I think I was too late - so sorry. When you get to the finals, I'll try again.

Forgive me, my friend, but "blend in to the neighborhood"?

That sofa, and others like it, such as Arne Jacobsen's "Swan Chair" and Saarinen's "Womb Chair" are made with what's called "cold foam" and if you want to re-upholster, the foam must be replaced as well, because it's stuck to the outer finish material.
A place called Thomas Amato in Tribeca did a good job for me but it wasn't cheap.

Your friend, for the record, was not indoctrinated, either into a High Mondernist, or any other paradigms. He was treated to an extremely broad and liberally informed education which drew on the lessons from Imperial Roman Urbanism through Machine Age utopianism to post-Post Modernism and Deconstruction. And chief among the lessons was that all those terms aren't worth a damn. Robert Venturi cleared things up considerably with his admonition to appreciate "Both/And" rather than "Either/Or" when it comes to ideas, though I wouldn't want to shape my space with his ironic gestures. And while the Open Plan may have been a response to narrow 19th century narrative space, your friend has no particular "philosophy", Modernist or otherwise, so circumscribed as to exclude Theatre itself! As for that wallpaper, you may recall your friend describing how cleverly an application as old as wall covering could be so contemporarily inspired, with its cool clean colors and computer-generated motifs. Your friend takes exception but he still loves you.
