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.

http://www.modernconscience.com/blog/before-and-after-trio-of-red-aniline-lcws/
Thu, 09 Apr 2015 00:11:45 +0000http://www.modernconscience.com/blog/?p=553 Continue reading]]>This trio of Red Aniline Eames LCW Lounge Chairs arrived in a sad state. Brown house paint, chips, rips, drilled holes in the backrests and chunks torn out of the spine.
We did paint removal, extensive veneer work, perfect red aniline, chip repairs, and new shockmounts. Please notice the care we’ve taken to use as much of the original hardware as possible, use correct shockmounts, which accurately match the originals, and preserve the soul of each chair by ever so carefully keeping as much of the original aniline dye as possible.
This is now an impressive and valuable trio.
