HOW-TO: Disassemble and Assemble an Authentic Eames Lounge http://www.modernconscience.com/blog/how-to-disassemble-and-assemble-and-authentic-eames-lounge/ Mon, 16 Jan 2017 04:03:55 +0000 http://www.modernconscience.com/blog/?p=902 Continue reading]]> 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.

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 http://www.modernconscience.com/blog/before-and-after-trio-of-red-aniline-lcws/ Thu, 09 Apr 2015 00:11:45 +0000 http://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.
