FASCINAT SND " Fascinating. "
INTEREST SND " I find it... Extremely interesting. "
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Un-SND Rumors Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow.
-------------
The above sounds are supposed to be in the Future...
but they were recorded in the Past...
and you're hearing them Today.
Spock would have found this fascinating.
Something that Spock might have found Extremely
interesting is that there are many Modern
industrial design motifs that folks think were
created Today, but they were actually done Yesterday.
Yesterday being circa 1900 (or earlier).
What I speak of is Viennese Design circa 1900.
** page 10: Shows a photo of a private residence
in East Hampton, New York. Modern looking building
built in 1979. On the porch is a seating group of
chairs that look modern & stylish. You'd think
they were also designed and built circa 1979.
But they were made in Vienna by Hans Vollmer (1902) !!
An even better example is **page 75 item 92.
What you'd see (out of context) is a table setting
of Very Modern eating & serving utensils. They
look like they are from one of those Scandinavian
stores that sell Modern furniture & household goods.
On closer examination, you'd see that they were
designed & produced in Vienna circa (1906) !!
Finally, **page 79 item 104. You'd see a porcelain
coffee service that looks like one you'd see today
in an upscale store at a Mall. This time the pieces
were designed by Jutta Sitka & executed
by Josef Böck circa (1901).
Not that many years ago MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art)
in New York ran an incredible exhibition that
featured many of these same amazing creations of the
Wiener Werstätte. It exhibited not only items like
those described above but also an entire
Wiener Store Front. And it had a recreation of a
Viennese coffee house with an abundance of tasty
Viennese pastries and coffee for sale.
Luckily the pastries weren't made in (1902) !
