〰️BEFORE / AFTER〰️
Maggie brought in this 1968 Parker Knoll 988, still in its original fabric — a beautiful piece with great bones, but it didn’t quite fit her decor. We decided to bring it up to date while keeping its character.

She chose a calming aqua blue, a shade that ties in perfectly with the rest of her space. The frame’s brown lacquer was stripped back to reveal the lovely beech wood, finished with Osmo Raw and a few layers of hard wax oil for a natural look.

For comfort, I replaced all the old stuffings, firmed up the back, and added a firmer foam in the seat. The fabric, a gorgeous aqua, now complements her decor beautifully.

Inspired by one of my previous projects, Maggie also loved the idea of a loose headrest cover. I made one in a coordinating floral- a perfect nod to the garden view the chair now faces.

〰️BEFORE / AFTER〰️
Guy Rogers Manhattan Gentleman’s Chair - now for gentlewoman, Rebekah.

I gave the frame a good clean and oil, covered the screws the last owners added to strengthen it, and rewebbed with Pirelli webbing before finishing in a fabric from that could easily be mistaken for something from era it was made.

That makes this the third piece I’ve recovered in a brown fabric in the last few months… brown is back, baby - and I think I like it 🤎

This Overman-style swivel chair was upholstered using Abraham Moon 100% wool, Earth Collection – Fire. The bold orange wool brings a pop of colour and personality, complementing its mid-century curved form. Re-built from the polystyrene frame up using modern techniques, this piece has been given a new lease of life in its new home in Glasgow Southside.
