Uchida Leather Sling Lounge Chair

This is one of those pieces I'm having a hard time letting go of.  This low-sitting lounger has great casual modern appeal that is timeless.  The original was designed by Suekichi Uchida in the 1960's and utilized canvas for the sling.  It was reproduced later in Korea using heavier gauge tubing and high quality saddle leather.  This is the Korean version.  The leather has a great patina that looks warm and inviting, like you are sitting in a catcher's mit.  There are a couple of 1" sections of stitching that have worn but it doesn't compromise the strength of the chair and could probably be easily repaired at a good tack shop.  With leather sling chairs being all the rage right now this is a great, unique find at a fraction of the price of new.
