	... personal validity of our members no? I don't know much about sculpture either, and I see this as a decent question. I have wondered and wanted to own sculpture before as well. Not to show off, but sometimes only paintings can get boring and having some 3 dimension art can be fun. How is Lit Up supposed to "see first, buy next" if he/she doesn't know where to look? Pull your panties out of your tight @ss and answer the question or walk. It's that simple. Now if anyone has an actual answer I am actually curious to hear it. Cheers.
	synergy	1 Relevance	16 years ago	taptaptap	General discussion
	... a great feeling to come into a room where everything from the carpets to the artwork to the ashtrays seems to fit together and complement each other. You get a kind of synergy, where everything looks better than if it were just on its own. A kind of context, maybe. It's insanely complicated how it works -- color, style, dimension, purpose etc all come into play -- but when everything clicks into place, you feel like you've come into a "room", rather than just a bunch of furniture in a space. More specific to your place -- since you've asked for comme ...

	... -- from either a structural or an aesthetic viewpoint. Of course, one would want to minimize the visual impact of these fillets, by making them a bit shorter than the dimension of the plywood which covers them. As to the angle(s) of the short free leg of the triangle, that would be up to the maker; I have chosen something which is a compromise between minimalism and strength. The crucial component -- the adhesive -- is not shown. . .

	... Saarinen table (and others ? Anybody ?) it's good enough for me. Far better certainly than a wanna-be shape (there are bogus "ellipses" designed by or for carpenters who want to work only with arcs) -- but the super-ellipse is apparently a "true geometrical construction" by any definition, even though it can (unlike the classic ellipse) be produced in any number (literally) of variations. Not so the true ellipse: though there are an infinite number of dimensions (length x width) which can satisfy the construction, the formula produces only one shape for ...
	I don't mind this thread any more, personally	1 Relevance	17 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	I don't mind this thread any more, personally It was only truly painful during the first six months, when we were expected to politely listen while people droned on about their 1940's mahogany sideboards. But now? A portal into another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination.

	Koen... Shit! You make it seem so easy to distill brilliantly. Let me express it as a book title. 🙂 "Design at the Nexus: Function, Technology, and Culture in Design" I want to throw legacy in there some how, but screw it! Let it be implied as the evolutionary dimension of each of the three categories.

	... gets shabby in less interesting ways. Compare leather shoes with plastic shoes. Don't take my word for it: visit your Jaguar or Bentley dealership, and notice how much vinyl upholstery they offer. I don't have a comparative life-cycle analysis handy, but I suspect that leather (from cows; biodegradable) is "greener" then vinyl (from petroleum; nonbiodegradable). On the other hand, if you're a vegetarian, there IS an ethical dimension. Whoever suggested buying vintage: great idea. Let's use up the stuff we have before making more.

These chairs are MUCH different in many ways such as dimension by frame width, frame style or finish (without "Bull nose" end), cushion construction such as stitching(double and triple), zipper size, seat cushion and backrest design as well overall cushion dimention and form as compared to a verified vintage "Tugendhat" Knoll reproduction chair (chrome plated steel or polished solid steel)...as this holds true today considering the chairs I have compared them to thus far.

Each contains a stairway leading to four partial floors that diminish in size as the pyramid tapers."http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordDetails/detai... That is rather an understatement. There's a bit of concrete involved, too. 🙂 I do not really like it, but rather I do marvel at it as a does a half-alienated Stanley Kubrick character standing transfixed before a monolith i ...

	... this point I want to insert a few reflections on technology. The term technology in general is understood as the universe of artifacts and procedures for producing merchandises with which companies fill the stage of everyday practice. Technology implies hardware and software , and software implies the notion of design as a facet of technology that cannot be dispensed with. Here in Latin America we face the problem of technology policy and industrialization policy. Research on these issues reveals interesting details about progress and set-backs. But these s ...

	a minor point "Flat screen" refers to the surface of the screen, not the whole thing. We just got rid of a flat screen tube tv--nice flat front but big honking overall dimension front-to-back. The slim TVs are either LCD or plasma. LCD is not as expensive as plasma, I believe. /nitpicking

This subject is one that everyone has to come to realization of and deal with in their own ways. But people have to reach out to others on this subject in order to build sufficient awareness for society to seek peaceful, orderly, responsible change regarding it.
