1963 Eames Lounge Chair
Fully reupholstered Eames lounge chair and ottoman
The Challenge
This was the client's father's chair, originally purchased new in 1963. The client wanted to stay close to the original look by choosing new black leather, but opted for a matte, supple leather to provide a durable cushion for their family with kids.
The Process
We carefully assessed the condition of this iconic piece and developed a restoration plan that would honor its heritage while meeting the family's practical needs. The project involved completely reupholstering the cushions and armrests.
The Result
Beyond the upholstery, we replaced multiple pieces of hardware to ensure structural integrity. This thoughtfully restored heirloom piece will now provide comfortable lounging for another 70+ years, continuing its legacy in the family.
