Aalto came up with this design over 75 years ago!
This one is a later model but still managed to arrive at the workshop completely knackered
Frame was stripped and refinished to remove storage mildew
Webbing replace with the genuine article
Perfect relaxation
If anyone knows how to get out of this please let us know

If you happen to swing by the workshop you will probably be greeted by a huge eames lover
This 1970’s Brazilian rosewood ES670 arrived at the workshop in terrible condition and Gypo loves it just the way is is.
Somethings are best left alone

For many many years this pair of Olivier Mourgue “Cubique” just sat and deteriorated, when they arrived at the shop they were just bodies and rusty bases.
Fiberglass was reinforced and repaired, new anchor points installed, bases polished
New foam was cut and formed perfectly
One of a kind maharam fabric covers fabricated with zippers
Tight, firm, perfect and pretty…………..wild

Very early 1960’s Es670-71 arrived at the workshop with thrashed cobalt blue cushions.
Brian L. wanted to keep the color uniqueness
Just more modern
We install stunning Townsend leather in Manta Blue

“It just broke”
Other fix-it guys would try and glue the pieces back together and you would end up sitting on egg shells till it brakes again. Lucky for Steve we are able to make a strong replacement rosewood panel with a very close matching grain.
All new shock mounts installed prior to complete panel restoration
After a perfect color match and oiled look finish is applied
Who would know, & we won’t tell
Contact us before it breaks
