Its a restorers joy when a client drops off a ‘junker’

Image

Imagine all the parties this old banger has been through…

Image

How many kids have spun around and around while Mum shouts “Someones gonna get hurt”

How many dogs have been shooed down or cats caught a nap.

Who gets it for the Super Bowl or the World Cup final.

Or just Dad asleep with the sunday paper.

Family memories, for generations.

Of all the things you own what stays with you for a lifetime?

It feels like a maternity ward at the shop this week, last count we have six Womb lounge chairs and a Womb Settee all being restored and upholstered.

Hands down the brightest one of the bunch is this leather copper tone example.

We just had to shoot it in sunlight.

Not to say that this one isn’t kinda mental as well.

panel perfection

December 30, 2013

One minute you have a book (beer) in hand and the next ya on your back

The back snapped off your lounge. ouch!!

Option 1: Throw it away

Option 2: Fix it yourself

Option 3: Email us for a quote (see below)

If you decide on Option 3 we will repair your lounge chair so that it retains its strength and integrity.

Firstly we are the only company that makes brazilian rosewood replacement lower back panels using a maple plywood core.

Image

Each lower back panel is made using a closely matching grain pattern to ensure panel uniformity.

Image

After restoration and installation of replacement panel your lounge chair will look original and feel perfect.

This set arrived with Girard fabric that was threadbare and frayed, unfortunately it could not be saved.

Image

After original covers were removed new ones were fabricated using Hallingdal #270, not as wild as Girard but they get the job done. Lastly the base were polished to a bright finish.

Image

Perfection as always.
