Very nice. Makes me want to trade in my sneakers for shoes just to try out
the seats.

One of those things I've never thought about, whee do those seats come from.
Are they all custome made? Any particular history with the design? Finding
the fittings (foot rests) difficult?


the cushions were custom made from genuine nauga's :-] a local shop
made them. the foot props were ordered online by the contractor I did
the job for. not sure where he got them but said they were around 500
bucks! I had to work from was the dimentions of the three bases and
the cushion sizes. also had a picture to look at of one that is in
another building downtown. I put some of my own twists on it because I
hate copying someone elses work. from what I am told these are a
common item accross the country. I haven't ever seen one but.....
