I think I read on another forum that Lallemand chairs are now manufactured by Lafuma - and they do operate a parts service, but from the website I can't see that parts that you mention (not that I'm sure which strips you want).  However, their website is http://www.lafuma.org.uk/lafuma_spares.htm and it may be worth contacting them for more information.

Edited later:  Just checked - and this is the posting I remembered about Lallemand

I had two Lallemande recliners which, after seven years of regular use, eventually gave up the ghost. I contacted Lafuma - who by then had taken over Lallemande - told them the problem I had because I thought the problems were reparable. Some of the plastic joints had become brittle and had snapped.

Without any hassle they sent me two BRAND NEW recliners free of charge. It's that kind of service and customer care that you are paying for. Even more surprising when you consider the company is French.

However they do have an excellent UK office based at Fareham in Hampshire who I have found to be extremely helpful.

I hope this helps, Jim - and if you don't get anywhere I'll pick some new chairs up and bring them over to you in Australia for a small fee!

Hi I just found this not sure if it the same company as the web site seems very limited, there is a phone and fax number so you may be able to contact them direct, best of luck Roy.

How about a pop riveter (know what that is?) and some of that plastic strip wrap industry uses for holding stuff onto pallets?

You also get similar rubber strips on furniture which must be available to buy, even in OZ where I understand the POHM supply crates are becoming a thing of the past for contemporary furnishing.

Hi Vic - it was your posting that I copied into my reply for Jim - hope you don't mind.  I know you'd had very good service from Lafuma.

The elastics on our (similar to) Lafuma chairs had given up the ghost this year and lost all its stretch.  The Super U in Narbonne had packs of replacement elastics  and because the boxes were damaged we got two packs for 6 euros!  There were other bits and bobs to fit Lafuma chairs in the Camping section of the supermarket.

They were simple to fit and now the chairs are as good as new.
