Very early 1960’s Es670-71 arrived at the workshop with thrashed cobalt blue cushions.

Brian L. wanted to keep the color uniqueness

Owned since she was a young lady, Tanya was fed up with these DCW’sIMG_3967

It takes a bit more than a rub with tung oil to get this kind of finish

We highlighted the edges to make the ply pop & most importantly installed new shock mounts for decades more  safe seating

Knock knock Hong Kong Knock Off

November 18, 2014

Its no secret that there are numerous knock off eames style lounge and ottomans out there, China are shipping containers of them every week. If you find a bargain on Craigslist its probably a rip off. On the other hand if you should happen to get one for $200 like the one below we can turn it around.

Similar comfort & style for a fraction of the cost

Jason requested something different for his Montana cabin, a little more worn with a club chair look.

We started with really rough 1950’s rosewood panels, after many hours they came out great, all aluminum parts received a ‘Dirty Brass’ finish reminiscent of the Warrior. Last in the puzzle were the cushions upholstered in a gorgeous Townsend hide.

Henry Ford said “you can have it in any color you want, as long as it is black.” I’m sure if Charles & Ray were alive today they would say “you can have it in any color you want, as long as you enjoy it” The world doesn’t have to be upholstered in black leather.
