mid century chair


Here is a little look at our latest reupholstery project. I couldn't resist the lines of this mid century chair when I saw it, particularly the side profile. I had to see past the nanna fabric to see the chair's potential.


This is what I mean by nanna. Yuck, right? There is good nanna, aka nanna chic. And then there is this. Which is something altogether different!


Here is that amazing side profile.


And the front.


The chair was given a new lease with red wool upholstery and a new feather seat cushion.  Those little brass legs were polished up beautifully (I managed to spill half a bottle of Brasso on myself whilst doing so!) and the legs given a good sand and oil. We have it listed in the store right now to purchase but it won't be available for delivery until about mid June as it is having a little trip to Sydney for a photo shoot first. We have also listed the red Featherston chair in the store right now.

So that is what we have been getting up to lately. Hope you like it!
