| Terraillon Scale | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | usd274 | General discussion | |
| Terraillon Scale Picked up this Terraillon Bathroom Scale at a garage sale this weekend. Wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it? I can't find a version anywhere online after some extensive research. Probably a Marco Zanuso or Sapper design/collaboration? Reminds me of the Sapper Minitimer and Zanuso's kitchen scales of course. Thought it was digital until getting some fresh batteries and seeing its illuminated mechanical face. Never seen anything quite like it. Sure is a beauty in my opinion. | |||||

Here are a couple I took at sunrise from out my front door at my old house (the one with the deck that I miss so much). This was after a rare blizzard. Damn, I used to keep early hours... | |||||
| Did you go to the preview | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | _ | General discussion | |
| Did you go to the preview first before you went to the actual auction date? If you did not, the preview (usually for several days) was the opportunity to do the research by looking at the item closely for sale and comparing them from examples from books, museum collections, high end vintage gallery shops and like most do in the digital age "google" from their smart phones while standing in front of the item being examined. This is also why anyone interested in acquiring examples of 20th century design (whether for less or paying top dollar) should know more ... | |||||

| thanks for your input and suggestions. I have been working with my father to try to encourage him to donate the magazines to an interested entity that would make them available for research purposes. The university here did take his papers and models and wrote and published a beautiful book on his work. I think you hit the nail on the head in that there is some 20 plus boxes of magazines. If I had the space I would keep them myself and offer them on loan for informational purposes but finding someone who wants to curate and manage this much paper in this ... | |||||

| ... like a hardcover book arranged by title and year of publication and available only as reference materials for doing research. The only challenge I could think of is finding an institution that will be interested in acquiring a big stack of old/older magazines in the digital age. A design related library will probably keep these on their stacks for a long time instead of a public library that has a tendency to discard older materials to make room for new ones. If your budget permits this for personal use, this is one of the ways to keep them. You could al ... | |||||

| Object: you should start... Object: you should start selling digital snappies of designer pieces. You should be able to command a convenience premium for allowing the buyer not to have to transport and store all that weight. That would turn the post-real MCM market on its head: give away the object and sell the snappy. | |||||

| . That client/patron model is changing pretty quickly though, see link. I used to be pretty cynical that design had become almost solely about marketing and business but deep down its the human urge and curiosity that drives it, how many artists do what they do with no expectation of ever having a regular or stable income? The majority I'd say and the same would go for designers. Sketches SDR? http://www.dezeen.com/2013/08/25/tom-dixon-most-digital-fabrication/ | |||||

| My 1988 Honda Civic wagon has a digital clock on the dashboard. How's that for a combo ? The digital numerals glow green -- but Honda designers apparently thought that would clash with the white graphics elsewhere in the dash; they provided a red filter over the LED readout, so the result is white numerals . . .

At the time too, it was not the good 1950's that was retro, it was more the kitsch and popular culture (pink flamingos, tail finned cadillacs etc.) that influenced most of what was happening in the 1980's.

| Movie set, Hollywood, 1934 | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| What goes around comes around ? "Modern" -- de Stijl, Bauhaus -- was meant to permanently alter the design landscape, and I'd argue that it did -- because it wasn't (isn't) a "style" as much as a movement, a reformation. It was meant to clear the slate, to start again at zero, in a way that Arts and Crafts, and Art Nouveau, could not do. For this reason its inevitable spawn, postwar modernism (MCM), will continue to act as the default position, from which various iterations -- led, as always, by the architects -- such as Postmodern (now generally discredite ... | |||||
