I have almost the same chair and purchased the straps (produced by the Fagas Company of Denmark) and clips from Evans Inc. Here's the website: http://ww...

Good afternoon. I was curious if there are any indicators of whether a base is a Saarinen tulip design or not (for example, number of screws, proportions, etc). I just purchased a stool off craig...

I could really use that snazzy lamp... it's so dark in my apartment I am experiencing eye strain.

Forgive me... I would favor the gray midnite array.

1. GM 2. Fly 3. The Birds is one of my favorite movies!

I sympathize with the reader. I was recently screamed at by the host of a wine bar on North 6th street. Needless to say, I did not eat there. Maybe he was on edge because of the eatery's 16 heal...

I have been searching the Internet for an informative site on mid century furniture. All I have come across are merchants. I just want to identify a few pieces of furniture I have. I've noticed ...

I vaguely remember a McGreen before MrGreen came on the scene.

Thanks, SALTOCEAN! I was wondering what was going on with those prices. Even though the sofa on the website is much cheaper than the original, it's not worth it if it turns out to be a piece of j...

Good morning, AT. Has anybody ever purchased furniture from Advanced Interior Designs? My sister found a sofa on their website that she really likes. The prices are so low it seems suspicious. ...

I sometimes stop by the New Haven IKEA on my way up to a friend's house in Vermont. I haven't purchased any furniture from them in a while (last piece was a pine bookshelf that I "hybridized" with...

I haven't seen the Dali lips sofa since Ozzy's "No More Tears" video.

I love the Tulip chair, bellaknollie. It reminds me of the Muppets Pigs in Space skit. I will keep my eyes peeled for one. Unfortunately, a lot of other people seem to love that design, too! ...

Thanks, olya! I had the children's version of the chairs as a child (a pretty amazing hand-me-down from my Dad's ex-wife). They were black and my parents would always trip over them because they ...

I want opinions on the comfort of the Bertoia side chair. I found an old one for a decent price. I am thinking about using it as a desk chair which means sitting in this chair for pretty long per...

Shoot. Sorry, Art! My little sister works for the EPA in Chicago (in the water division... guess it's in the genes!). I'll forward your question to her.

Christinanyc- My boss often complains about water coolers. She says they harbor bacteria. I am not sure where she got this information. I will ask her when she comes in on Monday and post my fin...

Art- My division concentrates on lead and copper in drinking water. Older buildings sometimes have either lead service lines or copper service lines joined by lead solder. There was a lead ban in...

I do come here to read about design! It is a welcome diversion. Most of my day is spent analyzing water quality data. I only drink tap water. NYC tap water is great. I was just in Europe and I...

You might hang a diptych or varying sizes (same height but different widths). The narrower one could hang on the shorter wall. A triptych could work, too. One piece could hang on the shorter wal...
