1963 Eames Lounge Chair

This 1963 Eames Lounge Chair wasn't just furniture—it was a family legacy.

We undertook complete reupholstery with specially selected matte black leather that maintains the classic aesthetic while offering enhanced durability for a home with children. Alongside the visible transformation, we replaced critical hardware components to ensure this design classic can serve the family for generations to come.
