PARTS+SPARES / Eames Lounge and Ottoman - 670/671



Modern Conscience is the Eames Lounge and Ottoman expert. We have more than 50 years combined experience in all aspects of the restoration process, including the re-manufacture of obsolete parts. We have restored thousands of Eames Lounges and Ottomans.

Restoring the iconic 670/671 Eames Lounge and Ottoman requires that your restorer have the knowledge to first correctly identify the age of piece. The era of production defines many aspects of the restoration including which parts and materials will be required.

Many of the parts from each era are obsolete and are no longer in production by Herman Miller. Modern Conscience uses Herman Miller parts where possible, and exclusively manufacturers the necessary obsolete parts for each generation for use in our in-house restorations. This accurate production of parts and components is why Modern Conscience restorations are globally recognized for their careful conservation.

It is a clear gel that reaches full cure strength in about 48 hours.

Modern Conscience Wood Shockmount Adhesive is specifically recommended in conjunction with Modern Conscience shockmounts, as it has been tested specifically for this purpose. Modern Conscience Adhesive Activator is also recommended to make the process go quickly and smoothly. One bottle will provide enough adhesive to replace 8-12 standard round shockmounts, 4-6 Eames Lounge shockmounts, or 4-6 DCW/LCW lozenge style shockmounts.

Replacement Eames Lounge Unfinished Rosewood Lower Backrest
ModernConscienceReplacementEamesLoungeLowerBackrestRosewoodUnfinished Eames Lounge Unfinished Rosewood Lower Backrest. This new unfinished rosewood backrest is made from fresh rosewood veneer, which means the restorer must have the expertise to match the wood to the original backrest. This requires a very high amount of skill - we cannot overstate this enough, this is a very difficult process in most cases. The restorer must be comfortable in all methods and aspects of wood matching including, but not limited to staining, bleaching, fuming, etcetera. We send sample swatches cut from the waste of the exact same veneer to aid in practice matching. The four mounting holes for the back braces are pre-drilled. The shockmounts for the lower backrest are included and mounted. You will also want to be sure that the two shockmounts on the seat panel are replaced - you don't want to leave any aging and overstressed parts on the chair that are due to fail. We will be in touch with you soon after your order with options for you to choose the exact piece of rosewood veneer.

Replacement Eames Lounge Custom Matched Rosewood Lower Backrest
ModernConscienceReplacementEamesLoungeLowerBackrestRosewoodCustomMatchedClearFinish

Eames Lounge Custom Matched Rosewood Lower Backrest. A replacement lower backrest for the iconic Rosewood Eames Lounge made with real hardwood rosewood to perfectly match the original broken backrest. The backrest is custom made to match your chair using the original panel, which you send in. We are able to ensure the most accurate match to the grain pattern, finish, color, tone, and sheen of the original panel by having it there while we make the new panel. All wood oxidizes and changes over time, sometimes also dramatically fading depending on sun exposure. If you are outside of the United States, and therefore sending in the original panel is not financially possible, we can match the broken ear as an alternative - but please be aware this adds extra time to the process as it is much more time consuming to match such a small reference piece.

The four mounting holes for the back braces are pre-drilled. We will also transfer the clips from the broken backrest to the new one. Shockmounts are included and installed. You will also want to be sure that the seat shockmouts are replaced. It is advantageous to send in your seat panel with your lower backrest in order to have these replaced by Modern Conscience. Alternatively, if you are comfortable with these types of very challenging repairs, you could do this on your own by purchasing a pair of shockmounts along with your new lower backrest.

We will contact you shortly after receiving your order to arrange the shipment of your original panel.

Replacement Eames Lounge and Ottoman Upholstery Fill - Large Cushion Fill (fits either the seat or the ottoman)
HardwareEamesLoungeUpholsteryFill.jpg Eames Lounge and Ottoman Upholstery Fill. Replacement fill for Eames Lounge and Ottoman cushions. The fill for the seat and ottoman cushions is a high density, US made, upholstery foam wrapped in batting. The fill for the upper and lower backrests is high density batting. Extra batting is included with your order so that you may tuck extra bits around the perimeter to develop the correct form of the cushion.

This style fill is for the 'poofier' style Eames Lounge and Ottomans (those dating to the 1960's), not the earliest versions with the 'flatter' down filled cushions (those dating to the 1950's). Use this fill to replace fill that has broken down and is deteriorating. Do not use this fill to make and older 1950's lounges with the flat style cushions 'poofy.' This is because the older style with the flat cushions are a different pattern and the leather has literally been sewn in a flatter shape.

Modern Conscience Wood Restoration Kit (Tung Oil Finish)
HardwareTungOilWoodRestorationKit.jpg

Modern Conscience Wood Restoration Kits. These handy little kits contain everything you'll need to restore the wood finish on your classic pieces. These are the same products we use in-house. The kits contain a 1/2 pint of either raw tung oil, tung oil finish, or waxed base solution. We all three methods for such restoration in-house. These are all industry standards for wood finish conditioning and restoration. The tung oil finish will require fewer coats to quickly achieve a medium gloss. While a wax based solution gives the restorer more freedom to build a finish ranging from matte to gloss over more time with several coats. Raw tung oil requires the most patience with several days long dry time between coats and lots of buffing required.

Instructions, sandpaper, steel wool, and lint-free cloths are also included. Each kit includes enough product to handle an average restoration for four to six chairs. If a more aggressive restoration is required plan for the kit to handle about two chairs.
