Dear RAE,
My mother wants to know if it is possible for an ordinary mortal to buy a moonchair like the ones upstairs. Cost is no issue, since she doesn't have anywhere to put it, anyway. Thought you might know.
It's possible that the "ball," "womb," or "moon" chairs, as they are variously known, are still available. They were puchased in the early 1970's for around $700 each, so they would probably be a good bit more expensive now. The college got them from Stendig, Inc., 410 E. 62nd St., New York, N.Y.
