But I can't see the iconic shape anymore!
Drew didn't restore jack shit.
He just removed the carefully placed "dents" where the sitters forearms & elbows are supposed to rest. He removed one of the best parts of the design.
Typical artist. Obsessed with form and oblivious to function. The fact there was a "defect" on both arms should have been a big hint that it was part of the design.
Didn't even research the chair or anything before he began work on it. Nice.
Sorry, wrong fabric for that chair 👎
Great job restoring the base and perfect work on upholstery just missed the mark on fabric
🤷 Almost nailed it!
Black fabric should have been a vinyl. The chair sits unevenly because it is lacking floor leveling screws. Should not have filled in dents as they are for elbows as stated elsewhere. Great craftsmanship though!
Hope the great craftsmanship was mine? 😁

I never realised the significance of Lurashell Chairs until I watched this. As a young 15 year old I worked for Lurashell in a large old Hut behind Wood Brothers in Ware. I must have helped make hundreds of the Shells. My lasting memory is of being covered with fibre-glass dust and no doubt breathing in large amounts as we had no PPE in those days! My skin was often red-raw at the end of the day. Still the pay for a 15 year old was worth it.
Drew has to make his own brand for luxury furniture ...!
Aren't they something? Saved another piece of history!
Would have liked to have seen how he finished putting on the fabric ,wrinkle fabric to finished job like magic!
It was hard work, but wasn`t filmed!
@@craighughesupholsteryoffic5077 just recently recovered a couple of those not an easy job!
I'd like to meander around that work-shop. It is interesting, with big heads and lovely things.
Pop in if you find yourself in North Wales
I had a sofa, small low backed and a tall chair suite in Royal blue fabric in 1967. It cost £36 . It had wooden legs and was very comfortable
sound recordist had a nightmare with that jacket drew had on.
These guys are Always incredible
Both those guys are great 👍
Really came out a WOW !
Thanks!
AWESOME TEAM!
And all of a sudden there was new foam on the chair...
Sorry, not my department filming!
I have a lurashell chair From the QE2. The fabric looks original to the chair but it is a heavy turquoise blue tweed . Does anyone know anything about this? Could that have been an original color picked? It would have complimented the orange and yellow, but become dated very quickly.
horrid
Love this. I want one. 😫
Liam Gallagher hasn’t aged well has he?
Thank you now I shall not watch.

he should've fixed the metal parts between the chair and the base . it doesn't look sturdy, especially when it swivels
