Q: I was hoping someone can give me the names of a few upholsterers who have worked on Eames aluminum task chairs. The chair is quite challenging to redo, and I do not want to start a project like this with someone who has not worked on chairs from this group. Thank you!

I would start with BK Upholstery in PA. They have a good reputation and they do a lot of high end mid-century modern stuff.

You may have luck with Hume Modern in Venice, CA.

go to www.hermanmiller.com and look up your local dealer. Call them to see who they would recommend that does Herman Miller refurbish work.
Hey spanky, BK is close to me and I'm looking for somebody to reupholster several challenging mid-century pieces!
But I googled them & couldn't find out where they have a good reputation… couldn't find basically anything about them at all. Where do you hear good things about them? Thanks!
Not sure if location is key for you, but Mod Restoration, Brooklyn, 1 43rd St Brooklyn, NY 11232 (347) 442-1900, did my Eames Management chair and did an awesome job!
Sorry, I didn't check back on this thread until today. I've heard good things about BK locally but I think also on the Design Addict forum (designaddict.com).
If you're near them, I'm sure you could go look at some of their work in the shop. Good luck!
I would love to see a photo of how it turned out. I was also looking for someone in Brooklyn so was looking into them. Do you think you could send a link?
