I was recently asked to build a reclining Morris Chair similar to the one being sold in Restoration Hardware.
Thanks in advance!
Strictly speaking that's not a Morris, as "Morrisness" stems from being a copy of one of Morris' own chairs, where the reclining back was adjusted by an extended horizontal armrest and a pair of movable pegs in it.
As to that "Lazy-Brat" footrest mechanism, then I don;t know where to buy one. But personally I'd try asking in s/h furniture shops and seeing if they had an old one I could refurbish.

Build a Morris chair and a separate ottoman. They'll be happy with that.
Not a project for the beginner.
Thes people make mechanisms, but I don't know if they will sell retail.

Leave it to NJ to produce "Eurobutt".
