Kinda related story;

My grandpa passed about 5 years ago. Avid deer hunter, but he didn’t hunt his last 10 years. His deer stand sat abandoned the whole time and slowly rotted. Finally about 2 years ago the wind knocked it over. I discovered this a few months after it happened and was picking through the mess. I found the mangled remnants of an authentic Herman Miller lounge chair from the 1960’s. I mentioned it to my dad and showed him a picture of what the chair was supposed to look like. He said that chair was in there house as a kid, got moved to his shop in the 80’s, and finally ended up in his deer stand.

Looking around quick online this chair are worth up to $10k+. I couldn’t believe it.

I was going to say that they must have changed their iconic bentwood frame to copy Eames. I have several ekornes and they are both incredibly uncomfortable to me.

Did you get a chance to take a pic of chair? I’m curious how it held up.
