	... composition is a matter of random chance. Once I figured out how to photograph them, I took a bunch of photos and a few of them look like something. One looks like the Reed College Griffin, to me at least. Technicolor rorschach, essentially. Better than William Ivey, if you ask me. Hard to respect a painter whose work is appraised according to its surface area. But I digress..

	... and maybe even a tad ostentatious. We used to eat such austerity as Pawson designed for breakfast. In fact, I can recall some in my inhibited, conventional, middle class community that would have found Pawson's sanctuary a bit on the decadent side. What is with the unnecessary extravagence of the horse shoes of light on the walls? Aren't white walls good enough for you monks? They are for us. And drinking real wine for communion? Why, you monks have lost your starch. We have purified to grape juice, you party animals. And we put the little glasses in little ...

	... piece. Just my assumptions. Being made from solid wood makes it even more special. I too would be interested in its history. Btw, I don't think any one suggested that this was a cheap copy. It may not even be a copy, as you suggested. Riki, thanks for the cultural insight 🙂 I was slightly aware of there being different preferences for ice across the world, but it was most enlightening nevertheless. Swedes don't use ice to anything near that extent. I actually always order my drinks in restaurants without ice, regardless of where I go. It's also a health r ...
	Robin Day products and Habitat	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Andrew J Edinburgh	General discussion
	... Habitat; in the UK there is a large chain called Habitat that was founded by Terence Conran. He then started a higher-end stand-alone store called The Conran Shop (interestingly, the first Conran Shop was on the site of what used to be the first Habitat Shop on Fulham Road- but I digress..). When Habitat decided to move in to the US market in the 1970s, it found that someone else owned the rights to the name over there; they therefore re-branded themselves Conran's. Over its lifetime in the US, the chain slowly re-branded itself as Conran's/Habitat, but t ...

	SDR: I will. Not that I encourage gloating. Tktoo. The back of the case is teak veneer plywood, and bottoms of the drawers are teak veneer plywood. But all the rest: the case, the apron, the legs, the drawer boxes, are all solid teak. It is quite glorious. And looking at it Aasbjerg's work is what made me realize how much of the style of modern furniture is built on plywood and particle board. It is simply not possible to build a single piece back of any size the would not have wood movement problems. But I have digressed....
	Hey there I agree.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	Hey there I agree. Target every now and then has the odd gem. I was really digressing relative to the Porsche. Perhaps the Cayenne Turbo S is a great vehicle, but the Turbo 911 is a stellar vehicle in almost any year. The 97 air-cooled 400+ HP coupled with a comparable amount of foot pounds of torque, uterly sublime. and given the right location to exercise - the A7 down the middle of Germany perhaps. It'll take a week to wipe the grin off your face, guaranteed.

	... growth may have been volunteer rather than planned. And then of course, there were the sod houses like those my grandmother were born in. What I'm trying to say here is that using biomass for roofs is not original and it has always been used for its cost effectiveness and its insulating qualities. To the extent that the concept of covering roof with a sort of super absorbent, green bio Kimby reduces water run off, it makes great sense. I've always thought water run off from roofs should be kept on-site and used to grow plants there. And if covering a roof w ...

	... KBR or as they are also known "Kill em Bag em & Replace em", the Iraq debacle, Bombing Iran, run up to war, Mission Accomplished, no bid contracts, the Unitary Executive, massive secrecy coupled with massive incompetence equals massive f*** ups, bring it all on. But alas a forum on Design is no place to get all political, although I do think that everything is ultimately connected. And yes, those ass clowns have some nerve misappropriating icons of modernism as set dressing elements. It causes a total disconnect in my cerebral cortex also. Now if you want a ...
	More Laszlo...Pt. 2	1 Relevance	19 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	... that one's eyes expect to see. I think Wegner's shorn ox horns were a bit of a joking allusion to the life of a father in a household by Wegner. He has agreed to let the agressive points of his manhood be shorn-off his manhood in exchange for being the kindly overseer of a brood. He's an ox pulling a heavy load, not an agressive male ready to gore an opponent over turf and a female. But I digress. Whereas, say, Wegner was not above violating his own forms with decisive counterpoint, occassionally, Laszlo seems to have made it his own defining style. I think ...

	This message was placed,... This message was placed, when we launched the forum, to mark out the field of discussion. The field covered by DA was already very broad (product, furniture, interior, transportation designs, etc.) and we wanted to make sure that we keep a coherence in the contents. This rule is probably unnecessary after all these years. The forum has today a strong enough identity to support certain digressions. You are, of course, invited to speak freely about related disciplines (architecture, graphic design, fashion design...). We are not so ...

	WORD BALLOONS? I would first	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	WORD BALLOONS? I would first have to find the index page before I could comment on word balloons. Seriously, I understand about the need for ads, and the site looks wonderful, and I am sure I will get used to the new digs. (In about 6 or 8 months) I do love the idea of easier image posting! Who knows? Maybe someday I will have my own flip book like Aunt Mark has. But in the meantime...... ADS OFF EARTH NOW! EDIT: Oh THOSE word balloons... so how come every other thread has word balloons but this one? Huh?

	... those persons with jobs would spin off and start other businesses and create more jobs and so on; that is how economies grow bottom up. oligopoly giganticism is not growth in most cases. it is simply cost shifting on an epic, unregulated level. it is too often parasitic exploitation of the growth that has already occurred. Oh, well, I digress. The good news is that as the North American Union emerges, for all the wrong reasons (depresentative government, consolidation of the North American energy grid, the need for poor Latin American soldiers to fight the ...

I hold my old Emmylunga stroller in the same high esteem I hold my old steel Legnano Roma Olypiade road bicycle, my over and under shotgun, my new Stihl lawn equipment, and my six wheeled/split back Grahl computer chair. These are wonderful, reliable things that work great and are a joy to use (though I've retired my over and under out of deference to the beauty of living ...
