DH sitting next to me while I watched asked if it was like Peter and the Wolf: the hi-hat is the sewing machine and the flute is the clay, and the upright bass is the fiberglass? I agree about the music.

I agree about the fiberglass, yikes. Unfortunately that type music so popular at the time always makes me feel anxious so I was on nerves watching all 8 minutes. This was such an interesting video!

I've been considering, when I have some time, of making some chairs out of a wood veneer mesh using the Herman Miller fiberglass shells as a mould. I got the idea from the work that Joe Harmon is doing, building Splinter (http://www.joeharmondesign.com/). I love the way that the chairs feel, but my better half wants a slightly more formal looking dining room. Interesting.

It's so interesting to see all of the careful crafting and measuring that went into them. If only they weren't so expensive in Europe... sigh... Ah, you’re welcome!

Heh. I must say, though, the new "safe" polypropylene shell chairs that Vitra makes for HM are just not the same thing. That's why I only buy vintage.
