SeligPlycraftFiveStarLoungeParts_List

There are countless iterations of vintage Selig and Plycraft Lounges and Ottomans. Please don't be offended if we tell you that your "Eames Lounge" is not genuine; there are many, many, many of these Selig and Plycraft versions, none of which were designed by Charles and Ray Eames. The most obvious difference between the genuine Eames Lounge and the Plycraft and Selig version is usually the base.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you require parts for your unusual Selig chair. Often the versions of Selig chairs have so many subtle differences that the parts need to be handled on a case by case basis. We are happy to help you find any of the parts you require. Some images of your chair are helpful, along with an explanation of what seems to be missing or requires repair. Don't hesitate to contact us for help. sales@modernconscience.com

Modern Conscience Wood Restoration Kit (Tung Oil Finish)
HardwareTungOilWoodRestorationKit.jpg

Modern Conscience Wood Restoration Kits. These handy little kits contain everything you'll need to restore the wood finish on your classic pieces. These are the same products we use in-house. The kits contain a 1/2 pint of either raw tung oil, tung oil finish, or waxed base solution. We all three methods for such restoration in-house. These are all industry standards for wood finish conditioning and restoration. The tung oil finish will require fewer coats to quickly achieve a medium gloss. While a wax based solution gives the restorer more freedom to build a finish ranging from matte to gloss over more time with several coats. Raw tung oil requires the most patience with several days long dry time between coats and lots of buffing required.

Instructions, sandpaper, steel wool, and lint-free cloths are also included. Each kit includes enough product to handle an average restoration for four to six chairs. If a more aggressive restoration is required plan for the kit to handle about two chairs.

Replacement Plycraft and Selig Lounge Bushing
HardwareEamesAluminumGroupShortBushing.jpg Plycraft and Selif Lounge Bushing. This is a machined high-friction plastic bushing available in a variety of sizes to facilitate the repair of various Plycraft and Selig Lounge bases. The bases for Selig and Plycraft lounges were not routinely standardized; as a result it can be challenging to find bushings and parts to restore them. Both Selig and Plycraft were competing with the Eames and sometimes used a bit of a 'hodge-podge' of parts in order to make their lounges much more 'affordable' than the Eames Lounge. Please make sure you select the correct shaft diameter and tube inside diameter.
$42.00
Select the stem diameter and the tube diameter.
