I've been contemplating for a while the possibility of making an Eames Lounge Chair at home. I have one of those shitty office chairs for my daily use and it sucks. A gentleman like me, gracefully living with his parents, deserves a better seating, don't you think?
A couple months ago I started thinking more seriously about making it and I went and found some stuff showing disassembled chairs and schematics and all.
I've never bent wood, so I would need some advice on that. Also, the metal parts that join the back panels to the seating, how do I pull it off? What kind of rubber/polymer should I use for the dampers? How do I make the star base and how do I mount wheels to it?
Has anyone ever tried to make one? Share your experiences, anons!
tl;dr how do I make an Eames Lounge Chair from scratch on wheels?
