Help! Womb Chair Knockoff?  

egg and womb =baby
A egg chair cost around 800.00 with c.o.m. fabric cost around 120.00 a womb chair cosat around 900.00 with 160.00 worth of fabric .

Well, it is pricey, but I'm...
Well, it is pricey, but I'm not wiping my jaw up off the floor or anything. If you do quality work, you deserve to make a healthy profit.
Now let me ask, because I've never seen one outfitted like the following: would it be possible to do an egg in a black snakeskin embossed vinyl on the bottom half, and, say, a tomato red slubby tweed on the upper/seat portion? I have the snakeskin vinyl (not funky junk -- actually quite classy in its way) and could probably find said tweed.
Just an idea I'm kicking around. I don't recall seeing any eggs with duo textile. I think it would look brilliant.

Not to knock anyones work her...
Not to knock anyones work here but I recovered a womb chair for 450 with my fabric from a good shop in Chicago. Then there is the most authentic shop to check out at the link below. LRF... does your work match or exceed B and K? How about redoing a parallel bar lounge chair from Knoll, in leather, with customers own material.

Oh and about knockoff womb...
Oh and about knockoff womb chairs, there were some on ebay a year ago. There must have been a short run of them from china or somewhere, and they looked poor. I would much rather have a good old shell anyday. Redone is fime if the right person hand sews the back cover on and gets the piping like the original.

womb chair
B k work looks nice
Our prices(retro redo ) are very similar i only notice 50.00 difference
We do not charge a upcharge on our fabric we use maharam and knoll
my hats off to any one who can redo a
egg chair last count 722 hand stiches
and a sore sore hand. any price any one charges on that chair is not enough cost ...it is a very difficult chair to do at best... it must be hand sewn... No telling what Arne Jacobsen was thinking when he dreamed that one up .

I'm still interested to know...
I'm still interested to know whether a contrast fabric/hide (leather/tweed for example) has ever been offered for the Jacobsen chairs, and whether this is something beyond the pale for a reupholstery job.

Willing to sell your old womb chair? Does it also have the ottoman?

Sorry, I've decided to save up my pennies and finish it, (along with all my other "projects" in the garage).

womb chair knockoff
White on White furniture in NYC specializes in knockoffs of knoll and other name furniture.
About a year ago they had a womb chair (KO) in their store on Essex street on the lower east side.
I can't vouch for their quality, though.

I wonder
if it would be possible (as an alternative to a proper reupholstery) to spray or dip the Womb shell with some sort of self-skinning foam -- hopefully with a suede-like or fuzzy texture ? This would be along the lines of a "Twenty-first Century update" of the original design and its conventional technology.
