Don’t have these, but I have a couple of Nakashima’s chairs–most comfortable chairs I have ever owned.

Registering a “doing business as” (d/b/a) is simple, but you do have to do it. I believe it is the same everywhere. All you need to do is go to your town or city hall and fill out a “doing business as” form that allows you to use the name of your chosing. That’s it. It is illegal to use a different name, if you do not do that. Either way, you a…[Read more]

Hello, I am a graduate from Hungary. This is the first version of my portfolio and i would be grateful for some comments, critiques! Thanks in advance!:)

I know for sure of only one company that is currently using that package, being Laurel Hill Gardens in Chestnut Hill. From my understanding, it is aimed more towards residential design applications versus larger projects that might require more complex data input (i.e. grading, utilities, drainage, etc.). Are you using the software or just…[Read more]

ah ha. thanks for the tips. i wasn’t planning on doing any kind of construction specs until i get insured, just some visualization graphics/concepts and a planting plan or two to keep me in the ballgame…

Good point, I’ll keep that in mind. I know I can trust Illinois, though. If they were restructuring to a 4+2 program in LA, like in the architecture program, they would have probably transitioned to a BSLA.

Looks fantastic! Seems to be a nice blend with more technical information than standard glossy garden mags which concern themselves with the appearance, not how to get it. Also some good tips in it for pros.
 
Also, nice and clean and SIMPLE layout, yet modern. I like this better than the recently revised LAM, which is illegible at itmes with the…[Read more]

Those Wassily chairs are painfully uncomfortable. I would throw in Noboru Nakamura’s Poang chair from Ikea. Simple and clean timeless design, insanely comfortable, and unlike the other furniture on your list…CHEAP!

Great.  Do you own any of these?  Most of them have good look but uncomfortable to seat.

We published 50,000 copies for the spring and have 1800 left. There are subscriptions available thru paypal and the online version was just released for the premier issue

Thanks for the link! Love the classic furniture…

It looks informative and eye catching, so I wish you well. Anything like this is good for raising consciousness out there – but I wasn’t clear whether it is delivered on line only? It seems like you can get the advertising, so best success getting the word out.
