Your Listening chair

Gthirteen, I have tried the Barcelona and it is better to look at than sit in....but very attractive. The Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer is actually a better sit. For less money the old Siesta Chair by Westnofa...from Norway is very good, as are some of the Ekornes Stressless series.. but..they are too high for me..and the back has impact on the sound...not unlike cupping your hands behind your ears. I still prefer the Eames chanir and the Hans Wegner rocker.

To all above, I am a small retailer..and don't have a printed brochure on all I carry. I do have lit. on individual pieces that I would be happy to supply...just e-mail your address. Also, if you plug Herman Miller..or Eames or Hans Wegner or anything else you are thinking of into a search engine..like Dogpile.. you will find better pics...and more info than I could ever send you. Some things I do ship..and some I would suggest finding a dealer in your local area. Actually I am not trying to drum up business...I just know modern furniture...and, to an extent..hi-fi.

I use an Ekornes stressless chair. Reclines fully, swivels and non-intrusive headrest. Very good back and neck support, upholstered in comfortable leather. Only drawback is cost, I got mine for about $1100 on sale.

I, too have the ekornes stressless, and I've found that it is a better computer chair than listening chair. I have the Kensington model, and I paid around 11 hundred as well. I'm fairly tall, but my ears are still below the top of the chair, and I find that the chairback is a reflective surface, even though the leather is SOOOO soft. Better to use something else. Whatjd, I'm so jealous. I wish I could get into the Miller Eames Lounge chair, especially at dealer cost!!! As far as I'm concerned, you have the second best job on the planet!! Have you tried the Corbusier LC1 Basculant chair? It supposedly reclines, but I just cant see how from any pics I've seen. It appears to be a good contender, however.

Gthirteen,...am I to assume that you, like I, consider being a Ferrari test driver...to be the best job on the planet? ...As far as actual jobs...that would be my choice....however, being a good dad..is my number 1 vocation.
