I don't know about you, but this chair made a huge impression on me... and not just because of the price...
Well, it is artsy - and probably its biggest draw. And may not be as uncomfortable as you might think - it is contoured although extended use might prove a bit hard. In that case it would be the perfect chair to pull out when the inlaws visit.
Even with a soft throw cushion applied, however, the price is very uncomfortable. I'm sure some freak on Wall street has a dozen ordered for his office.

I liked the little blurb about using an "organic sheepskin". Do they make inorganic sheepskins?

Oddly, under the bizarre rules of nomenclature that the FDA requires be applied to agricultural products, there are.

It's naugahyde, and I prefer mine from free-range naugabeests.
No, that's from nauga's.
Sure they do. Commonly used to prevent bed sores. Damned sight cheaper than the real version.
The Nauga Story...
Oooo...I *LIKE* it. Unfortunately, so would the gazillion or so spiders that live here...dozens of places to hide and make webs :(
As a kid I worked in a furniture store repairing TVs and remember when couches and chairs began coming in with little tags attached sporting the Nauga pictures you just linked to. Thanks for the flashback. I also remember the first Amana RadarRange. Man I feel old...

JUST DON'T FEED THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT!

Thanks for the flashback.
If you can remember the RadarRange, you *are* old. Just like me, but better old, than the alternative.

I still use the Amana Radarange cookbook for several recipes, including their "very yakky chicken", a favorite of kids and grandkids, as well as many others!

At todays exchange rate of $1.50/? that is $6600!! Btter buy it soon efore the dollar drops even further.
Don't forget the cushions, either.
Just goes to prove I'm in the wrong line of work. I'm turning, scrolling and carving and nothing for near that price. Apparently I could make a killing in dowels. Go figure. `Casper
I remember the first Amana Radarange. I also remember seeing a Raytheon radarange in the galley at the officers' club at the Navy base in Algiers, Louisiana some time around 1962.
FWIW, Radarange as a brand still exists, although Amana is now just a badge owned by Whirlpool.
Glad to bring back fun memories. ;)
I had forgotten about the tags. I remembered them after you mentioned it. Geez, now I'm feeling old too. Thanks guys! LOL `Casper
