I have had the “Mr. Chair” and ottoman since 1961 when my dad gave it to me as an elementary school graduation present. He said I should have something comfortable to sit in and study when I went to high school. I still have the floor lamp that was part of the gift. Like others commented the ‘spring’ has gone ‘soft’. I read the other suggestions but they seem to imply I’d have to swap out the hardware for something foreign to the design. Any better suggestions?

I was very lucky to stay there for a few days last year… And the Concierge is really great ! After a little speak with him, he proposed me to be upgrade in THE 606 Room for one night!! Just an incredible night ! Thanks to Stephen to remind me this precious experience :-)

Just love these! I’ve been looking for some great vintage posters for my den. Any one of these would look amazing!

Thanks, Joachim! That certainly makes more sense. I added a note and will get our image fixed. Corrected the date too.

hiya! the crans-montana poster is by Hans Erni, created in 1987. it also needs to be turned 90 degrees counterclockwise, so the skier zips downhill.

I take it the trolley that George Nelson is sitting on is one of his own designs too? Great shot of some massive contributors to modern furniture design.

We bought two boomerang chairs from Futurama and haven't looked back. Ordered and delivered in 6 weeks, made in USA. Great quality!
