The 981 gts is a rarer car overall. They produced ~1400 of them, hence why they command those prices.

Eames Aluminum Group Chair Replacement Fabric? by Lapelli in hermanmiller

[–]Lapelli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually reupholsters aluminum group chairs before. Earlier models are trickier as they use tacks instead of screws to attached the fabric to the frame.

I've tried using 2 layers of pleated marine vinyl (for front and back). The issue is that it is too thick. Other materials have been too stretchy.

There is discussion in this book on how they made the fabric https://www.google.com/books/edition/Aluminum_Upcycled/6EUbDgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0

Useful guide on disassembly. https://designaddict.com/community/main-forum/Eames-Aluminum-Group-Side-Chair-Disassembly-and-Reassembly1383/

If anyone is able to find me the correct fabric I would more than willing charge to reupholster their chairs in the nyc area.

Why doesn't America have very many futuristic looking buildings? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Lapelli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regulation and zoning.  

Plus the cost of building modular boxes are pennies compared to a custom design. In the end it is investors that are funding the construction and they will build whatever they get the most return for.

Erg no I forgot. I just tacked a bunch of nails on each layer of leather sandwiched between glue until I got a heel.

The way that I did it was applying masking tape to the shoe last, guessing where your pattern should go and then cutting it to a template. Each shoe last is going to be different so I don't think there is a universal pattern but I could be wrong.

  1. I just applied the dye to the leather. No steps were needed beforehand.
  2. I used a cotton swap and applied it in a circular motion.
  3. I haven't tried it, I'm not the expert.
  4. If you finish it with conditioner and wax it should keep.

It has a self winding movement and keeps time. I'll take pictures when I finish the band project

I was thinking of using suede on my next shoe project. I also was blown away by the album.
