I'm really looking forward to seeing these Ercol chairs get some new Pirelli web and cushions this week. Ayshya has painstakingly hand scraped the finish and polished her finish both in class and at home. In doing so she has transformed these overlooked brown chairs into two tone beauties. Beech in all its glory and not single staple or tack in sight.

Philomena's introduction to upholstery today. She discovered a cheeky English corner technique hiding under the cover of her chair.

It would be unfair to say not, clearly.
