Hi All,
Just came across this site with some fabulous reproductions of Le Corbusiers sofas and chairs and am wondering if anyone has ordered from here or been to the store. I am wondering about the quality of the piece. The site looks pretty good. Luckily I'm in Minneapolis and their store is in Chicago so I can do a visit, but wanted to check with the "experts" out there first! Thanks for any help!!
Incidentally, I'm looking for the Petit Sofa and chair--would love the Lc5 too--but all is way out of my price range so for now, repros are the way to go.

I of course would as well, but cannot even come close to affording it. If I could, trust me, I would do that, but some of us who admire and enjoy the classic design have to make do when we can't afford the real thing.

No worries Vivienne....
No worries Vivienne. Hopefully I didn't sound harsh. My first choice would be the original design but have found something to tide me over until that time for a relatively small amount. Thanks for the interest.

The civility of this conversation..
is a small example of one of my reasons for believing that women should rule the world...

I wonder......
If women did rule the world they not behave just like men (M. Thatcher's justification of the sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands War, being one key example)?. In her case unpleasant masculine qualities were accompanied by some rather unpleasant feminine ones.
