My Great Uncle Gerry used to live in Red Lion Square in Holborn and when he died I got this chair from his flat.
It's from around the time of Utility and being made from orange boxes needed a fair bit of reinforcement. I couldn't work out how it was made so I applied traditional upholstery techniques and went for the heavy horse-hair-and-hessian approach. I used a linen fabric by Moygashel called "Pinto" and designed by Arno Thoner.
With the offcuts I covered the worst quality footstool/box/ottoman I've ever seen that the chap at the auction forced on me. It's so terrible it comes free with the chair. It did make me laugh so I see it as worthwhile.
This chair is for sale.
Do you still have this chair?
ReplyDeleteYes I do
DeleteWhat is the price? I am wondering if I could get a courier to grab it for me?
