	just an idea	1 Relevance	21 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	just an idea if it is temporary and you want a low price i would reccomend looking locally for a tailor or some sort of fabric smith to doctor something up. If you have an eye for sewing, it is not difficult to make something without a pattern, but they would probably need to borrow the original cover. It may not look as nice as the knoll cover, but you get what you pay for. You could also keep the cover on and put a trash bag over it, and replace it as it gets worn down from the children. or you could just put trash bags over your children.
	Patent, copyright, Imprint	1 Relevance	21 years ago	smokey	General discussion
	Patent, copyright, Imprint You choose, most companies of artists have a "logo" or special signature that can not be copied, or that is difficult to reproduce. I think that a patent would be a great legal source to fall back on though.
	what it do	1 Relevance	21 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... difficult to take advantage of the few modern finds that I found and could afford. The extent of my collection is really side chairs (less expensive) and a florence knoll coffee table. My goal is to find a florence knoll settee or couch next! But without a doubt, I feel I am in a really lucky position to have the pieces that I have at 20 years old with very little money (and most of it going to undergrad) to my name. I hope to see more photos of furniture and homes! I also suggest flickr - the layout is easy to use, it's free, and you can add those note ...

	I am not impressed....	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... I am sure that industrial production of homes would in many cases lead to far better results than what we have to look at now. Actually it is difficult to do worse than what we have now. Although I like my Saab, I am not a "car-person" but one has to admit that if you think of it as a stationary small home, the quality of the product is quite exceptional. I am almost sure that most people are not seated as comfortably in their homes as they are in their cars, many certainly lack the ability to control their air and temperature as accurately and many might n ...
	Dear SDR.	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... this contradicts most design theories that support the notion that "things" are either created "by design" or "by accident". Most people that know more about the abilities of our brain than I do, seem to agree that we as human beings are better at taking decisions intuitively than rationally, in fact the design process might well be a intuitive process that is only "guided" by information. Those who have been in any way involved in design educatio, know how difficult itis to make students do proper research into the project, before some kind of concept emer ...

	Go for it!	1 Relevance	21 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... to make, easily. Bending square tubing may be more difficult for one shop than another (for instance); 'ask' him before you 'tell' him? My question: how will you know the design is right (ie, comfortable) first? One suggestion: find a similar chair that is does feel right to you (and the little lady?), then do your darndest to make sure the seat and back heights and angles are precisely the same. Anybody?
	I agree with AZ,	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	I agree with AZ, Vico Magistretti is one of the great ones in our profession, but the chair is poorly designed. Mechanically it does not make sense and comfort is not it's greatest strength either. Designing properly for plastics is difficult at any time designing a comfrotable chair is an art.
	The word	1 Relevance	21 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	The word "varnish" is sometimes used as an all-purpose term for a (more or less) transparent finish. Mechanics even use the word to refer to a kind of build-up on engine parts. It can be difficult for a layman -- or even an expert -- to know what a particular clear finish is composed of. A "very light sanding" in unlikely to succesfully remove all the finish, which is necessary unless (in most cases, even if) the identical material will be used in recoating the piece. That's all I can contribute to this problem, unless more information becomes available.

	considering the number... of answers his seems to be a difficult one. As a matter of fact,several generations of designers have struggled with the same problem: how to define design. I do not know if the reluctancy to define design has anything to do with Marchal McLuhan's remark that to define is to destroy... In my world to design is "..to use creative means and rational methods to link a real or percieved material need with it's solution and to do it within the framework and restrictions of existing technology. The weakness of this definition is that it d ...
	"There was great loyalty	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... Apart from the qualities of the chair itself, which is of course the real reason for it's succces, I think he touched on an interesting subject. It is a fact that few copies have been able to achieve similar strength at the same thickness of the laminated wood, forcing many "followers" to make the seat thicker and thus heavier and less elegant or less durable. But the loyalty of the Danish and scandinavian architects certianly played an important role to. For decades it was difficult to imagine a Danish building without the A.J. chairs. Alvar Aalto could pr ...
	original PK vs Fritz Hansen	1 Relevance	21 years ago	room606	General discussion
	... legs, the finish, and the paint that covered all of the plywood. From what I have seen of the PK furniture from the last year or so it is similar in regression - the curve we discussed is virtually gone, and it's never the same on two chairs. As I mentioned in the previous post, shortcuts that one would presume intolerable. Apparently all the actual production work on the new production PK are sublet to shops based on labor rate rather than expertise. So much of what was difficult to reproduce on the PK pieces has been removed from the design/expectation. ...
	Yes. he did	1 Relevance	21 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Yes. he did this again and again. I don't recall his telling us where he got this idea -- he seldom credited anyone with an influence, though he was specific in the case of floor heating (Korea, by way of Japan). Many houses had entrances not at all easy to find, and the space inside the door might be both dark and "cramped," the better to dramatize the space and light found ahead. In a wonderful book called, I'm afraid, "The Wright Space." Grant Hildebrand applies landscape design theories of "prospect and refuge" to the design of Wright's houses, where h ...

	On draping... Do not expect that you can form a sheet warm enough so it "melts" into a wooden or aluminum mould. By the time you would reach that temperature part of the sheet would burn. The best thing to do is to fill a fabric bag with DRY sand. The weight of it will form hollow parts that are otherwise difficult to reach.
