Solution of the Week: 1950s Chairs

There’s nothing better than a set of classic vintage chairs—that is, unless they are stained and covered in dated fabric, which was the case for these pieces. We refurbished and reupholstered the chairs to revitalize their look and launch them into the twenty-first century.
The chairs were first acquired almost sixty years ago by the mother of one of our clients. While the fabric was trendy back then, it definitely felt to us that the time was right for an update. We had the wood stained to bring out the natural walnut color and highlight the “good bones” of the chairs. The chairs were then framed with black wool and re-covered with this mod Maharam fabric. These changes refreshed the chairs while still staying true to the original style.

This is a recent project Michael and I finished. The beautiful sofa lounge was fabricated by Castellano, our favorite custom furniture fabricator in town! We love working with them. They can make anything our lovely hearts desire!
The photo to the right is from a visit to their workroom. This custom piece was specially designed for one of our client's. The fabric is by one of Michael's favorite designers, Paul Smith for Maharam. We can't wait to see the finished product!
