	Contact Visa	1 Relevance	18 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	Contact Visa Three (+) months is inexcusable. Why's the seller sending you bits & pieces (not to mention chairs and birds)? Sounds like something happened to the desk top, and he's sending you dribs & drabs to keep you hanging on until it's TOO LATE for you to get a refund. I see no reason why this desk would pose shipping difficulty.

	Pt. 2 Variations, you see, like the prosaic metaphor of shit, happen...in physics and chemistry without super natural help--without a designer, unless you wish to think of the entirety of context, i.e., the universe, as the designer. Things organize, fit and disorganize in all contexts we know of, at all scales that we know of. And complexity emerges out of simplicity at all scales that we know of. And time, if it has any direction at all, moves only one way. One cannot go backward in time. And so what we see, or can otherwise measure empirically, is an inev ...
	Implicit	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... group (of consumers) at large. What we so desperately had to have six months, or four years, ago, may be less "valuable" to us today -- for a variety of reasons. And, some of our possessions become dearer to us, over time, perhaps because we come to realize what a good choice (for us) that purchase was -- or, because the "market value" has risen ? And this in turn raises another interesting question: is an object more valuable to us because we got it at a good price (i.e., really cheap, or even free) -- or is it more valuable because we had to spend eve ...
	Angling a shelf is an extravagant way	1 Relevance	18 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	... on the designer's whimsical choice of angle. You seem to imply that this design is 'all about options' and some of us just can't wrap our uptight minds around this groovy concept. I would submit that a simple horizontal/ vertical shelving design with modular shelves demonstrates greater versatility and farsighted grooviness than this inflexible thing. As for the chair and ottoman(?)-- your defense only restates my objection to them. 'Clever' is for editorial spreads and museums, not for actual use. (Nevermind the fact that the chair promises to be uncomfort ...

	Lloyd, you're back? There's some clocks here for your comment..... Oh yea, I got the yellow asterik today and I'm going to have a bit of difficulty finding the exact same mustard color to touch up the yellow. I don't want to repaint it....just touch it up. The motor DOES need replacing...but that's easy!

	. these people just get the subtelties wrong, any suggestion of a sumptuos sitting expereince is destroyed in that Le Corb confection. It looks as though its been stuffed with bricks. The Egg sofa though I don't find so bad, not great but not bad. I suspect it wasn't pursued becuase of difficulty upholstering the thing, thats a big surface area to hand glue the fabric onto the foam (an upholstery method I've allways thought little of) and people sitting on one side or the other might put the fabric under uneven strain.
	I wouldn't touch any of the knockoffs	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	I wouldn't touch any of the knockoffs I've heard over the years about the difficulty of the Egg Chair's upholstery to adhere properly to the back of the structure, so I wouldn't want an Egg Chair that I wasn't sure was made by Fritz Hansen, complete with the tilt. I never had the chair, but i did have the ottoman stool, which I sold on eBay for nearly $1000.00. Seems a lot of people have the vintage chair but not the stool.

	Great Idea, but... Don't mean to be the Grim Reaper Great Idea but... given the varying sizes of sculptures it would severly limit the number that might be buried there. Not to be cold-hearted but cemeteries are really terrible wastes of prime real estate, to say nothing of the difficulty in cutting the grass around intricate based sculpture, multiplied by hundreds or thousands, it's why Forest Lawn in LA has flat plaques on the ground so they can take a 120 inch or more gang mower across an entire field of the departed, cutting 10 feet or more in a single p ...

	... This being the case, if you agree that is is a temporary seat, the difficulty of getting up is a problem. There are a couple of factors that make that chair hard to get out of. There's the obvious - it's really low to the ground. But there is also the angle of the seat, which angles acutely to the back. Then there is the material - the unupholstered wood creates a slick surface. Therefore when you sit you instantly slide back into the sharp angle, low to the ground. This could possibly be overlooked if there were arms to help you get up. I had one for less ...

	Whitespike... I think the... Whitespike... I think the homes, individually, are quite nice. Each having a variation of a consistent theme. The difficulty for me resides in the clumping of so many like homes, hence my institutional label (think college dormitories, corporate or Gov. housing). On the basis of community diversity and green qualities of this development, it should be built. It should pave the way to even more advancements in green housing. I could retract this view once the subdivision is built and given a chance to shine in reality. I live ...

	... for contributing to the what's it worth? threads. I think this emerges for several reasons: 1. the internet by it's very nature feeds the need for instant information. It's there and easy, finding books is not and also expensive. Relatedly, if you are looking at purchasing a piece from the internet, time is often of the essence. 2. in the MCM craze, many people are overvaluing ordinary pieces. I want to know if I am getting a fair price, preferably a "deal" and not getting ripped off. I want most of whatever I collect to have both aesthetic value and re ...
	It's just pure beauty	1 Relevance	18 years ago	koen	General discussion
	It's just pure beauty ...and a joy to watch. Of course most of the equipment did not exist when Wegner designed the chairs. The reason why he did not have a problem to convince the manufacturers to make them was that most of these projects were in fact show-off pieces for the cabinetmakers. Every year they would surprise Denmark and later Europe and the world with furniture that was both beautyful and had a degree of difficulty that would demonstarte the unique skills of the makers. Amoung craftsmen it was clearly seen as a competition ofbeauty and skill and ...

	... pegs lower down? no problem I will try that and moving the centre up too. I designed it in two parts for good reason, 25cm x 170 cm of coat rack fits with difficulty into small cars. As it is now 2 branches are cut out of one really quite narrow length of board, (tiny amount of waste) and it can pack into a box 85cm x 18 cm x 12 cm . I did not execute it with curves, laminations or steam bends because any glue good enough is toxic in that quantity, laminations waste more material than this ever would and the timber will not steam bend predictably. I am now ...

If you post a sketch of what sort of curve you want I could give you an idea of difficulty and cost, check vacupress.com for more info, it is the process I use.
