I have been looking for a cane chair just like this for well over a year now. Last summer, I saw one at the flea market but they were asking $90. My best friend Laura major low balled for me and we basically got kicked out of the booth. Good times.<br />But, I'm glad I held out because this one is gorgeous, in great condition, and a great price! Ideally though, I'll be able to find a partner for her, and a great reupholstery fabric.<br />I  might leave the wood natural though...just touch it up a bit...is that crazy?:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1tv7ty-nWvau5QAvThpY6gO_EjeLA0j2hVE7rd6E9wV_h-Q2AyywxEunc1OzdeWKW_co_4IJU16Pxi84ewQaxEJVl9LLLnqQ2M8XlpmoULTlpHT97oA3JBz00jhVg2UwWqJEyDZzNXc/s1600/cane+chairs+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1tv7ty-nWvau5QAvThpY6gO_EjeLA0j2hVE7rd6E9wV_h-Q2AyywxEunc1OzdeWKW_co_4IJU16Pxi84ewQaxEJVl9LLLnqQ2M8XlpmoULTlpHT97oA3JBz00jhVg2UwWqJEyDZzNXc/s1600/cane+chairs+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lonny.com/photos/February+March+2010+Issue/OKa42clXEhp" target="_blank">via Lonny February/March 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftUwo7p6USi6gCeTf01zBfAYNQYogOL3tlTA66E961bBcC1bEV1J86QmNo68d44LTpStKHKPMXH9HekK7Rt6Lnimto2YNwul2ykrlHT4DtJVnVqD4KlbM4WkpLn1tNCBIukkLNWmY7B8/s1600/cane+chairs+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftUwo7p6USi6gCeTf01zBfAYNQYogOL3tlTA66E961bBcC1bEV1J86QmNo68d44LTpStKHKPMXH9HekK7Rt6Lnimto2YNwul2ykrlHT4DtJVnVqD4KlbM4WkpLn1tNCBIukkLNWmY7B8/s1600/cane+chairs+2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lonny.com/photos/February+March+2010+Issue/EEqi0DSg2Jh" target="_blank">via Lonny February/March 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Do you think this is an upholstery job I can tackle on my own?

Wegner. Since it's invention, it has been in constant production by the fine furniture company Carl Hansen and Son. It gets its name from the unique centre piece on the back of the chair, which literally resembles the forked clavicle or collar bone found in most birds, commonly called a wishbone. There was an ancient belief that chickens were fortune tellers, and that when two people hold the wishbone and pull it until it breaks, the person left with the longer piece will have their wish granted. Kinda cool!<br /><br />For the more practical minded, it's also known as the Y-chair. Officially the CH24. Easily customizable and made from steam bent beechwood. Priced at around $800. <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">It's name is totally appropriate because although it's way out of my budget, one can always </span><i style="color: #674ea7;">wish</i><span style="color: #674ea7;">.</span></span><br /><br />What I love about these chairs is their delicate, gorgeous frame, and their tremendous customizability. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq10RkrA3k6MeLGP9lR43XbLrwdw6FYRfp9pg_O8Bzc2NeJXQWpiUYMhfbB8rBNSS8JWoeNhWGRvn0rNe5YleEosS43CwJzKbpLcHlFJTPy0EmGbUfjbdeukCYCyGGQJyQhGDopmLonEI/s1600/wishbone+chair+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq10RkrA3k6MeLGP9lR43XbLrwdw6FYRfp9pg_O8Bzc2NeJXQWpiUYMhfbB8rBNSS8JWoeNhWGRvn0rNe5YleEosS43CwJzKbpLcHlFJTPy0EmGbUfjbdeukCYCyGGQJyQhGDopmLonEI/s640/wishbone+chair+1.jpg" width="512" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://biggirlhouse.tumblr.com/post/9934363615" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSOzzSG6tvqW_CjrIGMMJRmbg82vBjN9DeSBKrzJ0JGuouSCplmbjV_6AfZk4KQNprc01-7I1Dz6xXXoLrmWrwZqvn-i1pzdsQS3qNJXKN560kVf4cy9C3aCXQx5ptnkkiQdNyq8JXeg/s1600/black+wishbone+chairs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSOzzSG6tvqW_CjrIGMMJRmbg82vBjN9DeSBKrzJ0JGuouSCplmbjV_6AfZk4KQNprc01-7I1Dz6xXXoLrmWrwZqvn-i1pzdsQS3qNJXKN560kVf4cy9C3aCXQx5ptnkkiQdNyq8JXeg/s1600/black+wishbone+chairs.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://everybodylovesdesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/spotted-wishbone-chair.html" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghSNKqdQB_LV0Fyr7G2DxfOGC9MpUt5taTQG_Ld8CkIau8KpLImF56uWW60Cj0Tek5Np6aZjSwPOY2ff1LkFITncUYUgSikGz7-Qny0tzDOua-r89zpge49BxHYqDH7Gww8n2BPYf9kug/s1600/wishbone+chair+colours.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghSNKqdQB_LV0Fyr7G2DxfOGC9MpUt5taTQG_Ld8CkIau8KpLImF56uWW60Cj0Tek5Np6aZjSwPOY2ff1LkFITncUYUgSikGz7-Qny0tzDOua-r89zpge49BxHYqDH7Gww8n2BPYf9kug/s1600/wishbone+chair+colours.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.suiteny.com/products/limited-edition/60th-anniversary-ch24-wishbone-chair/1006/" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table>I'm going to wish on a wishbone for a wishbone chair.

