FINALLY Found A Listening Chair I Want

[MikeHorns]

Looks great! Did you buy it? I see you’re in LA where the seller was located.

Someone else bought it. I already have a mid-century chair of my own.

Return of a classic…
Recently had to have my KEM Weber cantilever chair repaired. This is hands down, the most comfortable listening chair I have ever sat in. Fat, firm vintage cushions in nylon frisée and a slight rocking motion allow the chair to groove with any music. This is my forever chair!

Have you posted you're entire system? It looks like it's on point with mid century audio and furniture.

Great for catching a few tunes ...


there's good rocking at Mitt Night . . . .

A man walks into a doctors office
“What seems to be the problem?” Asks the doc
“It’s... um... well... I have five penises.” says the man

“Blimey!” Says the doctor, “how do your trousers fit?”

“Like a glove.”

This was $600.00 nice comfy chair my ears are at tweeter height.

I recently got this IMG Space 5400 in chili red color. love it.. it has a rechargeable battery to power the reclining mechanism. very comfortable, good quality feel, it swivels, the headrest is not too high (below ear level) and is removable. the only thing it does not do is adjust height, but is a non issue for me because it has perfect height.

Being able to put your feet up when you just want to relax and listen take listening pleasure to the next level.

 

[Ron Resnick]

That looks very comfortable and very well-made!

The above chair closely resembles our four dining room chairs since my significant other decided to adopt two cats....

LOL! Since you like the chair the seller has a nice rug to go with it, apparently it has great acoustic and dampening qualities.

(beautiful, but I'd miss the arms)


Poltrana Chaise



The Buckley Listening Chair




Le Corbusier - The only one of these I've owned.

Agreed!
I have had IMG chairs for 10 years and they are one of the most ergonomically correct chairs out there

No arms is torture. That’s like when I go to the dentist and my shoulders are wider than the chair so I have to tuck my hands under my belt or something.

I take notes while listening for review and my Stickley Morris chair with its wide arms is near perfect for holding a notebook. Thoroughly solid seating.

I ordered an Eames chair for the demo room I am building too.

Thank you guys for posting both the picture and the name of the chair. That Eames chair looks nice!
The headrest is not too high and the chair is available in acoustically friendly Mohair too. There's a local show room where I can try both the standard and tall size for fit.
Just noticed Herman Miller is offering 25% off thru next Tuesday. I'm going to my local showroom to try one this weekend.
Could this be the end of my search? I hope so.
Thanks again @TheMooN and @komodo for bringing this chair to my attention!
