There’s a lot going on with this chair, at least 2 layers of upholstery on top of the original, and what about those crossed staples, is there a reason for that or just for fun!!? Anyway it’s fully stripped now, a lovely solid frame which deserves the full works, plus the buried original pads are in good enough nic to re-use…..

These Carimate chairs designed Vico Magistretti are having a bit of a moment! This is the second set I’ve made new seats for in the last couple of months. They have a 1970s look but were designed for seating at the Carimate golf club in Italy in 1959. New seats woven with reel rush in a two to one block.
