...six of them in fact. Since buying the Saarinen Tulip table recently I have been rather perturbed that our Arne Jacobsen chairs just don't look right with it. It's the legs, they are quite wide and they stick out far too much for my liking.
So the hunt was on for something new but it was more like day dreaming to be honest because of the expense of the table. I rather stupidly ( it got the better of me! ) wandered over to Pink Flamingos where I've bought most of my Eames chairs and rockers from. I knew they had to be Eames, black and I was edging towards dowel bases.....and there they were! My heart skipped a beat as per usual which is part of the course and I obsessed about them all week. They are apparently in immaculate condition and produced in 1969. Black ones are becoming more rare and they were actually produced for the commercial sector. The ever helpful (and very patient!) Justin has been superb as usual, they are currently being shipped from America and I should have them in about three weeks. I recently bought another black beauty from him and it would look great paired with another one at either end of the table. That's me day dreaming again though because with the table and the six new chairs we are spent out!
If you have something particular in mind then do get in touch with Justin at Pink Flamingos because he will probably be able to source it for you.
