Project Chairs Continued.

The material for the chair has arrived this week from Designers Guild, so it means this weekend I must make a start refurbishing. I have bought the cotton batting and foam in preparation for the seat and I have to say it is quite exciting, I want to see the finished item before completion.
If you wanted to try reupholstering one of your chairs to bring it back to life, I have stumbled across a website designsponge.com that gives easy step by step instructions.

Amrapali Peony Fabric from Designers Guild

Ercol Style Chair Waiting to be Painted.

I will hopefully be featuring the above chairs on Etsy, so I thought I would see if I could find inspiration on their website for some future chairs. The three chairs below are fantastic example of the hand crafted furniture available for sale, right now!

Matheu Lauer

Wooden Handmade Chair.

Chair above is sold on Etsy by joiner, Matheu Lauer who is about to graduate in Architecture.

All of his hardwood pieces are totally handmade with careful workmanship. 'It works without the help of assistants, in order to create and to meet needs or offer practical solutions whilst valuing simple shapes that please the eye'. Matheu's work is 100% handmade, without the aid of advanced machinery.

The chair above is aptly named Married or Single Wood Chair. The Project was developed from demolition wood (Peroba Rosa). The idea behind this creation is to reflect dynamic versatility. The chair itself slides apart so it can be used by one or two people. 'If you Married or Single and no matter with this chair there is always room for one more'. 

Who could not be inspired by his bespoke styles! Visit matheuslauer.com for more. 

Young Hip And Handy

The chair above is sold on Esty by Young Hip and Handy. Sarah is another example of young talent that has a passion for furniture, 'I'm a girl on a budget and I love a good DIY challenge. I constantly take on projects to make my space more beautiful and functional'.

This Vintage Arm Chair is warmly painted grey and sealed with soft wax for a matte look. The seat is covered in a beautiful coral and white Suzani Print, which really compliments the grey. Sarah also has a website which will keep you up to date with her blogs and furniture creations, take a look!

Pink Pianos

Hand Crafted 1920s Chair with new Reupholstered Seat.

Chair above sold on Etsy by PinkPianos. The owner of PinkPianos, Hilary Hahn designs unique and

custom furnishing, which has appeared in several publications : Apartment Therapy, Knock off Wood, ArtnLight, LovelyClusters, NiceDwellings, ThePurpleFig, and TheHaystackNeedle. She describes herself as 'always creating things for as long as I can remember' and has honed her techniques formally through studying Set Design, Fine Art, and Interior Design. Hilary now runs her online shop through Etsy and is producing wonderful pieces just like the chair above.

The chair's style is called a shield back beacuse of the shape, which is then adorned with ornamental "wheat" carved into the frame and is finished with a Modern Folk Art inspired Waverly fabric creating the perfect match to update this classic piece.
