[NEohioPAL]Help: In need of a chair and ottoman

[Todd Krispinsky]

Hello all,

I am currently working on the scenic design for Dobama Theatre’s upcoming 
winter production of the Carol Churchill's play, "A Number".  As part of the 
design, I would like to find a chair and matching ottoman to serve as the 
focal point of the room layout, but am having some difficulty in finding 
something that will fit within our tight budget.  I’m hoping that someone 
out there in the arts community might be able to lend a hand in helping us 
locate one to borrow, rent or (dare I say) have.

Ideally, I am looking for a brown (or dark and earthy), leather chair and 
matching ottoman – something very masculine in appearance.  The more used 
the better.  We are looking for something worn.  I am flexible on the look 
of the piece, but we would like to find something that is fairly 
timeless…and not of a given period (60s, 70s etc.).  We don’t want to 
conjure a specific era.

If you have such a piece and would be willing to help us out, or know of 
someone else that might be able to assist, please respond to me via email 
and include some contact information so that I can respond to you.  If you 
can easily take a digital photo of the chair/ottoman combo and attach it to 
your email that would be extra great.

When working on working on Eric Coble’s recent play Ten Minutes From 
Cleveland, I posted here searching for some difficulat prop items and the 
response from this list was overwhelmingly positive.  I am hoping for a 
similar outcome again this time.  My fingers are cross’d.  Thank you in 
advance for any assistance that you might be able to provide.

Have a great holiday.
