Review Photos
We look at the cushions, the leather type, and the wear pattern on your chair and ottoman to plan the repair.
Safe Cleaning
We remove body oils and dirt with cleaners made for aniline and semi-aniline leather used on Eames chairs.
Repair the Leather
We fill cracks, close split seams, and rebuild worn spots on the seat, back, and armrest cushions.
Match the Color
We tint the color by hand to fit the original leather of your chair.
Condition and Seal
We finish with a soft protective coat that keeps the leather supple.
An Eames lounge chair is built to last for generations, but its leather cushions show their age. Seat cushions crack, armrest pads dry out, and black or brown leather fades after years of sitting near a sunny window.
We repair the leather on Eames lounge chairs and ottomans, including original vintage pieces from the 1950s and 1960s and licensed Herman Miller and Vitra chairs, in homes across Seattle and nearby cities.
Most cushion repairs are done right at your home, so the chair never has to be shipped or crated. We handle the cushions carefully and put everything back the way we found it.
Our goal is to keep the look and feel of the original leather. We avoid heavy coatings that make the hide stiff or plastic.
Text us photos of your chair and ottoman and tell us about the damage. We will send you a price and the next open date.
Can you repair the leather on an Eames lounge chair?
Yes. We repair cracks, tears, dry spots, general wear, and fading on the seat, back, headrest, and armrest cushions of Eames lounge chairs and matching ottomans.
Will repair lower the value of my Eames chair?
Careful leather repair keeps the original cushions in place, which is usually better for the value of a vintage or licensed chair than replacing them with new leather. We explain the options before we start.
Can you match the color of Eames leather?
Yes. We match black, brown, walnut, tan, and other Eames leather colors by hand and keep the natural grain and soft sheen of the original hide.
Do you work on vintage Eames chairs?
Yes. We repair original vintage chairs from the 1950s through the 1990s, as well as newer Herman Miller and Vitra models and quality reproductions. Older leather is handled gently because it is often thinner.
Can you fix a split seam on an Eames cushion?
Many split seams can be closed and reinforced without replacing the cushion. Clear photos help us check the stitching, piping, and the leather around the seam.
Why does Eames chair leather crack?
Eames chairs often use soft aniline leather. Over time, body oils, heat, sunlight, and dry indoor air cause the leather to lose moisture and crack where it bends.
Can you restore faded Eames leather?
Yes. Faded or uneven leather can be cleaned, tinted, and sealed so the chair and ottoman have an even color again while the leather stays soft.
Do I need to send the chair to a shop?
No. Most Eames leather repairs are done at your home in Seattle, so there is no need for shipping, crating, or moving a heavy chair. We bring all supplies with us.
How long does Eames leather repair take?
Most chairs are done in one visit of a few hours. Full recoloring of both the chair and ottoman may need extra drying time or a second visit.
