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.

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.

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.
