I purchased two Eames study chairs from David at Cherished Art and Design. David is clearly someone who has a real passion for his trade and this is reflected in the quality and depth of range he carries and the way in which he is able to take you through the design history for each piece. Service was excellent - I required a small adjustment to one of the chairs which would have only taken 15 minutes but because I was short is time and couldnt wait he sorted them out and delivered them to my home.
