Many of my friends know about this chair, but I never pass "garbage" the same way. I always look. My friend Rachel and I were biking a few months back and we both caught a sight of a chair on the curb. Rachel being kind and gracious said you get first dibs. We stopped and could tell it was a one time a wooden chair, but burgundy fabric was stapled from top to bottom. I took it home and with cootie protection I started to rip off the fabric, my heart raced as I recognized it being an "Eames" mid-century chair. On the bottom it had a name and it was an american(ish) name I googled it and sure enough this furniture maker was from Sweden. many weeks later I have this in my entryway.
