BEFORE / AFTER: Trio of Eames Bikini Chairs

By Modern Conscience November 26, 2015 January 15, 2017 BEFORE / AFTER

Three very sad wire chairs. Rust, broken wires, missing glides, messy old welds, screws and nuts rusted to frames…

We’ve given them a whole new life. Perfect welds, every broken wire repaired, aerospace grade powder coat, new glides, fabulous new Modern Conscience bikini pads.

Now it’s a truly lovely set.

AFTER…

WHAT TO KNOW: All eiffel glides are not created equal.

Modern Conscience eiffel glides are made to the exact specifications of the original glides. Here we’ve compared our glides with a vintage glide and one of our competitors. It’s not hard to tell which glide is faithful to the original, improves the value of your chair, and possibly most important, won’t scratch your floors.
