Trio of Cintique chairs finished in Linwood Fabric 'Pluto' range. Thanks to Cushion Warehouse for the great wool back inners!

Stripping down this lovely old Habitat chair with a sheet cane seat. This is a much quicker way than the traditional method of caning using skeins in predetermined holes; rather a pre-woven panel of rattan fixed into a continuous recess all the way round.

🌿 In my happy place experimenting with new materials for foam alternatives. Wool insulation from my customer's pet packaging and playing about with UK H**p and some Sisal too.🌿🐑

A coven of Cobra chairs designed by . New seat inners with recycled polyester filling, a beautiful hide from and a quick polish on the chrome with some T-Cut. The challenge with this project was fixing the upholstery on, with an all metal frame there was no option to staple. The seats needed to perfectly fit with a cord and toggle system finished off on the clips underneath. Final photo is the 'before' with the old vinyl slipping out of place.
I do love a challenge, me!
