Help r.e restoring 670/671  

some people
Some people should not be allowed to own nice furniture if thats what they're going to do to it!
I would suggest a fine furniture restoration specialist. Someone who is able to fill in all the holes in the wood, and match the filler to the color of the veneer.
The larger problem may be the cushions. Eames 670 cushions arent contstructed like standard upholstery cushions. There is a hard plastic inner shell, on which foam is applied. The leather is tufted to the top of the cushion with buttons, then secured around the open edges with a zipper.
Sometimes cushion sets appear on Ebay. You may also try calling Herman Miller directly - or speak to Graham Mancha (UK) or Alfie at HumeModern (US) As always with a chair of this stature - restoring as much of the original is recommended.

Thanks for your reply, tell...
Thanks for your reply, tell me about it, why can't people leave things alone?!
I realised that about the cushions - Will have a look and see if I can find anything. Seems a shame not to repair it as I feel people should be keeping these for others to enjoy in the future.

Just dont know
Some people just dont know. If you are in the UK I highly recommend Graham Mancha. He has all the parts available if you want DIY - and he also does restoration. And think about the bright side: even if its a bit worn, you've still got yourself a 670 😀

Very true, have to be after...
Very true, have to be after one for ages now. I have spoken to Graham and will order the shock mounts from him. However he thinks the retrim would be too expensive so I shall have to look elsewhere.
Have emailed Hume for some advice so thank you for the link! Fingers crossed, anymore info would be great!
