A pair of vintage Eames Lounge Chairs at Moss are reupholstered in Repeat Dot fabric by Hella Jongerius for Maharam.
NY Times: Talk about a makeover. Among the latest offerings at the SoHo design mecca Moss is this pair of vintage Eames Lounge Chairs, which Murray Moss decided to re-cover in Hella Jongerius’s Repeat Dot fabric from Maharam. The chairs (which have been manufactured by Herman Miller since 1956) have a built-in pedigree because they’re made with Brazilian rosewood veneer, the material that was originally specified by Charles and Ray Eames, but which was discontinued in 1992 when Brazilian rosewood landed on the endangered species list. Jongerius’s eye-popping fabric, however, is what really makes them — it takes a design icon from the “Mad Men” era and catapults it into the 21st century. (As with many Moss creations, these don’t come cheap: the chairs are $16,000 each, or $30,000 for the pair.) They’re just the first (or first two) in a planned series of one-off furniture pieces on which Moss and Maharam will collaborate.
