	i know it seems like i am selling all my stuff	1 Relevance	20 years ago	jdot	General discussion
	i know it seems like i am selling all my stuff but the house i just bought is REALLY REALLY TINY!!! edit, edit, edit. very difficult for a packrat and a collector of furniture. I have a ridiculous number of lamps and chairs.
	price	1 Relevance	20 years ago	modernisbetter	General discussion
	price the only problem i can see with the piece in a sale situation is the relative simplicity of the design. by that i mean the ease of obtaining materials for one to do this themselves. in order to alleviate this you would probably need a little more designing to make it more difficult for copycat home diYers to copy . i love simplicity but there is a fine line i suppose.
	Maybe his assistant did design it for him	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Maybe his assistant did design it for him "A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier"..........L.Mies Van Der Rohe (1886-1969)
	Katy womb chair	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	... and made by them . My guess is that this chair is very difficult to recover so to re mold it back when knock offs were becoming fashionable I would say this was not the most popular cause of the degree of difficulty in reproducing it. Now go forward 40 years I am sure the Chinese have started to reproduce the chair but i am sure it is not that popular . We get calls at least once a week with some one wanting to recover the chair and I think i scare them off when i tell the price ...
	Merrow?	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Merrow? I agree with Robert, that the high cabinet does look like a merrow design. The sideboard I am not so sure about. I do not see the similarities between the pieces. The hinges are also different. It is very easy for sellers to add Merrow Associates to any piece of 1970's furniture with chrome. I have seen Howard Miller, Plunkett well documented pieces listed as Merrow (and not just as a search tag). Its very difficult to prove a seller has deliberately mislead. As your seller has attributed a designer to the piece I would definitely be asking how ...
	Are you somehow suggesting that...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... in California...well, I happen to know that bar. It's a nice place, nice people, a little bit noisy, typical London east end. So I call and make him an offer on a marble Euro Sardinnen table on condition that I can have his photograph taken. I am a little bit suspicious by nature so I prepared some tricky questions just to be sure that it was the real Charles. Right of the bat, I ask him about his brother Ray, which I happen to know, is working with him. Apparently Ray is fine so I ask him to take a seat, on one of his own chairs by the way. We are chatting ...
	I am a designer...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... got an answer. So much for a good start. But it has not taken much time before this forum became the most interesting and most active in it's field (no, not the Barcelona chair). Early contributors like Michael Van Kleeff, Heath Pakeman made this forum a real source of information and shared knowledge. I only came on board at nbr. 22, and I do not read all of them so I am not ready to blow any candles yet but I would take this opportunity to salute the two people that keep this site alive. Alix and Patrick. Very knowledgeable collectors themselves they have ...
	Finally ChrisG with an answer...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Finally ChrisG with an answer... Finally ChrisG with an answer on background. White/light or black/dark, depending on your object that needs or wants to stand out. I continue to be amazed with the number of folks on ebay who absolutely bury their sales item with their background. Photography is an art, and difficult at best, but the basics should be almost intuitive.
	wallboard 2000	1 Relevance	20 years ago	James Collins	General discussion
	wallboard 2000 MDF and particle board don't offer a good alternative to drywall. Very heavy, difficult to paint. What I'm hoping for is a completely new composition based on some existing technology. Someone ought to be able to make a standardized product for interior wall sheathing. Some composite material with the following qualities stiff (+- comparable to 1/4 inch plywood) Ilght solid color (no surface coating to get chipped/scratched) cuts with a saw waterproof strong enough to need no molding at doors/windows/etc. Just musing on the retirement house I ...
	I was aware	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	I was aware I was aware of the new Siemens kettle..but actually don't much care for it.. I always thought of the original as the classic, and the definitve, kettle design - I guess when you think you've found the perfect design, it's difficult when they go mess with it ?! Either I'm getting old..... Or I don't want to buy a new kettle AND coffee maker ;o) (the toaster is the runt of the bunch)
	Cherner/Plycraft	1 Relevance	20 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	... to Plycraft in Massachusetts but it was too fragile and too difficult to produce. Herman Miller scrapped production and distribution of the Nelson model. Plycraft thought the chair had potential and called for entries to redesign it. Cherner submitted his now-famous design only to be told it had been rejected. A few months later, however, he saw his chair on a showroom floor. Paul Goldman, the head of Plycraft, told him the chair had been designed by a European designer who had never seen Cherners drawings. Cherner sued, and eventually won, with backd ...

	... some national acclaim. It is currently on the Nebraska historical register (amazing in and of itself as usually that designation is saved here for only those buildings that William Jennings Bryan or Willa Cather slept in). The Behlen family is trying to gift the property to the State of Nebraska - which appears unfortunately to be quite a difficult process. I have not seen it in person, but the photographs I have seen would lead me to believe it is a remarkable building. I imagine if one would look hard enough there are a couple other noteworthy modernist h ...

	And to think psychiatrists get paid for... introducing archetypal imagery like a paperclip into a client's therapy! I perhaps will have to give counselling a go. But I digress (and digressing is difficult to do from the start of a comment, but, look here, lads and lassies, I've done it, so there). Viviennnnnne, It is my "expert" opinion that your visit is going to have far reaching ramifications for both your and Jeffrey's well-being. I predict a flurry of intense creativity and the peeling back of yet another layer of self to reveal an even more fascinating ...

	... off, so it does make it somewhat difficult for the average person to afford mid-century furniture . That is why stores like Alphaville and Furniture fancy were created to come up with fist class reproductions that the average person can afford from China ., and does not want junk made from White on White that breaks upon delivery to your home ( if not shipped broke to begin with ) Know matter how smart and knowledgeable you think you are about mid-century furniture always ask the questions 1) origin of ...

	Thank You.. Very much Alix. I did not mean to be ungrateful or difficult, I simply wanted to undertand what the criteria is for being included in the index. Keep up your great work!
