Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chair & Ottoman - Imitation Leather

This is a rather nicely proportioned, and comfortable "Mid-Century Modern" lounge chair. I'm not sure if the current cover is original (doubtful) but the accompanying ottoman (which may or may not have come with the chair) used to be black.

The client wanted to go with a very nice quality imitation leather (vinyl), and I think they made a great call. The vinyl they picked out looks great, and has a nice soft feel.

After! What a difference! We also cleaned-up the chrome base.

Bisson & Choquette Swivel Chair - Bright Pink Floral

It's been quite a while since the blog has been updated, and I have about 3 months worth of projects to add over the next week or so.

Here is a very nice quality swivel chair, made by the company Bisson & Choquette out of Montreal. The chair has a massive wooden frame (very solid), and high-end feather pillows. The client wanted modifications to the chair to have the outer edge more squared, and with a piping there.

Though I haven't added the photos of all the steps involved, it took quite a bit of work to re-stuff and firm-up the interior edge to get a more squared shape (at least a day's worth of work). The client was very happy with the finished chair.

Before:





Note how the arms just gently curve in towards the centre of the chair, with no definition there.







The swivel base was stamped with a date.



Lots and lots of work later, note the nice squared top edge.

Barrymore Swivel Rocker - Ivory Suede

This was a lovely swivel rocker made by Barrymore in 1983. The original fabric was quite worn out, and it was in an off-white yellow tone velvet/suede. The new fabric was a similar soft suede in an off-white leaning more towards ivory/grey.











The date can be seen at the top.



I love how this chair turned out, and the new fabric was super soft and luxurious.
