Have I just spotted Marty Crane's chair?

[BitOfFun]

Watching a movie from 1986 (bonus points if you recognise it), and I've just spotted this armchair that I'm sure was in 'Frasier'.

I haven't googled the Crane chair to check, but what do you reckon?

I think so...

Looks like it alright.

St Elmo's Fire?

Nope, but around that time, Coswallope...

I don’t think so. It looks wider with thicker black stripes

There are black stripes on the first one 🤔

Close but no cigar (luckily, as it probably wasn't fire retardant back then)

About Last Night?

No, sorry it's no the same colour stripes.

I have no idea why I know this. I must have seen an interview or documentary about Frasier (even though I didn’t really like it)...but I’m sure they found the chair design, recovered it and then distressed it to make it look older, so essentially it was one of a kind?!

Nope, marty's is a recliner

About Last Night! Fab film. Sadly overlooked from the other brat pack ones. Ps I don't think it's the same chair.

Goodness. I have no memory for colour or patterns at all so Im impressed that you connected the two at all.
But no. Its a wholly different style of chair. but it is almost exactly the same pattern.

Ah, drat, I think you are right- it's not quite the same.

And yes, it is About Last Night- actually very well-written. I was a bit shocked by the swearing and crudity, especially from James Belushi- I have rosy-coloured memories when it comes to 1980s Brat Pack movies .

Wasn't this just an actual episode of Frasier?! Where the chair had been destroyed, Frasier recreated it and it was then the most expensive piece of furniture in his entire apartment (I love Frasier )

@NooneElseIsSingingMySong, that's fascinating! And I'm impressed by your retention of tv trivia .

Ah, @Geometricprince, I wonder!

Do you remember when he was moving out of the apartment, wasn't there a bit where Marty sat in Frazier's new chair and said how it was actually really comfortable?!

Great episode (the one where Frasier finally accidentally tells Daphne that Niles is in love with her) where he's put his back out, is hirpling around his living room and someone ends up collapsed in Marty's chair. And so finds out just how comfortable it is...

I loved the duct tape touch- nice!

Wasn't Marty Crane's chair a furniture item you could get in the original version of the Sims? I haven't played it for years or any of the newer versions as I decided it wasn't really for me, but that's something I remember.

I think I saw all of Frazier when it was on, but possibly not the last series for some reason, might have to see if it's on streaming somewhere although it will have to join the queue because I have several seasons of TBBT on DVD that I haven't got round to watching.

Thanks Bitoffun! I have a mind for useless information this article does confirm it was specially made.
