Step by step photos that will help you disassemble an Authentic Eames Lounge. The lounge shown is a late 1970’s version with flat clips that hold the upholstery on. The earlier styles will differ in that they have a pair of round clips instead of all of the flat clips. The basic concepts are the same though.
For this restoration the owner wanted the new leather to perfectly match the original. This had been her father’s chair; it was close to her heart and she wanted it restored to match her memories. Restoring pieces to their original specs, right down to the materials and component parts is our specialty. This was a delight.

Torn up armrests and peeling panels on a lovely vintage Eames Time Life Chair. We made new armrests in leather that perfectly matches the original, and carefully cleaned and restored as much of the original leather to keep the soul of the chair, preserve it’s integrity, and maintain the highest possible value for the piece.

Four grimey armshells. Upholstered in Herman Miller Blue Hopsack. Vivid and fabulous.

Bad break. Don’t fret, our panels will restore your chair back to perfection. We perfectly match color, grain, and finish. And we work with the highest quality rosewood veneers you can find. Notice that all of the details are perfect, right down to the plywood edge. Thanks for trusting us with your most precious pieces.

This restoration was a treat. This sling sofa came to us tattered and well loved. We restored it in suitcase grade buttery smooth Horoween leather, polished the chrome, and deep cleaned the rubber. The result is a gorgeous thing you just want to sit in a pet all day.

Vintage knockoffs, not Eames, but pretty little gems worth restoring back to beautiful.

Our client found an orange armshell which had been assaulted with several layers of paint and then left outdoors to deteriorate for years. We removed the paint, reconditioned the fiberglass, and restored the gel coat. Another chair saved from the landfill!

Another gorgeous restoration. An Ash DCM arrived with holes in the backrest and a gloopy messy finish job on the seat. Restored to perfection.
