BEFORE / AFTER: Takeshi Nii Chairs

Timeless classics. Takeshi Nii Chairs. This set has the particularly rare (ish) ottoman. This was a pleasure to re-canvas in a bright blue canvas to match the chairs to each other. Now they’re a joy to use.

HOW-TO: Disassemble and Assemble an Authentic Eames Lounge

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.

BEFORE / AFTER: Dux Recliner Uphosltery and Restoration

This Dux chair came to us in a pretty gross state, and it had a broken cross rail at the tilt mechanism. We are always up to the task. Knoll fabric made for a pretty chair with all of the right details.

BEFORE / AFTER: Trio of Red Aniline LCW’s

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.
