	The cylinda line	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	The cylinda line is still in production, so you can buy teapot at a local shop. If it is difficult to find one that has the line, contact Stelton A/S http://www.stelton.com
	Dear lloyd	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	Dear lloyd Can I repeat Stephen's (SDR) question without being rude? I suspect that a number of us are not familiar with British acromyms...I assume that GCSE is one of those...and that it makes it difficult to answer your question. So, can you give us a few examples? A number of us have experience in design education or are educators and I am sure they would like to help.
	Dear Alix & Patrick	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... It was never my intention to encourage people to use designaddict in this additional function, but given the reaction of Classic Domain/ Sterling International it is difficult not to look for a way to make the truth prevail. By the way, we should all be grateful for your hospitality.

	My list woule either be endless .... or very short. The building that brought tears to my eyes is FLW's Fallingwater (and not because it seems to be so difficult to keep it in good shape) The one that impressed me most is Maison (palais) Stocklet in Brussels of Jozef Hoffmann with those incredible Klimt mosaics in the dining room. The one I would love to see is the J.M.Tjibaou cultural centre in Nouméa by Renzo Piano. To me the must under-recognized building (admired by no other than FLW) is Aldo Van Eyck's Burgerweeshuis, close to the olympic stadium in Ams ...
	A pleasure,	1 Relevance	21 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	A pleasure, I'm sure. I've forgotten which continent you occupy. (There's something wrong with that sentence. . .) I'm a big Lautner fan, and there's another (at LottaLiving) who, unlike me, is able to post images. See below --and while at the site, check out the "SEARCH" function for other other threads containing Lautner material - or any other architect, for that matter. The site is a blaze of (SoCal/tropical?) color, and has bells and whistles galore (hard to believe it is another phpBB site like this one!) -- but among the palms and daiquiris can be found at least some serious architectural pursuit, including oodles of images of houses and other buildings, both old and new, LA and "other." Yes, it would be wonderful to have the Laurelwood Apts, furnished as you say, and to have one's friends there, too. Schindler was uniquely qualified to fit living spaces of joy and imagination into almost any physical space, regardless of restrictions. Esther McCoy, a drafter who worked for him, has described how he and other imaginative LA architects, both before and after WW II, were able to use unconventional structure to build on inexpensive "difficult" sites (steep slopes, typically). And Lautner, another ex-Wrightian, pulled off a spectacular example of that with the Malin house. Find the Schaffer house photos in the thread linked below - the author of the thread is an ex-LA resident living in Florida, an architect with an apparent passion for Lautner. The Schaffer house is a "California ranch" filtered through Lautner's imagination; some views of it make it appear to be a collection of boards and bricks caught in a serious windstorm. Lautner seemed unafraid to create the most astounding gaps between materials, and to fill those gaps with glass. The Schaffer house is a prime example of that. It has survived intact, and was recently sold to a new owner. Lucky he or she! SDR http://www.lottaliving.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3932&highlight=lautner

	... provided by a common believe could make this kind of "material minimalism" a satisfying and sometimes happy arrangement. As in Adolf Loos' "ornament and crime" I did see on the opposite side of that serenity some connection between the need for surplus, for ornament, for aesthetical disorder and a deep sense of un-security. In all these years no research in the needs for ornament, and no observation have ever contradicted that early link between simplicity and sense of safety. If I had known anything about the shakers at that time it would have confirmed t ...
	lachaise	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	lachaise to sdr; eames lachaise reminds you a bit of moore's sculpture; in fact it was based on a sculpture 'floating figure' by gaston lachaise. And so you known the origin of the name as well. Imust say that i also want to buy this chair but 5 years ago vitras price was 3500?, 2 years ago; 5000? en now 5800?. Obvious this price has nothing to do with intellectual property or difficult production proces but its just a price to keep this chair for a trendy and upscale public. let me known if you were able to copy it.

	Dear Barry	1 Relevance	21 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... when it would have been so much more productive to do it within a "rational" approach. I am not fighting emotions, but we all know from history how easily they can be manipulated. As someone who was born during one of these devastating effects of emotional manipulation (WW2) I am still fearfull of the unwillingness to rationalize emotional needs. We all know how important emotions are, we should also know how difficult it is to control them. Our emotional links with products and man made environments are based is fenomena that can be looked at rationally: t ...
	Long Winded Rant ...[FIN]	1 Relevance	21 years ago	crankyd	General discussion
	... knockoffs to a certain second-tier status/quality? If they make something that the public desires too difficult for the average person to get; someone else will come up with a way to get it (or a reasonable facsimile thereof), for you. Kind of like recreational drugs and the Cartels. It will become part of an illegal and ugly (read; unlicensed) network. Who's knows what you're smoking (or sitting on)? As far as I'm concerned, the old "free" Napster should have landed it's creator in prison. Maybe he could listen to the radio for new music instead...just lik ...

	rather easy... Both Poul Kjaerholm and Jorgen Kastholm were involved in teaching and their production as designers is not that big. Especially in the case of P.K. it is of course exceptional in quality. Preben fabricius did quite a number of chairs together with Kastholm, so all in all it should not be difficult to identify. If you want to send pictures you can reach me at koen@hippodesign.ca
	Az keeps	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Az keeps stressing the NAMES. I really understand the desire to honor those names, and to return to the source for any and all questions of authenticity, but. . .I think we're all doing that, aren't we? (I refer readers to Olive's comment about knockoff vs reproduction, on another thread this morning.) Az, I really don't want to use the s-word (snob) -- because I just can't believe it suits you -- but it's getting difficult to avoid it. Can you take a deep breath, and explain once and for all (?) your position? Sorry; I'm trying to understand. SDR
