| thanks for the suggestions. ... thanks for the suggestions. right now I am leaning towards making our own (buying legs and having a top cut for us somewhere) -- though that means we won't be expandable (unless we make two tops and swap when needed). I just never thought it would have been this difficult to find a table in our size. We saw some possibilities in an asian-inspired design store, but not exactly what we were looking for. But we are in no rush, so the hunt will continue. Thanks again. | |||||

| I guess that... I will have to come back on this one when I have more time, but one simple functional reason is that both concert halls and musea need a lot of wall space. I am designing right now a small 360 seats auditorium. I find it difficult not to make it look like a closed bunkerlike building. The acoustics require not to use any glass in the space where music will be produced (not even on the two overhanging balconies. So anything that would look light and transparent has to be a "second" skin, on the outside of the "functional" building. In this par ... | |||||

| cont. Although both Van De Velde and Alfred Finch were at one point members of the group of XX (twenty) the details about their relationship is not well documented but there is so much common ground in their teaching that it is difficult to ignore the link. By the time Bertoia, Eames, Sarainnen jr. etc were at Cranbrook, they knew of course about the Bauhaus, but they certainly worked in another tradition. So these are clearly two infuential yet different directions. It deserves more study but it is my impression that even the Bauhaus tradition in the U.S. s ... | |||||
| I have shipped US Postal... | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | donsof | General discussion | |
| I have shipped US Postal... I have shipped US Postal Service worldwide many times. Its a pain in the butt because the post office is not as friendly as fedex. You have to stand in line and hand over the package at the post office. The true shipping is difficult to figure because every country has a different rule. Some countries don't accept a 108 inch girth package, which is the eames shell chair size. Its best to take the package to the post office, get a quote, then get the buyers payment then return to ship it. They offer really weird things, like they t ... | |||||
| Dear Stephen | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Dear Stephen I am not sure you are asking the right person, but let me give you a tste of how difficult your question is. You mentioned for instance the screws. The "official" Knoll licenced chair has black hex screws. Which is a nice choice. It is consistent with the "mechanical approach that was typical for Marcel Breuer's experiments at the time. Is it original? no, simply because the hex screw did not exist in the mid twenties when Breuer was building his B3. This type of screw was invented in 1936 and produced by Bauer & Schaurte Karcher in Neuss, Germa ... | |||||

| I'm not a professional Just well-practiced......... it's difficult to tell what colour the grasscloth wall is.. it looks completely different in the 2 pictures of it?? ..my inclination would be to get rid of it though, and the one colour that strikes me as a good one for all your belongings is Ball Green. I though the mis-matched barcelona chairs look kinda cool..one of the more characterful touches..... | |||||

| The right method... | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| The right method... is to get some clear polyester (epoxy will not do the job nicely) clean the crack with thinner (use mineral based thinner not turpentine)to make sure that the polyester adheres well and to remove any dirt that might be visible. If it is difficult to clean tighten the screw evr so slightly to open up the cracks (watch it because the gelcoat is not very flexible. If a small part brakes off just put it back in the right position. Put in the polyester/catalist mix and rubit in carefully, slowly un tighten the screw and the cracks will close ... | |||||

| A lot of catching up to do | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | finelines | General discussion | |
| A lot of catching up to do It has been difficult to find anything among the writing about designers of the 50 - 60's with regard to Tony Paul. We've collected what we could over the years, the bar trolley, the standing coat rack, the round snack tables (of which there were more in Palm Springs to be bought). I always wondered why Tony Paul was hard to find when McCobb, Probber, Seibel, etc. were everywhere. (with bios to boot). Many years ago on one of the modernist forums I sought out knowledge of Tony Paul and was told he worked in-house for Italian firms ... | |||||
| Hi Don... | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Hi Don... The "visuals" that coem with your expressions of appreciation makes it difficult not to answer every question with at least as much insight as your level of entusiasm. This being said, I think that it is more appropriate to link the insight to a particular exemple, like in this case the Ox-chair...this is one of those pedagogical things I care about...so I hope to have an opportunity to share some other "axes" with you. I would like to sidestep this "Wegner" thread to draw attention to the fact that behind these wonderful products there are skilled ... | |||||

| In general, I can see combinations of masterpieces, but in this case I see two problems, none of which has to do with the analogy of inviting two famous guests to a party... The first one is that it is always difficult to combine two pieces with exactly the same function, that goes for place settings, pendants, trolleys, book shelfs, etc. no matter how good the design, no matter how masterfully crafted. It will always feel strange. Whereas combinations of well designed products with different functions from different designers often do well. The second reaso ... | |||||
| I hope this question | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| I hope this question will attract someone more qualified than myself. When confronted with difficult questions in my professional life I have often asked myself: "how would.....solv this?" The dots stand for the people I consider great exemples from the past: Henri Dreyfuss, Castiglioni, Kjaerholm,etc. or the present, Renzo Piano, David Mellor, Konstantin Grcic. In form analysis it would be my former teacher the Belgian art historian Jacques Watelet. Untill a few weeks ago, I could have asked him, but he passed away at the respectable age of 90. So let me tr ... | |||||
