Its okay, its a bit of a different gui to get used to and no webmail actually seems very nice to look at. But I dolike setting google as my homepage and having quick acess to email, blogs and all the other thing google offers. Oh bugger now I have to remmeber a new password to post this! | |||||
| Fellow Admirer | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Fellow Admirer I will take your advice and get that book a.s.a.p. A good book on design history is always appreciated. But I still maintain that given (1) Nelson's role as the person who critiqued, edited, and had the final say over every product of that Office; and (2) the difficulty -- if not impossibility -- of finding definitive evidence of who-designed-what-and-what-was-george's-role-in-the-final-product (even assuming we can agree on a criterion / criteria for determining when an attribution to a particular individual can be made), the best practice is ... | |||||
| I agree with AC | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| I agree with AC I do not think that we are looking at something made in larger quantities either. This is mosty likely the work of a smaller workshop or artisanal production. This kind of furniture is typical for the years directly after the war. With relatively many good furniture makers at hand and high demand, furniture was often "designed" by looking for "inspiration" in magazines, show it to the potential client and make any changes that were asked for. The degree of difficulty in manufacturing of this particular set shows that it is not intended for in ... | |||||
| I mist this one completely | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| I mist this one completely Please...do not use epoxy! Two reasons: the first one is simply the difficulty yuo will have with injecting it between the un-glued layers, the second is more important: fast catalizing epoxy becomes very hard and unflexible. These glues are not comparable to the resins re-enforced with glass, kevlar or carbon fibers and the combination with wood is not either. West system epoxy is made for a particular boat building system where wood is both impregnated and glued with epoxy. The West system resins are fine. But...why complicating ... | |||||

You speak about the Eameses as if you personally knew the couple; did you - or did you hear about them from those who met them? I like your thought about difficulty of seeing beauty and quality in a style one dislikes. Another David, the great David Pye, has similar, very interesing ideas about this problem, in his (I believe) "Taste and style" chapter in his The Nature and Aesthetics of Design. cwoo, for m ... | |||||

| ... where the greatest number of topics are "oh...we are so useless and unnecesary", although in brighter language. I'm curious if that is why design often gets the short end of the stick in terms of lower wages and difficulty of acceptance by some business people and engineers. We do add something to the world. In the very least it is making the world an easier place to look at. At best it is a world with fewer accidents because of efficient signage and proper ergonomics. A better world in reduced material waste through lengthening product life cycles and ... | |||||

| "the" master of chair design | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| "the" master of chair design is without any doubt Niels diffrient. I am not 100% sure that the "liberty" chair that was featured in Metropolis (june 2004?) is his latest one. But if it is, I would not even look at anything else. The chair is produced by N.Y. based Humanscale Inc. I know I am late with my point of view but I am most often standing while working, so I have very little personal experience. http://www.humanscale.com | |||||

| koen tell me more about Niels diffrients "Human Scale" I am familiar with the term and generally what it means (it often comes up when reading about the work of le corbusier), but I would like to learn more about how to quantify and use principals of human proportion in my design. My previous approuach is to take measurements from features of furniture I believe are comforable. Tell me more? | |||||
| Help identifying very unique leather, wood, chrome lounge chair! | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | Jfo | Identification | |
| Recently picked up a great lounge chair but have had difficulty confirming the designer and producer. No markings or any sort of identification included anywhere on the chair. After some searching, was able to find this (the only other image of it online I could find!): http://ladukeantiques.blogspot.com/2011/09/arkana-lounge-chairs-by-maurice-burke.html While these chairs certainly have elements similar to other Maurice Burke chairs for Arkana ('safari' and 'alpha'), I can't find any other sort of confirmation - and not sure if this seller just marked the ... | |||||

I also have had difficulty accessing the Index in the last few weeks but have decided to ignore "this site is not secure" notifications and eventually managed to gain access. Perhaps you could contact Bruun Rasmussen and ask them for more information about the designers attribution. It is definitely made by Randers Mobelfabrik and you can find marked examples on the Web. Beautiful blanket chest BTW. | |||||
