Eames Chair Reupholstery for Herman Miller, Hille and Vitra

A London Architect asked us to reupholster and repad his original 1970's Eames for Herman Miller plywood and leather lounge chair as the leather had cracked and torn. It has been recovered in a luxurious soft black aniline leather which develops a lovely patina with age.  A little extra padding was added when reupholstering the chair to match it as closely as possible to its original look and feel.
 

The customer from Surrey commented that: 'The initial delight at seeing my 35-year old Herman Miller chair reborn has not diminished in any way. In fact, having sat in it every day since delivery, I am astonished at how bad it had become and just how good it is now and instead of a split and tired old relic confined to a little used corner, it is restored to its original prominent place.  I think the aniline leather is even better than the original, being flatter in colour with less shine and the upholstery detail is as good as the original.'
 

These much loved pieces have often been in families for many years  and over the years I can reupholster them in high quality leather or fabric of your choosing.   I have a large selction of leather colours and types to choose from all of an equal quality to the original.   

Restoration can include repolishing the shells and replacing the polypropylene backs and often the shock mounts have failed.
