Whitespike needs some identification - sorry  

if memory serves me correctly...
i believe i've this chair as well... ah yes... it was on Star Trek: The Danish Generation...
but seriously, that chair freaks my mind out(in a geeky, fun i certainly don't hate it kind of way). you really are on a Saarinen kick, aren't you.

If
it was comfortable I'd buy it. That would be how I would decide on this one.
I like the Star Trek association. I think this was maybe upholstered in female Hypnarian hide. . .

Nice job whitespike...a...
Nice job whitespike...a thread to badger out the Sci-Fi junkies.

Would you keep it the same color
because it looks like it might be a reupholsters worst nightmare given the angles and seams, looks very comfy though.

Yeah, I think I could live...
Yeah, I think I could live with this chair were it comfortable but the color/upholstery, I don't know - definitely vintage Star Trek. As for the sci-fi folks, I sense most of the real diehard ones are just getting home from Minnesota. But that's another topic.

Never
seen anything like it in England .........

passed it up
I am not so much into the upholstery - and, yes, it would be a bitch to recover.

I think its a great chair! ...
