Re: Ox
It wasn't re-upholstered in a bad way - just done poorly the first time around. As always with Modernica, the quality is as dependable as the weather.
I would love to own a real Ox. Even in pictures I can see the quality is better. But in the meantime this one is the placeholder...or until the next best thing comes along. While it's not nearly as cushy as the Eames it IS nice to be able to flop into the chair without worrying.

A great example of streamlining: The industrial designers of the '30s took the idea of streamlining and applied it to everyday things, even things that weren't supposed to move at all! Cosmetic changes of familiar objects stimulated consumer desire and people ended up buying things, even in the depths of the Great Depression.
She smelled really awful as a old lady (estate sale smell). I am still cleaning it but isn't she lovely!
