	Memphis and so on	1 Relevance	20 years ago	room606	General discussion
	Memphis and so on As a point of departure I think it represents a larger abhorence of silence and contemplation. Modernism adressed the modern dilemma with which we still wrestle. Era modern design sought to help us adapt to the world in a thoughtful manner. That effort wasn't fully realized before the markets became bored and frightened, sprouting (as others have pointed out) a production frenzy so playfully irrelevant it was hard to notice the level of ironic detachment seeping into our process, homes and way of life. Memphis was the MTV of designing, shor ...

	... can see its trying pretty hard to be the real deal. The base is cast aluminum - not chrome, as are the supports for the headrest. The headrest supports also have the heavy rubber washers in them - unlike most of the repros I've seen. The arms are single welted - I was looking at pics of the original to determine if it was something I could do... but unlike the single welt, the double welt has to be sewn on a curved pattern, or else you get that ugly bunching look. Eeek.. no way in hades I could manage that. I think I'm sold on the black leather - k ...

	Seattle- My favorite Seattle day: Breakfast- at Lola's, on 4th. Get the pancakes, house made sausage and a side of hashbrowns. Stroll the market, graze. Get sausages at Uli's and browse DeLaurenti. Spicy Mocha at dilettante. Browse the westlake / 5th Ave area Dinner- How to Cook a Wolf, Queen Anne Seattle Architecture Foundation has info and walking tours. ...and yes we have, weed, gay marrige, and Macklemore!

	Danny, 44 Danny, 44. Chicago, USA. Work in print advertising / production. Modern design fan / hobbyist / dilettante. Misanthropic nihilist that, strangely, likes to be around people. Amazed by the knowledge and insight i've read here, not just from the design professionals, but from the laymen as well. Plus, the back-and-forth petty arguments and insults can be somewhat deliciously entertaining (you know who you are).

	That's a shame (and I'll... That's a shame (and I'll admit that the news passed me by). It's curious, though, how many of the designers of Rizzo's period were "dilettantes" in the best sense of the word. Rizzo passes away, and the obits barely mention his designs, concentrating instead on his other talents, photography included It's also the case with his near namesake Willy Landels, who was an artist, AND the founder of Harpers and Queen AND who still managed to find the time to design sofas for Zanotta! Talented guys.

	tktoo, Thank you. I previously located this site while doing a due diligence search. I appreciate your assistance. I am searching for a manufacturer.

	Ok, how do you suggest I do my "due diligence" in determining a fair price? A chair is being sold for $8000. How do I determine if that's a good price or not without asking a chat board filled with furniture people?
	more than just materials	1 Relevance	23 years ago	koen	General discussion
	... run it is a very tolerant material, it will harden even if the proportions and the temperature are not just right. Many of the "vintage" products have been produced in poor conditions.In the long run it affects the longevity of the product. For the thermoplastic materials it is slightly different. The percentage of monomer (un-polymerized material) in the polymer (plastic) used to be much higher than it is now. So even the same material is substantially better now than 25 years ago. The additifs used for U.V. protection, colour etc. are more efficient and i ...
	RE: Coffee Maker Dilemma	1 Relevance	6 years ago	s_serenity	General discussion
	Posted by: fleur-du-mal Never liked press pots, since even on the coarsest setting you'd still end up with a bunch of coffee grounds in your cup.I use a Cuisinart carafe coffee maker. It's very good, has a timer (just in case you can't wait that 30 seconds in the morning it takes to get it ready) and the thermal pot keeps the coffee hot and fresh for hours. upd: confused our water heater and coffee maker brands, oops. Hmm, strange. I use an Aero Press - makes a large very strong mug of coffee. Also storage takes up no space at all. Making coffee from grinding beans to drinking first cup takes 6.5 minutes end to end including cleanup and I've never had an issue with grounds.
	Simple answer, HK.	1 Relevance	11 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Simple answer, HK. Fair market value is whatever the seller can get for it. And, FWIW, hitting online chat boards for advice doesn't really count as "due diligence".
	Not	1 Relevance	14 years ago	niceguy	General discussion
	Not cheesedanish, Having someone execute due diligence to determine the value of an item (appraisal) for a retail establishment is generally not free and is "the cost of doing business". When you make the statement: We all want to know what our things are worth, speak for yourself. I do not require any assistance in determining the value of my pocessions.
