| Stylish task lighting for the office | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Hello, Wanted to get anyone's opinions on a lighting pendant fixture that offers effective overhead task lighting for an office space, but still has a sense of design and aesthetic. The lighting will be going over a Florence Knoll Desk/table paired with two Nelson Swag chairs. Most overhead pendant lighting is either too diffused (like bubble lamps) or the lighting spread is too narrow for a task lighting. Any ideas? Thanks, RG | |||||

| I've had good results with that same kind of diffuse stain, though on teak, by using Barkeeper's Friend cleanser (10% oxalic acid and found in grocery stores) mixed with a little water to form a thin paste and then just rubbed on gently for a few minutes and then rinsed off. There are threads here on how to use it for longer periods on darker, more distinct stains and I've had good results with that too, but try it for just a minute or two. Some really light stains need even less time. The thing about rubbing it around on the stain rather than applying som ... | |||||

| ... intentional fuming of the oak. This surface patina does not go very deep, but it will look dramatically lighter once you go through it by sanding. I would not be surprised if the oak was unfinished or soap finished (the Mogensen for Søborg coffee table I have has oak legs which were either unfinished or soap finished, which is about the same thing after 50 years without renewal of the soap). The other reason I suspect that there is not a film finish, like a polyurethane or oil, is specifically because the oak has patinated so much. A film finish would much ... | |||||
| Uh, well... | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Uh, well... UV damage is cumulative and irreversible. North light, while diffuse, actually contains a larger proportion of the blue end of the spectrum. Try to think in terms of intensity vs. duration of exposure. It's always advisable to limit the overall light levels first and then try to filter out the UV (and IR) from what's left. Curtains, shades, blinds, something you can close easily when you are away, are all good. UV filtering glazing or films will help, too. Watch leaving items too long in one place on the top to help avoid hard "shadows" from unev ... | |||||

Sure you can keep the Papa in the living room because it's the most comfy chair and yes I agree with you it is the most comfy chair in the world IMO! Maybe you should buy its matching ottoman to complete your set so you can be even more comfortable with putting your legs up! Move the womb into another room and reupholster it or at least move it to the opposite side of the sofa. Also, I'm picturing a large cream shag rug to replace the cowhide. This might solve the problem of the papa chair b ... | |||||

| Spanky- Your small variegated dot barely registers as a print, from ten paces-- reads as more of a tweed (diffused parallel lines) or a stripe. I challenge you to find an example of a non-stripe print upholstery that works better than a solid would. | |||||
| Honeycomb/cellular shades | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Technadia | General discussion | |
| Honeycomb/cellular shades These come close to disappearing when pulled all the way up. Plus, they look a bit like shoji screens when white and semi-transparent. Very nice diffused light. I have one on our sliding glass door (70") and that's about as wide as I would want to heft up and down. (Although you can get a motorized lift.) I think two across would look fine. Also, these shades have a higher R value than many window coverings, especially if you go with double or triple cell. I get the top down/bottom up mechanism for privacy, opening the bottom a litt ... | |||||
| I have another one | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | dashes | General discussion | |
| I have another one It's not so much a WTH is this, but a W(hy)TH design? Is that white thing an ash tray? Is it so that the smoke gets diffused and has to go around the edges before rising? Maybe it makes a neat effect. But I bet the underside of that glass has to be washed really often. Just a really odd design, imho Or, maybe it's a candy dish and you get to laugh at your guests as they bang their hands into the glass reaching for it? http://cgi.ebay.com/Craft-Associates-TONK-Haegar-Coffee-and-lamp-tables_... | |||||

| ... of the desk, they'd throw the other side of the desk completely into shadow. If you sometimes needed to light that side of your desk, you'd have to get an additional lamp. b) The wide reflector lets the lamp illuminate a large portion of your desk without having to lift it so high or tilt it so far back that the bulb shines straight into your eyes. Older anglepoise lamps generally had tighter-focusing reflectors, designed for casting a small pool of light on a single page -- no good for simultaneously illuminating a computer keyboard AND a sheet of paper ... | |||||
| A simple little china ball | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | rockland | General discussion | |
| A simple little china ball works as well. 4bucks. 2 or three of them. and a light socked assembly. Laundry hamper is a great idea. You just want to diffuse the light. If you want to experiment with the light box idea you could frame up a piece of 4ft x 4ft milk plexi. Just rest it on a couple saw horses with a clip light under. Stores away easier when you don't need it. Nice thing about digital cameras is the free testing. Take 50 or more photos of the same object and take notes. (without flash) Keeping the camera stable is key. Even resting on a stack of bo ... | |||||

| First the good, then the better and now The best acqusition last month was the Carlotta de Bevilacqua Tian Xia metamorfosi suspension lamp for Artemide A247000. The Tian Xia metamorfosi suspension lamp has a mirror-treated polished aluminum structure with a thermoplastic resin diffuser covered in mirror-finished translucent film. It has three systems for direct, indirect and diffused light and a remote control to manage the three light systems. My friends at Artemide told me that very few were sold in the US and that until now none were used in a resident ... | |||||
| depends on your needs...... | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | mario | General discussion | |
| depends on your needs...... i got my black taccia as a gift from my mom, who purchased it for $100. us at a local consignment shop many years ago. it's a lovely table lamp with limitations. the glass globe moves loosely on the base, so it's easy to bump and crash especialy on the floor. when useing a higher watt bulb the metal cylinder gets super hot, so i use a low wattage bulb for fear of disaster. light is low and diffused which limits it's practical use. it makes a powerful sculptural statement with dim moody light. | |||||

| Paul Mayan Made some wonderful designs for Habitat. He used "Lumacryl" plastic which gives a very nice diffused glow. This is one of his floor lamps we have. It has a 3-way switch and will cast light up, all-over, or both. The base has nice subtle detailing and the construction quality is very good also. | |||||
