Here it is!









Here is the chaise longue previously upholstered in leather now covered in a beautiful velvet from Designers Guild in Cranberry colour from their Varese range. The chaise didn't  get a full reupholstery, just a new fabric cover. The foam was slightly tired but ok to last for a long while, it only made the tailoring of the cover a bit more difficult as it did not have any sharp foam edges anymore. I also added some piping around the seams to give it some definition and padded, top stitched the seat cushion. I think it looks terrific!

Work in progress...

I couldn't resist buying this chair reminding me of some of Gio Ponti's armchairs (ok, maybe it's just the legs!). Its black original vinyl will be replaced by teal velvet from Designers Guild which I think suits the brass legs quite well. It will be for sale at £650.

Gorgeous House of Hackney swivel chair for sale!




















I bought this chair because I loved its shape and swivel mechanism, you can see the wheel under the seat. Although I really like a well used leather chair, this one was unfortunately a bit too far used so I chose a House of Hackney velvet for it...a very successful print at Queens Park Day! This chair is for sale at £600.
