      eheh…I agree with you, even if I can’t chose between these and the Eames Shell Molded Plastic Chair.
      I’m a simple guy in the end ;)

      Thanks for reading and ciao!

    Happy Easter! :-) My terrible secret is that I actually find the egg chair quite uncomfortable…it is very beautiful though!

      Happy Easter to you too! :D
      Hmm….do you know that I only have a rule in my blog? Never put the words ‘Egg Chair’ and ‘uncomfortable’ in the same sentence! LOL

      See you soon around here.

      Ciao!

    Haha, it’s sacrilege, I know! I sat in one for the first time about a year ago, although it was a leather model.

      Maybe you should try it one more time… ;)

      Which is your favorite Mid-Century chair, then?

      Ciao!

    Well, I’m lucky to have inherited a vintage Wegner Papa Bear armchair from my grandparents and can vouch that that one is incredibly comfortable. I would also love to own an Eames recliner and bet that one is comfy as well. Also want a Swan chair. Clearly I need to win the lottery several times!

      …ahah…plus you need an airport hall to host all these -big- chairs! :D

      Do you have any pics of your ‘Bear’? Once I seat on one and I found it extremely comfy…until I heard the crazy price :(

      Ciao!

    It needs to be reupholstered very urgently, I’m currently saving up for it (so expensive!)

      How nice! :D It’s amazing to have a piece of furniture with these such nice family memories. It’s rare.

      I would go for a fabric closest possible to the original one. Think to it as an investment, it worths the money!

      Thanks for sharing your chair and story, really appreciated.

      Ciao.
