| ... "educate the masses" has been central to the ideology and has been expressed time and again. Many "design centers" were build with the specific goal to educate people. In other words, they all knew how reluctant the users and consumers would be. As dcwilson points out, the technological innovations have been widely adopted. Steel and concrete frame constructions, curtain walls etc. have invaded the city centers. (ironically it was the curtain wall technology that allows these buildings to be so easily "re-cast" in a post-modern version). In product design, ... | |||||
| It would | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| It would be a stretch to identify any pre-1900 designer with postmodernism, as the Modernism that would lead to that stage, 70 years hence, was barely under way ! Still, there's "nothing new under the sun," and certain parallels might be found, somewhere. . . The difficulty we have in seeing how radical certain accomplishments really were, 100 years ago, is due to the wide dissemination of those accomplishments in subsequent decades. One of Sullivan's most forward-looking buildings, the Carson, Pirie, Scott (originally, Schlesinger and Mayer) store of 1899- ... | |||||
| Pithy question | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Pithy question Yes, bamboo is a grass, but it's weird to say hardgrass flooring. David, getting a dark stain into an old oak floor is going to be hard work. The good news is that the difficulty in getting a dark stain makes for easier restoration to the lighter color later on. The stain is just not going to penetrate much into the wood, oak is hard stuff. I am just wondering here if maybe using paint might be better. If you thin the paint with glaze you should end up with a rich color and visible graining. Cover with a latex varnish in a low luster finish an ... | |||||

| RE: Curve leg side table with cut outs on lower shelf? | 1 Relevance | 2 years ago | tktoo | Identification | |
| @pompelmo A bit of a puzzle, but it seems that the battens on the underside of the top/tray could be placed on either side of the cross rails allowing slightly better access to the wells below. And I still can only imagine that the cart originally came with something in the round cutouts. Ice buckets, decanters? It’s anyone’s guess. The overall awkwardness of the piece may help explain the difficulty of identifying it. | |||||

| You identify timber by its gr... You identify timber by its grain Monika, not by its weight. These are blackwood, not teak. There's no need to disbelieve that these are by Danish Deluxe as DD did a very good job replicating this design. Really the only significant diffrence is the leg join. On the originals the join between seat-back and the legs is smooth and sculptural. Danish Deluxe cut a bit of a corner here and opted for a cruder join. If you have a close look at your chairs you'll see. | |||||

| Clear nylon spaghetti string strap Wassily | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | ChrisG-52 | General discussion | |
| Clear nylon spaghetti string strap Wassily I have attempted a little online research (which I assume you have also done yourself), and have had difficulty in learning anything about this particular Wassily. Mostly, I'm posting to bump this thread, so that it stays on the radar. I'm interested in knowing the story of this animal. I know have seen them. Ah, I think I recall where now. There is a furniture store here in the city called Lee's Designer Showroom. They carry modern and contemporary furniture, but one catch is, the owner is very anti-fur, anti-leath ... | |||||

| ... minimum, the purest of pure "design? It is perhaps futile, or at least counterproductive, to speak in the abstract, without examples to illustrate what I am talking about -- but I perversely leave it to each reader to fill in the blanks with items from his or her own experience. The other difficulty is chronology; in the case of some objects the "minimal" was reached as early as perhaps 1920, while in others it would be 1940 or 1950 --or later? But I am eager to be contradicted, in part or in all, by others, who will offer examples to justify or illustrat ... | |||||

You mentioned some of the important ones: Akerblom, Mandal, you could have added the Suisse Grandjean and a few others. (I left out Bruno Mathsson, as I would leave out products like the "Perfect Chair" from Interactive health, because the position is so far tilted back that most problems are simply non existing) Among the "designer" exceptions Peter Opsvik, the Norwegian designer of the "Balans" chair, the former Dreyfu ... | |||||
