| So right. | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| So right. Yet the reason for the veneration of the "originals" has to be stated: they were groundbreaking designs, and they still look good and work well. It is probably difficult for many to distinguish between evolutionary developments by worthy designers, and second-, third-, and forth-generation knockoffs by imitators. I'm willing to bet that the Eames team moved on with slight regret, knowing that the only way to survive is with "the next thing" (and having many new things to try) yet knowing too that some of their greatest inventions were already b ... | |||||

What makes it difficult to discuss topics like the reasons behind his quality, the expression of strength and weakness etc. so difficult on this forum is that these are very complex issues and in spite of being able to link to numerous other sites and thus to visual and other documents, nobody has the same backg ... | |||||
| Dear Hudsonhonu | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear Hudsonhonu It seems difficult to reconstruct the intentions of the architect you are mentioning but generally speaking there are a number of reasons to do what he has done. The first one is the one you outlined already, the second is that many archtects feel unconfortable with the lighting fictures that are offered to them on the market. the main reason is that we seem to have a common problem between architects and designers. We seem to have difficulties in covering the "space" between us. It is not unlike some public seating where we obviously have th ... | |||||
| utilitarian vs brilliant | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | James Collins | General discussion | |
| utilitarian vs brilliant For me the element that separates good, utilitatian design from the rare object that is brilliant is a difficult to quantify quality that makes an object, for lack of a better adjective, delightful. If a chair is comfortable, attractive, well priced and durable then I hale it as a excellent, successful design. But if it then delights my eye and makes the act of sitting a playful, exhuberent experience it rises to the level of brilliant. Brilliant design adds some new twist to an otherwise perfectly functional object/role. It arrouses ... | |||||

The initial idea of Ikea was not to move some of the cost to the consumer but to make small packagings. Ikea started as a postorder company. Some of us can still remember the swedish countryside with the Ikea box next to the mailbox.

| Hi whitespike! | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Hi whitespike! I do not know where you live, so it is difficult to guide you in finding a subcontractor to do this. If I look for it in the yellow pages here I would have to look under "cutting", not under woodworking simply because both laser or waterjet cutters do this in all kind of materials. People that do large lettering are often equiped with this kind of CNC machinery. A local design office might want to help you out. Design offices often use all kind of sub-contractors for a variety of prototyping. | |||||

| ... over a wood fire in the mountains. Good design has a psycological or a human usage factor to it, no matter how much new design pushes the envelope of that interface, that will never be far removed. In a time when it seems certain emphasis in design is taking humanity out of the human, kitchens cooking for us and online shopping, etc., with a premium on efficiency over utility, there remains an 'aesthetic hodgepodge' inherent in certain interfaces that, for lack of a better word, equates to joy.

| ... "apple" or "bulldog" shapes with gently curved stems, that were made from some matte-black space-age composite, with what might be a graphite liner in the bowl. Black, refractory stuff. The selling points: no break-in ordeal, no moisture problems. I haven't fired one up for many years, but I remember they delivered on the promise. Heavy, though, and lacking the character of a briar. The trademark was "The Pipe," which is so generic that I fear it'd be difficult to research. , There was a cheaper but equally good knock-off called "The Smoke." | |||||
