Project Description

The Eames™ Design

Avoid Catastrophic Failure

In attaching the back to the base, Eames™ avoided the use of bolts, choosing to mate the plywood pieces by gluing a rubber "shock mount" between them. The term "shock mount" was in part is more symbolic and a marketing decision.

We see too often the dismay and grief when this expensive chairs' back attachment fails, and the owner discovers the large community of similarly disappointed owners. Herman Miller and Vitra never offered more than a 3 1/2 year warranty on the shock mounts, contrasting with 15 year warranties on other products of the Eames™'s.

Broken Plywood Specialists

We are one of the few companies in the world that repair broken plywood "arms", and the only one to offer a 15 year warranty

Shipping & Reassembly

You could send the lower back shell and the seat shell with the steel arm brackets (without pads) to us disassembled in a box, and we will repair and ship disassembled, for you to reassemble (simple screws).

Return cost of shipping is additional, and will be shipped back using your pre-paid return shipping label, that should be sent to us with the lounge.

The box needed is 24" x 24" x 14", with the parts immobilized so they don't rattle inside the box.

Eames Lounge repairs are completed within 1-3 weeks of receipt.

Shock Mount Repair

All shock mounts fail at some point in time. We use the same style shock mounts as Herman Miller. We have chosen the strongest adhesive available, one that is specifically designed for this purpose.

Broken wing repair

One of the unique services we provide is the near seamless repair of broken wings.

Rosewood Restoration or Refinishing

Some people like their Eames™ lounges to show a little age (restoring) other people prefer a more pristine look (refinishing). In both cases, we are not aiming to make the chair look new but to create a patina that accurately reflects what the chair would look like if it were kept in near perfect condition.

New leather cushions

We can make you new leather cushions. We have invested years mastering the process to make sure we reproduce all the details of the original cushions. We have chosen a leather that best reflects the quality and sheen of the original Eames™ lounge leather.

Leather Restoration

If Your Leather Is Chaffed or Merely Worn (no Major Tears or Rot) Then We Can Restore Them to Near Perfect Condition.

Zipper & Backer Replacement

We replace worn out old zippers and we can repair and or replace the fiber board backers.

Shell Chair Shock Mount Repair

We repair shock mounts, restore and refinish the wood shells, and restore the fibergalss shells on all other Eames™ chairs.

I bought my Eames™ Chair in 1989. Its been reasonably well cared for but used almost daily for all those years. Olek has been my go to for all necessary service on the chair. I can't say enough good about Peter and his company. They're very professional. They communicate with you as to what needs to be done This last work was replacing the cushions on both the ottoman and the chair. The leather matches perfectly. Thanks Peter and all for a making my chair whole again.

Steve Berde Verified Review

When my vintage Eames™ lounge chair suddenly broke in two I found several places that claimed to specialize in such restoration. I am so glad that I picked Oleck. Peter Triestman and the men he works with are true artists and experts at furniture restoration. I would trust them with furniture from any period and plan on bringing them other fine furniture I have that needs serious repair. They returned all of my emails quickly, answered questions, and picked up and returned the furniture in great time. Thank you Olek!

Great service!
I sent photos of my damaged Eames™ lounge chair - received a reply in less than 24 hours with an estimated cost; received timely and useful communications throughout the process (including helpful instructions for disassembling and shipping as well as an update with an option for further restoration) and got the chair back fully restored in a couple of weeks.
