Garageworks Industries serves up carbon fiber seating for the home
Taking the iconic Eames Shell Chair and improving it for the modern world, Garageworks Industries did up the classic design in carbon fiber. Not strictly auto related maybe, but we can totally see this in our garage, as we idle away the hours talking about or working on our rides. Especially if those rides happen to have a healthy dose of cf themselves, like the Lambos in the pics. Just like the original Eames chair showed off its fiberglass construction for all the world to see, these GI chairs are bare cf, and they are gorgeous. The most unfortunate part is that the GI website isn't really set up and their blog doesn't talk about price or availability. But click over and you'll see a few pics of both the rocker and the regular shell chair (above), as well as a classic student chair too (right) - all beautiful.
Thanks, Jay.

Another great way to waste a carbon fiber!

^^^My thoughts exactly. With the price of CF skyrocketing, this is definately a waste. Why? I couldn't imagine the comfort being anywhere near that of a full mesh chair, which is definately worth the money in my opinion...

the main reason for CF being more expensive lately is the huge amounts boeing is needing.
I for one wish I had more CF stuff in my house. Maybe a CF desk to replace this wood fiber stuff.

Now that would be hot! A little CF and SS desk, nothing really large but big enough for a monitor, keyboard and an area to shuffle papers. Something to slide your Recaro office chair under. Yeah, I like that!

As both a fan of cars AND mid century furniture, I have to say that is a handsome chair.
