Design Icons - what is your favourite?

One day something is going to fly into that open mouth of GWB's, but whether the vacant mind of the man would notice is another thing...

Well, then, this also needs to be included.

Come on then, Kuma..

Just to complete the loop...

An Australian design icon: Computer Socks. No picture because they look just like . . . socks.

Here is some of the ones OJ sent me. 1 or 2 would not display for some reason.

wow.

a nice space.

Love that dining table and cabinet!
Looks like a time maching going back to the '30s.

I almost can see the Lombard and Gable in it.

This is getting like the Generation Game 'conveyor belt'! Kuma, I already did the 52, on page 3.

To be fair this thread will degenerate into shit if all we do is display naim and linn equipment. We may all be geeks but 99.999% of the world will never have heard of either so they ain't icons of design.

I think that Carol Lombard and a 52 look rather well together.

Garyi!
Thank you for bringing my pictures to the forum.

Kuma ! because of the lousy picture quality i would like you had made the photographes of my dining room .

information you do n o t seeon those pictures:

On the right wallof my dining room is a fraimed
movie advertising picture of "once upon atime in america".

and on the picture of my working room (did not open)
you would see two other design icons:nakamichi deck rx 202
and the (non sunburst) les paul.

'Once upon the time..' was a wonderful film.

I also like the title theme, IIRC, Morricone composed it.

What you need in your room is a blondewood art deco grand piano.

OJ Is the colour on the walls accurate for the time? (I am interested to know)

the room is alittle bit to small for that,but you are right,if you were really rich during the thirties,you had an pianoplayer while you
had your diner.
this part is taken in my room oby the b&o with
the (remote and programmable!!!!!)turntable.

Wasn't that black and white

The movie is coloured

the walls in the rooms? i cant rember exactly.
remember only that the colours of tje movie were
slightly damped(specially during the scenes during the scenes at prohibition time.
in the later scenes (during the 70ies ithink when de niro came back)the scenes had less damped lihgt.
think it was a matter of sergio leones style
to show the evolution of decades.

..........and to be honest: i am alittle bit
colour blind (red/green)and therefore i choose
colours more out of my feeling that they maybe can fit than to go for perfect authencity.

living in conservative europe,my friends critizise often that the table lamp (a very cheap tiffany style copy)does not fit and i
should better go for a wagner or loos designed
conservative art deco lamp,which i cannot afford
and is also not my taste.

Okay...I'm joking

Rasher ! a total (car)recall.??????
