Circa 1950's single armchair in cloth fabric.

This project was to bring this beautiful 1950's chair back to life to be used as a feeding chair.
We wanted a fabric that wasnt too light to hide any spill mishaps and we were very keen on the desire for a beautiful hand printed linen made in Australia. So we could not go past CLOTH for the perfect pattern linen. The blue really showed off the beautiful curved wooden arms.

Custom made L Shape Booth Lounge
This was made in collaboration with Fresh Prince for Concrete Playground HQ.

Fresh Prince (Alice and Richie, friends from my hometown Walcha) approached me to do the upholstery for this project. I helped Alice with the frame design to make sure it was easy for me when it came to upholstering the wood frame.
One challenge we had was to make sure it fit through the small terrace house entrance. This was done by building the L in 2 and also the curved ends in seperate pieces.
Another design challenge was to create curved ends on the seat and also making the seat taper at bottom. Having the curved seat seperate from the straight seat meant i could tailor the front panel in at bottom to avoid excess pleats on bottom.
Fresh Prince finished it off with brass trim which finished the lounge off perfectly!

The fabric was by Warwick fabrics, Entice Pacific Velvet which was perfect to brighten the room.
