	Were they labeled in the early days?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Caco	General discussion
	Were they labeled in the early days? So I guess the question is, were they ever labeled or marked in the early days of Gavina and Thonet or even early Knoll? and was the marking on the metal itself or was it just a paper label on the cloth/leather? I know Knoll changed the design a little bit so could that possibly affected the dimension of it?
	Today and Tomorrow Indeed	1 Relevance	18 years ago	bustelo	General discussion
	Today and Tomorrow Indeed Thanks for posting the link! We often discuss design here based on specific objects and details. The Cold War Modern installation at the Victoria and Albert Museum nudges me to think more broadly about context and time as a controlling dimension and function of design. I have become so accustomed to seeing the Things that I easily lose place of their environment. I enjoy having a different filter to view the contents of history.

	In regards to the ceiling hei... In regards to the ceiling height. No, I wouldn't. The project I scanned that employed the use of the trailer implemented the addition of a sloped shed roof raised slightly above the structure with glass added between the sloped roof and structure. It was very pleasing aesthetically and gave a new dimension to the box.
	Oh, how	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Oh, how nice -- the Bottom Line is heard from ! Over time, pairs and sets have brought a premium, compared to the sale price of single items. Breaking sets will always be a loss to the possibility of matching groups, an eternal human ideal. The opposite is entropy, nature's randomness. This is a dining chair, based on its form: a typical upright-posture chair, with minimal horizontal dimension and a vertical stance.

	Every moment	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Every moment spent getting all your blocks to the same (height) dimension, and laying them on a uniformly flat surface without compressible chips, etc, beneath the blocks, will pay off -- because sanding end grain takes a LOT longer than sanding wood in the normal direction. And I would expect a belt sander to try to grab and upset any loose blocks, so getting them tight, perhaps with filler or adhesive (?), will be essential. (Perhaps a disc sander, while somewhat less aggressive (?), will be less of a problem in this regard. I don't have any experience wi ...
	Well,	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Well, there's no excuse for what L Martin did, but. . .if it's good enough for Britain, it's good enough for her principle colony, sez I ! In thinking about what the English system does for me that metric doesn't, it comes down to some kind of material poetry, versus the driest imaginable prose, written by a soulless robot. With feet, inches and fractions thereof, the smaller the dimension becomes, the more refined the numbers used to denote it -- fractions halving each remainder, doubling in number. It just feels right. Of course, one becomes devoted to w ...
	Ha! Did you read the copy?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Modern Love	General discussion
	Ha! did you read the copy? "At first hand Couture appears to be a regular generic plastic shell / metal frame chair, but it comes with a twist. The whole point of having such a chair is the pattern on the shell with a new printing-on-plastic technique. There are two versions: a tweed pattern with pastel coloured threads as well as a crocodile-print pattern. Couture will come in more versions along the year hence making it... a fashionable product. Starck's idea here is to drive design away from the minimalist era. He explicitly makes a reference to the fash ...

	... seeming to have literally been deposited almost from another dimension. His buildings all stand out from their backgrounds almost like hallucinogenic superimpositions of foregrounds on vague backgrounds, as in a Hitchcock film. Corbusier was able to do this about as regularly as Saarinen, but Saarinen's buildings are just more stunning. With Corbu, the marvel I feel for his buildings is always more the marvel I feel for the emergence of an infant. With Saarinen's buildings, the marvel I feel is analogous to what I feel for the occassional magnificience of a ...
	Pt. 2	1 Relevance	19 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Pt. 2 When you live in a Barragan house he wants you to feel serenity. I am not sure that Barragan used a conscious dramatic theme in his work to go along with the emotional theme of serenity. He did not articulate one in the reading I did about him. But looking at his buildings, progressions of form and color are everywhere,as are strong images of water flowing dramatically out of form and falling into pools reflecting that forms. Is it dramatic? Yes. Can I articulate the dramatic theme? Not yet. But I think Barragan proves that Modern design not only can ...
	i'll weigh in on the satin finish	1 Relevance	19 years ago	kdc (USA)	General discussion
	i'll weigh in on the satin finish a satin finish has the dual advantage of revealing more visual dimension than does flat, and it is more resistant to fingerprinting, burnishing, marring, soiling from body oils, etc. a flat finish [especially in black] absorbs almost all of the light thrown at it, so if you have something that you want to pronounce [namely lovely design], flat is typically not all that--ahem--flattering. this is not to speak disparagingly of flat black, of course. it can be a nice contrast finish, especially next to a high-gloss black. but t ...

	cont.	1 Relevance	19 years ago	koen	General discussion
	cont. Let me complete this with a comment on originals. I agree that quality should be respected and the different foundations should consider that. In fact it would be much easier in quite a number of countries to sue people that make inferior copies even if you acknowledge that they have the right to make these copies. I also find it strange that discussions on "original" do not include the fact that some products have changed over the years both in material and in dimension. The Barcelona chair in the collection of the MoMA for instance is different from ...

	... as it approaches the vertical post to counteract that. Then, to keep the two pairs of legs from simply spreading apart under load, a long tie is placed to connect the two ends to each other. And because that tie rod is entirely under tension, it could be as slender as a cable, which explains why Eames returns to the thinner dimension of the other parts of the base. Logical, and thus elegant -- when you understand it. Trust your local architect to do the right thing, with a chosen form. . .