I had to pick the classic Eames Lounge 670 and Ottoman 671. I recently saw the handcrafted process of making this lounge chair on HGTV’s ‘Design DNA’ and learnt that the construction hasn’t changed much since it first hit the market in 1956. This iconic beauty was designed for the Herman Miller furniture company by Charles and Ray Eames (a married couple) who were inspired by a baseball glove. The design took years of planning, trial and error. In the end, the final design was a keeper, and hasn’t been messed with for over 60 years! The only major changes are switching from rosewood veneer to a more environmentally friendly plywood, and from five layers of wood fused together to seven. In fact, it is part of New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) PERMANANTLY, making it not only an ingenious piece of design, but a work of art in itself. What an honour! Just looking at it you can see why.  </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Its molded plywood shell is what makes it truly beautiful, and keeps each chair unique. The cushions are made to maximize comfort, and rubber shock mounts allow the chair to flex slightly for a discrete rocking motion. It also swivels 360 degrees. The leather is cinched for a worn look. The classic black leather is a popular choice (and my personal favourite), but Herman Miller now offers the Eames Lounge in a variety of colours and finishes. It makes my favourite list because I love its masculine, industrial and yet comfortable look and feel. It is an iconic piece instantly recognizable in any space.</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4D2IzUMthvfuYQhRklxFWEhmxnc_TzU4y1wAMKLBPWg3mBS257NgcSbnfX0-2CE1R2PpxTdWpm_sEsNk1UQfr8TrVmAJwj_IojWijnkx2hj2v2zBUWKKz482ZR78L5bSb9_IjtWPnrg/s1600/tumblr_lwl1ekHSOn1ql5s20o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4D2IzUMthvfuYQhRklxFWEhmxnc_TzU4y1wAMKLBPWg3mBS257NgcSbnfX0-2CE1R2PpxTdWpm_sEsNk1UQfr8TrVmAJwj_IojWijnkx2hj2v2zBUWKKz482ZR78L5bSb9_IjtWPnrg/s1600/tumblr_lwl1ekHSOn1ql5s20o1_500.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Warning: </b><br />Before you fall completely head over heels in love with this furniture piece (maybe I should have cautioned earlier), I should warn you that it is pricey! In 1956, it retailed at a bit over 300 dollars. Now, a newly constructed Eames Lounge will run you about $4500 before tax in the United States, with some classics selling in auction for close to the $7000 mark! Even high quality and convincing replicas approach two grand. The European Vitra version is even more expensive. But hey, we can dream right? If you’re ever blessed enough to purchase one of these beauties, however, the attention to detail and high quality, hand crafted construction will last decades making it an heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">This chair made its TV debut in 1956 on NBC’s broadcast of Arlene Francis’s ‘Home’. You can watch the videos of this vintage appearance on Youtube. Part one <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfzLzOl795E" target="_blank">here</a> and part two <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MomNfLGOLg" target="_blank">here</a> for those interested. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">This chair is often quoted for its prominent appearance in the hit show Frasier (reportedly seen in all episodes but one!). I'm not the hugest Frasier fan, however, so my favourite guest appearance of the chair is on Gossip Girl, where it was recovered in a gorgeous Missoni fabric. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ9dQ24PSwC6AtVTA7-FlyAD-mVk53pBpMvgAhbbvC6V3xnZNReWW9qti_0BN_Xn-8XHWF5hI5Kn4zg2BJKdGvVzI0AaKlq2oL7eIHKPuzlrXZGMzx3UrHZaOLKyd8Fl4e6TInuLmrUw/s1600/gg+eames.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ9dQ24PSwC6AtVTA7-FlyAD-mVk53pBpMvgAhbbvC6V3xnZNReWW9qti_0BN_Xn-8XHWF5hI5Kn4zg2BJKdGvVzI0AaKlq2oL7eIHKPuzlrXZGMzx3UrHZaOLKyd8Fl4e6TInuLmrUw/s1600/gg+eames.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZuPAbeMd2FUuuNTKuTMYY9zorJ-6G9b506KrAkeD0B6su71yjsW2ipMk15roagTxbPsm7Hewwh41kuO3s18_gPY62f0qdx5JlSlU59Up2YJ4EA4SprNuNdFYAPwvv0QTVUYlurpC52g/s1600/dan+eames.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZuPAbeMd2FUuuNTKuTMYY9zorJ-6G9b506KrAkeD0B6su71yjsW2ipMk15roagTxbPsm7Hewwh41kuO3s18_gPY62f0qdx5JlSlU59Up2YJ4EA4SprNuNdFYAPwvv0QTVUYlurpC52g/s320/dan+eames.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIXlI4AhXQ5jE7m5Q5DMYwR-PMOCdFGgGNstwViunPZMnAknc_aIK7XxE448gEunmhaKcz-MbrlywEZ5eH83Ur8j6zmCR9vB65s5w5tir66c025UWrR9aygdJGt__4VXHspJIYcGKQug/s1600/gossip-girl-here-meet-the-eames-lounger-larger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIXlI4AhXQ5jE7m5Q5DMYwR-PMOCdFGgGNstwViunPZMnAknc_aIK7XxE448gEunmhaKcz-MbrlywEZ5eH83Ur8j6zmCR9vB65s5w5tir66c025UWrR9aygdJGt__4VXHspJIYcGKQug/s320/gossip-girl-here-meet-the-eames-lounger-larger.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I hope you enjoyed reading all about this iconic and historical piece of furniture as much as I enjoyed researching it!
