping parties, a gallery, a bar....

	Grant and Mary Featherston. ... Grant and Mary Featherston. the couple are great and i am sorry i did not know about them very much like Hans Wagner. I have not seen his work here in America I should have checked by Design encyclopedia but at 3 in the morning i could barely type I have the egg chair and they sell for around 2500 used on ebay and 1500 to redo, so that is 4 grand for a nice redone with ottoman but to buy one new from Fritz hansen in Kvadrat fabric you are ...
	As a seller and a buyer	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	... time dealer or buyer, but I've done enough to know that as long as you're courteous and honest it isnt difficult to get good feedback. That being said, I've also had an instance of a seller trying to cover his own ass by threatening me with bad feedback - something that was wholly undeserved - if I complained about his crappy product. Luckily I'd had enough experience with Ebay to know that a) thats against the rules and b) where and how to report him.

	I promised myself not to let this thread... fall off the first page...and than it did! My reason to keep it up there are the last three contributions. I think they raise some important questions about the relationship between designers and the technology they use or anticipate to use in the production of their products. My position ver the years has changed back and forward over a whole spectrum of possibilities, and I still do not know exactly where the pendulum should stop. Although I often realized that part of my own practice was based upon an in depth k ...

	... allow on the bottom and to bend it up the curve between bottom and side. Most people do not realize that a recessed heat diffusing bottom reduces the heat diffusion considerably. You might call it a lack of modesty, but I still consider the cookware I contributed to (the production technical talent came from the people at the factory) Demeyere's "Atlantis" an "Sirocco" line as the very best cookware produced now. I have some regrets about the fact that the handles, side handles and knobs of the Sirocco are not more consistant in style, but the goal, to prov ...
