It was in my Dad's office and probably dates from the early '50s. It has the original orange Naugahyde upholstery, still in perfect condition. It is heavy and the wheels roll smoothly and you can adjust the height of the seat and the back support to whatever feels right for you. It is an excellent chair! I'm sure a snazzy, colorful new chair would look divine in my studio, but I can't imagine that my bum would feel as happy as it does on my old orange chair.
They just don't make chairs like they used to!! We had an Eames orange office chair from my FIL's office. It was orange. Mark still has it.
ReplyDeleteStand firm, Terry. A good chair is a treasure. Do not let it go!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that chair--maybe not beautiful, but... This is a case where the tukhus MUST make the final decision.
ReplyDeleteYou could have the best of both worlds, you know -- keep that wonderful chair and make some covers for the seat and back so you can change the look as the mood strikes... but I agree, a comfy chair is KEY.
ReplyDeleteHistory, comfort, utility are all important in your chair, and I am glad it is working for you. I do like Gerrie's idea of lime green, though. Perhaps elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog.
ReplyDeleteA comfortable chair is the most important thing. And they are so hard to find. I like your chair.
