When we received this pair of Mackintosh-style dining chairs, they were in urgent need of renovation. They were covered in paint-splatters, the seat of one was cracked, and of course the covers needed replacing. We rubbed down the frames and re-sprayed them black. The cracked wooden seat was replaced and new foam was applied to both chairs. The seats were then covered in a bold purple & black retro geometric pattern from Sunbury Design. It would have been very easy to select a ‘safer’ fabric, but the client was keen for something unusual which would stand out. The transformation is amazing and the result is a stunningly impactful pair of occasional chairs, ideal for brightening up a small space like a hallway. This project shows how a bold and adventurous choice of fabric can really pay dividends.
