This armchair needed a little more than simply recovering. Once stripped, the back required a complete rebuild underneath, restoring its structure and support before the new upholstery could begin.
The textured woven fabric has a wonderful mix of soft, earthy tones running through it – subtle shades of rust, ochre, blue, green and natural all blending together. The different coloured yarns create depth and movement rather than a definite pattern, making it interesting without being overpowering. Woven fabrics are particularly effective on upholstery because the weave itself provides texture and visual character.
The finished result feels warm, contemporary and incredibly versatile while still allowing the character of the original chair to shine through.
A great example of why a well-made piece of furniture is so worth saving – rebuilt, reupholstered and ready for many more years of use.
